What character do you have now? Might be nice to have a character with a different playstyle or something that can fight your other character’s counter matchups

Yea im kinda leaning towards nec now. I just dont love leveling them. But i guess nec dont need 99


Nah Necro needs every level teeth, bone spear, bone spirit then choose 2 skills which benefit dmg per point, then how many points into Bone Armor? Just clay golem or iron? Amplify Dmg... for team fights.

Extra's like lower res & Iron golem could come from White, no one really goes for iron golem clay golem is dope because of the slow, and nothing else is necessary. (I Think iron golem is meant for PvM More any ways)

6 skills worth maxing are

Teeth
Bone spear
Bone Spirit
Bone Wall for dmg requisite
Bone Prison for dmg requisite
Bone Armor

i guess you have similiar problems if you go ES Sorc.

Any char over level 95 is just to much of a grind for me

I like hybrid java

2 setups mostly:

Maxblock 43% dr 68 fcr 95 ias 30 fhr:
2/2/30 fools rep javelin
Stormshield 15/15
2 ama 20 fcr Dex life 2 soc diadem 30/30
2 java 20 ias dex str kb gloves
Shadow dancers 25 dex
Enigma dusk/wyrm
2/18 dex life amu
Arach
Raven
10 fcr str dex mana fr pr ring
Java sks 42-44 life
10x 20/4 sc
Torch anni

99 fcr 52 fhr 55 ias high damage non block setup:
Griffon cham
2/2/30 fools rep javelin
Spirit monarch
2/19 @ str amu
Aldur boots
2 java 20 ias knockback str gloves
Arach
2x bk5
Enigma dusk/wyrm

Second setup gets you like 9500 cs damage with valk meatshield, 99 fcr 4800 life 60k plague

You can impale to bm if needed for 50% slow, you can slow missile to bm casters if needed. So if played well you can’t really die, if people decide to absorb you, you just 1 hit them with plague

If they both absorb and spam antidotes you just impale/slow missile and avoid them

Pretty good all round pub char too, the fools gives you a lot of attack rating with penetrate so you constantly knockback your enemies on cs hits

Works too, Ama’s are pretty good now, I just hate the cube Bo hence why I play this instead ^^ but you can play multihybrid Tele Bowie too, I think gel has a good guide on it for d2r

Melee necro.


Melee necros are super fun but equally as expensive as zon and barb
