WHat type of NEcro to make??

[weedkilz]

Hey all, I am going to look at the necro forums too, but thought I would ask you guys. I will be playing the elite 8 team on the bottom and filling in with a necro. we have lots of elemental attacks which should be good throughout. However, I have never made a necro before and wanted to try one. What type would fit in our group the best? A basic summoner is safe, but doesnt seem to add a whole lot to the groupl, as we already have a few tanks. Thanks for all opinions.

go pure poison with lots of fast cast if you can afford the equip good resists are needed in baal runs of course. Poison is an excellent choice since it does not seem to lag most players graphic cards on slow computers and combine poison nova with corpse explosion you will be able to even clear things on your own very quickly compared with other necros, as a supplement try to get some points into spear, no real points are needed in bone spirit since it usually scares people a lot unless you're trusted so just get poison nova's synergies and a decent amount of corpse explosion. I don't know what else to say, I could list a whole build but its already been done and would prolly just be a slight variant of pure poison necro build so ya just definitely check out the necro forums.

I will be playing with an untwinked group with other people, so trust isnt an issue, but gear will be. a summoner/ce would probably be safest, but I want to add as much to the group as possible, not just be command lots of tanks

make sure to get the utility curses, like dim vision, LR, decrep, all that...

look forward to playing with you =D

Bone necro!

word. just get a golem and pwn with poison/bone, preferably the poison i would think...

That way we'd have literally every form of damage.

in the long run, if u plan to use this necro after the group finishes the game, it is best to do what rj said, just dont use that much fast cast (the poison dont stack, dont worry about fcr). the thing is, lr is really good in helping elemental attacks (duh) and psn duration (and therefore damage) is extended by lr. of course, add skeletons as needed.

Do a cursomancer! I'm trying one out right now, untwinked, and so far it's going great. I may even post my strategy when I'm done, and it's a break from all the traditional builds. Try one out!

ok, after some reading I think I am going to go with the poison/summon hybrid. Use the poison for killing and summons for some tanking. I dont think I want to make my first necro a curser ebcause I will never remember which keys are which curse. There are some disagreements on what skills to max however. ANgsts guide was the only one for pvm that I saw, and his gots lots of negative reviews. I am thinking max bone spirt and wall, and skelly mas and rasie skely. I found a decent guide in the forums. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks I am goign to go back and read some more now. :thumbsup:

I *think* you might want Poison Nova instead of Bone Spirit, although I'm not entirely sure. Propose a build with skills and whatnot and I'm sure it will be easier for us to wrap our heads around it. =D

[treldonis]

If you plan to be in large groups, I would forgo Bone Spirit. The damage is minimal when there are a large number of players in your party. If you need to cause damage, the poison nova/synergies is the way to go.

errr

psn/hybrid means the poison spells, not the bone spells. bone/hybrid usually requires marrowalks to be effective, and seeing as to how you are plaiyng untwinked, thats now gonna happen. psn/hybrid goes very well untwinked; you yourself wont be ble to kill well in hell, but your main curse (lower resist) helps all your other teammates.

Aww, c'mon, what adds more excitement to the game than the knowledge that some trigger-punk is going to trash all your hard work? Marrowwalks are cheap, grab a pair and pk your friends! You'll be the hit of the party! Of course, wait to do until really inopportune moment, like battling the ancients, etc.

Seriously, one thing that is also nice as a support for a big damage elemental party is some decent LR and the occasional decrep. When you do double damage, its always a nice thing. Monsters with a decrep on and a HF merc's aura are like statues in molasses...really cool. Mmmmm. Molasses. yum. Even if you don't want to invest a lot of points into the curses, grab a wand from ormus to do the LR/decrep for weapon switch, a little is better than none.
