Souls v1.11b Max Block BoneNec Guide

[soul killer]

I don't like the fact that every elemental character's counter strategy was "Sorb."



I'm surprised your Novamancer strat wasn't "Belt full of Anidotes eZ"

Well why dont you go and make a better guide ay?

Post a rude comment, expect one back.

THE MAX BLOCK BONE NECRO!!!
A good Bone Nec can perform flawless victories when your opponent is off your screen

*skilless victories (and usually ibs spam is ineffective anyways)

BOOTS- Treks FTW here, dont see any other boots that can match Treks. 20FHR, 15Vita and FR/W make
these boots the top choice.
Eth ones are nice but awfully expensive.

Shadowdancers > Treks for max block necs, especially with
a stormshield.

Stormshield is also a favorite and perhaps>homunculus in terms of dueling Melee and Zons.
Ber (only Cham for Windies) that Stormshield and youll have an extremly powerful shield which will make zons, barbs, pallys
and other builds focused around physical damage cry.
With Stormshield you will have 43% DR (51 if you choose to Ber it) and Max Block, very important when dueling barbs
and especially those pesky zons.

So stormshield's dr is basically more effective in... any situation requiring block?
Isn't that the premise of a max block build?

iBS- Invisible Bone Spirit is your secret weapon to gg victories offscreen.
iBS occurs after youve clicked on the place you want the Spirit to go to, it goes to that place and if it does find a target, it turns
invisible (to your opponent) but still tracks.
Your opponent is getting hit but cant see it. (Just like Invisible Guided Arrow and Blessed Hammer).

Not quite how ibs works...

BvC- This can either very easy or very hard, very interesting duel.
The first thing BvCs tend to do is run after you with there astronomically high run speed, Tele far away until they ease off, spam Spirits in their direction when you see them on the mini map, they will run straight for you
and tele when your about 0.5 of a screen away for them.
As soon as you see the tele flash you tele South and Spam Spirits, then when they get close tele North and Spam Spirits.
If they run around with Spirits after them, use the Teeth Trick.

Barbs should be easy...
Spamming spirits alone doesn't work too well.
Namelock spears work wonders vs barbs.
I don't see many barbs literally run straight after necs... well, none actually.

Hammerdins- Hard if their good (i.e using h4x)

A hammerdin should be easy for a nec no matter what

FoH- Hard, Easy if your sorb.
SORB HARD HERE, but dont go under 75FCR.

160 monarch anyone?

Windies- Hard.
Get out your Chamd SS and go into the fray....
Good Windies are very hard to duel.
Dont tele, get lots of frw and run them, they will catch you if you tele (thier bp>yours)
Teeth off the minions and them go offensive, spiriting and spearing them.

You have the basic idea, though druid's fcr isn't as fast as yours (stunlock is what f*cks people up)
Though I don't understand why you don't just ber the ss and use a cham's circ or ravenfrost. 7% dr will make a difference.

ASSASINS

Trappers- Medium.
Try to get FHR Gcs to get to 86FHR and then just spirit/teeth them.
Tele into their traps and just spirit.
Rinse and repeat until one of yous dies :P

"One of you dies" will ALWAYS be you if you use that horrendous strategy...
Hint, cast golems.

Ghost Sin (WW/Trapper Hybrid)- Hard..
Always when your on low life (and so are they) they will come to you and try to finish with a ww.

[/QUOTE]

They finish people with mindblasts when they're low :/ ?

ZONS :P
Bowazons- Medium.
Be really defensive here and watch for those killer multi spams, DONT RUN.

Never play defensive; similarly bone prison is unnecessary and in many cases bm (as most zons don't wear nigma...). Get spirits on them, cut them off and teeth them into dodgelock.

NECROMANCERS

Bonemancer- Hard if theyre good.
Crap ones will just tele around spam stuff, get close to em and fire off some spirits and theyre toast.
Good ones will go try to namelock you and are usually very good at doing this.
You stay defensive and try to see the namlock coming, and teeth them to kill and minions they mite have.
Once youve done that go spiriting and spearing them, teething occasionally when they come close.
Very important here to be able to tell the difference between your spirits and your opponents.
When you see theyve got low life, go offensive and teeth/spear them, dont get scared to get close.

West NvN isn't teeth/spear only.....?

Not gonna do Sorcs because everyone knows how to duel a sorc.
Just sorb and watch out!!!

What about a gm duel?
There's much more to it than just sorbing and spamming as well.


A for effort, but that's it D:

56fhr is horrible especially for vs druids

only random hdins use hacks --

Prison is GM on West since we duel in NM. Prison zons; it's #1.

As for ibs'ing : http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=536928

Well why dont you go and make a better guide ay?

Post a rude comment, expect one back.

Not my cup of tea.


I just think that if you want a serious guide you should either not post strategies or post ones worth reading. I'd go with the "not post strategies" one myself, since a person should spend the time to learn the character... but oh well.

So your saying miy strats arent worth reading?
So why did you read them?

If your gonna post, post interesting stuff, constructive critisism and not this crap.

Im sure you couldnt write a guide on anything.

You... do realize that to say they aren't worth reading I would have to read them, correct?

I just don't think putting on absorb is a strategy. And... I guess you disagree.

As for that final sentence... where'd you get that from? As impressed as I am in your ability to completely judge my knowledge in 2 short posts, I'd say you should give me more of a chance.

Well thats all you had to say "I dont agree that sorb should be apart of every strat" and I wouldve been cool with it.
But no....you had to make it with an offensive tone.

I foyu dont like somthing about ma guide just say it nicely.

Now if you have somthing negative to say which is also helpful to me in making my guide better, do tell.....if not then dont bother posting.
