PvP Bone Necro Discussion
Intro: I've always loved casters more then melee, something about teleing around and spamming spells really appeals to me. Because of this I've basically spent most of my time playing/building casters. I have made quite a few melees but I basically suck with them in PvP.
My last build was a very godly pvp orber. Now i'm not one to use the term godly loosely (like most people) but this char beyond all p gear. I was doing about 1.7k with 8fcr bp, etc. It was great, but after dueling in the pubs for a while I realized even with the -resist of my orber and the damage I wasn't able to take hardly anyone. Now I can play a sorc well, I would never get hit and get several perfect ranged orbs with no prevail. The issue i quickly realized is if your going to duel in pubs everyone is going to absorb you. Now i'm not talking about the bowazon with 2x ravens, i'm talking about the people that quickly switch few items and render you completely harmless. This annoys me very much, and since I want a caster, I have only one option left.
(Haven't we all seen people asorb fb and lite sorces with ease?)
The bone necro.
Now I’ve made a few in the past and had okay success, but I’m hoping now that after selling my orber gear I’ll be able to get a bone necro going that will be able to kill 80% of a pub room.
First off I’d like to ask a few questions, I’m sorry if these have been posted before.
1) Does DR work against bone?
2) Is it worth getting a golem for pvp? Does he take damage for you right after a tele (stack)? What about skeletons or revives?
3) If Yes to 2, is it worth putting 1 into resistance, I’m assuming you should put one into mastery.
4) Is it me or does weaken really suck in pvp? I had it and it would take like 100 damage off of 5k.
5) What would people suggest for a safe FHR. BP 6 or 86% would be easy to get.
Here is my planned skill build:
1 Bone armor
20 Bone Wall
20 Bone Prison
14 Teeth
1 Corpse Explosion
20 Spear
20 Spirit
1 Clay golem
1 Golem Mastery
1 Summon resist
1 Skeleton
1 Skeleton mage
1 Revive
Stats:
All vit
Inv:
9 pnb gcs
1 anni
1 torch
10 x 20 life sc
Equipment:
Helm: +2/20%fcr/+28 str/varied resist (Not sure about what socket here)
Ammy: Storm C
Armor: P Archon nigma
Left Hand: +8 spear white
Right Hand: 35 spirit
Belt: Anarchid
Globes: magefist
Rings: 2x soj
Boots: +15 trek
This would give me 125 FCR (Over 9bp), decent health / mana, 75% FHR (Get to 86 with pnb /w FHR), and following resist:
Fire: 63
Cold: 32
Light: 32
Fire is the one I don’t care about as much as light / cold. So I should prob put an UM in my circet. OR re-think my equipment.
Basically making a good build is about figuring out the right combination of FCR/FHR/Health/Damage/Mana/Resist
Any thoughts or answers to some of my questions would be awesome! Please feel free to suggest other equipment build, etc.
Thanks for you time,
Jordan
