Bone Nec quick question

i just have a few fast (i hope so) questions about pvp bone necro. can you help me pls ?

1. Should i go max vita or max block ? //somewhere on this forum i saw a massege, when someone told, that every bone nec go max vita cause max block is just bad (only good vs barb) (sorry for my english)
2. skills. is this how boner should look like? MAX b.spear, spirit, wall, prison, teeth ONE: b.armor, clay golem, golem mastery (and summon resist if ill get so high lv)
3. equip. what is in your opinion best equip overall (vs anything :) ) ?
4. str - if i can't afford eni... should i invest some in str ? or maybe i can make that with +20str ring/rings, torch, anni, items/charms ? ...or just invest some in str to be able to change my equip every time i like ?

thank you.

1) max block all the way, there might be an exception when you only duel casters though ^^
2) Max: Spirit/Spear/Teeth/Prison/Wall. On my nec i put 1 in clay/mastery, and the rest in Raise Skeleton/Mastery
3) go to the Necromancer forums and digg a few pages back, all you need to know is in there.
4) If youre going max block, you'll need all the life you can get, so basicly anything you can get from rings/ammy/torch/anni is great.

EDIT: If you can't afford Enigma, dont go use the summons then.

thank you Rabbitz.
in Soulesschild's guide i can read Homun is the best shield for nec. But after searching this forum i see everyone use SS/Spirit. What do you think about it ? :)

can you help me with equip please ? I can find a lot of great gears for bone nec, but every gear have eni. what is i dont use one ? :)

and one more question... what NON-ENI-BONE-NEC can really beat ?

homnculus is imo the best all around shield, but SS is the best anti-meele shield (cause of high dr and block)

And if you cant afford enigma then i would forget about pvp nec lol, youll be easy target for almost everything

Non-Eni bone-necs wont beat alot ;/ but you can do some damage to most though.

Lots of melee without tele = dead melee
Dont hope on alot of caster kills, but the occasional lightsorc or <105%fcr sorc will perish :D

since you dont have teleport, get the stormshield since you will be a sitting duck for most ;/, and all the skills you've got left you better place them in either ur bone armor or curses (decrep)

Spirit(shield) is only used as a prebuff with Call To Arms, and if you cant afford eni now, cta is out of youre league aswell i think ;/

versus casters only, but it requires 156 str which is a problem without enigma...It is a shame some people can't afford enigma because it makes all the difference. You will hurt people of course (spirits cannot be absorbed and can hardly be resisted but it will be tough - people will win vs you just because they have tele)...

Anyway, good luck and make sure you get enigma :thumbsup: Many things can be replaced where you lose some dmg or versatility - sadly enigma is not one of them...

edit
on an non-enigma build I would use non upped homunculus only

Actually spirit shield for a few caster duels where you do not need to stack may be better then homo. I.E. Necro vs necro. The 35% FCR can help you switch out a few FHR charms & sub in a white wand, etc. yet FHR may sorta be a mute issue for the necro vs necro duel anyway.

Homo is a great all around shield yet I would favor ss/spirit over it.

Soulless's guide is sorta old before grief came out I think and without block barbs will just plain out own you IMO so go max block and then try and work out your other items to get to the 125% FCR/Max block/86% FHR breakpoint and also max resists with stacking at least 30 deep. Put a couple monarch shields in inv. 4 perf saphire & 4 perf topaz for cold and lightning stacking and maybe keep 9 small 10-11% cold resist charms for that added help against the godly - cold that all those pesky cold sorcy's have.

Also do not overlook whizzy, It is cheap and overlooked for a weapon and with a 15% res jewel it can be a great help.
