1) Charms. That can mean lots of resist.
2) Curses. If you use them well, you won't even get hit, so resist is not important. Attract & dim vision is your friend.
3) Play style. Again, play well and you won't get hit. Don't do suicide runs in particular. (ie. running ahead of your minions)
4) Wizardspike + 3 diamond shield (or similar) on switch. Resist problem solved. Use the switch on anything dangerous. (like souls)

I am assuming you are saying that you are the one who get killed, not your summons. If it is your summons, you probably do not have summon resist, so 1 point there.

liberal use of the Dim Vision curse works wonders.

Attract is also very useful to make monsters ignore you and attack each other.

IMO CoA is overpriced and not really beneficial (for this build). 15 resist GC's sounds good, or even single elements would do fine. You really only need lightning resist anyways. The rest you can deal with by simply not getting hit.

Easiest WsK running necro gear:
Wizardspike (Hel rune, if no block)
Homunculus (PDiamond, or if you're really that rich use an Um)
Thundergod's vigor

That's it. Fill the rest of the slots with +skills and/or MF, torch, anni, etc.

I did a WsK run with ONLY those three items, and in hardcore, and I was just fine. Skeletons got a little weak without the +skills pumping them into the indestructible range, but I had a really beefy merc and revives so it wasn't even a problem.

The best part about using Wizzy is that it gets you really close to the 75% FCR breakpoint. Just put on mages(For more CE power) or Trang's claw and a FCR/Mana/whatever ring. Put on two FCR rings, Vipermagi and a 5%FCR amulet and you hit the last FCR breakpoint possible on a necromancer.

Without the Viper (Say, Enigma?) you would need 35 FCR from your amulet+hat slot which is kind of tough unless you're a crafting wizard.
Actually, it's really tough to hit 125% when wearing Enigma without using some really trick gear... not advised unless you've got tons of runes to burn trading for the stuff or crafting in huge amounts or gambling forever for your golemlords amulets/circlets of the apprentice/magus

Wizspike, PDiamond Homunculus - QFT.

very good combination of blocking, resists and fcr with these 2 pieces of equipment. switch to AoKL and any +skill shield (even another homunculus) for summoning.

and FAR cheaper than [email protected] and CoA.

one great thing about summon necros is that with cheap gear (or even no gear and some playing skill) they are very survivable; it's nice to have twink gear when you're ubering to make things easier, but it's also nice to pile on 500MF and still tear through anything in Hell, finding gear for all of your other chars =)

if price is no object .. do wutchyalike. =)
