PvP Teleporting Summoner
Now, I know all about the bad manner things and what not, but I have not once in my life on D2 ever do any private dueling with rules. I've been pro-public rooms for my entire life, and I dunno' why. So toss all the rules out the window and go all out when giving me advice or flaming me. (I'm on US-East non-hardcore non-ladder)
First off, I like getting a response from people. I like to watch them grow emotional as they die/kill me. It's just something I like to watch. Like "WTF n00b" and whatever else I get from all those megaton punch classes (megaton punch is what my friend and I call those .. well .. uh .. classes that people get pissed of at, like ele druids, trap sins, bone necs, and all else. So this Teleporting Summoner is meant less to "own all," but at least make people respond with something.
Stats and skills .. I was curious in this general area. Stat-wise, I figured I'd have just enough strength to wear all my gear, enough dex for a decent amount of block, but then again, if I use Homunculus, would it be worthwhile to even bother with block? (or is some dex good to give my skellies attack rating? .. or does my attack rating not affect theirs at all?) Base energy, and I would probably dump the rest into vit. For skills, obviously 20 skeleton, 20 skeleton mastery, 20 skeletal mage (not sure about this, they are weaker than warriors, but do provide some elemental damage and maybe get people stuck in block/recovery animation?), 1 point in summon resist along with its pre-reqs., 1 point in revive along with its pre-reqs., 1 point in lower resist along with all its pre-reqs. (well, I'm getting this mainly to help sorcs that party with me or something), 1 in bone armor and 1 in bone wall (I may use the Marrowalk bug for a nice boost to bone armor absorbtion). I think after all that, I may have enough points for a secondary/support spell. Like poison nova or bone spirit. This is where I need some advice or help.
Gear-wise, I think I have a vague idea of what I'm getting, but I tend to me closed-minded when it comes to thinking of new gear, so I may need some advice here.
Helmet: Harlequin Crest Shako (socketed with .. ?)
Seems like a good all-around helmet, but I'm unsure of what to socket it with that would prove most useful to me, maybe an "Um" rune or something if I need the resists?
Armor: Enigma Breastplate
Breastplate has the lowest strength requirement I believe, making it good n' easy to get on.
Belt: Arachnid's Mesh Spiderweb Sash
Good caster belt, plus I need the faster cast rate so I can at least hit um .. 75% cast rate or so.
Boots: Marrowalks .. ?
Again, I'm using these mainly for the synergy trick for my bone armor. If you have better suggestions, please feel free to throw them my way.
Gloves: um ..Trangs or something?
I'm not too sure here, Trangs are good for the cast rate and cold resist.
Shield: Homunculus or Darkforce Spawn (socketed with .. ?)
Tough decision here, Homunculus has nice +skills, nice resists, good block. But Darkforce does have that cast rate which I may be needing to get. I may socket it with an "Um" or something if I need the resists.
Weapon: Beast Double Axe
I think double axe had the lowest strength requirement for 5 sockets. Beast will be good since the Fanat will make my skellies attack faster and do some better damage.
Rings: Wisp Projector, Nature's Peace, caster ring, soj?
Now, Wisp Projector and Nature's Peace are good because they have sage charges, Nature's has a better Oak, but Wisp has the other sages that can help out with damage or dish out thorn damage. I may need a caster ring to hit that 75% cast rate, but maybe a simple soj could suffice?
Amulet: Maybe Mara's or a crafted necro amulet
Mara's seems all around, but a good crafted necro ammy would be nice, but I have no idea how much they would cost me.
Inventory: Ten Summoning Charms, Annihilus, rest of space filled with +life,+resist, or faster hit recovery if I can get a break point.
Mercenary: Act 2 Might Merc equipped with Bramble Armor, Doom weapon, and whatever headgear. He will churn out some nice auras. :drool:
I ***THINK*** I covered most all what I needed to cover .. if not, someone will prolly' post something and I'll have it fixed/added right away.
I FORGOT MY SECONDARY WEAPON:
Call to arms ... :idea:
