well legend has it that there has been a naked necro running around. That'e s right boys and girls Im gunna make a naked mancer...no gear what-so-ever (well i might keep a belt, but hey even with a belt your junk will still be hanging out,and trying to figure out what belt to use too). Thinkin deaths for the cannot be frozen.
And just to up the antie a little Im gunna take it as a nearly pure mojo mancer (with some P&B) as well, with no summons and/or merc. And like always for me a HC character, though I wont play him in many public games (too easy a PK target), other than mabey to get past the act bosses.
MY build will looking something like this
Stats: every odd level 3 points stamina, 2 mana. Every even level 2 stamina, 3 mana.
Skills:
posion and bone:
Bone Armor-3
Bone Wall- 10
Bone Prision- none
Teeth-4
Corpse explosion- 10
Bone spear- 10
Bone Spirit- none
Posion dagger-1
Posion Explosion- 15
Posion Nova-none
Total points: 56
Curses:
Amp- 5
Dim Vision- 15
Confuse- 10
Attract 10
weaken-1
Terror- 1
Decrept- 1
Lower resist- 1
Iron madien- 1
Life tap- 1
Total 46
Now for gear- well though it appears naked your secret weapon is that invisible backpack. Fill it with (in order of importance) +resists, +hp, +running speed charms,+skill charms. That's about it.
How to play first spell is Teeth use it, it's better than you think. Then get bone armor and then Amp (1 point here till you get the rest of your abiblities up). till level 6 alternate points between BA and teeth till level 6 (gives you a BA of 3 teeth of 3 and amp of 1 if you've done the cave.)
At level 6 start adding points back and forth between Dim vision, Corpse Explsion and Teeth. At level 12 (probably won't have taken Andy yet, saving her for level 18) I should look something like BA 3, Teeth 4, Dimvision 2, CE 2, Amp 1, Weaken 1). Continue alternating between Dim and Corpse explosion, no more Teeth, and continue leveling up till 18. so Now you should look like: Amp 1, weaken 1, Dim 5, CE 5, Teeth 4, BA 3. At 18 start get Bone spear and take Andy. From 19- 24 boost bonespear and Bone wall put one in confuse. Now your looking at 1 amp, 1 weak, 1 confuse, bone spear 3, Bone wall 3 (assumeing I took radmaent other wise 2 here) and CE 5, teeth 4, BA 3. Now 24-30 Boost Ill start getting alittle more random in points tyring to keep CE, Bone spear, Bone wall fairly even and adding a couple to confuse and getting attract asap as well. The other curses I'll get 1 in decerpt and save any IM, LT and LR as I start to near nightmare. After level 30 I will then add one to PD and start building posion explosion (though I might go nova instead, PE has got a higher damage rate which would be handy since I wont have many synergies.) And l'll try like hell to max (or at least get it to 15) dimvision as quickly as possible.
All in all I don't expect to be able to solo any ofthe bossees, andy perhaps or I could load up on mana potions and take an hour with bone walls IM and Durry, meph, Diablio, and Baal. but I think I could easily make it through NM solo with this build. Hell probably not unless I get some godly resist charms.
basic strat will be to use confuse and attrack to gather the baddies and try to get the first kill. Then Amp and CE or LR and PE. I'll use dimvision to protect myself and move into position to work my magik. For the most part Ill be trying to stay in enclosed areas where I can focus my magics better. For champions and the such I plan on leading them into a pac of dimed beasties and then castin confuse on the whole lot em, and use BW as a barrier alot since BS wont hit it anymore.
Anyway I'm up for suggestions and comments. Or even other naked build types. Though really it's preaty much this or summoners of some type.
