Necromancer --- Overview

[exodus]

THANK YOU READERS and I want to thank those that reply even MORE.
I don't even own diablo yet lol but i will get soona nd i play it at my friends hosue, i find Necros pretty cool and I'm wodnering if someone could give the rundown of a good Necro to use online. Basically I know nothing. I don't know the types of Necros...I think they are Poison Necro, Bone Necro, and Summoning Necro. If so please tell me what each one is and what is good about it and bad. Also THIS IS MY MAIN QUESTION!!!!! ARE NECROS GOOD ONLINE IN YOU OPINION AND IN YOUR OPINION WHAT IS THE BEST NECRO OR MOST POWERFUL OR WHAT DO U RECOMEND TO BE. I heard summoning is crappy on online cuz he summons weak characters like crappy skeletons (Correct em if im wrong). :eek:

So I am only asking for a BRIEF OVERVIEW because I know you guys have lives and don't want to write me a whole page.

!!!!!IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTON PLEASE ANSWER MY HIGHLIGHTED (MAIN) QUESTION!!!!!

PS I Like Spells

You guys are helping me out a lot here

THX IN ADVANCE!!!!

I don't really know alot about the necros but summoners are the easiest to solo through hell with and are great for PvM play, but if dueling is what your looking for then bone is the way to go, poison neccys are good but require alot of hard to come by equipment to stand out.

i want to make a bone necromancer but i dont know how much points i shud put inot my things as i level up i figured none into energy cuz i have items and lots into viatlity, what shud i do for strength and for dexterity

i think poison necros can be awesome, especially for dueling. i have a psn necro myself. he uses deaths web bramble shako +3 pnb ammy homun marrow walks and trang gloves with 2x bk and arachs. he owns a lot of people in duels not just for his damages but for his - resistances. he casts more than -100 poison resist to enemies just from items and the curse lower resist. i also got 5 poison and bone (pnb) charms to increase his damage lol. also, bramble is kickass for psn necros, its a runeword that adds 25-50% poison skill damage. mine is 47. choose well on your necro man, poison necros are tough to get good. if u want to be good at dueling then u prob do bone but poison is sweet on dueling and vs. monsters except for poison immune monsters. but if u cast lower resist on most monsters the immunity goes away because you lowered their resistance on them and your -130 enemy resist will help too. good luck

whats a runeword? do soem runes have letters on them?
how do u write bramble
?

[Skarz]

lol you have a lot to learn exo. Runewords are when you take a combination of runes and a socketed item and put them together to make a specialty, or runeword. SOme are just pointless, but some of the runewords are very powerful and hard to get.

actually 'bramble' is glitched right now... can be 70-100+% (the +meaning even higher is possible) it'll probably be fixed soon but until then.. in my opinion the best setup for psnmancer is: 5/5 psn faceted shako; p maras; arachnid; 2x sojs; 5/5 psn faceted death's web; 5/5 faceted homunculus; silkweave; trangs gloves; and as high as possible % bramble... w/maxed psn nova; psn xplosion; psn dagger; lower res... thats pvp... but for pvm i use trangs shield+belt+gloves for the shields -25% enemy psn res and the fire skills... w/maxed lower res and all the skills u can actually use firewall to kill psn immunes (faster than u might think too...) and the belt really isn't that bad... can't be frozen..(nice def not that it matters) life mana etc etc....
