Summon/Bone advice

[gorf]

Hi all,

Gorf here, back again. As I knew I would be after about 4 months off. (Starting to wish I hadn't given all my gear away...:rolleyes: )

So the summoner is my favorite character, but I always found myself wishing for a little bit more firepower outside of summons, so I'm building a summon-bone hybrid, focusing on the summons.

Basically I'm just switching max CE and max mages for max spirit and spear.

20skele
20mast
20spirit
20spear/wall
1-rest of summon skills
1-amp-->decrep
rest: spear/wall

So I guess the question is, should I max spear or bone wall? I decided to go no block, since the build will be more mana hungry than before, so I'll need a bit more invested in mana (at least until I get better gear, especially sojs) and having max block would leave me with really low life.

The bone wall will give me a better bone armour, while getting the same bone spirit synergy. The spear will give another attack.

The reason I chose spirit over spear is I figure when there's lots of monsters around, I'll be busy cursing and exploding corpses, and spirit will give higher damage against bosses or tough monsters.

So I'm hoping there's someone out there with a build similar to this who can comment. I'm not expecting to have a very strong spear or spirit by any means, but I figure with a bunch of +skills gear, they'll at least get reasonable, and the super-poweredness of the build can come from the skeles.

So spear or wall? Any other comments would be great!

Thanks!

Gorf

You already have a wall, your skeletons.

I would max BSpear, and lastly BWall, in that order. I suppose the benefit of doing it the other way around is to have a nice synergised Bone Armour, but your skellies will make it almost redundant, in which case BSpear is preferable.
