Re:Uber Necromancer HELP

Where can i begin, last week i started a threat asking if a poison nova necro can Uber, You guys quickly said near to impossible. Only way to do is with godly merc and Skeletons, well 60 points invested in psn nova and synergies is too much waste. So the skeleton way! What skills allocated and where. Ill be mostlikely use the similiar items i had in the previous thread.
Anyways, it could-should-would-be, Trang ouls any piece. Homonulocus, Enigma, 44%bramble,Coh, DWeb(-44%) Shako, Mara(27), arach, 2 soj, ravenfrost(?), Megafist(?), I also got 3 pnb gcs(if its any help at all)!anni!

By the way, 3x 5/5 level up facets for trade,i need die facets if anyone is interested!.
thanks guys

Never did it myself, ubering with a skellymancer, but it's been done by others.

No need for poison skills I think. You want:
20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Corpse Explosion
1 Clay Golem
1 Golem Mastery
1 Summon Resist
1 Revive
1 Amp Damage
1 Decrepify
about 6 prereqs

Total 75 - this is the basis

Options beyond that:
A) Max Dim Vision, my favorite
B) Max Mages
C) 1 pt Bone Armor, the rest in Bone Wall

Gear suggestion:
Weapon 1: Beast
Shield 1: Homonculus (Um/Perfect Diamond)
Weapon 2: Arm of King Leoric
Shield 2: Homonculus
Armor: Enigma
Helm: Shako (Um)
Belt: Arach
Boots: Gore Riders
Gloves: crafted with 9-10% CB
Amulet: Mara
Rings: SOJ and Ravenfrost
Charms: anni, torch, summoning skillers, resists
prebuff: Treachery and CtA/Spirit

You still can run ubers with your psn necro if you have some investions in summon tree(1 pts into all sumon skills) Just get might merc and beast axe and ubers are a joke.

Btw, it's cool to run ubers with non-pure summoner:wink2:

naskali is right, a pure summoner is probably the best uber runner, but a psn/summon can do it cake too.

With +skills you should have around a dozen or so revives. Revive a bunch of urdars. Use clay golem and decrep to slow the bosses. Stack resists on merc so he doesn't die quickly. Use terror to scare away the lil baddies. As a prereq for revive you should be able to make a few mages, get a couple poison and a couple of cold. Thier damage will suck but, the poison will keep the boss from regen for like 5 minutes in case you need to get more urdars, and the cold ones will add to the slow from golem and decrep. Use your poison nova to help if you want, but not necessary, actually it will be pretty useless.

I mentioned this in another post but here it is again: I saw a barb that used revive charges to summon a handful of urdars, 9 I think. The barb himself never was in the fight, he just kept spamming howl to keep the little baddies away.

So if his 9 unsynergized revives can do it, your 12 skeleton mastery boosted revives can do it better.

Fair warning, i spell really bad:





Well I play my summon-necro very heavily for ubering and have had wonderful success with it. I did them solo first time last night to be exact, several times with others. I'm currently level **; merc is 87? I'll lay out my stat and skill distribution in a moment. I chose myself to go with mages as well as warriors due to the simple fact it's fun. And it turns out it is not a bad route at all, getting all poison ones are preferred but not nessecary, however a handful of them in my opinion is never something i don't take. Also revive is set at one point but is used HEAVILY. I tend to use act 4/5 w/ cb simply for the resist from the later acts and CB is almost mandatory.

My merc is very important, I ~can~ kill the ubers if my merc where to die, however its very rare that i die when he is alive. So, i like him to be alive. And its painfully slow if he dies. :)

My suggestion is urdars as well, i have to agree. : D and this is my stats laid out, pretty much regular.

Str - low as possible, my goal is to do 1 point, 1. Enough after torch and anni to use my nigma, and therefore all my gear.
Dex - Max block for hell. Humonc adds 40% so add that in.
Vit - The rest, aim for 2.3k plus life when complete.
Energy - What.

Skeelz:

20 warrior
20 mage
20 mastery
20 corpse explosion
7 curses*
1 Bone Armour
~Bone Wall.

*-not attract or confuse. (good at lower levels or for non twi.)

As for gear, well, I have to say my merc gear is much more important than mine. He has peth ap fort., eth infinity ca, and a 19%dr gaze/8ll gaze. You need the DR or the melee from the ubers will eat him, (for my set up). LL Is important and his damage imo is too low without a fort, and whats better than that? :)

My stuff thus far:
Anni
Torch
9 Summon GCs (6 have hi life mod)
An assortment of small charms. (fhr, res, life)
Glovers- Trangs Gloves
Helm- Shako Um'd
Boots- Marrowalks +1 ;(
Belt- arachnid mesh
Ring 1- Soj
Ring 2- Wisp!!- Yes, 20% Lightning abosrb and the heart of the wolveriene are rediculas.
Ammy- Mara's 23
Armour- Enigma dusk shroud.
Weapon- Beast Ettin Ax
Switch 1 - CTA 4+ / 35% spirit
=]

Cast terror on the minions, and drag ubers away from them if possible. Telly NEXT to one of them, cast clay decrypt on uber, then clay golem to slow them down insanely, and keep that golem up, if he dies your merc is sure to be next. Continue with terror / decrypt / bone wall if nessicary / golem and you shouldnt have any problems, other than ur revives goes UUUGGGHHH!.

I think I'm gonna redo my summon nec to max iron golem cause after I put infinity on my merc, I absolutely love the boost, but miss the infinity a lot... just something to think about with your build.

I'm also curious about beast...does the fanat really boost that much? seems like my guys kill plenty fast enough just leaving hoto/humonc on w/ merc's infinity. And I really like to teleport...fast...(if you couldn't tell by my sadness from no insight)

Well, fanaticsim greatly improves your army's attack speed and gives some +% to attack rating and dmg.

Re: Uber Necromancer HELP

Actually it's probably a greek or latin word, that means dead. Used in words like necropolis and necrophylia.
