[My pnova necro was lvl 95, i only played him for 3 months during the first 9 month ladder. He ended up in the top 50 necros of USwest sc realm in that ladder. So I know what I'm talking about as do the people who have posted here.
You must max the pnova synergies. So there goes 60 skill points. You will need to get down to LR on the curse tree, and then just one pt there may not be enough. Amp is a good skill for parties, so is decrep, like I said I never got dimvision, never needed it with my revives + merc + gumby golem + decrep. That is one way to do crowd control and assure u will survive even if ur connection drops. So u are looking at about 10 skill pts spent on curses
If there are any corpses around, it cannot be overemphasized how powerful CE is good to reduce their numbers and stun them. More CE=greater range and more damage. Its the fastest way in the game to do big damage to monsters. One pt in bonearmor and maybe a few more in bonewall will give u decent melee damage protection. Skellies or revives and some pts in skelmast and summonresist and such all add up! You are looking at maybe another 10+ skill pts spent on the summons tree. To get good BA synergy and CE and the skelmast/sumres and some minions u will be spending around 16 skill pts on this tree.
Add it all up! You have spent around 80-86 skills already and there really isnt alot left over for you to start building up a 'backup attack' with bone skills. You dont need it. You can get firewall off the Trangs, u can use a barb or act2 merc with decrep weapon or might or holy freeze or with an elemental damage weapon. I would follow the other guys advice and not bother with a fire golem, use gumby, the clay golem for slowdown and get the firewall instead... It will save u 2 skill points in NOT getting the not-very-good fire golem.
