easier said then done though. Assassins run Hella fast with BOS cast, which is what all bramble sins do vs bone necro's. It isn't possible to stay out of the screen AND hit the assassin, especially with ibs. Of course you can teleport away and stay off his screen indefinitely if you want, but that means you can't shoot much. Once you stop to shoot, even once or twice, he's on you. There is no way you can ibs an assassin with bos either, because you have to be completely off auto map to do that. Basically, if you do what you are saying, the duel would last about 20 minutes. It's a draw, unless you are close enough to hit the assassin. Otherwise, spear/spirits are easy to avoid. If you get close enough to have a good chance of landing hits with em, then you are close enough that you can get Dragon flighted also.

Erm, there are other suggestions that are posted (well mostly) if you don't use Decrepify.

There's always an alternative of moving out of the way and spiriting. Shoot a couple spirits and teleport a little away from them, then spear away if you need to while melee is whirlwinding (applies to WWsin and WWbarb).

For Zealers and Chargers, you just need to be one step ahead of them, and if they're good, they will do massive damage and kill you in 2 hits... Bone Wall will be nice. Teleport. A LOT. Never let them get in your screen and teeth will be a useful thing to use. Mmax block is mostly not needed. I find it nearly useless, as if you were going to die from an attack, you would have died anyway if Melee had a goot hit at you. Of course, if you do go for max block, tell me how it is.

Agreed. Avoid using decrep, or bone walls/prisons, because if you do use those, everybody you duel will just get their sanc shields and slow missle you. Bone necro's that have been slow missled = GG. So if you BM, they BM, and you will most likely lose

Necro's are plenty good enough to win most duels without any curses or walls/prisons. At least, they should be
