The only nerf to bone damage was when they made charges no longer apply synergy bonuses. I believe the nerf was applied partway through 1.10, so maybe 2004-2005.

This was pre-enigma so the main reason necro was good was bone prison. The damage was not the major concern. Without prison you were extremely weak to paladins, barbs, zons and sorcs. Your only decent matchup was druid and sins were not as prevalent in pvp as they are now. People kept running 65 fcr trappers for years after enigma was added.

Necros today reach higher damage now than they did back then, with better frw/fcr/fhr/life/mana and teleport.
