Am I playing my new Necro correctly?

I just started a Necro for the first time 3 days ago (had only played Warrior, Rogue and Sorcerer before), and a few minutes ago I beat normal difficulty at $Player 10.
Basically, if Necro is your first character, you are going to struggle. A lot.
But if you are willing to, I would suggest you play Rogue, beat the whole game, and then you'll have all gear necessary to be strong with a Necro from the very start.
I beat ALL levels with Chain Lightning from my Arcanna's Trick set (just like someone else mentioned above here somewhere). Diablo I killed in 30 seconds by spamming Guardians. Didn't even have to use all potions in my belt.

So, basically, you are not really doing anything "wrong". You'll just have to level up some more and find better melee gear if you want Necro to be your first Char.
