making a necro in 1.10

[Mr_Nigel]

ok so far in 1.10 i have built a 77 barb a 76 amazon and a 74 sorce. Now im starting a necro. this is all on a lan with a bunch of people i know. i'm not quit sure exactly what skills invest into. i have lots saved up and im at lvl 20. i have my pre req pretty much figured out but will i get my ass beat in hell mode act 2 3 4 5 if i'm not careful with my skillz? some ideas please.

[trayne]

since its on lan (tcp/ip) let me know. i can help you with items. try basing your skills on poison and summoning with some base skills.
I built mine around bonewall, poison nova, iron golem, iron maiden and amplify damage with poison explosion.

wht about bone spear its pretty good when its lvl 20 becasue does 7% to magic damage on lvl 1

[trayne]

sometimes good. i usually use bone spirit since the synergie bonuses are helpful. i've been working on a geddon druid but he ended up with a lvl 99 poison nova :/

Man necros piss me off now lol. I get killed by them. the first time was because the lil guy caught me off gaurd. the second was when i realized I need to start using my necro, they own. But I kinda messed up and didnt put any skills into bonewall, I'll have to do that soon. hes level 66 and has 585 health. I like him hes a tank for his level.

[trayne]

doesnt take much to counter a necro now a days. then again it doesnt take much to make a necro either.

necro can kill godly chars with 2 moves iron madian on 22 and bone prision wht ever lvl u want

[SoulHealer]

i have a doubt, when you use a item for summoning an iron gollem, the gollem takes the attribs of the item, what if you use and indestructible item for summoning the gollem? it becomes indestructible too?

[Gaz_321]

the best skills for legit necro (i find) is max bone spirit (and as many as u can that giv it bonuses) and max bone prison, and maybe put some on slow curse.

these together own in pvp as u trap the enemy and just shoot em with spirit. enigma is very useful with 1 of these pvp necros as u can tele out of danger

doesnt work against a sorceress or an assassin. doesnt work well against a barb or a druid and not much at all against a zon.

Sorceress: teleport, ice orb
Assassin: dragonflight, Traps, Summoning
Barb: leap, berserk
Druid: armegeddon, hurricane, all summonings, any element attack
Zon: any missile attack

sorta true but bone spear does more damage on occasion and is faster attack. A glitch in the game is if you're struck when teleporting or reforming after a teleport, you get 2x-10x damage. Bramble might be good for you too since the glitch on it adds 90-110% to poison damage plus casts thorns when equipped.

No. If you use an indestructible item he doesnt become indestructible. the golem only takes the damage attributes of an item. not exactly all the attributes.

[Mr_Nigel]

so i take it bone spirit is a must and some form of bone spell or poison nova will help, along with some form of summoning and curses.

[trayne]

bramble works well since it adds to poison skills, crown of ages works well if you use facet jewels. some people dont like confuse but it works good if you're dealing with cows and amp damage against pvp, bosses, prime evils. Arm of leoric is very useful for the skills you want to work with.

[Gaz_321]

dont need summoning at all, but some curses r useful.

[trayne]

summoning comes in handy. bone prison to capture them and iron maiden to hurt them when they try to get free. if they refuse to escape, cast a golem in the prison with them.

[Gaz_321]

hehe i just prison em and shoot em wid bon spear or spirit

[trayne]

doesnt work most of the time since they have magic resistance and absorb

[Gaz_321]

i aint found ne1 yet wid magic resistance or absorb (im on about legit btw)

[trayne]

saracens chance has a hidden magic absorb on it.
