Poisonmancer, now what?

Hello,

I have a poisonmancer, designed for PvP. He has maxed: poison dagger, poison explosion and poison nova. Used 7 in curses to get lower resist and one for bone armour.

I am currently level 80 and have almost 30 skill points for disposition. Bearing in mind he is intended for PvP and his primary attack is PN where would you recommend to go now? I have no skills in summon, maybe get a golem?

also, i was thinking of a secondary attack like bonespear or spirit, suggestions?

my gear is a poor mans gear because this is my first character.

thanks

If you’re in need of any info, searching these forums will be the fastest way, since there is already a decent amount of threads concerning Venomancers.

Still, it can’t hurt to give you some ideas (although I should just let you look for guides).
I strongly recommend getting a Golem and a point into mastery and summon resist. Fire Golem is a very handy tool for getting that last 1 hp after Nova. Especially when you are planning on dueling pub often, since a lot of people there have the absurd notion that you may run to town when you have only 1 hp left. Teleing after them with Fire golem gives you a good chance of catching them. You could put a point into the remaining summon skills, just to be able to stack minions when yet another pub troll decides to ruin a game (which happens far too often). Just remember that most people consider it BM.
Putting points into a Bone skill would be a pretty good idea since you wont be able to do much vs someone that stacks poison resist and had poison lenght reduction. Although which one is a matter of personal preference and whether or not you plan on using Marrows. If yes, you can diversify some points between Spear, Spirit and Wall, and still get decent dam on all skills, along with some dam red from Armor. If not, choose the skill you are most comfortable with and max it. Make sure you have Teeth, it’s great for getting that last hp.

I highly recommend you look up the guides, they provide much more detailed info. I posted way more than this thread actually deserves.

Welcome Newcomer to The Darkness. Grab a brew :drink: and feel free to raise some corpses.

We have a pure Poisonmancer PvP guide in the [ Essential Necromancer Information ] thread.

For combining your Poison PvP character with a Bone attack, you might want to read the guide by CEG and the guide by hks489.

maybe put more points into lowwer resist, if you have poor equipment and done have deaths web u would do with the resistance.

I find my golem and a couple skellies or revives nice for dueling. They act as fodder against the other necro's who spam bone spirit. Sure, they die fast, but I only need them to buy me enough time to run close enough to them and cast a couple nova's.
