bone necro questions

[damonnnnnnn]

ok im making a bone necro. ive got a few questions-

1. should i get clay golem?
2. should i get curses? and if so which ones? (only good one i could think of is decrip)
3. how much base str should i have? (most expensive str thing is dusk enigma)

this is mainly a pvm char but i might dabble with a lil pvp. thanks

1. I'd recommend putting one point in clay golem, golem mastery, and summon resist. With a little +skill from items this guy will be helpful even in hell difficulty.

2. I do exactly that. One in decrep and it's prereqs.

3. That, I'm not sure of :3 Still trying to figure that one out based on convienience.

1) Gummys are useful for killing bosses in PvM. Don't invest more than 1 point.

2) For PvM, you can use your bone walls/prisons to cover most of your crowd control needs. Decrepify is obviously useful, but Dim Vision is very good against nastier monsters such as Gloams/archers.

3) It depends on the rest of your gear. If you're using Homunculus, use a Mage Plate 'Enigma'. Torch and Anni are able to give you enough strength to wear the MP, which will give you the last 3 strength you need for Homunculus. Bonemancers don't need much in terms of strength unless they're using Spirit or something. o.O. If you don't have enough strength from your gear (+40 from gear) to equip the MP Enigma, go for a BP.

Speaking of Homunculus, I've got a question of my own:

Thinking PvP, what's the absolute best thing to socket into a Homunculus?
Ber, for 8% phys resist?
Um, for 22% everything else resist?
Jewel with +resists and +FHR?
Something else?...

I like maxed bone skills (102 pts), 1 pt in amp, 1 pt in clay golem, 1 pt in golem mastery for pvp (takes you to lvl 94). As for curses, none are really useful except maybe decrep but skill points are at a premium and you can always carry a wand/head that has decrep on it when you really need it. Alot of bone necros (pvp mainly) don't put a single point in the curse tree. But I highly suggest pointing amp dmg since you do have to play ALOT of pvm to get to lvl 94. Will help your merc and your CE.
