Hey, I was just wondering if there are any curses that help out bone spear? Like maybe Lower Resistance or something.

I also have a iron golem, should I put lots of skill points into amp damage? or leave it at one...

thanks in advance.

No curse helps any bone skills.

Amp is a waste with more points in it since it only increases radius. Put them into Raise skeleton and one into skeleton mastery AFTER you max all your bone synergies.

Clay Golem is also better than Iron Golem.

I thought lower resist lowered resistance to magic...?

It would have to, what would be the point for lower resist in single player, when the only element attacks a necro has are poison and skelemage.

I am almost sure it raises damage by like 14% or so...

Incorrect. It used to do this but no longer.

The attacks it does effect are Poison, CE and the attacks of your Mages. That is its use in SP.

You have to decide one way or the other: Teeth, Spear, Spirit, Wall and Prison use 100 skillpoints, so you can't max them AND have decent skellies.

Skelly are not used for killing power.

In PvP it's used to avoid FoH/Zeal/meat shield

In PvM it's used to control the crowd so they don't rush at you all at once.

You'll still need some investment.

Remember that the 100 points are just the boneskills --- doesn't count prereqs (BA and CE -> 102 points), curses and the clay golem (Clay + Golem Mastery + Summon Resist -> 3 points).

So even without skellies you are out of skillpoints.

My own bonemancer used just one point in the summon skills (except skeleton mastery (got from items) and fire golem), which made --- much to my surprise, since all I wanted was Revive --- pretty decent skellies).
