Yeah, and even after all this time playing the game I still see stuff
that I haven't noticed before (note that I didn't say haven't *seen*
;-) ).

That's actually back in Act 1, but you don't want to (and can't) go
there until you've beaten Baal.

As long as you found Izual, you probably haven't.

Well, Mickey and I have gone round and round on the relative merits of
both (and I do have to admit he has a lot more experience with a Necro
than I'll *ever* have), but I like the Bone Spear's piercing attack,
where he likes the heavier hitting of the Spirit (I *think* that's
right, it's the level 18 (or 24?) one that pierces, the level 30 one
that doesn't, and it's late and I need to get to bed). You may need to
put more points into them to see the effective killing power they
have, which you *will* need later if you don't now, assuming you don't
have a lot of + skills stuff yet.

I like the Blood Golem too, at least until I get the Fire one, which
in AR I found I *had* to have to get past Baal in Normal, so I've kind
of grown fond of him ;-) Again, though, assuming you have a fair
amount of + skills, I'd think one hard point in each would be enough,
if you want to make them better I'd think Golem Mastery would be a
better investment. But since you're getting 2 points to play with for
each level, I doubt you've screwed it up *too* badly ;-)
I don't know, though, as I've almost never *used* the Iron Golem
except as the pre-requisite for Fire. As a matter of fact, I *think*
my regular LoD Necro is the first one that I've actually made an Iron
Golem with, and that's just been playing around waiting to get his
Fire Golem.
