Subject: necroclev2 weapon required in tot105 range
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, let me start with the 4 necrocast2 weapons we already have. there is
the staff of the archlich, tot113, a weapon which doesnt require much str
to wield.  Another necroclev2 weapon is the staff of white necromancy. this
item is actually very great, but it's good flagged. This good flag isnt an
issue when you're tot120, but lets check the tot105ish eq. Hessonite
rings/rings of necromancy, cloak of the necromancer, demon skull mask,
cruesome leggings of interwoven human bone or however you spell it - all
those pieces are anti good flagged. The third necroclev 2 weapon is the
dragon bone staff, which is actually also a great piece and used by most
necromancers. It, however, requires 25 str to wield. This str requiriment
forces necromancers to train their str to ta least 17, in most cases to 20
or higher, so they are able to use litreally the only midlevel necroclev
staff which is available for all alignments/class combinations without
having to win a dice in a big group - and even if that happens, tot113 is
rather high level already. The 4th and last  necroclev staff is the staff
of the occult, but this has an evil- and a cleric flag, and especially the
latter makes it unusable for most necromancers in the midlevels. We have two
options we can choose from. Either, we build more good friendly but not neutral
unfriendly equipment in the midlevel range. Since Mount blitzstadt good
necros can be played properly, thanks to draak, without having super many
disadvantages because bad eq, but tot119 isnt what i call midlevel :D What
i suggest is a necroclev2 weapon which doesnt require to much str to wield,
15 to 17 str is probably doable for most necromancers. This could be
another staff or a sacrifical dagger or w/e. I suggest a necro flag, also
maybe an antigood flag, as we have already the staff of white necromancy
which covers good necros/neutral people with a good aligned set or
whatever. Just for a comparison, i think the first mageclev2 weapon is the
cane which isnt hard to get these days, druids have their druidclev 2 staff
which is tot104, i dont know how many deedes you're forced to do for that,
and i dont know for sure about clerics but i think as a lv32 cleric you can
get a staff for both evil and anti evil, and at tot109 also a staff which
isnt flagged at all. Cane is lv33. Please, builders, consider adding such a
necroclev2 weapon when it would fit in the area and when you have a binding
artifact flag you dont need :D.  If you wonder why i'm coming up with this
now? Because it's in my opinion very weird that necromancers have to push
up str that much for a single item, str is the least required stat for a
necromancer, int, wis, con, dex and chr are all more important for casting,
not being oneshot, being able to sneak/avoid hits/for not being aggroed. -
