In my opinion either dark elves or gnomes make the best necros for three reasons.
1. They're both evil, so no painful betrayel quest required.
2. They both have excellent night vision. I personally hate to keep jacking with the gamma button! It's just easier to hit my ultra-vision button!
3. They both start off with high INT.
1. Erudites and iksar are also available in evil flavor.
2. It doesn't get hardly as dark at night in eq2 as it did in eq1
3. Erudites start off with the highest intellegence and have better wis than dark elf and gnomes to boot.
And stat raising equipment will not balance out stats because that erudite is going to be boosting his int as well. However, I don't think that high int really amounts to anything even if it says so on paper. You probably won't notice any difference between a iksar with 20 int vs an erudite with 30 int beside power pool.
