drt1245's Bone Necro Guide

80%FCR is pointless, and it seems that your build will be lacking on FHR as well. Low FCR and low FHR = bone nec loses his purpose, anyone with even a little skill can own you in a duel, not even speaking of duels in which you have the char disadvantage.

I disagree on the FCR. I find 80 to be fine, I do just fine it duels. And as far as FHR, your build only has 20 more from items, and that requires either a magic circlet or another mod to spawn on a rare one, which in my experience, are much harder to find. That said, if you can get one, I agree, the extra 20 FHR is very helpful.

Don't forget the possibility of using Spirit/Stormshield, both can be very effective on a bone nec.

The only reason I see to use Stormshield would be for DR (and some extra defence), and I have never felt the need for DR on a bone Necro because of his bone armor. If it runs out, you can just recast.

I was under the impression that you were limited to 10 FCR on an amulet, and the Arreat Summit agrees with me. However, I cannot remember if they were availible in an earlier patch or not.

VS casters use White instead of HOTO and Spirit instead of Stormshield for massive damage.

With this setup, your FCR ring uses it's effectiveness, you'd be better with another SOJ. And besides, why use Spirit over a 3 PnB Darkforce Spawn?


With your build, I see a massive loss in skills, as well. If I counted correctly, you lose 3 to all PnB skills, and an additional 6 to Bone Spear.
