I managed to get my necro to lvl 72 in hell. I'd suggest pushing on and not sticking around in NM since you'll get better experience and actually be making progress throughout the game. I play with an amazon so I don't have to rely too heavily on casting except for amp damage, bonewall, and corpse explosion. Sometimes I'll have to resummon my fire golem, but that doesn't seem to happen often now that i've maxed it out and put about 10 points into golem mastery.
I found a silks of the victor today, but it turned out to be ethereal, dammit. I guess my merc will be using this one when she's able to wear it (using a normal rogue who is only lvl 47 and keeps dying too much).
So far I've been pretty lucky with drops that has helped me out a bit. I'm using mostly low level items, but they seem to do the trick: torch of iro, stealth armor, lore circlet, "eth" necro head, a caster belt that i crafted with some nice mana regen, some nice caster rings with resists, a +1 rare necro ammy with fcr and some other stats, sigon's boots for the cold resistance and frw, and a pair of crappy gloves with lit resist. I'm trying to craft some better caster gloves if possible.
I wouldn't say that I'm struggling in hell mode, but it's definitely a challenge. So far I've only died maybe 3-4 times total and that was due to lag, and once out of stupidity (i.e. herding too many monsters that run way too fast in the dark woods for example).
Best game ever.
