I need some help

[NecroWah]

I just got to Hell last night and I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm getting destroyed in Act 1 and I'm wondering what I should do to stay alive. I haven't had a problem in this game until now. I have Bone Spear and Bone Spirit maxed out at lvl 29 and I used those throughout the Normal and Nightmare difficulties. In Hell I'm just not doing enough damage to my enemies. So how can I improve my character?

Thanks.

bone spear/spirit arent really that good in hell even if the monsters cant resist it b/c the monsters have SOOOO much life and u only do, 2-3k per spear/spirit and the mana cost of each really kills u. Bone necs r generally good for PvP and i guess rushing. :D

Welcome Newcomer to The Darkness. Grab a brew :drink: and feel free to raise some corpses.

In order to improve your damage you might want to put points into the synergies of BSpear and BSpirit. These synergies are

Teeth: +6% Magic Damage per Level
Bone Wall: +6% Magic Damage per Level
Bone Prison: +6% Magic Damage per Level

There is a easy way to improve your Spear/spirit damage, just raise your cast rate. Its not especially interesting what Damage one Bone Spirit does in Hell, because the monsters have so many hitpoints. Try instead to focus on your damage over time, fx. 5 sec.

My Slvl 88 bone necro has Bone Spirit lvl 32, and it have a max damage 2663.

I have 130 % FCR, and I'm able to shoot 14 Bone spirit in 5 sek and the total damage is 37282.

If I remove some of my gear, and lower the cast rate to 35 % FCR, then I can fire 9 Bonespirit and the total damage will be 23967.

That mean that I can raise my damage with 64 %[FONT=Arial] My Slvl 88 bone necro has Bone Spirit lvl 32, and it have a max damage 2663.

It's a easy way to improve your damage, and faster kills means lesser death.
