Well I don't know what level you are, or the gear you've got etc but I can tell you waht works for me.
Necromancer EQ2 - Wipido
EverQuest II Players - Profile for Aeeron
my toons gear isn't even that good

I generally start by running away from the target until they are close to me and then ill use the stun ability ( i dont even remember the name lol). Followed by either getting more range, or if im far enough i'm casting bewilderment (on the run nuke) and bloodcoil (bloodcoil is unresistable and with najenas ring of readiness it hits for 1.5k+ in pvp ).

After that my pet does a lot of the work... usually soulrot/lifetap unless I have a good root/stun/fear on target and i'll cast lifeburn, or if its a mage i will generally use lifeburn after my first two spells.

Pet taunt and int line pet deaggro work well for making your target lose you as target, use a feign death and quickly press x after you taunt them.

Use dispell magic against any healer or tank because if you have AA's in it (you should++) it will dispell some heal or important buff, for instance nullmail, all types of heals, and crusader refect can be dispelled.

Cast consumption before you pull.
If your kiting someone with lich on below 40% take it off until your about to nuke someone again.

Get justice cloak, its stupid overpowered even if you already have a stun spell.

my pvp spec is basically the standard necro spec, there really isn't much difference aside from i have no points in wisdom currently because i dont have enough aa, but have 4-4-1 stamina for pet taunt.

This advice is from a tier 7/8 pov if your lower level you probably need to just root the person and lifeburn them to kill them..

Aeeron's aa build is more of a group/pve build then solo/pvp one. IMO for pvp you need way more defense. Though you have to upgrade your gear first. You will not survive over 1 sec in mastercrafted or T1/T2 gear in pvp honestly, regardless of your aa setup. My PvP aa setup is something like this at the moment (and i change it a lot):

Summoner tree:

STR - 4-4-8 (you want to max the parry because that's uncontested parry and you don't need spell crits for PvP as most ppl run around in 100 crit mit anyway)

AGI - 4-4-8 (the first 8 points are wasted, but the 52% chance for pet avoidance will give you some additional chance to survive, not much though)

STA - 4-4-8 (the second 4 points are wasted if you are using myth pet, if you gonna fight with tank pet, the stun will come handy... i am currently experimenting with 8 points in pet taunt because it looks to me as if it helps a bit with the resists of the taunt...the description says nothing about that though)

INT - 4-4-8-5 (again we go for 8 points in the defensive one... spell damage prevent my save your ass sometimes)

Necromancer tree:

Get everything in rotting and lifeburn. Signature skill in PvP.

Get the 5 points in mage pet if you are using myth.

Get all upgrades for stun/root/fear

The rest is irrelevant. Except maybe to put 5 points into Enhance: Transfer Life, because you can use it to heal yourself with 0 power spent, can come handy. In PvP it will heal you for 781 with 5 points spent and the skill mastered. (costs 931 health, heals for 1712)

Shadows:

General: Pretty much irrelevant, I went for the health and mount speed, put some points into power too

Mage: Root, Magi's shielding, Strike of the Mage, Arcane Barrier, Bewilderment

Summoner: Spend 10 points as you wish and get endline. (dimensional storage can be good if your pet dies a lot, pet weapon mastery is good too)... I went for hate gain reduction here because I use my PvP build for solo too and it helps the pet keep the aggro.

Necromancer: I went in for Lifetap and Bloodcloud enhance then the endlines...


So basically what I did with my PvP aa build is... Get the max defense where its possible, spend the rest in +dps...

Default Re: Best Pvp AA spec for a Necromancer... Solo pvp

oh wow, well that definately is a new way to look at it, keeping pet with aggro so i dont get hit and getting up defense so i can take at least 1 whack hehe!
hm alright well i think i will give your spec a shot or somethign simmilar to it, currently i am specced

Summoner
str 4-4-4-8
wis 4-4-4-2
int 4-4-6-8-1
Necromancer
max root, dispel, fear, paralyze, 5 in consumption, 2 in mortality mark and 1 in siphon souls, because i wanted to get tainted heals and i think debuffs work well in pvp not to sure though have not noticed much
then max in rot, blodcoil, pandemic, and the bloody ritual then Lifeburn!
and 5 points into Enhance Grim Sorcer, i dont have my mythical yet, but trying to get it soon
and finally Shadows tree
General
Pet of the gods -2
Hearty Constitution 3
Swift journey 5
Mage
Root Mastery 5
Strike of the Mage 5
and bewilderment
not sure if i should put points into Arcane barrier, althoguh the power and magical resist would be nice
Shadows(summoner)
Minion's critical Strike 5
Pet Weapon Mastery 5
and Minion's Mark
thats all the point i had equalling out to be 143 points,
but i think i like the idea of going a bit more defensive

oh yeah, and i had a question for my racial trait, i am a frog, i get to choose between wis and sta which would be better for a necro?
wis for resists?
or sta for health?

Oh and one thing... You might want to rethink your choice for pet crit chance because - again - crits don't work against well geared people. And if you are using this build for PvP/PvE solo then you must get Tainted Heals, it is extremely important for solo PvE. And since we can only switch 2 aa setup, you have to compromise somewhere.

And don't bother casting debuffs in PvP, you will not survive to kill your opponent - maybe vs a healer it's ok, but in most fights you either kill or die fast.

ah alright, ill make sure to get tainted heals, hm curious i see what ya mean by crits dont really matter against well geared people, but where else shall i spend the points if not the extra crit%?
ay it would be nice if this could work well for pve/pvp but leaning more twords pvp, ok
i suppose i dont need the 2 points in debuff then because ya heh the fights dont seem to last to long unless its a healer heh
