Guide: How a Summoner Kills A summoner
---BoneHonnors Skelly Prison Tactic---
Description of this method:
*good for low and mid level duels, and great for making small spaces for boners and poison necros to have min damage done to them from tele summoners.*
Necros are my favorite player in d2. Never played any other characters completely. I think there boring. I have with my commando necro been in many low and mid level duels, and nearly won ALL of them. I lost to runners and sorc. I only lost 5 times to pallys and barbs, and thats because they where 20 lvls higher! When I was 40 something, I loved challenging 50's and 60s. Not anymore now that I am 75 lol!
The point is, I have learned a lot from dueling Without teleport. And my favorite duels *besides barbs* is necros.
One day I went against a higher level summoner with max in all skellies and masters. (60 something, I was 40.) I decided to pull a trick I learned to pull on runners earlier.
---How to Kill a Summoner---
When Running out side of say blood Moor, Go way out, about 2 screens away. Don't puppy guard the gate. Its not only honorable, its good for this tactic too.
Low-mid duelers and Summoners vr Summoners:
First thing You want to do is Unleash any bone spells u have, no matter what level they are. For Some reason, this physcs the fishmancers or summoners minds, and thus they like to sweep left or right, or will go right behind there armys. They also slow down on there pace to you. This is what you want.
Next if you have time, cast some bone walls FAR away from you randomly. This makes it hard for your skellies and his to move around. DON'T WORRY about this. This is a mind game still. Its wise to do this with some investments in bone wall so it will last longer. *Besides, every necro should have investments in synergies for bone armor, its a Necros 2nd best friend. *
While the necro starts to break from his pocket (because He is trying to stay behind the biggest group of his minions) curse all his minions with iron maiden, then cast bone prison around the SMALLEST section of the group, or the one that is divided. This is good, because he will keep moving with the larger part towards your own army. Then prison the army only if you can help it, and then prison him. Cast this a few times so there is no wiggle room. Even if he decrypts your skellies, his ones are getting hurt bad (higher iron madian the better) this is where you unleash bone spells on him. They will be bad, but trust me, this freaks the crap out of a summoner. If you are bone, This is even Better.
Then summon Fire Golum right next to him and keep shooting at him. Run around a little and constantly recast bone prison, but don't do that anymore on him! Its important for him to run because you can keep walling him in with bone wall and dividing any remaining skellies OR for you to go after him and attack him with melee if you are a close fighting necro, without the cost of his minions on you!
Boners vr Tele Summoners:
These guys are tough to beat if you are a boner. But again, like above, cast bone walls and bone prison everywhere. Because You have fast cast rate, you can still once in a while cast a BS or spear on him. The goal is to litter the field with bone walls so when he does tele on you, only a small part of his army can hit you (say you tele behind a wall and he teles on top of you, (pushes the summoner behind you or the wall )
You will now have less of the damage taken, and you can still cast bs or spear and have it go right through the walls! Iron Madion on Skellies, and Amp on Summoner. This makes him weaker to magic, giving u the uper hand, while he freaks out about his minions.)
Also, the Skellies WILL ATTACK the walls! Less damage thus to you! This battle will be long, but its a game of cats and mice. Tele Summoners have the advantage over boners because of there meat wall, but Boners have the advantage of bone skills. Use that to your advantage!!!!
Posion Necros vr Tele Summoners:
same thing as above for boners, but simply shoot some bone walls and keep tele'n behind walls you made and blasting nova. Better yet, go into an area full of minions. The skellies get distracted for a second, and as a added bonus, you can use poison explosion, which at its max can do up to 9k on any body use use it on! Watch the summoner tele right into it
Conclusion:
In Retrospect, Summoners can be some of the toughest pvp duelers out there, epically commando necros. Of course this can only be the case when they have teleport. With these tips I hope I can provide more challenge and key swapping methods for necros of all types when they fight one another. If I took this idea from anyone who already posted this guide before, I am sorry. I looked, but I am alas a noob. Please forgive my ignorance if such is the case. I hope you guys have fun, and help others out with your experience too!!!
