Hey guys, my PC gave up on me, hence the late reply.
@Mr. Mellow:
Storm, like someone said before is for max DR%. You don't get that from Darkforce.
As in for White, depends on what you do a lot. Most NvN duels are Bone Spear only, which is also good for taking down Windies. You need Bone Spirit against BvCs.
I chose Bone Armor instead of Bone Prison because safety > damage in PvP. Then again, it's been a long time since I last played and I may be wrong on that distribution. Bone Armor is your only defense from barbs, etc.
If you are losing life quickly, it's because you don't have enough +4x lifers and resistances. Resists are a pain to get on necs, that's why you need a bunch of 5%/5@ SCs. Also, when dueling fire sorcs, you will be using Spirit, which lacks fire resist, so I'd recommend have a few 20 life / 11% fire or 5%/11 fire in stash. 75% fire resist goes a long way. If you can, use a Dwarf Star as well, but make sure you don't lost your breakpoints.
Also, in order for your necros to kick ass, you really need top notch gear. I know a few necros with 4k+ hp and they are extremely difficult to take down.
@Tweak293:
I'm glad you enjoyed this build. You will be running from barbs a lot, they hit pretty hard, especially if you don't have +4x lifers (which pretty much make a necro). My advice is just to use the full DR% set against them and don't forget to summon Clay Golem to slow them down. It goes a long way. If you manage to get hold of 4x lifers, your necro will be unstoppable. For now, just stay far away from BvC's, systematically spam a lot of Bone Spirits and desynch them so they become invisible. Watch out for namelock. If you don't have high life, this duel can be very frustrating.
Not sure when I can come online again, but post all comments and feedback that you have.
