PLEASE POST A GOOD PvP Necro Build Guide. Thanks

I don't have time to go through the skills right now, bump the thread and I'll add them in later.

Stats:
STR: enough for gear
DEX: max block, if you decide to go for it, if not, none.
VIT: rest
ENE: none

Max block is up to you. Without it you will get it tough from Amazons (even though they can still be beaten quite easily) and barbs. However, I've found that even though barbs are hard, you can still take them on without max block.

So hokay:
Helm: Magical Circlet +3 PnB 20%FCR 2 sockets Shael Shael
Weapon: White Wand +8 Spirit or Spear
Armor: Enigma MP
Shield: Storm Ber
Belt: Arach
Gloves: Trang's
Boots: Treks
Amu: +2 Nec 20%FCR +mods (20%FCR is vital, yes they are very expensive, but so are all PvP chars)
Ring1: FCR ring with mods, i.e. +STR +life +mana
Ring2: SoJ

Inv: Torch, anni, 9xPnB lifers, 6x5%FHR/+5@ SCs
This setup you will use against BvCs, Smiters, Bowzons, Windies, pretty much anything that deals physical damage. Vs. Casters, you will have to change a little

Helm: Shako Jah
Weapon: HOTO
Shield: Spirit Monarch +35%FCR
Gloves: Trang's
Rings: BOTH SoJs

Both setups gives you 125%FCR and 86%FHR which any self-respectable Bonemancer will have. 2nd set has a little more damage, while sacrificing most of your DR (since it's not needed vs. Casters) and it also has more life and mana (which you consume quite fast). I may have omitted something, so feel free to make any comments.

Thanks. This is a good guide man. I cant wait till I get this build up and running. Although, its going to take a while to get the SoJ and stuff as I am pretty poor lol. Anyway, thanks for the guide!

My advice would be to level a char (properly skilled and statted) to a high level. This is one of the easiest ways of making money, just consistently playing the game. I would definately not make a half-assed PvP character, they simply suck, so hoard some funds together first and then make a PvP char.

[Tweak293]

Well, I always seem to screw my chars up woth the stats. The skills and what not I have covered. But the stats are where I usually mess up at.

[Mr Mellow]

"Sorry for reopening this thred again after awhile"
But Frater, think you could right up a little more feedback on the gear/stats/skills you are saying please?

[FraterPerdurabo]

Erm, as far as I can see, the stats and gear are all there, besides the skill distributions. I don't see what else could be confusing.

As in for skills:
1 in Amplify Damage
1 in Clay Golem
20 Bone Spirit
20 Bone Spear
20 Teeth
20 Bone Wall
20 Bone Armor
rest into Bone Prison

If you want Decrepify, get it off your White wand, same for other skills.

Specify what exactly you need and I'll try to reply.

[Mr Mellow]

Thanks for replying, why put 20 into bone armor and not 20 into bone prison?
Also why use SS(ber) instead of Darkforce?
And what would you think is best for the white 8 bone spear or 8 bone spirit?

I guess what im saying is more depth on the gear and why. Also the 20 points into BA instead of BP.

Thanks again.

[Tweak293]

Great build!!! It's f*cking excellent. I just finished it, although I seem to find myself running from barbs alot blank:. Other than that this build pretty much owns.

Well, thanks to some pretty generous people and lots of time on my hands I mf'd ALOT and traded a helluvalot. but other than that this build is great, thanks once again mate!

You want to use SS(ber) cause you want to tank those barbs thats gonna come after you and have a decent amount of DR. come on the gear choice he made is totally relevant and doesnt need to go more in depth hrmm and yes i would like to ask that question too why 20 in Bone Armor before Prison?

[Mr Mellow]

Well i know that the 20 into bone armor with the 20 into bone wall and the points into bone prison + all the other skills to them...
You will absorb uber melee dmg with that. On the other hand you will do much greater dmg getting bone prison over bone armor.
I guess it has to do with a self choice almost. Or what you are fighting.
But that comes down to some gear also.
So you would have to have some multi gear in stash.
I wanted to use mainly casting with tele and the bone spirit. Cuz once you get hit your mostly going to die or be left with 20-150 hp anyway.
Idk i guess lets wait and see what he answers if he does.

[FraterPerdurabo]

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.

[Mr Mellow]

I can understand that.
Ill go with the B Armor.
Hmm its really hard to choose what for white...
I was going to for points get 1 amp and 1 iron maid, Use the maid for the melee chars
And on the white i was going to get a mod with dec curse for them casters
The only prob is... Go B spear or B spirit???!?!??!?!? ahhh
I guess i need to know more on the sheild use.. I know SS or darkforce, i can get a perf darkforce.
What do you think?

[FraterPerdurabo]

Darkforce is a waste of time and effort.

[Mr Mellow]

I already have a perf darkforce and a 2/20/40 helm with life/mana
How about the White? What is the best "all around white" b Spear or b Spirit?

[Espada]

if possible both but id go with spirit

[Mr Mellow]

Why go spirit? If you got a perf darkforce, its 3 to all skills and has FCR "same"
Do you mean for casters?
Cuz im using darkforce for Melee

So far my only troubles are, Fire Sorc(almost going to fix), FC Javazons... "UGH" and also sometimes FoHers, but they have to be GFG.
The hardest by far is Fire Sorc due to the lack of resist in fire.....
Good Light resist, just fast attacking and lack of FHR "GOING TO BE FIXED THOUGH"

[Espada]

then carry 2 whites 1 on you and 1 in stash or both in stash and hold a hoto XD

[Mr Mellow]

Hoto.... Ugh... i knew that one was comen, its cool but... JUST LOOK AT THE WHITE! lol

Im doing fine with the one i have now... I win like 90% of the time on every thing but what i said, now i win 80% of the time to a fire sorc and 70% of the time to FoH and FC zons... well... about 60% of the time

I never have trouble with the melee chars... since i pop a iron maiden lol...
they just get destroyed and then i burst some bone spirits around for the jumping barbs lol... Pretty much its a GG build cuz im not using like pnb gcs with 30+ life then it would be GFG lol, cuz most the stuff im using is GFG, PERF i mean..

But the only prob is the white... ... .. .. . . . .. . . .(period)
