The problem with Death's Web is 0%FCR(yeah you'd never think they would design a caster weapon without FCR but they did). If it had 20% FCR it would at least be viable. You could use it in PvM, but in PvM all you need is Amplify Damage, Skeletons and corpse explosion. To get 125% FCR with DW would require - 20 gloves, 20 rings, 20 belt, 35 spirit, 20 circlet and 10+ amulet. I think that is too much gear investment and you loose 2 skills to skeletons, if you use hoto then 3.

White could be a viable option as you could get to the 125fcr bp with: white 20, gloves 20, belt 20, spirit 35, circlet 20 and 1 ring. I guess you could use some white setup against melee opponents as the 75(90) resist from Wizzardspike and a HUGE boost in mana is just something not worth giving up against casters.

I know I'm being quite aggresive in some dueling points but some opponents are just autowin, it's like you would duell a bow ama without enigma with a bone nec and use bone prison. They just CAN'T win.

death web can not be combined with 125 fcr setup?

lol


psn necro blows w/o dw whoever he will be dueling

Poison Nova is the most effective killing method. You can kill mf sorcs with just namelock teleporting on them while they have Amp.Dmg on their heads. Skells do decent damage but you won't kill a barb with 7k life 75% block and 50%DR with skeles alone, he will plow through them before they would do any real harm.




I find IM very bad mannered. I'm not quite sure if it actually works with skeletons, probably does but I have not tried it out yet. Just remember, if you go BM, they can too. And life tap on your skeles is just as bad as Iron Maiden is on him so it's no real use to cast IM if he can cast Life Tap and the duel is again evened out.

Most people have psn res stacked anyway. Please tell me the use of -50 psn res when its stacked anyway? Will be doing same dmg.

barly anyone stacks posion

all the others are stacked

my psn necro can kill psn stacked 4 k hp hammers on norm difficulty w/o skellies

ever tried making psn necro on open to test?

make one with hoto/white and one with dw and see the results

If they are using treks, they are stacked psn.

yeah but who uses that >.>

well I know for a fact you have made a bone nec in the past few weeks(you bought my 9 skillers ) and I challange you to a duel if you like? I will not use DW.

The problem with DW is that it's actually not THAT good. Just look at what it does:
+2 nec
+2 pb (useless for your skeletons)
-50% enemy poison resist (-55/+5 if you add a facet)

Hoto:
+3 skills
+mana
+40 resist

you only loose 1 pb skill, gain 1 summoning skill and get 40 resist

wizzy:
no skills
huger mana
huger resist
1 socket

Also it's a bit painfull as sandstorm trek adds a huge poison resistance, meaning almost everyone has it stacked so the -55 from DW isn't effective (also lower resist) against gosu equiped duellers, this is not like cold resistance where stacked resistance can almost negate blizz damage. It's the same for them if they have 75 or 255 resist.

Most people. Especially casters. I don't know how most people build their chars, but I usually have stacked all res by far.....
