So I was thinking of making utility necromancer (who will be completely useless by himself, without a party):Code:Forum name Char build Timezone Availability Can host? Merc ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cwicseolfor Avenger GMT +10 04:00 - 17:00 No Act3 Cold Thyiad Kicksin (?) GMT +1 Most of it Yes Yes (what?) Drystan Special GMT +10 Most of it* No We'll see Xdeathfire Mauler GMT -5 See his post Not sure Act2 Might Greebo Utility_Necro GMT -4 24/7 really Yes Act 2 Defiance
Skills (first ~60 or so):
SUMMONING TREE (~22)
Skel Mast, Raise Skel, Skel Mage, Revive: 1 (idea here being to use revives occasionally)
Golem Mast, Clay Golem: ~7 each (slows down dangerous monsters)
Other Golems & SR: 1
Note: If I live long enough I might max Fire Golem and use the Iron Golem to get corpses. That's quite unlikely to work out well anyway.
POISON & BONE SPELLS (~20)
Teeth: 1 (pre); CE: 8-12
Bone Armor:1 (selfish)
Bone Prison & Bone Wall: 3-6 each (crowd control and emergencies handling, also a synergy)
CURSES: (~25)
All curses: 1, but
Decrep, Amp Dam, Lower Res: 4-6 (enough radius in curses to cover Baal's wave in one cast)
Attract, Dim Vision: 3-4 (time!)
The idea here is to help the team as much as possible, and cast CE once corpses are down and if I have enough mana. Hopefully we could get an insight merc at some point, it would make life waaay easier on CE.
I hope to get +4 skills at clvl 50, counting to get something on the wand, shield, ammy, helm and armor. That should make all those spells work somewhat better.
The main difficulty with this build IMHO would be configuring keyboard shortcuts and not getting confused with what to use when. I'm completely open to ideas, and if this char is just plain stupid, let me know too.

Also a post to register my interest, not fully sure so not necessary to keep a spot open for me, but maybe I'll be able to drop by
GMT+1 here.
Cheers
I'm actually now thinking of a Hurricane/Mauler hybrid. I will be strapped for skills, but I should be a pretty good tank given all the +life from Bearform and a synergized cyclone armor. Furthermore, Hurricane kinda acts like Holy Freeze meaning we would be getting its slow earlier and not need an Act 2 merc for it.

I'd like to do a Phoenix Striker but I see Thy already has a Kicksin listed. Maybe a Tri-Elemental Sorc (Max TK, Enchant, FireWall.) No Barbs? Perhaps a throw-barb? I'm open to sugestions.Code:Forum name Char build Timezone Availability Can host?

OK, I've spent the last hour combing through the thread from year ago, and I'm not sure whether my build is what you guys are looking for. If not, let me know.
I'd have no problem being walking curse-caster, but if you'd like me to be able to kill something on my own, I could do either a singer barb or, more preferably, but I don't want to compete with DaveW, a tri-elemental static - glacial spike - firewall sorc.

@Greebo, no problem if you want to be a sorc, I can always go Barb or Pally (Never played a Pally before tho). And for inspiration read here
http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=571462
I was in that party but deed in Act 2 Normal. I'd like another go at a HC party so I'll play whatever the team needs.
We could do with a Barb I think here. I'm open to swapping characters if necessary. I'd like to redo my strenth-sin but could go singer if necessary.Code:Forum name Char build Timezone Availability Can host?

Well if Thy goes Barb, I will definitely go P Striker. Could use a Blessed Aim merc then.
Alright, I thought about it, and decided that having CE would probably make my character to powerful, as stated in HWF1 thread by LprMan. I should have read the whole thing before posting here... :sigh: Well, I guess someone with <100 posts retains the rights to make merc of oneself.Code:Forum name Char build Timezone Availability Can host?

Anyway, since I don't think I'd have fun playing pure Mojomancer with no CE, I would like to switch to SF-GS-FW sorc. This three skills maxed + 1pt in CM, FM, tele, armor, warmth. If I survive long enough to use it, 20 pts in static could be fun and useful. On the plus side I have way more experience playing sorc then other builds, as any beginner does.
