Alright, it's been a long time since I've made anything other than a Sin. But I wanna mix it up a bit. We have a Summon Necro in our group. So I thought I'd give a shot at a Bone Necro.
I want to have a Golem if I could, but people tell me even that is a waste of skill points. Is this true? And which bone spells should I be spending on? What gear do you recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Invest skills into bone spear and bone spirit. and the syngeries (or w.e that word is) . if i played diablo more often, but i havent played in like years.
Don't spend any point in golems, you won't have enough left anyway
20 teeth (max up last)
20 bone spear
20 bone wall
20 bone prison
20 bone spirit
put points in the curses of your choice (Lower Resist doesn't lower magic so don't use it)
1 in bone armor is enough and will absorb +600 damage with synergies
also eventually bone spear will become stronger than bone spirit so if your going pvm max it later
For the gear I won't go too deep in the specifics but for the wand go to Act 2 in normal and reroll Drognan until you get a +3 bone spear bone wand (it can take a while if you're not lucky) and get it socketed by Larzuk then make a White with it (Dol + Io). It will give you a whooping + 7 to bone spear and it's terribly cheap.
Ive seen ppl own wit act1 merc. They just tele around the enemy and let the rougue fire away. The merc either hasm windforce or that 1 runeword thats amazing for bows. I remember it gives u Fantasm.
Hmm, by the time I read this I spent one on clay golem. I figured it would slow things down and provide me with another decoy. But I'm not so fanatical to start over. I like my fubby clay golem.
But yes, the synergies sound good. And I put one in amplify and figure the +1 all skill items I'll get will make the radius large enough to suffice. Thanks for th info guys.
i say go for it. Do what you want to do =]. Screw making a perfect b.net necro, have fun with it. if ou want a golem then get your ass a golem. Im sure you can work it out to where it works fine.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.

I know blood golem and this curse ( forgot name ) really good combo.!
Sadly they fukked up the combo in 1.10
pre 1.10 the damage inflicted back by iron maiden gained your golem and you health. But now it is only blood golems damage that gains health and the damage is rather low. So back in the days 1 point in blood golem and max IM was actually quite nice. Then add max CE and a few revives and when first mob dies to IM switch amp and CE
sadly this as well as many other builds are not viable at least in hell.
Amplify increases the damage enemies take from everything.
Actually, Amplify Damage reduces a monsters Physical Resistance by 100%. Since Bone spells are magical, Amplify wouldn't help.

Lower Resist doesn't affect immunities. I'm not even sure it affects magical resistance.
Lower resist doesn't affect Magic Resist, however it does affect immunities, but as always when breaking only works at 1/5 effectiveness. Thus a monster only needs 113 in any elemental resist to be impervious to a lvl 20 Lower Resist.

well, if your doing group games with less pvp mindedness go for a golem...clay sounds to be the best too.
stats are real simple.
str - enough to equip
dex - " " and max block
vit - a lot
energy - depends on gear, none if you have big increases, or 50% if your going fundless
umm im not sure if amp dmg helps out bone spells.

And is Lower Resist worth spending on for a Bone Necro? Cause I'm wondering if it has any effect on immunes.
