What is it?
- A necromancer that dishes huge damage with skeletons and uses bone spirit as a secondary attack.
Why?
- Cookie cutters and “popular†builds are everywhere on the realms. It gets tiring to build the same exact look alike build and see it in games over and over again. This is a build that can solo hell in an 8 player game and can take down with great success other popular player vs player characters.
Stats
- Strength – Enough for gear, base if possible.
- Dexterity – Enough for max block. Why not enough for gear? People make mistakes and you get a better chance of living and margin of error with max block. Better safe then sorry.
- Vitality – The rest. Life = Longer Living
- Energy – None. Your main damage source is skeletons. This is not a mana intense build. You might need some pots to raise skeletons in the beginning but at the end you’ll barely ever use mana potions.

PvP
Minion Stacking – When you teleport and your minions are on top of you. Caster chars that use projectiles can not hurt you and just go past you with pierce animation.
Always amp caster chars and iron maiden melee chars.
Amazons
Bowazons-
Minion stacking. Amp and land on top of them. Cast bone spirits to help your minions. Easy fight.
Charged Strike-
Not dueled yet will update soon.
Plague Javalin-
Not dueled yet will update soon.
Druids
Wind Druid-
I would stay back and spam bone spirits and let them come to you. You need FHR because stun lock is very easy to get into. But if you can get the minions to hit them you should kill them fairly fast. They are fairly hard but not beastly hard. Don’t forget to amp.
Fire Druid/Melee/Rabies-
Amp them and let skeletons/bone spirits take them down.
Barbarian
WW Barbs-
Iron maiden them. Tele on top of them. Watch them die. The godliest barbs die first because more damage returned hehe.
Melee Barbs-
Iron maiden them. Let the skeletons swarm him so he can hit it. These die fast too. Make sure he doesn’t go for you. If he does keep going for you just amp and let skeletons waste him.
Hybrid/Throw- Amp and finish him with a teleport on top if throw. Iron maiden if ww.
Sorceress
This will be the hardest duels to face.
Fire Ball-
Not enough practice yet will get back to you. Teleport on top with amp and spam bone spirit. Use bone necromancer strategies if necessary.
Blizzard-
Minions all die in one hit. Bone necromancer strategy.
Frozen Orb-
I think minion stacking works. Just teleport and attack them with amp and bone spirits.
Lightning/Chain Lightning-
These sorcs thought it would be easy to kill me. Turns out skeleton warriors can take a lot of damage from them. Just keep them tightly packed together. Amp/teleport on top of them and spam bone spirits.
Paladins
Zealot- Iron Maiden. Do not let them life tap you. If you are life tap bone necromancer strategy. They will leech A LOT.
Foher- The holy bolt does not do enough damage and they must aim and barely ever hit you. Just teleport on top of them amp and spam bone spirit.
Hammerdin- Let your minions come to him and spam bone spirit with amp.
Assassin
Melee/WW- Same as barb strategy.
Trap- Very hard, use bone necromancer strategy. DO NOT GET MINDBLASTED. FHR is VERY important. These guys are VERY hard. Amp if they get close and use bone spirit as main attack
Necromancers
Bone-
Like a bowazon. Amp and teleport on top.
Poison-
Amp and teleport on top. Skeletons will absorb most damage.
Summoners-
May the best one win. Don’t let him teleport on top of you. Try to keep your minions spread apart. Hard battle.
Magic Find
-Very good and easy mf
- Replace all gear with mf. You can LOAD up on mf with no killing gear. Easily get huge amounts of mf. Good thing is skeletons can do pit very fast. They will do all damage and you just need to dodge some elemental and arrows. Very good mf build.
