compared to a strong caster the progress speed is not that good, but compared to a meelee champ its OK. somewhere in the middle I would say. I have to cast a lot of novas to kill something but I cast fast so its OK I guess. without ladder RWs it would be impossible IMO on P8. the insight is crucial to have, without it don't even try to respec to novamancer, you will run out of mana in 2-3 seconds
overall it is a fun to play char.
+ one more thing: I feel like every hit I take is a crit, it takes down 100-200 hp/hit, depending on monster type. I started to put points into dex and hopefully I can find a nice shield to achieve maxblock, it will surely help a lot.


moment of truth


ahh fuck you


ooo this was another pain in the ass fight. 5-6 minutes I think

made a strenght to see if it helps vs Meph and its not much better compared to my insight (on P3 reruns ofc)



Double hwanin belt drop lol. something you dont see every day


there are the 2 belts

next run, double mesh armor and double studded leather drop! at least the Shaftstop is a real upgrade, also with nice ED. sadly not eth

Not sure about your exact setup. I use revives as meatshield on my poison mancer.
If you do as well you could get some urdars in durance lvl 2 before killing meph. They have crushing blow and should increase your killspeed a lot.

gg advice, thats really useful!

Haha, I have no "exact setup" yet. To use revives is a good idea for sure, I need 2 more lvls to unlock them I have 1 point in skeletons but 0 in mages yet.
Revives can be useful even later I guess...
Thanks for the advice!

I prefer Revives as meatshields on a novamancer as they're a lot more tanky, and pretty much a one-point-wonder. Also yeah, as Chronic says, urdars are sick boss killers.

Only problem of course is their pathfinding, definitely need a source of tele for stomping and to stop them wandering off and disappearing!

I found novamancer on /p8 real painful going without Death's Web, annoying for SP purposes that it's so ridiculously rare.

Great progress anyway bud, always enjoy seeing a novamancer WT.

I made a little progress, killed Izual so I can point a point in revives. they are great meatshields, thats right. havent tried a meph run with urdards. I spent a lot of time to find a good meph map and now you guys are telling me to stay in durancelvl2 longer :D. I'll try that but I will see, maybe finding urdas will take longer as killing meph with my merc
(btw on the switch I have a tp staff so telestomping should not be a problem)

nice charm upgrade


exceptional set item, but not what I'm after


another one

will use this on my merc I guess, LL and MF+ small ias (rolled 45mf)


Lum from a chest. highest so far


lets make an iron golem and see waht happens

well, nothing happened. the golem was dead in 5 seconds at meph

Titans... again not a Necromancer stuff


pretty good roll, too


first poi immunes awaiting me. (btw their immunity was broken with my lower res)
