I finished my Summoner Necro...it's got some unique style. I've got maxed Mages and 1 point into Corpse Explosion, and instead of max block with my Homun I use 1 point into Bone Armor and have been synergizing it. Stacking stops melee for the most part, while Bone Armor protects me from the rest. Max resists also. :wink3:

Fishy wins in PvP

I was loitering around on bnet few days back, looking for some trades or nice friendly people to talk to. Someone needed help with rescuing Cain in hell (a level 65 hammerdin who kept dying - had decent gear though). As I was giving finishing touches to the rescue party at Tristram, an amazon joined the game. I was a level 66 Fishy, Hammerdin was 65,and the Javazon was 59. After rescuing Cain, we return to town to talk to him (and save money by free identification service of Deckard Cain the Elder).

And within a few seconds, I hear the "horn" sound and there is a dreaded red crossbones icon in the top right corner.

The Amazon had hostiled me.

At first I didn't like it, because I know Fishymancers are not meant to be used PvP, because the summons damage is cut by 1/2 in PvP. However my big concern was losing the massive gold I was storing for gambling. Usually I leave the game when someone hostiles me, but this time I thought of giving it a try.

So we meet in blood moor. She is running very fast, dunno what gear is she wearing. She starts firing her lightning spears (or whatever it is called) at my big army of skeletons (I think I had 9skeletons and 9 mages). But my skellies move extremely fast - the skeletons surrounded her, and the mages froze her. She was cramped, not able to move. She tried fighting, focusing on one skeleton to break the ring and get out, but died in the attempt.

My health stood at 100% during this duel.

I think I got lucky - she wasn't wearing Enigma otherwise she would have killed me. However the sheer number of skeletons around her cramped her for room, and she died because of that.

So I had my first (and perhaps the last) duel victory. I don't intend to duel anyone, but will occasionally give it a try if someone hostiles me, and I'm not carrying a lot of gold. :smiley:

PS: I sold the ear to Charsi to add one more gold coin to my gambling resources! :cloud9:

randomly decided to try a wsk/baal run w/ my fishy in a trade game. Jumped through wsk portal and killed the first group of guys and out drops a Jah rune... of course everyone is in the trade window so nobody saw my nerdy excitedness

The thing that makes it even better is I had been debating selling my MF sorc for runes to trade up for an enigma so my nec could be a badass, and out pops this bad boy. Got a ber for 4xpul and made myself an enigma, now I feel hottttt

Found a pair of dungos (40/14) and an ethereal Guardian angel (198% def) two very nice finds after getting magic find gear on my summoner.

Both were from teh same game and in RoF.

Recently got my hybrid boner nec to 96!! No-one even so much as 'gratz'ed my accomplishment in the baal game I was in, much to my chagrin. :cry:

Onwards to 97! (only 220mil left) :grin:

Well, I just tried to cut and paste my reply and it didnt work; I am pissed!

My level 89 HC summoner just made it to the very very bottom of the ladder for a few brief moments. I feel that if I wanted to I could take him way beyond this as he is reasonably equipped and is generally ready for anything. I also feel that this isn't such a bad accomplishment for someone who didn't start at the beginning of the ladder and uses relatively crap gear.

The only thing that will give him the deeds screen is a doll pack at the bottom of the WsK throne room stairs! My merc is armed with a massive damage polearm and just one poke will surely set off a doll and end the wimpy necro for sure!

That is all the gloat I have, at the moment! Carry on.

Cool Thread - OK I had a necro when they sucked made 1.04 - by 1.07 or so when I converted LOD act 1 hell full trangs (old style no fire stuff - had to refind most to get that), cool thing was I hit view and could view join NM by default but make Hell games by choosing to make it. kept him a long time that way cause was so wierd was just a total 1 off char. Then nercos got bumped up and BAM I could Kill stuff. Still play him.
FYI if you did not play then you have no idea how bad is was - my friend had to carry him through hell.

OH yeah, Just broke the 700% gold find barrier on my necro and dinged at 90, pretty much solo mfing.

Sitting here with a grin on my face stoked about d2 again. Gotta love it.

Also made an edge runeword to match my gheeds so I can gamble with all this gold better.

Definatly a good day to play a necromancer.

Now that I've started I might as well ride this weird train all the way out to the end. I'm running WsK with my super necromancer summoner and his loyal super merc.

I'm going to run the WsK about five times a day for experience and the fun(thrill?!) factor!

Hopefull the experience will push him further up the ladder. Maybe even enough to beat those who just do throne room rushes for hours.

Ok, this is similar to one of the first stories in the topic, so here goes.

I was doing some mf runs while waiting in a trade game, u know, killing countess, andy, summoner, trav, meph and so fort. I got to meph, and when he died, a rare coronet dropped. heres where this story becomes necromancer related. since i am in the process of gathering gear for a pvp necro, i thought to my self, wouldn't it be awesome if this coronet was 2 nec fcr etc. well, Lo! and behold! i i d'd it and it was 2 nec, 20 fcr and like 40 light res and some other lame mod. I was like dang, today must be my lucky day or something!
I love surprise finds like that.
