Max posion or CE+curse?

my necro is currently lv 40 and has maxed skeleton mastery and raise skeleton.
i am thinking if i should max posion as secondary attack or max CE and some other curses?
bascially i play it as a pvm character(have never tried pvp before :p), i want to make a character easy to play(hence skeleton) and fun at the same time
any comments would be appreciated, thx~

Think you will have a hard time getting maxed poison skills. Max CE will probably speed up your killing speed alot more. Rest of the points can go into curses, mages or revives or whatever you like.

But Poison might work, although it will porbably not be fully synergised.

Max CE is great. 1 kill clears a room instantly. W/ a decent amount of +skills, 1 in each curse should be more than enough. I suggest skeleton mages as another skill to max (I know, everyone says they suck, but I found they are very useful).

Heya,

If you max CE next, you'll have a standard Fishy. Effective & easy. If you go the hybrid Poison route, it's way more fun. You won't get max poison, but you can still get fantastic poison damage if you use items to help it. An example would be pumping poison explosion & poison nova. With just those 40 skills points, explosion does 5800 damage over 10 seconds basically, and Nova does 1200ish damage over 2 seconds. That's good damage. It's not "OMG OMG!" but it's good enough in support of your skellies to help get the job done. You could just CE the house down like everyone, but it looks neat and is fun to pop a poison cloud on their heads and watch them drain to death while your skellies wreck their face. Insult to injury.

If you play in pub games, everyone will whine about your summons & poison though.

Cheers, :sunny:

The closer you get to the cookie-cutter Fishy build, the faster your Killing speed will be. If you want to use poison, then go ahead and experiment. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you're not doing it to try and maximize killing speed.

If you really want maximum ease and safety, there is nothing better than the Fishy base build (max RS/SM/CE) with maxed DV and the rest in Bone Armor synergies.

My former poison/hybride had better killing speed then my fishy.
Mostley did Chaos runs anyways, the MF's were done by sorcy anyways, which IMO has way more speed and MF to make me take a Necro to do that with it.
I did baal runs in quiet some speed.... No problems with any IM because of maxing mages instead of skeletons(works fine with my infinity merc + Insight Iron golem, + Lower resists) They weren't hat frail either, thou the revives took the most hits. Poison immunes were handled with CE/mages, or just teleing away. The only thing it possibly lacks is the saftey, which gets kind o' boring.
