Not much to say really. My first ever PvM Bone Necromancer (named in honour of my LLD char). This character was surprisingly easy but a lot of fun and very versatile.
Managing the escalation in mana costs as you spend skill points and nursing mana for maximum effectiveness meant this character breezed through normal and nightmare, starting hell at lvl 59. At this stage the damage fell off dramatically (which I knew it would) but was still effective enough to simply keep going.
Act 3 was EXTREMELY tedious and painful. To add to it I had to go through the Great Marsh to reach Flayer, giving me plenty of opportunity to duel Gloams while having 14 Lightning resistance :p
Last hurdle was of course Achmel which took some preparation. The result:

One death when hell Diablo suddenly grew a brain and bone prison + lightning hosed me to death. I had forgotten that he can do that.

He is basically untwinked, only receiving two rings, the rest is self-found/shopped/crafted.

Congrats! The wand and shield are very nice. The gloves too! And boots, and belt...
I salute your dedication to the RO playstyle.
Masterful use of crafts, hero!

I think it stands for 'Rares Only'. Although that's techniqually not correct since he mentions shopped (magic) and crafted items. So it's more of a 'i'm not using sets/uniques' (and perhaps RW's?) kinda approach.

And nicely done Zubans. I like bone necro's too. Spamming walls/prisons everywhere is just great fun.
