Bonemancer for MF?

[MYK]

I would make it easy. I'd use the super necro pwn setup.
Wizzy + PDiamond Homunculus + Trang Oul's Claw + FCR/Mana ring.

Throw on Harlequin Crest, Skullder's, or your MF armor of choice. After that, use whatever belt, boots, rings and amulet you want. Not hitting super levels of MF, but your res is maxed and you've got some +skills to play with. CE is your room killer for sure.

You'll be more friendly than a lagomancer on SC, and nobody in HC will ever want to play with you.

I've recently made a pure bonemancer and I despise him. He's wearing:

8 bone spear white
shako
enigma
arachs
spirit shield
nice 10fcr +2skills ammy
fcr rings

His bonespear does about 3600 damage. Enemies do die, but they die very slowly compared to my other characters. For example, I have a fully decked out summon necro that can kill 10 times faster than my bonemancer. He's one of those that can kill baal in 30 sec (merc with crushing blow). I really regret making this crappy build, and I don't think bonemancers are good mfers compared the other options you have in D2.

I'd never thought I'd say this: but i'd rather mf with a hammerdin >.<

Yeah, it's not quite the power build in PvM. It's not bad, though. You get bone armor and all the tanking you'd ever want with bone wall.

The only thing I don't like is that you spend 80 points beefing up this spell and it doesn't kill like an 80 point skill. The one point +adders in CE is way more powerful with just that one point placed.

One thing to think about, no other necro will have an easier time in the maggot lair...

My thoughts exactly.
