Another infrequent dabble in Necromancy

[Guest]

Look out, the sky is falling, Hammy is playing a necromancer!

For some unknown reason, the other day I started a bone necromancer, and have
been playing him daily, in between doing some magic find and tweaking my
frenzy barbarian. Quite fun so far. Airbone is currently level 66 and
halfway through act 1 hell. I decided to max Teeth just for fun, plus of
course it's a synergy anyway, so... Bone Spear is maxed, as is Bone Wall.
Bone Armour currently on has one hard point but is doing good things thanks to
all the points in Bone Wall. Bone Prison has no points in it so far.
Four points in the curses tree, to get Decrepify. No points in the summoning
tree.

I have enough Strength to use a pair of Marrowwalks (not that I have any right
now), and absolutely everything else in Vitality. Insight mercenary (Emilio,
of course)... kind of hard to run the mana ball dry (or heck, even make it
move) with him around. About 900 life at present, with minimal twinking of
charms.

An interesting diversion from my usual builds, just like the singer barbarian
has been recently, too.



In other news, Dalai is currently playing a Fireball throwing amazon. Funny
stuff.

Thanks. I actually had that account in my list for a while, but you just
never ever seemed to be online when I was, so I removed it again.

And another follow on... just when exactly do you play on battle.net?

Airbone's Bone Spear damage underwent a significant increase once he put the
new booties on, so he's happy as Larry, whoever he is.

A Lounge Lizard of some kind, I think. Probably why he was so happy.

Thought that was Vic, the Lounge Lizard that is. Maybe Larry is his cousin?

Well, skellimancers have an endless supply of corpses, so maybe that's what he
is.

And how's skellimancer build #8406 going, by the way?

I agree, it's great. The first four developed characters on my current play
account all have a mercenary with Insight.

Hehe. An eth harly is still a lot better than no harly. Good find.

Indeed a +1 pair would do just fine as I have no summoning skills.
