Shouldn't I just pick one Lore?
It kinda depends on what I want to do right?:help:

[Necromancer]

Yes it does. Though I always suggest nabbing a few ranks of each at minimum. Also, your shield use is too high. It should be .5x, not 1x. So that should free up quite a few TPs there. Do you bolt often? If not, you could free up 620 TPs alone by dropping to 1x SA. May as well push your demonology to 50, or at least 48 (as that one rank drops your intrarealm transport failure by 1%).

I'd also nab some more spell ranks. There's nothing wrong with 2x, it's perfectly viable, but if you could toss in an extra 6 or 7 sorcery ranks, it'd make a difference with your CS. Minors seem just fine the way they are.

You'll never be much of an infuser with MIU ranks that low. If that doesn't bother you, you're fine. If it does, I'd see if you can get it up to 1x (at least until 80 ranks or so), and try to go to 1.5x AS if you can muster it.

Finally, ask yourself if you really need those swimming ranks right now. You'll need them later, certainly, but not for another 30 levels. Why put TPs into something you can't use now in preparation for years away if you don't have to?

Good overall though. I hate the brawling build personally, but I know some swear by it.

Eh, didn't Ganalon post his example of his sorcerer as the OP asked for people's opinions? That skill set isn't the OP's sorcerer.

But thanks. Also I heard it is posible to hunt with just 702?
How long will that work?
and after that what would I hunt with?

[Necromancer]

You can hunt with 702 until you stab yourself in the eyes due to boredom while the rest of the profession laughs at you for wasting the other 19 spells in the circle.

What you'll use instead of 702 depends entirely on what you are hunting, how you are trained, and what your personal preferences are.

But expect to make liberal use of 711, 715, 705, 719, 720, 717, 708, 701, and 118.
