Necromancer's Skills question

So, After looking over the Necromancer, and hearing that their Ultimate isn't all that great, I was wondering what suggestions there were for the Necro?

Well, as probably you know, necro abilities are s**t too, so you have to get only basic abilities. Something like this:

*Attack -> Battle Frenzy - Archery
*Defense -> Vitality - Evasion
*Dark Magic -> Master of Curses - Mark of the Necromancer
*Enlightenment -> Intelligence
*Sorcery/Logistics/Summoning/Destructive...

I like death march...helps greatly when assaulting castles...haunted mines can be good.

No,its a feat of the logistics that necros,knights and warlocks can get,and it gives you +4 on the speed of creatures when you attack a castle.

Yea, I understand that Leadership is a waste of a skill, however, because it leads to Herald, is the reason I chose it. So, Diplomacy + Herald = massive amounts of troops :D
