Viable - What To Expect

[XZON]

I just finished NM act 2 with my level 42 necro. So far, everything has been a breeze. Decrep w/ 10 skel, 4 mages, 6 revives & golm makes the going real easy. My charachter is tweeked fairly well & I am sure this is why I have found the going so quick. My questions are will this build be viable to solo hell & as I progress, what difficulties / obsticales should I need to overcome. My equip / stat allocation & plans to follow.

current equip
white wand +2 spear
lore or phesant hat (will get shako)
vipermagi (will upgrade)
telling of beads (ammy)-looking for better
humonculus
manald heal & rare (have raven & others for higher level)
uni exec belt w/ magic find (forgot the name)
unique boots (have +2 marrows for level 66 & looking for silkweave now)
1 bone / poison GC

curses: 1 each in amp,weaken, terror, decrep

summons: 20 raise skel, 4 skel mast, 1 each in clay, blood, iron, golm mast, raise mage, summon resist, revive

bone: 8 in spear, 1 each in teeth, armor, corpse exp

plans: max skel mast, 1 in dim vis, max spear & wall
this should be done by level 83 with 7 remaining skill points from quests.
reason for wall is synergy in armor & spear.
level 2 might merc w upped duriels shell, etheral hone sunari amn, shael, shael, & some helm w/ PMH

I am pvm mostly.
I wonder if this will be enough curses. I think above level 83 I should start spirit for additional synergy.

any advice welcome. thanks.

You will be alright. No major problems.

with 4 skill points in skel mastery your skeles will have low life which may cause problems by act 2 if you don't hurry up and increase your points here. Other than that you should be alright.

Thanks. Actually with +skills I have 13 in mastery now. I was gonna alternate mastery / bone spear for a while. I could just go 16 in a row to mastery as I could probably get away with the small spear damage I have for a while longer.

It looks good to me as well. Mad loves DV for gloams and such. I've never used it and they were certainly a problem for me. I added two additional points to amp and decrep to spread it out but that's it.
