Default Any point to having necro primary?

I dont play necro much, but what I have seen from browsing is that the necro has no skills that get better from Soul Reaping attributes...so that lead me to this question: Is there actually any point to having a necromancer primary?

Yes, the energy gain from soul reaping is nice, but without minions dieing all the time, is there really a point to having sould reaping as your primary attribute?

Wouldnt it be better If you spent that primary attribute on something like fast casting or energy storage?

Unless of course you are only using necro primary for the armor...

Just my thoughts,

Soul Reaping is a fine primary attribute -- in addition to rewarding you for being successful, it also helps you out when things start to go south and teammates start dropping. It's arguably less fantastic in PvP, but for PvE it's one of my very favorite primaries.

The other reason you want to be a primary Necro is for the runes, of course.

Minions. Soul Reaping + Superior Death, man, only way to go.

Mind you, a lot of the reason I did go Necromancer primary was armor (scars) and general look, but.. ;p

Are you serious? Necromancer skills generally cost 10 -15 energy+, with soul reaping, every monster killed can give you up to 16 energy back (with runes and such)........ Minions+death nova+ soul reap = yum. And as a necro you should be able to take stuff down fast enough to keep energy up. Thats my 2 cents, probably made myself look like an idiot.
