Necro Skill Points

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Being a noob I am wondering where to go from here. I have a L60 Nec playing
in NM Act V. I maxed my Skel Mastery a couple of levels ago. This is what I
have:

0 in Poison
1 in all Bone with 2 in Bone Spirit

1 in all curses

20 in SM
8 in Skels AND Mages
5 in Golem Mastery
2 in Sum Res
1 in all others

I would like to put more into B Spirit for the added damage but would it be
a waste of points? I am also thinking Sum Res and Golem Mastery. How many
more skill points can I expect to get after going through Hell?

Before you spend any more points MAX Raise Skeltons.

Also, I like to add points to Corpse Explosion, nothing quite like helping
to wipe out stuff 3 screens away.

However, max out Raise Skeletons first.

IMHO, 7 wasted on mages, and go max skel warriors. They get more
effective with each added point regardless of how many you actually
raise.

Each additional point get less additional benefit than the previous, so
1+ skills sufficed for me.

Consider maxing Dim Vision to stop ranged attackers from seeing you,
allowing you to control the fight, consider maxing Confusion so the
fight doesn't focus on *you*. Either one is a good use for skill
points.

The spear/spirit question is a matter of taste...

IMHO:
max skel master (as you have)
max skel
max skel mages
1 or two in revives
A Lot of +skills on summoning, focus on that. You're skels will be
*very* powerful and will be able to handle hell very well.
A lot on corpse expl.
Forget bonespirit and the other bonestuff, they're totally useless unles
you max it out

THis is for HC, on SC some other strategy will be better, I dont
know...in HC you will want protection...
