Bit of advise needed

I'm a bit in doubt what to do with my fishymancer in the future (regarding skills)
He's lvl 61 now and basicly has all the skills needed, (max skeleton/mastery/5 CE/5 summon resist; base points of course) I think i can reasonably expect him to become lvl 85 or something, so with the quest rewards from hell included that will give me about 28 skill points to allocate.

Would it be worth maxing poison nova and putting a few points in its synergies
Should i max bonespear or bonespirit and a few in its synergies.
Or should i forget it all, put more points in CE en SR and do what i want with the few remaining.
Or something else entirely? :scratch:

Any input would be most welcome :thumbsup:

I think it depends on your playstyle and what you are hoping to do. I like 10 in CE and having Clay Golem to help slow, he is slow but you can resummon him next to big mobs and it makes them almost seem like you put them on pause.

I would max CE to maximize your killing power. That will leave 13 points unassigned. Those I would put in Clay Golem and Golem Mastery if you are going to do boss runs with him (lvl 16 Clay Golem with +skills is very good, rest in Golem Mastery, that with MF gear of course. CG will slow Baal enough, you can use Amp instead of Decrep). If you don't want to MF with him, get Revive to get more very durable tanks

I suggest the following:

5-/+ into Revive

1+ into Lower Rez curse (unless u prefer another curse)

16 into Clay Golem (as LprMan said)

Depending on how many skill pts you used in the +/- put the rest into golem mastery

Wouldn't it be good to have a wide-area Amp Damage or Decrepify or something to give your minions more of a punch? (I'm asking this as a person who's just starting out with his skellimancer; now in A2 Normal.)

Why would i want to use lower res? i don't have anything with elemental dam. I don't have much experience with necro's but lower res seems a bit pointless to me here.. or not? :scratch:

I agree with maxing out corpse explosion, the extra range will help out.

As for the rest of the points, it depends if you want to add points into bone armor (you can wear the marrowalk boots for the syngery to bone armor as long as you do not have any points into bone armor).

However, I added more points into clay golem and its mastery for a better golem, to help slow down boss and uniques.

CE is 50/50 physical/fire damage

Hm i see, but then in most cases amplify will do the job as well, only for phys imm would it be usefull but amplify can break that down too, still one point in it for certain situations might not hurt then

Yes, one point won't hurt. Too bad I didn't know this when I build my fishy, he doesn't have LR. Sometimes I meet a random boss I can't kill (mainly vampires/frenzytaurs in WSK with stoneskin mod)

Hm that doesn't sound very handy, already put a point in it now Si i guess i'll go spend some more points in CE and my golem then, pity, i would have liked to be able to spam some poison nova or something that would actually be effective but apperantly i missed some things then
thx for the input all :thumbsup:
