Best Mercenry weapon For summon necro

[kavehtabriaz]

Hi

I was thinking either pride or infinity. Pride gives concentration but I have beast on switch. Infinity lowers defense rating and resist but does not boost damage. I do not know what to do; I might bend the pride and make a ammy out of it so I can wear it

You're going to do what?

I prefer shael/amn/amn Hone Sundans on my summon nec's.

I've always used Ariocs Needle (+4 to Might just rocks, if dupes aren't available).

Infinity doesn't boost damage, but reducing defense is just as good: skeletons don't have that much AR, so you are helping them to hit. If a skeleton doesn't hit it won't do damage, so hitting more often means more damage.

Also, if you are using mages (I always did), lowering resistance never hurts. Especially since Conviction doesn't cancel out Might, Amp Damage/Decrepify or Lower Resist. And it helps in the resistance breaking department as well (take note, So'or).

I just made what I believe to be the best summons necro possible and here is what I did with unlimmited "funds".

My weapons: Beast/CTA (weapon switch)
Merc: Infinity, Dream, CoH **** Merc is a Might Merc
Golem: Iron Golem made out of Pride

I have maxed points in Skelitons, mastery, CE, Revive
I get the auras of might, fanat, concentrate, conviction

I have 10 +1 summon charms.

He simply rips through everything in the game. The only thing that even slows him down is Iron Maiden. Conviction is a MUST IMO because it enables your posse' to hit the baddies on virtually every hit instead of missing. This is worth 200% increase in damage easily.

hope this helps

Most ppl cannot afford to waste a pride into a golem. What if it dies? There goes a ladder-only runeword, that's damn expensive.

i agree its waste of 3 high.but iam going to try soce set up to make a ultimate
aurdin summon necro.but instead of coh on mercenry i will use bramble for throne aura.dragon could be another option, gives lvl 14 holy fire aura.

I suggest pride, or if you cant get that, Arioc's Needle.
