I found Bone Armor to be unnecessary, but then again I'm not really that far yet, plus it's softcore, so I guess I just have less reason to be cautious. Plus, for Bonewall and Bone Prison to be at their best, you need a ranged attack, which I guess a Dagger Mancer could do, at that - Poison Nova, or put your Dex to use and string up a Cruel bow of some kind.
For Poison immunes, does poison at least stop regen? Anyway, how I would handle them is to first, confound them with curses, then let my merc go to town with a Crescent Moon Scythe or, since I probably won't have that, a Scythe with a bunch of Topazes in it. Jab + Elemental damage = 3x Elemental damage. Then when you get a corpse, well, I don't have to tell you what to do with it :ph34r: Attract would be good to get the first corpse(es), or, like I said, put your dex to use and get a bow.
Now for bone A/W/P, I seem to recall that they are a bit bugged, the synergies give straight HP, rather than a %. Now, I would be happy to have a beefy BA, at least, but I find most of my points go into poison skills, to maintain their damage vs. tougher and tougher enemies. I actually find AI curses terribly effective. So I'm wondering, How did you allocate your skill points, Ahvae'el? What were your PD stats, how long does it take to kill, and how is everything working out in H-E-double-hockeystick? Such info would be vastly appreciated :D
