There you go...everything you need to know.

Obviously...it's easier to lvl in the beginning as a summoner...so just do what the guide says...and put only 1 into skeleton and max out your skeletons.

necros arebest played focusing on a single set of skills (i.e summons, poison, or bone)

you can definatley do a combination, it's just not as powerful in the end

If you want to combo Summon/Bone, I would go with the following point distribution:

20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
1 Clay Golem
1 Golem Mastery
1 Summon Resist
1 Teeth
1 CE
20 Bone Spear
20 Bone Spirit
1 Bone Armor
1 Bone Wall
1 Bone Prison
1 Amp Damage
1 Decrep
1 Life Tap
1 Dim Vision


If you go to lv 99, that will leave you 20 more points to distribute. I'd put them in synergies for bone spells, namely for the bone armor.


for Stat Points:

Strength: Enough to wear end game gear
Dex: None
Vitality: Everything Else
Energy: Nothing (you could prolly get away with 20 points or so in thebeginning so you don't run out of mana so fast)


For a merc, go with the Act 2 Might merc with and Insight Polearm for mana regen.

Even though he didn't say which way he was going...I guessed it was the poison route...but if it's the bone skills version...I'd still start it out the same way. Then after getting the 1 in mastery and maxxed out skeletons...start on the bone skills and after they are taken care of...put any remaining points into skelton mastery.

yea, i wasn't sure either...i would presume a poison/summoner would be more viable since you don't need as many skill points to use up
