Our goal as a Necromancer in Classic will be to get the highest overall HP/Mana possible. This will be done via HP/Mana/Intellect/Stamina. Necromancers benefit from both Mana and HP quite a bit due to:

1) Casting Spells (duh)
2) Lich (Increased Mana regen rate at the cost of HP over time)
3) Lifetap/HP DoT’s (Provides HP at the cost of Mana)

The situation you’re in will determine how much HP is useful to you.

For example: If you have someone healing you, or you have cleric buffs, then HP on gear will mean less than if you are soloing without buffs.

I’ll include a variety of options where applicable.

Below are approximate stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary a bit depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.

If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
