Despite whatever anyone tells u... The best necromancers are the ones who can boost them with negative channel energy. The reason is so simple... In a single channel you aid ur army of necro AND hurt ur enemies at the same time. Negative channels also allow for possibility of u taking over large quantities of enemy undead with a feat tax. I don't thi I I've ever seen a necromancer that was top quality without at least bare bones negative channel abilities.
To further my arguement a bit more i submit a dhampir for ur race. Now in addition to animating an army and using the above strategy you can also heal urself of ur damage. So if u had any fears of being the front Man U can lose them as now ur healing urself on top of healing ur army and dealing damage to enemy. The action economy here is very good.
Making this idea even more stupid powerful lets have this same necromancer take summoning feats. Now we summon a handful of monsters on top ur animated army. Perfectly legal but as long as u can keep up with the paperwork and stay fast in play no one has a legit gripe.
Alternatively just grab animal domain and spend one feat for a Character level animal companion to aid u in battle. As for the channel itself grab rulership portfolio or protection domain. Rulership to daze lock and protection to give ur army more AC while lowering ur enemies :) if u like summons with a very few POWERFUL undead, go evangelist so u can boost both.
In my honest opinion this strategy for necromancer gives even a master summoner a hard time. The action economy of having potentially 10 characters for u to control at any given time and u boosting some or all of em means u r a BEAST.
Final note, grab a reach weapon and don't look back. U dont need to have much strength and u don't need combat reflexes. When u got things under control just help out a little in the clean up and the fact ur reaching means ur survivability goes up another notch (a trait some necromancers don't have).
Edit: ultimately I believe...
Wow, that was painful to read. Normally, I wouldn't post something like this, but your grammar and spelling are atrocious. Please, please, please do not use "twitter speak" in anything you post, it makes it difficult to read, and makes you seem less intelligent. I'm not trying to insult you, I'm trying to help you. Writing as you did smacks of laziness, and you should hold yourself to a higher standard.
