Question about Game/Bone Necro

[NoobieZ]

I have a few questions about Necro in 1.1 version ..

1) Does bone wall/prison add damage to Bone Spear/Spirit/Teeth ? It doesn't show in the skill description ..

2) How do I get Runewords like Egnima ? Why are there so many kinds of Egnima (breast plate / mage plate ) how do I get them and which one is more suitable for BoneNecro ?

3) Whats an ideal armor for Bone Nec expect Enigma ?

4) I got 4 sets of ring .. which set I should use ?
a) 13STR,19DEX,34LIFE,57 attack rating,10% FireResist,13% LightResist,23% Poison Resist,11 Life Stolen per hit
b) 15STR,11DEX,35LIFE,12% FireResist,13% HP stolen per hit,13% open wound,13% to cast lvl 7 amplify damage
c) 20 mana,1-12 lightning damage,25% maximum mana,+1 to all skills
d) 20DEX,40mana,202 atk rating,+15 to +45 cold dmg ( cold length +4),20% cold absorb

So which one is ideal for Bone Necro of all the rings above ?

1) http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/necromancer-poison.shtml - yes, it does, and it should show as synergies in skill descriptions in-game.

2) Get yourself a nice light type low str req 3 socket armor, and Jah Ith Ber it. Highrunes are a joke these days, mf for couple weeks and at the worst you should be able to get an Enigma.

3) Don't make bonenec if you can't afford an Enigma.

4) Go with a) ring. It is definitely better than a SoJ. But it would be nice if you had a similar one with FCR.

Ok thanks I just noticed that it is shown in the skill description of Bone Spear/Spirit but not Bone Prison/Wall.

So the low str requirement armor must have good stat in order to make a good stat Enigma with low str requirement ?

FCR rings ? I only have this - 3STR,14DEX,12Life,17 Lightning resist,7% mana stolen per hit,10% FCR ... Is it possible to get the a) rings with some FCR ? I havent seen any with those stat and still have FCR ..><

What does mf means anyway ?

[ShadowLXIX]

magic find.

I JahIthBer-ed the normal ring mail from the shop .. currently having 807 defense .. the STR requirement is 36 .. is it good ?

Do you have a list that shows what an armor will turn into when several runes are inserted ?

The arreat summit is awesome for it's listing of all the various items, cube recipes, and runewords in the game.

Arreat summit's runewords page (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runewords.shtml)


Be sure to take note of whether a runeword is ladder only or not - when you create your character, you have the option of making it a ladder character. They have access to a number of runewords that aren't available on nonladder. All three sets of runewords listed on here (the 1.09, 1.10, and 1.11 runewords) are currently active.

So I got it ... back to topic ... Bone Necromancer need to max Bone Teeth for synergy ? Marrowwalk bug won't work if you added Bone Prison right ?

Marrowwalk bug doesn't work at all any more. If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been playing?

Also, maxing teeth depends entirely on what sort of bone build you're going for - some people leave some points out of Teeth, lowering their overall damage, but gaining the ability to invest hard points into decrepify and revive.

You can't blame me for being noob because the total time I played Diablo is even less than 1 month I think and I played it offline.I played it few years ago .. that time I am very noob and just spoilt up my build.

Recently , my friend suddenly wanted to bet 500 bugs with a few friends of mine and me to duel in Diablo , we are given 3 months time to setup our character and I chose Bone Necro. The version we are going to play is Diablo LoD 1.10 , I think Marrowwalk bug still works in this patch ? So still the question : Marrowwalk bug only works if you didn't learn Bone Prison right ?

What is the best Merc that a Bone Necro should have ? A defensive merc in Act 2 ? Is it that Merc from normal difficulty is stronger ?

So which is better in duel ? Max teeth or some points in descripify ? Just in case that skill can give me a better chance of winning the duel cuz I want the money ! :P

Last question : What is Rare Circlet ? Soulesschild guide includes this in the Helm options ... So it is an helm ? How can I get it ?

[Rabbitz]

Yes only with no points in Bone Prison.

I'd say go with a Nm Offensive, huge damage polestick//forty.

Rare circlet..

Just a yellow circlet with random mods, go look for 2necro/20fcr/life/mana/str/dex or whatever you need.

[Quietus]

You will only be able to play 1.10 if you're playing single player characters over TCP/IP - and in that case, you'll only be able to make the Ladder-only runewords if you're using the Runeword Mod. Ask about it in the single player forum.

If you're playing online (that is, you click the battle.net button, not "other multiplayer"), then you'll be playing version 1.11b

If your'e doing the single-player thing, and dueling over TCP/IP, then it is possible to run version 1.10 - and in THAT case, the marrowwalk bug is still in effect, and yes, it will only work if you have no points into bone prison. It also opens up the possibility for some revive meat sheilds, curses, and such without sacrificing power.

[NoobieZ]

So how do I look for Rare Circlet ?

Randomly find them, or gamble them. Best two ways to try and get them. They are extremely difficult to find, though.

[NoobieZ]

So I should get the defensive Merc from Act II normal for the Defiance aura ? Is it the best choice for Bonemancer ? Am I able to set the aura that the Merc is using ?

Only way to set the aura is to buy the right merc. If you're going to use a merc (some people consider that to be bad mannered, by the way, but since this is just for you and your friends, I'm sure that it can be worked out), I'd use the nightmare defensive one, for the holy freeze. Defiance won't help you much - you're a necromancer, after all, and your strength is in bone armor absorbing damage, not in having defense - and whatever aura your merc has, he'll go down in one hit, period. May as well use the aura that will be most annoying.
