Subject: Curious on 8 memorized spells for lev 16 through 23 rd level play ers ?


Hail fellow necromancers

I am lev 14th and already finding it hard to pick exactly which 8 spells to
keep memorized. I currently don't keep shielding and grim aura memorized,
rather I cast and delete them, then repeat later when they wear off.

When I'm in a large group that is killing fast, I tend to use the low mana
spells like siphon str and disease so I can do this to all MOBS. I like to
keep gate memorized for emergencies, my best life suck spell, my ward
undead, and my best darkness spell as it slows the MOBs down if they are
fleeing or if I need to flee. I also find dark empathy handy to emergency
heal passerby's that are dying. I make a lot of friends that way. I also
find mend bones quite handy esp when I'm soloing or in a group of 2 where
the other person is a wizard or other spell type. I also like the vampiric
embrace as I can tank at the beginning of a fight longer, back out and life
drain, then tank again. That extra 25 tap 2 or 3 times some fights has made
a big difference a few times.

So I have at lev 14 something like this memorized.

1)Best Life Drain
2)Vampiric Embrace
3)Englufing Darkness
4)Heat Blood (or if in lavastorm or big group Disease)
5)Dark Empathy
6)Mend Bones (or if in group with tanks siphon str or posion bolt)
7)Gate
8)Ward Undead

I wish I had slots for fear and shadow step but I don't usually.
At lev 16 I see a lot of new neat spells. A new DOT. Feign Death. A spell to
make you immune to damage for a short time ect. I am at a loss as to how to
fit all the fun spells in. I'm happy in the sence there are so many cool
spells I can sorta mix and match for the situation but its much more
difficult living with 8 spells at a time then when I play my lev 17
magician. I can mem and forget all my summon spells. My combat ones are
always less then 8. IE DD, AE, Gate, Damage Shield and I'm about done with
important spells.

I was wanting advice from higher lev necromancers about what spells they
tend to load and for what situations. Esp for the lev 16 and the 20th
spells.
