Alright folks. Here's version 3 of my guides. This will be the last for a while. In this guide there are 2 parts. Max block builds. And non-max block builds. I'll explain both, and a few other things more in depth. Lets get started.

Breakpoints

FHR:
Frame - FHR

13 - 0%
12 - 5%
11 - 10%
10 - 16%
9 - 26%
8 - 39%
7 - 56%
6 - 86%
5 - 152%
4 - 377%

FCR:
Frame - FCR

15 - 0%
14 - 9%
13 - 18%
12 - 30%
11 - 48%
10 - 75%
9 - 125%

Useful Terms

FHR = Faster Hit Recovery
FCR = Faster Cast Rate
BS = Bone Spear (sometimes referred to as Bone Spirit, but not very often)
IBS = Invisible Bone Spear
Golem Glitch* = We'll get more into this later on in this guide
US Lock* = Unsummon Lock, Again we'll get more into this later on.
BA = Bone armor
T/S = Refers to a type of Necro vs Necro dueling. (Teeth/spear only)

Max Block Build:


Skills

Teeth - 20
Bone Spear - 20
Bone Spirit - 20
Bone Prison - 20
Bone Wall - 20
Clay Golem - 1
Golem Mastery - 1
Amplify Damage - 1
Prereqs - 2

You may put a point into revive and Iron Maiden if you choose to. I'll get more on to this later.

W/o Vives, IM you should have all skills maxed by 93-94. (I choose not to max wall out completely, the damage difference is very small)

Stats

Strength - None
Dexterity - 200 (This is max block)
Vitality - Everything else
Energy - None

Gear

Helm

08 Valk - Simply put. We all know what this is. I suggest you socket it with either a shael, or like my current setup, a 7fhr/15 all res jewel.

If you can't afford an 08 valk, try for a nice 2socket necro circ. And dual shael it. (40 fhr) Then use some PnB fhr's for the extra fhr. (you'll need to use mages to hit the right bp)

Armor

Enigma - Any low strength enigma works fine. (BP, MP, LP, Dusk Looks real ugly) You cannot use an AP nigma with this build. Unless you don't mind glitching your gear on.

Boots

Grim Spurs - 19 strength, 20 fhr, resist. What else would you want? (Vtramps are also useable. No guarantee on base strength though)

Sshanks - If you really want the res and can make up for the fhr elsewhere

Treks - Decent boots, lacking res though.

Gloves

Bloodfists - 40 life, 30fhr. Enough said.

Mages - Only use if you cant get an 08 valk!

Shield

Ber'd Stormshield - Indestructable shield. 43% DR when Ber'd. A total of 51% with SS/Enigma. And max block

Belt

Arach - 1 skill, 20 fcr. Enough said.

Weapon

Hoto - 3 skills, 40fcr, Oak charges, and up to 40 res all.
Wizzy - If you REALLY need the stacked res. Wouldn't suggest this

Amulet

Storm Circlet - 2 skills, 20fcr, 18 str, res. Beautiful.

Rings

2x FCR rings. Bmasters work nicely here as they have great res and high mana. Any nice rings will work as well. (Get some nice dex rings and you can save some stats for vita)

Wep Switch

6BO Cta - More life
Spirit - 2skills. Higher BO.

Charms

19+/19+ Necro Torch
19+/19+ Anni
9x PnB GCs. Preferably Lifers
10x 20life/5res scs. 20/11's work just as nice.

Stash

Sorb if you please. (I choose not to sorb as it's not really needed)
8bs white + Mages + Necro circlet + 35 FCR spirit monarch (For NvN of course. =)) May toss BK's on for some extra life.

Quote

I just think maybe use soj+raven+magafist is better than the bloodfist+2xfcr rings.

Raven sucks on a caster.

What's this golem glitch you're talking about?
