I checked this thread earlier and you were level 1, now you are like 74


Yep, farm NM meph. Takes a while but its worth it. Obedience on the merc will carry you to baal. Insight iron golem, but I personally don't think its viable with Bone spear. Your damage will blow if you pump into a strong golem. He will die way too often though if you don't.

IMO, best bet is insight on your merc, decrepify, and bone prison when needed. Progress should be okay once you get some decent drops from NM meph. I used Fire golem for the holy fire aura, it seemed to attract monsters instead of my merc taking all the hits. Up to you though, clay golem for the slow is great as well.

Obediance on merc, clay golem together with curses like decrip/amp, ce and then bonewall+spear and hell is cake:)

There is mana potions for a reason. No need insight.

how do u have 1xx mana so early in the game? (3rd pic and so on)

doesn't make sense unless u spent points into energy

He spent some points into energy early and then resetted at some point.

Awesome WT I love bonemancers

Yeah the only option is farming meph/andy or dunno worldstone keep (nm)?

I didn't want to post the thread too early in case of an early RIP I agree that NM Meph is probably my best bet. I can kill him safely and consistently, it just isn't fast. If I get some half decent merc upgrades from him (Rockstopper, Shaftstop, Duriel's Shell, etc) then Hell will be a whole lot easier.


If I find a nice 5os base I will definitely make an Obedience for my merc (no other use for the runes really, other than cubing up). The potion chugging will be real...


I dumped my first 35 stat points into Energy to get 60 points total, and then pumped Vita after that until I reset my stats in early NM. Here's a link to my stats before the reset showing the hard points in energy: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=72792317&f=161&p=491068158


Thanks

I will be back with some updates next weekend!

This is just super swell

Updates!

I spent about 30 minutes rolling a perfect map for Meph. So nice not having to worry about running into a pack of dolls on the way.



Run #3: Hwanin's armor. The armor and life alone makes it an upgrade for my merc armor. That static field would be a lot nicer if it were 25% or so...



Run #8: !!!!!!!!!!!!

So fucking lucky!!!!!!!! I was speechless when I saw this drop. GFace after less than 10 runs when I desperately needed a source of CB. I should go buy lottery tickets.



Run #18: Kill speed is WAY faster with crushing blow.



Not your typical caster belt but I like the survivability. My old belt was a plain +life 4 row belt so it's actually a pretty nice upgrade.

Run #39: Arreat's



Run #44: Gores. There are some melee players that hate my guts right now...



Run #47: Unique Ring...

Run #48: Kelpie. If I was anything but a Necromancer this would be a nice find.



Run #55: Another unique wand, I wonder if it will be total garbage???
