Hi guys, I'm returning to D2 since a few of my friends started playing SC again. It's been over a year now, but I'm coming back because they agreed to try out HC with me since they've never played it.

I'm making a necro at the moment, I can't remember what level he is but it's in the late teens and the only thing I've done is maxed RS already since I haven't decided on which route I'm going to take. I want to make either a summoner or poison/summon mix. This is my first necro ever though and I'm not sure how well I'll fare in hell or which build is better overall. I'm leaning toward the poison mix because I'm not really into sitting back and watching the fight...being behind my minions is fine but I do want to be involved beyond just a curse or 2.

Having said that I still want to be able to equip him with heavy MF gear and not have to worry too much about resistances because this is my only char. at this point, will be completely untwinked, and will be my primary mf character for quite sometime. I know this is possible with the pure summoner but will I still be able to run around so confidently with minimal gear on a poison/summoner?

Well, poison/summon build is kinda gear dependant to be effective in hell. In this build yours skellies are only meat shields and you're supposed to kill everything with poison. It's a great build and hella fun to play but imo Death's Web (even the lowest one) is madatory. Also 3 piece trang (gloves are a MUST) is suggested.
Summoner is best for untwinked play as you can put on as MF as possible and still kill everything. Also you're very safe between your minions which is good for HC.
