Also, the most expensive rune is Io which is not that tough to get... NM countess runs should get you a few Io runes if you do them often... If it was me... I would just make it in a wand you thought was good... and if you find a better one later... make a better one! 
You can always trade the one your not using i'm sure....

True... only hard points work for synergies.... but bonewall, sprit, spear, armor... they are all synergies for each other and all very useful not just for their synergies Man.... come to think about it... bone necros get good use out of all their synergies used as regular spells too!... so they don't have waste points on useless junk for the sole purpose of synergies!

no there is a better way
To save yourself some skill points make a white wand out of a 2 socket wand with mods that aren't bone skills.
This to me seems more useful, instead of wasting a bunch of points to get curses like decrep or LR. Find a wand that has +1 decrepify and +1 revive, you be suprised to see how much this lil baby will help you lvl. Meat shields are always a plus especially in hell, and a free curse...Hiyo! :idea:
The best plave to find one of these gems is in Normal, act 2 drognan. Look at all his wands. You may find a wand with the mods that you want, but no sockets. Simple fix there, use a socket quest...duh :scratch:
Plus if you spawn the right map it makes it easy for drognan to re-spawn new wands everytime to walk out of town and back.
Keep in mind white is basically worthless after lvl 50-60 IMO.
I'm sorry but i need more fcr than 20%. May be a godly white if you have +3 to armour, wall, spirit, spear, teeth. but the odds of that are well... you may as well go buy a lottery ticket...

Yeah I'd agree that a better choice would be +3 bone skill o' choice-smething else for the other possible 2 choices some good ones would be:
Attract (+3 to Dim or confuse wouldn't be enough for NM+), Clay Golem (especialy if it also comes with Golem mastery), Decrept, CE, and Bone Armor.
Alot would depend of course on what other skills you got. But considering synergy bonuses wouldn't apply I think I'd want a gumby if you haven't put any points into one.

i was dueling a bone necro other day, he had over 125 cast rate using enigma, with white wand, necro circler, necro amulet and trangs gloves and arachnid mesh, and that ladde ronly necro shield. forgot its name now. and he used marrows i guess for marrow bug, and he had really high bone spear damage with wand, he was godly, his only weakness was to a light trapper which was me, but even i had so much trouble keepiong track of him as he was all over the place with fcr, by pure trap luck i won against him, but his build made me tempted to make a bone necro.as he practically beat 99 out of 100 duelers.
what i would really like to get is a +3 bone spear, +3 bone spirit and +1 lower resist wand of course 2 socketed. i will keep on looking at drognans shop on nightmare i guess or hit the trade channel. and yes i have mani io and dols so all im looking for is the right wand to socket.

Lower Resist is a good curse to use to boost CE damage when dealing with PIs. Using AD would only reduce physical resistance to 80% on a PI at best while a level 1 LR will reduce fire resistance by 31% (and hence boost damage by at least that amount) and any Plus skills or Plus curses will add to the LR and at level 5 LR gives a useful -47% resist all. Lower Resist is also good if you party with Sorcs and other players that do elemental damge.darnocpdx said:
I think Hypnectic has got it just about right here. It is always good to pick a wand with staff mods that give skills with several prequisites that you won't be using such as LR, Attract, Decrepify or Revive for the maximum saving in skills. It is also good to pick a wand that boosts the main attack skill.Hypnectic said:
So I think the best White wand for a bonemancer would be +3 Bone Spear, + Lower Resist, + Revive... boosting the main skill and saving lots of skill points.
Depends on the situation
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +3 Teeth if you like to duel with good manners
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +1-3 Decrepify if you want to make your opponents move like snails
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +1-3 Revive (would amount to 15-18 Revives, if you like to duel that way ^^)
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +3 Teeth if you like to duel with good manners
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +1-3 Decrepify if you want to make your opponents move like snails
+3 Bone Spirit, +3 Bone Spear, +1-3 Revive (would amount to 15-18 Revives, if you like to duel that way ^^)

Amp is much better than lower resist for CE.
The amp remove pi and LR doesn't always remove immunities... the physical damage will kill faster than the fire skill anyway.
I personally think that once one body is dropped, amp and CE spam... if you aren't getting dead bodies around everywhere with that then you might wait to cast spear a few more times then start the fireworks.
There's my 2 cents.

3 spear/teeth/spirit is not possible. since skills can't spawn more than 3 lvls apart... unless bnet has secretly been rewriting the game code....
Best wand I've seen is +3 spear, and 2 decrep. but any +3 spear wand is acceptable for white IMO
:scratch: I wasn't talking about the removing immunities aspect that is not relevant.Peacrusher said:
I specifically said against a PI monster when it is better to use LR to maximise the damage done by the fire component of CE rather than try to gain a smaller amount of physical damage breaking the immunity with AD. However, it is a small matter and I am a perfectionist... using AD will work nearly as well for you in 95% of cases. Occassionally you'll meet a hard PI that AD can't break and then LR is definitely better, but of course if you have a strong Bone Spear a single PI is no problem anyway unless it is also magic immune.
Make sure that you ONLY pick Bone Wands from Drognan to socket, since they are the only wands that he sells that can get 2 sockets. In fact, those are the only ones you want to even look at while shopping... the Yew Wands and Wands will only tease you since they can only have a max of 1 socket...Hypnectic said:
And you don't need to use the socket quest, use the cube recipie of 1 RAL + 1 AMN + 1 P. Amethyst + weapon. That gives you a 5/6 chance at 2 sockets and saves a socket quest. Just make sure you use a normal version of the weapon and not low or superior...
Hm what's that mean... that Blizzard made it so that wands can't spawn with a certain amount of skills in between it?... or something like that
I know I have a +3 spear, +3 skeleton mastery, +3 golem mastery white wand... so why is it that it can't spawn with teeth, spear, and spirit? I'm confused thanks
