Dream won’t be doing any damage without synergies/mastery/conviction. You’re stuck with a regular attack and low damage.

As with pretty much any build it can work, but it’s going to suck. You could try making a poison dagger necro..?

some guy in the players vs monster forum did an entire run with a melee nec. curses only and golem iirc. name's slipping my mind.

basically once he got the hell each and every map was an insanely long crawl. iirc he also built titan.

Any necromancer as a melee character cannot be as strong as a physical character because this class doesn't have many defence and life unlike as a barbarian, a paladin and even a wolf or bear druid. Either of these casters, sorceress (for zeal) and necromancer (for Werebear via Beast), aren't very solid as a real physical character.

Merc alone can solo the game on player 8, so yes,any build you do can work

Botd, andariels and carrion wind for poison nova
Triple trang oul for extra bonus
Make it either bear or not but there will be fuckloads of fully synergized novas flying

Ok, I'll bite...

You want a pdagger nec w/ treachery + 3pc trangs. Venom synergizes extremely well with pdagger because its large spike damage (typically applied over a fraction of a second) is instead applied to the ENTIRE duration of pdagger which is much longer. The usual weapon is blackbogs. Fleshripper is also decent for phys damage oriented-build esp if paired with other CB gear. Fury FK is decent too. I've seen some creative ideas here...for example, using a chance to flee dagger to send the monster back into the pack where he dies and opens an opportunity to cast CE..

If you don't want dagger, your best bet is a rare feral axe or similar 2hander w/ insane mods + fools. You put 20pts in DV and 1 pt amp. Blind the screen and amp only the mobs you want to engage. Note also that longer ranged weapons can swing over bonewalls.

If you want to go the CTC route, search for Master Zappy's bone bear guide. Synergized BS from Oath or Bonehew could work too. Synergized pnova can work in odd ways... E.g. w/ Andy's visage you can literally kill the screen by standing in a fire to proc L15 Novas...

Use your creativity...

Brand runeword werebear nec can do it, botd runeword bear can do it

You're not really a nec at that point, just a werebear, but that's the fastest way
