Arcane Necromancy is not Inferior?(The Cleric vs. the Death Master)

[NEXxREX]

the DN is actually, at least in my books, the best NECROMANCER in the game. In early levels a DN kinda sucks and is more gish then necromancer, but once they hit level 8 they outshine even the cleric and, yes, the death master due to their undead mastery ability. The only issue with DNs is their botched spell list

seems like your qualifications for the best necromancer are being able to cast desecrate and getting animate dead as early as possible.

dread necromancer is amazing as a necromancer cause that's what its designed to do. the spell list is the balancing factor to make it less ridiculous. cause 4+Cha HD/Lv for animate undead trumps everything a clerics got. plus you could go 3 lvs of cleric you could take mystic theurge/true necro and then you have got the best necromancer possible.

and clerics are decent necromancers but they are far from the best.

early level necromancers yes cleric is pretty good but at later levels they get blown away.
