starter necro

hi there

I started off a soso on europe classic ladder but I really find sosos boring, so I was thinking of going nec instead, with a plan like

20 skellies
20 skellie mastery
20 bone spear
20 bone spirit
1 clay golem
1 amp damage
1 attract
rest corpse explosion

Bone spells to get 1st kill, skellies + amp to do the job afterwards, CE to blast stuff. Standard equip with some mf stuff mixed up.

How about it? A bore to play or liveable?

A single point in attract is enough to get your army started.
Skellies alone won't cut it in Hell(they do enough damage when you have 10 of them, but they just don't have enough life), you need mages for their elemental damage and revives for their meatshield properties.
When I go for skellies, I just go for them all the way. Does it show that I like Zookeepers ?

[Lorg]

i would say that it's nice until Hell -> solution make standard zoo keeper for normal and nm. Respeck for Hell into either bonemancer or mojomancer. Bone if u aim for pvp and mojomancer if u plan to CS as a support char

thx all.

well, this project is a bit delayed given my busy life lately. Meanwhile I'm enjoying my soso a bit more. Turning her into a blizzballer. 1 synergy per main skill and rest in static/warmth

Aah man, this spells disaster. Hybrid sorcs are far from a power build in classic, big challenge to get hell grade level.. this 1 synergy thing is no good if you want decent damagei n hell

[sirwhere]

Well, what can I do? If I go just 1 tree, there are immunes. Ok, there are some 2 tree builds that are better than blizzballer (orb/hydra for instance), but this is a new build to me, which I think might be fun.

I don't plan on playing many 8 player games anyway, so the build seems good enough on paper. If it goes wrong on practice.. well, I do get 3 respecs

if you can get help killing the cold immune council guy in hell, there is no need for non-cold skills for generic mf.. Everything else that is cold immune can be skipped(except hell seis, but again, even dual tree sorcs are terribly slow/unable to do solo cs)
