Sandro is similar to a [[Warlock]] [[Malekith]], but necromancer have different use than a warlock. Most important spells for necromancers are focused on improving durability like [[stone skin]], [[slow]]ing enemies and resurrecting undead armies ([[animate dead]]). None of them are a destructive spells. Even with high spellpower and sorcery speciallist, undead-specific spells do very little damage. Necromancers simply do not have much time to cast destructive spells.
