Any other Boners out there?

[jag]

Having played a summoning necro to level 91 and reaping the benefits of that characters versatility (mfing, uber runs), I decided to try out another necro -- this time a bone-only build. Don't see much discussion on this at all....

From my 1st character's ability to accumulate wealth, I was able to outfit this bone-mancer with all the best - enigma, shako, hoto, arachnids etc...

I have put every point except 2 (clay golem/golem mastery) into teeth, bone spear, bone spirit, bone prison, and bone wall. No poison or curses at all. My main attack i prefer is bone spear (for the peircing attack) and is shooting ~3500-3700 per shot. I have maxed out fcr to hit the last break point. I have maxed all the synergies out except bone wall which probably will never get completely done since i usually dont get much past 90 or so with a character.

I have to say that this is by far the easiest mfing and key runner i have built. Nothing is immune unless i walk out wsk. The CE or merc is enough to overcome anything that is. Its not a 1 shot killer, but the piercing attack takes out tons. If there is too much for me to handle, bone prison keeps them all neatly bundled till i am ready for them.

I am thoroughly impressed with the speed, durability (mainly vita-build), and fun it has been to pay this build. Bone prison is very annoying in party situations, but great fun to play with on your own. Its great teleporting thru Nihlathaks chamber, dropping bone prisons on the hell witchs/skel archers/ or snakes so that i can take out Nihlathak 1st, grab loot and leave without even bothering to worry about the rest of the room's monsters. A whole run might take me a minute if i stop off to Malah before i start the run for potients or to sell things.

Anyone else out there liking the pure boner build?

There are _whack loads_ of bone necromancers.

There are two (?) guides on this forum, too, under the stickied section

What shield are you using ATM? SS? Homunc.?

I do have a Bone Necro, but I'm not too sure if it's exactly that great in PvM.

they are extremely efficient and fun if played well.

take zero damage with little effort
bone shield owns
one-point golem for combat-casting is pure gold

i died about 4 times to level 74 with a glass cannon...all completely avoidable

only non-p&b skill i made use of was the one-point golem...bonemancer needs nothing else

i could have sworn i posted in here....whats up?

I am using a spirit monarch for the added skills and FCR. One thing I found very important to this build is to hit the last fcr breakpoint of 125. Of course its helpful for teleporting but also the attack speed is needed since this is not a 1 shot killer. The faster i shoot, the more the monsters are hit-locked and the less damage I take.

I am now walking out wsk/baal solo without much trouble. Only the occasional magic immune that my merc makes short work of. I rarely have to bone prison anything except Listers pack. I always bone the last wave up because he spawns sometimes with some nasty aura/enchants.
