this.
U cant hit 250+ cold stack with your setup so 2x 30-40cold resi jwls instead of double ohm is the way to go.
Another thing is even double ber'd circlett doesn;t provide enought survivability vs zons, pals, barbs and drus ,especially if we add very low life poll (im curious how its possible that u dont hit at least 3,3k life... do u use life skillers at all?)
If u can, edit that guide and add coa berber (or ber/Jah if u feel that 46dr is enought) + dungo setup (20fcr amy + 10fcr/str ring will be needed to hit 125fcr along with hoto).
I luv that orange colour of layout... it makes me feel like eating a peach while reading this text, but proper one would be light-green, dont u think?;)
All in all its very good guide and I'm glad that someone at least dared to wirte one (Im too lazy to do that myself;O) cuz S&G@jsp section has missed that one for a long long time:)
I like that u pointed out all those important things like using clay fatty through the whole duel but switching to fire one when opponent's bleeded out to 1 hp, etc.
Btw - It would be even more awesome if u would add such table of tested dmg vs common builds, cuz the amount of nova to be casted vs certain opponents determins the tactic and the setup!
For example if the dmg setup (28 dr double bered circlett) bleeds out common 8k life bvc in 1 shot than switching to coaberber dr setup which bleeds him out in 2-3 shots than the dmg setup is much better.
Also if 2 novas of hoto setup bleeds out common 5k life hammerdin that changes the tactic drasticly compared to dweb -1 shot setup!
Those are just the examples but confirmed infomation in tactic section of how many novas u need to land to leave particular build with 1 hp would help A LOT!
Unfortunately I can no longer edit it the post =/
Wish I could because there are a few other typo's brought to my attention
for amulets, it should be 2nec/10-20fcr/ etc etc not 2pnb/10-20fcr (lol thanks corey)
as for the stack, would you suggest using light/fire jewels for the other pnb circs as well?
and the ber/ber coa+dungos setup would cap you off at 50 with nigma's dr if I'm not mistaken.
I should have added it in there, but personally, the thought of the loss of +4 to PnB skills has me torn between the 2.
I can't check at this exact moment, but that seems like a pretty decent amount of lost damage.
I can also see how it would be a good sacrifice though. It's going to jack up the cost though that's for sure.
50 dr, more vita, good resistance, extra stats depending on the amulet and ring you decide to go with, 86 fhr easy to achieve.
I'm going to have to do some more playing around and experimenting with CoA to see if all of that is worth the lost damage.
Now I'm also thinking of different switches to potentially hit 125fcr/156fhr at all times without cutting out anymore damge..LOL!
As for my low life in the screenshot,
About a month or so ago I was short on FG and needed to part out most of my Nova nec to help fund my sorc, so I've been in the process of rebuilding him again.
A few days before I decided to write up this guide, I did a mass name transfer and have been in the process of re-leveling ALL of my characters.
So in the screenshot shown at the top my necro was only level 81, uncompleted quests, and had temporary low 30 lifers and 17/5's for an inventory.
And NOW, I got a new name for my necro that I'm much more pleased with, so I restarted him completely AGAIN. He is currently level 11.
Once I hit level 90+ I will post my necro's gear and stats on this thread
I love the orange/white layout using the black/orange jsp background, it's my favorite.
Last but not least. Once my necro is 100% finished and ready, I will do some dedicated testing with the different damage outputs and such against different build types.
That will take some time.
Thanks for posting man, I love your criticism
