Next skill choice

I maxed bone spirit and all of its synergies and made it through NM fine. At level 63, I've got 9 skill choices and I'm not sure which way to go. My equipment is:

Rare circlet w/+2 bone skills and lots of resist bonuses
White wand
Skin of vipermagi
homunculus
+1 necro skills ammi
frostburn, goldwrap, infernostrides
rare rings

I got 10 points in bone prison as granted by item and feel like its enough. I was thinking about going with a curse but not sure which. I'd amplify damage if it would enhance the magical damage from bone spirit but it doesn't. What about attract? Is attract effective in hell as a distraction? Any ideas?

Bone Prison, as you'll want the synergy bonus from that, too. Unless, of course, this is a PvM bonenecro. If so, you'll want some curses. Dim Vision or something.

to max the synergys you need to be lvl 80 w/o extra skill points. But when you do i'd put 3 points into revies (2 go for the synergys) and after that decrupt.

Ah yes!, I overlooked that synergy! It is a PVM although I suppose I could make him a dueler. Problem is, I just can't seem to get the jist of dueling...always getting owned, I am. Anyway, thanks for pointing out the extra synergy

Dueling is hard, and it takes lots of practice. I'm still not very good at it. For PvM, you'll want one point in every curse, except maybe the AI curses. Pick one you like, Dim Vision is VERY nice, and ignore the others. You'll also want a point into Clay Golem, Golem Mastery, and Summon Resist; that should be your only Summoning skills. It'll take enough time to max the synergies as is, so don't waste points.

I'm also assuming you aren't taking advantage of the Marrowwalk Bug?

For pvp: curses up to decrepify only(the right side)

For pvm: curses up to decrepify + Dim Vision.

As a bonemancer...you have no need for Lower Resist (and sorc's can fend for themselves in baalruns good enough anyway) so there's no need for it.

Your most used curse will probably be Decrepify anyway...another suggestion woould be to check out soulesschilds guide for this build...and take what he suggested as an idea also.
