Poison Necroholic in the making.

[eggbawx]

Hi necroholic's and others alike.
I'm planning on making a poison necro as my first hardcore character. He will played in a party most of the time and so poison immunes won't be much of a problem, well atleast when one comes along it gives me a few minutes to sit back and spectate. Anyhoo, the following layout is how I plan my necro build to look like:

Main Skills
- 20 Poison Dagger
- 20 Poison Explosion
- 20 Poison Nova
- 1 in pereq's

Curses
- 5 Lower Resist
- 1 in pereq's

Summons:
- 1 Fire Golem
- 5 Golem Mastery
- 1 in pereq's

With the above skill allocation, my necro will be complete at level 82 (not including extra skill from quests) My question is this, is a fire golem a viable choice for pvm team play?
I was thinking that, because I will be in a party most of the time, skellies would cause lag to a number of players with poor connections and lag does kill. However, fire golem seems, to me, a valuable party player. He could gather all the creeps together and thus allowing me to make great use of my poison skills. Also many other party members, depending on their skills could greatly benefit from my fire golem.

My equipment is un-decided yet, because I will be playing no twinkly ding. However, once my stash is up and running I will most likely be trading for full trang's and such. So, sooner or later, I will have my hands on most, if not all the trangs set pieces.

So, basically there you have it! My soon to be poison necro, once I have obtained enough information to decide whether my fire golem is a good choice and whether or not my skill allocation is good in general.

Not bad for a third post, eh?

Respeto,

hmm if no one replys to my topic then i might be following this guide because its the only one i could find......someone plz reply if this worked good for them? and also i think the clay golem is the best if u get it and mastery because with 60k life its a tank, and the monsters will attack it and that gives u time for ur poison using, but nywayz someone reply to this

[eggbawx]

@stefan575
This isn't really a guide as such. Just a template of (what I think is) a viable poison necro. I suppose you could use my build idea for your character because I personally think it is a solid build for pvm. However, before I venture into the world of diablo I need some suggestions/feedback on my skill allocation.

Respeto,

Sorry for this double post, but although clay golem may have good life and probably a more "solid" tank than the fire golem in terms of life. I chose fire golem because of hes ability to attract enemys to him with his aura, thus giving you great advantages when utilizing your poison skills.

Just a thought,

Hey egg give me a couple of minutes and i will test this build out

----so far with no items on poison explosion is doing over 8k dmg

[eggbawx]

@AcryllicAvenger
Will do.

*Waits patiently for the test to be completed and the confirmation has been given.*

[AcryllicAvenger]

OK i am gonna give him full trangs now

[eggbawx]

Hey don't spoil him too much. You don't want him to take things for granted.

[AcryllicAvenger]

heh he likes trangs. 18k poison explosion. 10k poison dagger. and 3.4k poison nova. Fire golem not very good. And i havent used lower resists yet

[eggbawx]

Thats very nice damage and with lower resist at high levels with the +skills from the set I can see the poison damage easily going into the 20's. Regarding the fire golem, as long has he attracts the monsters towards him for a short period of time while I utilize my poison skills that is all I need him for. I guess extra skills points in golem mastery would help him abit.

[AcryllicAvenger]

I am going to spoil him now and give him 10 PnB Gcs and Anni plus blackbogs dagger, which has lots of nice stats for a poison necro


----WOW With these on he gives MEGA DMG. 60k posion explosion. 30k poison dagger and 7.4k nova dmg

[eggbawx]

Anyhoo, thanks for the help - I really appreciate it. It wouldn't surprise me if most (if not all) necro players order one of these for christmas.

Oh well, it's just gone 00:41 (12:41) here so I think I'll call it a day.

Figured out who to post an attachment. (I hope)


here is necro

[Kahashi]

I think Death's Web would be better for Poison Necro. Here's the stats:

One-Hand Damage: 22 To 28 (25 Avg)
Required Level: 66
Required Strength: 25
Durability: 18
Base Weapon Speed: [0]
+50% Damage To Undead
-40-50% To Enemy Poison Resistance (varies)
+7-12 To Mana After Each Kill (varies)
+7-12 Life After Each Kill (varies)
+2 To All Skills
+1-2 To Poison And Bone Skills (Necromancer Only) (varies)
(Only Spawns In Patch 1.10 or later)

With psn facets inserted into items...The psn dmg will even be greater...

[AcryllicAvenger]

ya it would be. You should alter it in Hero Editor and tell us how it works out

--- It increases dmg alot if you insert Perf psn facets in armor wep sheild and helm and deaths web is not as good for this guy as BlackBog's. You do more dmg with BlackBogs euqipped

[A|fzZz]

if trangs items have as many sockets as gris...man...and if u insert all perf psn facets...wonder what will the psn dmg be...

[Kahashi]

Perfect Bramble is nice for a poison necro also.

@AcryllicAvenger
Sorry if I sound like a noob and I probably do but what program do you use to test characters out with?

Respeto,

[etanol]

Get character editor and make your character in open, with the stats/skills/items you have in closed.

My poison necro is using Bramble and Death's Web, with perfect poison facet. I haven't played with him for a while, so he doesn't have anything else on.

Not a problem. I use the Hero Editor that i got froom this site in conjunction with the full item vault i also got form this site. I make the chars with the editor then test them in a single player game. hero Editor also known as Zonfire v.80
