Best against bone necros?

[premature tyrant]

What is the best character for fighting against bone necros and why?
Sorry if that sounds stupid. I'm new to this PvP thing and I hear bone necros are the best, but I want to know if there is a character better than a bone necro.

FB sorcs are great as long as the necro does not wear to much fire absorb gear.

Trap sins usually do well also.

If the necro has 95%max resist and/or stacked resist(in case vs foher or cold sorc), elemental attackers are not effective. absorb is not needed.

@premature tyrant: any type of casters has a good chance of beating bone necro in a match (best of 5, 7 or whatever); it depends on the players. Despite popular believes that necro owns hammerdin, I personally think that hammerdin has arguably the best chance (out of all other casters) of winning a match versus necro. This belief may be biased because I am never at the control of a wind druid before.

id have to agree. a good liberator/pure hammer has the best chance, along with a wind druid.

A good ww sin will give a necro a run for their money.

trap assassins and foh unless absorb

Against an extremely good tweaked necro, Hybrid trap assassians have the best chance. That's the ONLY thing that kill in public games. In ch it's a different story...

Every other elemental char can be countered. Especially foh pallies.

no one mention about a bonemancer killing another bonemancer? i thought a bonemancer is good at killing another one as well.

[IsNOTShevlock]

That'd be kind of... redundant since obviously they would have an equal chance of killing each other if they are the same build/skill level...

Anyway, assuming a gm duel with not mass absorb/overstacked resists, I think fire and orb sorcs have the best shot.

[awjl]

well, not that redundant, when 2 bonemancers fight, i believe it comes down to who has faster cast and more life. or also depends on who is using the minon stacking bug.

Edit: wrong spelling.
