Diary of a Deadman
So I recently started a Necromancer, sort of a side project from my IK barb, which i have become frustrated with due to the.... lack of IK armour. Shaftstop is a great substitute, dont get me wrong, but the full set.... ahhhh....
Anyway, I digress.
My necro brief to myself ran something like this..
1 Had to be fun
2 Visually Spectacular
3 Not so many minions
4 not for MFing or anything like that, pure play character
So I decided to go with a boney-bomb-o-mancer, as i like to call him. His main skills are CE, BSpear (at the mo, still below lvl 30) which will then be BSpirit, Poison Nova. Curses are subverting ones, Confuse, and Attract, to keep them off my back, since I wont have many minions( though I percieve this as a possible problem in higher difficulties). A high bone wall would perhaps be useful, but this takes skill points from my offensive spells, but keeps me alive. A balance....
Another consideration is that this necromancer will be playing in a team eventually, with an Avenger pala and a Bowazon. But not always....
Enough about skills.
So far playing with this necro has been a challenge and a half! With nothing to soak up the on rushing hordes, my sanders boots have saved my bacon more times than i can remember! But its fun... My battle to kill Izual by myself was pretty epic! I do like Bone Prison, which I invested a SP in. its handy, but I am not sure about long term use of this skill PvM, and sometimes some people can get irate when they get trapped in with the monsters after I cast it....
SO. I will be updating this thread occasionally with how things are going with my necro. Including an equipment breakdown at some point, ideas for future equipment, perhaps some questions on value of certain items (trade and usefulness).
A great help would be bargain basement equipment.
I can do a white wand(need to find a suitable host for the runes), till then its a Umes Lament, I have some frostburns for him and a lidless, a spirit shroud, and using the unqie bonehelm, with a Shako Lore helm ready for him already.
Any recommendations on improvements, other bargain items (if they could be dropped by NM Baal, the best thing i can MF without bother at the moment, that would help)
Any recommendations on tactics, ideas on the build, yeah and just stuff like that, thatd be really awesome!
Cheers
