Poison hybrid Build

Need some help tweaken my build, pretty much basen it off of the forums poison/summon hybrid.

skills:

max poison nova/dagger/explosion
1 to bone armor/wall
max Skele
1 lower resist
1 to clay/sr/gm
rest to mastery

I plan on reachen 75% block with homo and the rest of the stats to vit. Imma attempt my first caster wid no points into energy.

Usen trang belt/gloves/armor (maybe) and prolly marrow walks. Shako as helm and ammy is a +3 bone skills/+34 mf. Rings will prolly be soj's if and when i can get some.

Dun have arm of king leoric, so juss gonna use spectral shard for fcr, or one of the crudy unique wands wid only +2 necro skills.

And a question, if i spam poison nova, does all that poison dmg stack? Like if i cast it twice, with each doin 100 poison dmg over 3 seconds, then will it be 200 over 3 seconds (assumen that both were cast at the same time)?

Sorry for the layout, but thanks for any input.

No, it doesn't. All that spamming will do is reset the 2 second timer on the poison damage. That is why FCR is useless for a Poisonmancer.

Hmm, so is the build viable in hell?

 

[Kyo]

Yes - If you read the guides they will explain everything.!

More than viable. Imo, you don't really need the block though.. You will be quite safe with your skeles, and since you don't need to re-cast PN all the time, you can run around dodging enemies quite freely. Just get yourself a pair of marrowwalks to boost your BA and you are set.

If your hybrid is using PD it probably a good idea to go with max block.

the extra dex would help for AR (not to mention dagger requirements) and since your going in close for melee a good shield will be a life safer imo.

And it raises the physical damage on the dagger.

BAh! Pesky MM - Always so helpful

Amazing what u can learn from the "way of the Mantis" :worship:

But if he ever plans on getting more than a spectral shard (or any other dagger), then he won't be using PD too much.
And at least to me it sounded like he'd rather be using teh AoKL..

 

[Kyo]

He will probably want to use a good dagger near the end game. A Good blackbogs (when using PN & PE) or my personal favourite "FleshRipper!" is awesome particularly against bosses and hard uniques.

He can still prebuff his minions with AOKL but i personally alternate between the "sharp" and my precious

Actually, i htought that casting more poison novas would be helpful, so i was gonna use spec shard. BlackBog actually looks pretty good, and i was initially not going to use poison dagger as a main attack, but oh wells xP

 

[Tengu]

Awww, now look what you did! You converted poor Fiery into a meleemancer... Sigh, another lost soul :hanky:

 

[FieryPlague]

Lol, well it'll be a 50/50 gameplay. If i feel like it, ill go melee, but i much prefer casters to meleers so meh xP
