What necro is this?!

Hey there!

I found this awesome video with one of the coolest builds ive ever seen!
But the problem is that the only builds i can find either uses purebone, summons+bone (no CE) or summons+CE (no bone).

So what is this build called? If you could tell me that or just give me some guide lines to make a nec who uses skellies+revives+CE+bonespirit well, would it be so niice!

Click your browsers 'back' button, then click the thread located directly above this one*. It's called 'The Mouldy Tome: Necromancer Guides, Tips and Tests'

That's what's known as a 'stickied thread'. Whenever you come to a forum, read these.

Besides that, it clearly says in the very beginning of the video that it's a Bone/Summon Necro.


For your convenience - I've saved you the trouble of those 3 mouseclicks by making this list.

Bone/Summon hybrid by Angst
The core of this build is a Bone Spear or Spirit, depending on your preference, with a reasonable amount of synergies. Either Revives or Skeletons are used as meatshields and damage dealers. This guide does not stress the use of Marrowwalk. A thread with questions and feedback can be found here.

MF Bone/Summon hybrid by batuchka
This thread is focussed around MF. It gives info on how to MF safely with a Bone/Summon hybrid. Several gear options and strategies are given.

This build is not intended for PvP.


And finally, the standard Skelliemancer (aka fishy)
You can use this one as a template for your own summoner/whatever hybrid, you just fill in the blanks.

Skelliemancer by Nightfish
Often referred to as a Fishymancer. The basis of this build is formed by a maxed Skeleton Mastery and maxed Raise Skeleton. A maxed CE is added for kill speed. The use of a 4xEth 2xShael Phase Blade and Crushing Blow equipment is advocated and adds a unique element. This build has a lot of room for customisation thanks to the leftover skill points.

This build is not intended for PvP.

Cheers!

Edit.

Hey there!

I found this awesome video with one of the coolest builds ive ever seen!
But the problem is that the only builds i can find either uses purebone, summons+bone (no CE) or summons+CE (no bone).

It's just a standard decked out bone/necro. Every bone/xxx uses CE, it's a one-hit wonder in these sorts of builds; let massive +skills do it's wonders. My guess this build in particular is something like:

20 Bone Spirit
20 Summon Skeleton
1 Revive
1 skeleton mastery
1 summon resist
1 Amplify damage
20 Bonewall
20 Bone Prison
pre-reqs

Rest either in a bone spear or in skeleton mastery; it's a matter of taste really.

 

[Forbiddian]

No, he has more points into skeleton mastery.

He showed the gear, which wasn't too ridiculous charm-wise (maybe +12 all skills at most), and he had double-digit and more summons, like 12-13.

He definitely maxed RS (so prolly SM), looked like he had a few in amp and CE.

His bone spirit might not have been very powerful. His bone armor got chewed up by a couple hits and the first Nihl CE, so I doubt he maxed out his bone synergies.




But basically anybody who tele's Nihlathak and doesn't even bother to juvie or rebuff Bone Armor is too decked out in gear for anything to matter.

 

[MalVeauX]

Heya,

Looks like a Commando/Bone hybrid to me. That was beast on switch that he had right?

Cheers,

 

[Nevada]

No, the switch was CTA, as he used bo!. (Even though i'm not that good at german)

And i know what stickies is. But i didn't know that bone/summons used CE.

Still need some help figuring the skills out!

 

[Hellemyr]

How did he survive that much beating? Like down at Nihlathaks he got a lot of hits, but dident see his healt blub move that much.

 

[AnimeCraze]

And i know what stickies is. But i didn't know that bone/summons used CE.

EVERY necro uses CE, except the newbest ones. It's just like how every sorc uses teleport. With the amount of PnB skillers that a bone necro uses, his CE will be at a respectable radius at even 1 point.

 

[Nevada]

Thanks for help everyone! I'll experiment with a bone/summoner!

 

[Nevada]

Well i started mine yesterday, and i'm now level 75. Going 80-85 today, and this is the skills i've developed so far:

20 SM (xD)
5 Revive
20 BS
Some points in boneprison
Prerequires
1 Amplify

Did i screwed up?!

 

[LastZodiac]

Did i screwed up?!

Yes. Yes you did.

What is this necro for? Mfing? Keying? or just to play?

Cause my bone necro has 20 SM, RS, BWall, BPris, 1 into everything else, cept attract, and poison skills. The 'Bone' part of my necro is just synergies to up my bone armor, but it also affects BS, which is nice.

 

[Forbiddian]

How did he survive that much beating? Like down at Nihlathaks he got a lot of hits, but dident see his healt blub move that much.

Think ONLY his display gear was godly?


With 75-80% FR, 30% FA, 50% DR and/or Block (is CE blockable? I don't see mobs block it much, but I also cast it two or three times usually), and 2000+ hps, I couldn't imagine dying.


Consider that barbs with 3.5k health, 0-15% Fire Absorb, 20% or less DR, and little or no block can farm Nihlathak with no problems in Hardcore, it's not really surprising.

 

[Nevada]

Last Zodiac:

Well.. I'm going the same way as you, just with 5 points in revive and no other curses than Ampdmg. But with 5 points in revive, can i do ubertrist?

Necro is for keying, rushing, maybe a lil mf, and overall just messing around..

 

[Addict]

Personally I'm of the opinion that unless your gear has NO +skills you don't need more than 1 point in revive. Even with just a +2 wand, +2 nec shield, +1 armor, & +1 ammy (all effortless to obtain) you'd have 7 revives. I never thought I needed more revives bad enough to spend hard points. 7 is just with crappy budget gear. I only have middle grade gear & I have +10 to summons...so 11 revives. More than enough...there's better things to put points in. (Like your bone synergies)

 

[Nevada]

Okay :S Nah, don't wanna remake.. I pwn 1playergames and hes fun to play. But im consider making a bone pvp/pvm and compare them

 

[Doppel]

No lifetap?
Add one point in life tap too, another 1 point wonder.

 

[AnimeCraze]

1 point amp, dim, and decrept are what I consider the minimum of any necro.

 

[Ed from Russia]

I only looked at the video briefly, but it didn't look to me like he was using the maximum number of skeletons. My guess is that it's something like this:
- 20 Bone Spirit
- about 10 Corpse Explosion (he has a pretty high radius, certainly full-screen)
- 1 pt in pretty much all summoning skills (so he can use Revives)
rest in bone synergies.
- 1 pt Decrep is the only curse you really need in this setup.
