I was wondering which of the necros are the best? (HC)

Bone, Poison, Zookeeper, Golemancer, Curses +++ ?

All tips/hints are most welcome. Hope you all can help me :)

It all depends. How much experience you have playing, what you want to play, everything has an effect on what is "best." I've heard that zookeepers are doing quite well, and they have the advantage of being very good at living. (Skeletons=good meat shields=lots fewer monsters hitting you.) However, the synergies for bone skills make them, IMO, very lucrative. On another hand, Golems, now that they synergize with each other, could be very good. It really depends on what you want!

20 Teeth
1 Corpse Explosion
1 Bone Armor
20 Bone Wall (Cast it in a circle around you and make you own little fort!)
20 Bone Spear
20 Bone Prison (aka "Make act bosses look stupid")
20 Bone Spirit

This build will take to through the whole game if you use Bone Wall and Bone Prison Well.

Don't let glim fool you. The best necro is obviously a curse specialist, with heavy investment in creating a super-golem. Any other necromancer build is second rate, and we all know it.

You obviously never played a meleemancer...


Best Necro? - Gerto - 05-25-2004

I have built those to also. But its fun to see what u think. The meleemancer is cool, but it get a bit boring after a while. Well that how every char goes :P But all of u are talking about PvM chars i c. Have anyone of you built a PvP Poison Necro (SC)? Thats FUN :) hehe and it works to ;)


Best Necro? - Caaroid - 05-25-2004

With enigma, yes. Without... I kill them with my kicksin :)
The problem is, they don't do enough damage. 10k is not enough when one has resist, length reduction and PVP penalty. But they are surprising, yes :)


Best Necro? - Gerto - 05-26-2004

Hehe. I know. Thats why we win. Cus they dont expect it and they dont have items to deal with poison ;)


Best Necro? - Caaroid - 05-26-2004

I can block it :P

My vote also goes for this one, just for old time's sake, if nothing else.
