Alright, for starters this guide is only for east NL until I found out what items to use on ladder and europe/west NL to replace the east NL items in here.
This guide will tell you what items to use, what skills to put in, what attributes to put in, and what merc to use.

Items against casters (sorcs, hammys, etc.):
Armor - Enigma
Helm - .08 valk OR +2 necro/20% fcr/2x shaeled circlet (or whatever jewels you want to put into the circlet)
Belt - Arach mesh
Rings - BK ring + fcr ring w/15+ strength OR BK ring + SoJ (if you can wear everything without the extra strength on the fcr ring)
Amulet - Storm Circlet
Gloves - Trang's gloves
Boots - Grim Spurs
Weapon - Death Web OR hoto (if you can't get death web)
Shield - 35% fcr spirit monarch
Switch - cta + any spirit monarch
Charms - 9x PnB lifers OR 3-4 FHR PnB lifers w/the rest PnB lifers (if you're going to use fhr pnbs to hit the breakpoint then use the rest of the spaces for the PnB Lifers), 20 life scs, ntorch, anni

Items against melee (ww barbs, smiters, etc.):
Armor - Enigma
Helm - .08 valk OR +2 necro/20% fcr/2x shaeled circlet (or whatever jewels you want to put into the circlet)
Belt - Arach mesh
Rings - BK ring + fcr ring w/15+ strength OR BK ring + SoJ (if you can wear everything without the extra strength on the fcr ring and if you use .08 valk instead of the circlet)
Amulet - Storm Circlet
Gloves - Trang's gloves
Boots - Grim Spurs
Weapon - HoTo Flail (or w/e low req hoto you can use)
Shield - Ber'd SS
Switch - Cta + any spirit monarch
Charms - 9x PnB lifers OR 3-4 FHR PnB lifers w/the rest PnB lifers (if you're going to use fhr pnbs to hit the breakpoint then use the rest of the spaces for the PnB Lifers), 20 life scs, ntorch, anni

Skills:
20 Lower Resists
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Dagger
20 Poison Explosion
1 Bone Armor
1 Bone Prison (against hammys or smiters without enigma)
1 into every summoning skill

Attributes:
Strength - 0
Dexterity - Enough to have max block with SS until you stop lvling
Vitality - All into this after you have max block with SS
Energy - 0

Merc:
Use a fire merc from A3 and equip him with these items:
Armor - Dragon Archon Plate (or w/e dragon armor he can use)
Helm- Dream Bone Visage (or w/e dream helm he can use)
Shield - Dream Troll Nest (or w/e dream shield he can use)
Weapon - Hands of the Justice Crystal Sword (or w/e HoJ sword he can use, it must be a sword)
I'm sure most of you are familiar with a gmerc and how to use it. If not, I'll tell you how to use a gmerc.
To use a gmerc get the merc I have mentioned and make him use those items. Then keep re-equipping his armor and shield for 1-2 minutes on each item. Your merc should do massive damage after those 1-2 minutes with lower resists. It will not show how much damage he does, but you'll see when you tele around with him.

You should be around level 87 to get every skill, I'm lazy to add them all up.

Future Updates:
- Useable on all realms and on ladder

Godly mike

You Know You Don't Hit The FCR Bp With Your Melee Setup Right?

Use 2x FCR/Life/Mana Rings With SS.

I think BP is 125? I'm not sure.
You reach bp with .08 valk (or circlet), hoto, arach, trangs gloves, storm circlet, and 1 fcr ring if you switch the valk with the circlet.

And I forgot to put in belt on the guide, silly me.

That Must Be Why It Didn't Add Up To 125.

Bump For Mikes Sex Necro

Psh.. No One Likes Necros?

I'v done this nec now.. but I'v maxed Fire golem and not put skills into each summons (his aura is nice and you won't need a3 merc(ppl often don't pvp with merc))
and if you do have skeletons.. then they'r very weak and will die - then you'll have to kill some monsters and get new.. but in some cases you dont have time for this.

so my tip is: max fire golem - his Holy Fire aura will kill the player when Nova has done the work to 1 life ;P

had two of these,one last season and one this season.
screw all them summons,why would you want them,1 point into revive for meat shield is all you need.
as for killing them when they are at 1 hp,simple,either use teeth which spreads wide,or summon the fire golem,which usually dies very fast and is not to cheap to cast.
imo teeth is better since you can cast it on the move for way less than the golem.

its also not neccessary to max lower res,since at higher lvls it only goes up the tiniest bit,allowing you to put more into bone prison for 2 reasons.
1)it gives more life to your bone prison for the few unfortunate enough to not have a means to tele
2)pumps up your bone armors max dmg sorb.

other than that,your right on the money.

This guide is mostly based on gmerc since mostly everyone on east who has it, loves to use it.
Buffing your gmerc for 4-5 minutes will give you way more damage than if you maxed fire golem. This will save you a lot of skill points.

Summons is to lag them, even with a little amount of skeles it seems to lag some/most people.
I really only use vives vs fc and sorcs.
