How good are necros at key running, particularly dkey running? Those are a pain, as I still haven't gotten a nature's peace, and other times the vipers pwn me, even when I have 30% DR from shaftstop.
Necros are good for keyrunnig as long as you have enigma with you. And for the nature's peace, it just slows you down since you can not use CE if you useNature's. And for the vipers, always tele, never walk(even if the poison clouds disappear) because you will find yourself naked in Harrogath if walk to across the area where some poison projectiles were shot. I have never been killed by viper but i really get pissed off when my merc walks straight to the green clouds.
I use my fishy for key running, but I don't do Dkeys anymore, because; I obviously run countess, as there are runes to be had as well. I found that running the summoner is much easier and much faster than running Mr. N. So I usually trade 2 hate or 2 terror keys for a D key. I seem to complete sets faster this way.
Nithilak is the fastest of all of them to get to but killing is sometimes a problem but i find amp and exploding his corpses before he does works wonders.
Only 3 possible maps and there easy to recognize so its fastest depending on your luck with summoner spawning point.
And with a summoner you should add in as many runs as possible to get most out of summoning your army.
i run all 3 with no problems.nith being the hardest if there are any vipers.just ce before he does and it takes about 3 seconds.enigma makes it alot easier if there are vipers, i just tele back where i am safe and ce ce ce.
Ugh, my merc died to 2 CEs. I need some more fcr, but I use nigma, leoric, homo, trav gloves
Thats why I stopped running Nith, sure I can kill him easy, but reviving my merc saps my gambling money. If I could get 3 Dkeys in one run like naskali did, I would keep running him.
I have converted my summomer a little to run keys...like everyone sais on Nith is a problemand I tend not to ruin him with 4 or more players in the game.
My gear is
Shako(shael)
Spirit 35%FCR
Hoto
SOJ
BK
Thundergods
saracens chance ammy (need to replae this real bad )
Trangs gloves
Marrowwalks..
Merc uses Infinty andys and Treachery
Insight golem
Once you get the first corpse by Nithalak you want to make sure you have the FCR to take advantage of it...Just dont stop corpse poping till everything is dead
Totally aggree with everybody but..... i don't gear switch at all.Originally Posted by flamingchen
Nature's i thought at first was the answer to nith but it way slows down your run if ya wanna get a bunch done quick.
True the snakes will kill your merc quicker then you can notice him gone....but then why waste the money over and over again unless u want too. I let him stay dead if he dies.
My keys to niths and his wierd lay out if i dont ce everything in sight it get revied or i just recat another skellie even though my full army's up and running. If niether of those then i bring in the uber army by revy'n out the whole goon sqaud of mine.
Mental note: i dont even walk across or get near a body anywhere in niths castle of his. It all gets gobbled up by necro in one form or another. One body does not go to waste. Tele does come in handy but then ya mistele once and find yourself right in a bad mix of stuff.
I don't know if your necro is a clubber but mine is lvl 90 sumon and summon only. He's weak he doesn't hit anything....hee hee i'll admit it i hide behind an army of about 64 minions i bring up outta the ground.
i key run with two other buddy's and take nith. I usually finish by the time the other two get there shot at the bosses for keys.
#1 lesson kill everything and dont let a body go to waste
#2 ce ce ce ce ce ce "blow it up". once blown up, it cant blow u up
#3 never ever get in front or in the middle of your army unless you plan on bashin sumtin on the head (necros do that ???? *gulp*)
#4 dont just dive in, work your way up to faster runs by tweaking a lil sumtin new everytime to make it a lil faster. Tooo fast at first will over run u and get ya frustrated. Believe me I'm new and learned real fast i hated dieng and hated seeing my merc die. Monitor almost ended up in the channel out back a couple of times.
#5 send me a pm and i'll try and get on the same time as ya and show you how i run nith. you can tag along with ash's army if it'll help ya at all.
sorry for all the mispells and punc. i tried to rush this up before i had to jump out the door for work.
Good luck and remember yourplaying d2 for fun
lol have fun necro
I don't have any problems running nith, it's not like I die or anything.
I do not revive my merc for nith, but I do revive him for the rest of the MF run.
It's just that I found while running nith that I always had extra Tkeys and HKeys, traded those for Dkeys. It seemd that I was completing sets faster when I wasn't running nith, so I just got to the point that I stopped running him.
