i made a poison/melee necro (more melee oriented) a while back and while i was playing my summoner i took a break from him. anyways hes now level 23 and almost finished with act three just needs heart/flail and then needs to kill mephy having been through act 4 on my summoner just a few days ago i realised that using poison to kill enemies will get me destroyed with poison immunes increasing in amount every act so my question is how do i level a poison necro?

I don't think you should have a problem if you have gear that has -poison resist to enemies...aka death web (-50 enemy resist)

also using LR curse helps you out with killing monsters who are poison immune

Gear-based -res has no effect on immunities. Lower Resist only works at 1/5 power vs immunities.

For poison immunes on a daggermancer (that's what I'm assuming poison/melee is supposed to be), you pretty much have these options:
-Revives/mercenary. Revives are mostly for tanking, but might be able to do workable damage. Leave them at 1 point, though;
-Physical damage on your weapon. Crushing blow, open wounds, and stuff like that are helpful.
-Corpse Explosion deals 50/50 fire/physical damage.
-You could also try other elemental damage (ort runes in weapon + tiamat shield), but I don't think you'll be able to get enough to be noticeable.
