Outside the combat triangle
DW weapons, armour, abilities, incantations while supporting skills and items that work with other combat styles.
Death Guard: Channeled Necrotic attacks to damage, debuff, or afflict foes with effects.
Spirit Lantern: Conjure the dead. Conjure undead allies to fight alongside you and enhance their capabilities with various abilities earned. 3 conjures on launch.
Incantations: Necromantic spellbook that forms part of the combat experience. Incantations provide spells that support the skill like Bone shield (more on this one lateR).
Level 120, combat level to 152.

Admission: Combat in RS is difficult to master. Necromancy should be straightforward to learn and highly rewarding to master.
“For the less combat-experienced, this is the perfect time to get to grips with it. Through an extensive tutorial, curated quests and clear challenges, Necromancy will guide your growth both in power and in skill to help you take on the best combat experiences RuneScape has to offer. With its unique design emphasizing auto-attacks as a potent baseline, you'll be able to fully focus on using your powerful abilities at the right time - and as you learn at your own pace, begin experimenting to get the most out of your abilities.”
Necromancy armour and weapons will also be upgradable without the need to chase drops. Branch at tier 70 between tank and power.
