Strength-enough for gear

What about lower res :scratch:
Ive never made a psnmancer so I dont really know if lower res helps with psn dmg...

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

Read the PvP Poisonmancer guide in the [ Essential Necromancer Information ] thread. That guide also does well in PvM.

LR is the only skill we have that can break an elemental immunity. So in that sense alone it is vital.
At about level 7 (easily reachable with +skills) it also lowers enemy resistance by about 50%. This drastically speeds up your normal killing and killing versus creatures with high resists.

Ok, but what if I play skellie/psnmancer? Should I still invest one pt in LR?
Id have to "waste" 5 pts to get there. Or maybe its just easier to use it on switch wand.
And also, should I still use +3 summon amu or switch to seraphs hymn?
(only amu with 2 skills I have atm )

 

[Slavian]

at least one point in LR is a must, wether be it from a wand or not. u'll be using it alot, because your dmg will suck without it.

If you have maxed RS and SM, then definitely go for the +3 summon. If you maxed all the Poison synergies go with the +2.

All my pure Skelemancers have LR, to help them with PI/stoneskin, possessed PIs and other stuff where physical immunity can't be removed, or physical resist remains obscenely high. I use it a lot in Maggots Lair, when I fill the corridors with firewalls...

As a poison hybrid, you'd most definitely want LR --- you are spending 60 skillpoints into a tree, and want to forfeit a means to skyrocket the damage?

If the points you need to get to LR are a problem, you might want to run some numbers --- maybe it's more efficient to just spend 55 points in the poison branch...

Also, note that you have written "poisonmaster" in the title, hinting that you see poison as your main attack.

Concerning the amulet: If I were to made such a hybrid, I would probably try the +2 all first (but I would use my one and only Maras that I've stashed away somewhere... or see if I have a +2 necro stashed somewhere).

 

[FrozenSolid]

Actually i didnt start this thread, just leeching off it
Anyway Im planning to use my skellies as main killing machines and nova to help out so its 20 raise, 20 mastery, 20 psn exp, 20 psn nova.
So I dont know if I really want to place 1 pt in LR since Ill basically amp everything thats moving.

there a good couple of guides in the sticky for Poison Hybrids. Try readnig there to give you more insight. :thumbsup:

Both guides refers to maxing the 3 psn skills and only maxing RS and not SM.
Im building one with maxed RS, SM, PE and PN.
The dmg wont be 10k but around 3k, most killing will be done by skellies and CE, nova is mostly for fun and to shorten killing time.
Has anyone tried this "build"?

A few people have commented on using a similar build. Most of us use this build if we want a hybrid, but do not have the good gear required to make it work "properly".

At the end of the day the whole thing is a "guide" - ie it a rough template that can normally give you insight on which way or direction to go. However just because it doesn't mentioning SM being maxed does that stop us from using our own brain/iniative? :rant:

Yes for the record i have used a poison hybrid build and maxed all 3 poison and max RS and near maxed SM. With the amount of +skill, i have bumped the slvl for this quite a bit and beaten the game relatively easy.

Like most necro build "godly" gear isn't absolutely vital.

Yes, I have.

It isn't as effective as maxing your other poison synergy I've found.

But it's the best option if you do not have a deaths web.

If you have one max the third synergy.

Ok, then that build must be godly
The reason Im making a hybrid is because i have a skelliemancer and he had like 20+ skill pts unused at lvl 80+ and I could solo baal with ease.
So I decided to rebuild him into a psn hybrid, when I say that I mean dumping the rest of the pts in the psn tree
However at lvl 99 the 3 psn skills, RS and SM can both be maxed :thumbsup:

 

[FrozenSolid]

Tried it, the skellies works great as always but the psn nova dmg just doesnt cut it. Oh well, rebuild, now a psnmancer with skellies as 2nd killing skills and a pure skelliemancer with good old CE maxed
