I'm not sure why anyone would ever say bone armor for a PD necro is a mistake.
I for one think it is an essential benefit for a PD necro. One point in Bone Armor and one point in Bone Wall and Prison can work ABSOLUTE WONDERS.
Being able to poison creatures, curse them, separate yourself from them completely, and take virtually no damage from their attacks due to physical damage absorb and blocking is a commodity not to be ignored.
I highly suggest all PD necros to invest at least one point in each of these skills. They are highly worthwhile, especially for act bosses, uniques, and champions.
My PD necro is hardcore, and in Hell A5 (approaching ancients), level 76. He plays on players 1 or 2, sometimes 3 if I am in a particularly easy area with many obstacles for monsters.
His tactics of fleeing while doing considerable damage, coupled with the bone skills you dismissed, have allowed him to live all this time without any twinks or deaths (obviously, heh, with the hardcore).
Your emerald Kris makes me happy :D
They are indubitably the most stylish of weapons; I'm hoping to come across a Blackbog's sharp but I currently use Spineripper. A wizardspike wouldn't be too shabby either :o :lol:
Anyone have good tactics for poison immunes? I usually switch to players 1, take out my 3 Pgem Cinquedas, and ride out the extended madness. It's really quite boring.
Buena Suerte!
