Pale Master 12/? for negative melee/support

[Foxmoon]

I'm considering a melee/support caster based around Pale Master and lich form (I won't lie...the look is a big part of my motivation here).

I'd use Necrotic Touch as a primary means of damage dealing (since its damage is based around overall level and not caster level).

I know Pale Master is borked at the moment, but I'm hoping the multi can mitigate some of those issues until they fix it in the next release (fingers crossed). I'm a slow leveler so even if it takes them 6 months or more to fix PM I don't see it being a big issue for me.

Here are the multi possibilities I'm considering:

Wiz 12/Cleric 8 (or FvS) - for the self healing (with positive/negative spells), plus life enhancements help necrotic touch damage (or so I have heard).
Wiz 12/Monk 8 - for the unarmed synergy with touch spells and the utility (I've never tried a monk so someone help me out here).
Wiz 12/Rogue 8 - for sneak attack and a good base of skills.

I'm a casual player, not a hardcore raider or anything. So I am often solo or PUGGING.

Any thoughts on these or other combos?

The main draw of the lich form, imo, is the boost to necromancy DC's. By multiclassing that heavily you don't take advantage of that. If you want to use lich form I would recommend staying pure caster and maximize your DCs. A lich form melee build will likely run into healing issues.

I considered turning Gemstone into a Pale Master, until I realized he does more damage with his weapons while still being able to heal himself in the heat of battle.

Wraith form would also be a possibility (again for looks as much as anything).

With Rogue, I was thinking the Assassin's Soulshatter might be a nice synergy with this.

No, Assassin Soulshatter has no synergy with anything.

Here's a suggestion to fix Soulshatter, which you could read to find background info on why it is so bad:
