Does any one know somewhat of a build outline/leveling guide for a curse necro?

I think you'll just torture yourself with levelign as curse if it's even possible, summoner > pb > poison > whatever left for leveing a necro
Even for end game with top tier gear you'll fall far behind other meta builds, if you map with a group it's a good support but that's it basically
The mana cost and apm needed to cast and trigger 4-5 curse to kill anything is not worth it, even more so that with full gear you get about 2-3k dmg/curse detonated on a mob which is not that much again

ya i get its a bit niche, but i think the dmg more or less comes from the combo of curses as much as dark pact. Ie, confuse/ironmaiden/amp dmg. Its more for the fun factor and different style of gameplay. Plus support could be fun to. I decided to lvl as summoner and give curses a try at around lvl 60-80 depending how board i get with summoner. However i did manage to find a couple testimonies of lvling with curse etc. once you get an a2 merc apparently its doable. I personally couldn't make it passed andy reasonably so i respeced into summon to make the journey a little easier. Maybe even try a golem/curse hybrid of somekind. only been playing pd2 for a couple days so don't really uderstand the drops/changes and what to shoot for as far as gear and charms etc. I figure curse necro is just +skills and fcr.

Yeah but it sucks, as stated above your damage is far too low. 2k dmg for getting three curses on mobs then purging them doesn't feel too great but maybe i was doing something wrong. Bone spear/bone spirit also feels a little lack luster tbh. If they made bone spear "shotgun" like holy bolt is doing atm it would be very op but alas it isn't so it's not. Using teeth in the bonespear build will outdamage a full curse necro atleast from my testing. Poison + max revives has felt too me like the best build. I've heard full skeleton summon necro feels nice. Full fire golem with full trangs can also push okay damage and be relatively safe. Poison build really only needs 60 skill points to max all synergies but if you want at around level 85-90 you'll have all your synergies maxed, revives maxed and double curse stacks on mobs possible for lower res/amp in team mapping

ya curse was fun,especially in team. but not quite enough dmg. switched to poison but gave up on necro and moved on to sin. better for solo. Curse is fun though and the mana expense isnt that bad, just too much down time between popping them. maybe with full skillers or something might be better. i'll re visit it when i have a bit more currenct/gear

yeah idk what it is but necro just doesn't feel great imo nothing like holy bolt/auradin or combustion sorc. Does it kill everything in the game? yes. Does it do it as fast as other classes? No. Does it do it safer then other classes? Debatable
Though i will say once you get like 21k+ psn nova damage and one psn nova kills cows it clears cows pretty dang fast. just run around psn nova a group and run to next group your loot filter will lyk if anything good drops >.<
