thanks. Now, whats a fast a way to level? its 61 now

[Arkardo]

If you intend to magic find with that character, I'd max Raise Skeleton first (you should have done that earlier, but it won't matter in the end) and then max Corpse explosion.

Join Nightmare Baal runs, that's the way to go at that level.

[Thebobs]

thanks, umm I am not going to max ce, cause i don't plan for a fishymancer.

Got any mf tips?

its in hell right now, i need to go to act 4, cause my friends says chaos runs give good exp in hell. Can anyone help me?

[batuchka]

Ok max raise skeleton, skeleton mastery and mages. Get infinity r/w preferably in an ethreal elite polearm. The conviction makes clearing entire screen/s real easy cos it 'amps' the fire damage of your CE, elemental damage of mages and makes skeletons hit harder. I started running hell pits, mausaleoum and andy at lvl 60+ Other than CS runs do Ball runs and if gloams are hurting you use dim vision and slap on a tgods for lightning absorb for stray bolts hehe Actually i prefer Baal cos it has like 3 lvls and every one is a lvl 85 area ^^

[AnimeCraze]

thanks, umm I am not going to max ce, cause i don't plan for a fishymancer.Is there anything better than maxing CE? Unless you have a fancy, expensive iron golem (pride *cough, cough*), maxing CE is the one and only choice.

[Arkardo]

If you're planning of going to Uber Trist to him, you can't even use CE. Instead, you should max Golem Mastery, so that you don't have to resummon your Golem and you keep the option open to make an Iron Golem.

Otherwise, yes, CE is the way to go.

[Thebobs]

yeah, soon after 80.

now the problem is...I can't even kill one thing in hell, which make it hard to summon.

until then, i'll collect equipment, anyone got any items listed by realmofthewolf that i can trade for?

Time for meph nm runs

[Dragonmaster]

Where are you in hell? If you are in act five already, just go through the red portal and raise all of pindle's minions before they stand up. Killing him while you are there is good too. If you aren't there yet, I suppose you could rely on your merc to kill a quill rat or something to get you started.

Time for meph nm runsInsight elite polearm. Cheap to make, does decent damage, and infinite mana regen. That should be able to allow you to complete hell relatively easily.

[Thebobs]

Not warriors, but good weapon for my merc.
I am in act one in hell

Greetings and welcome to the dark side! (oh wait, that's mantis's job, my bad...)

Try using attract then amp damage to get your first kill. CE that first kill and reap the bodies. Many will say buff up your CE, but with the +skillers you can get a halfway decent CE radius with a single point. It's somewhat controversial. Kinda like the mages vs no mages arguement. I decided that since I'm in HC the greater number of summons I have the safer I'll be. So I go with lots of mages. Pros: more minions, elemental damage, prevent monster heal with massive poison, more meat shields Cons: May block your mighty skellie warriors and have pretty lousy hit points. Of course if you get a conviction aura up from a rune word / friendly pally then suddenly your skellie mages look a lot better. But that's another thread.

If your having problems with the first kill, how good is your merc? Maybe buffing him/her up a bit might be helpful.

good luck and good hunting!

wait lvl 70 before going to hell.
Max skellies anyway and stop on Gollum mastery (I always put 1 pt in clay and 1pt in gollem mastery).

As said mages are wanted or not., CE to be maxed or not is a big debate.

if you go the mage route; Infinity merc / forti armor /guillaume-vampgaze-andy
if you use CE a lot : Infinity merc
if u use only skellies :Faith bow merc (act I) or might merc + pride but your necro has to choose a path .....Bone (max bone prison and Bone spear/spirit but not both) or poison (nova + synergy).

No fire gollum, no blood gollum and eventually only 1 pt in revive to help against baal.

I am a overlord. i am about 7 more levels away from maxing skeleton and mages
