Pale Master Builds?

[Bedelguese]

Just bought the game, and I'm already addicted. However I was hoping to get some advice from anyone who feels like they want to give it.

I'm trying to go for a heavy armor necromancer feel, my main aim is to be able to hold my own in combat with heavy armor so that my summoned undead minions can pepper them from range while also dealing out decent damage with my scythe (or at least just making sure that most of my blows actually land on point as a hit). I was going to go for the "Undead Lord" build and tweak it for my scythe using needs but I keep seeing comments saying that you have an extremely hard time hitting, but I can't seem to find any other builds for the Pale Master class.

If anybody has any ideas, or they've got a bada$$ Pale Master or knows a link to decent builds of them that'd be awesome.

barbarian (28) / bard (2) / pale master (10) or Barbarian 20 ,Bard 2, PM 18 with epic mage armor ,obiviously ...str. based.
A classic built on many action server.
However, if we are talking about single player depend on the level that can be reached, the higher it is (max is 40), the more this build expresses its full potential.

first 20 levels as Barbarians (full BAB) ,then 2 or 4 lvl by Bard to unlock the pale master.

I'm building Wizard 5/Pale Master 20/Loremaster 5 on multiplayer Arelith - Surface serrver. So far he's Wizard 3/Palemaster 7 but he's pretty deadly. I took Expertise and soon Improved Expertise combined with Mage Armor to keep my AC around 30. I use buff sprells to beef up my undead and they destroy everything. Use negative energy ray to heal them too. It's a lot of fun.
