bump for this nice guide

i had a psn/summon nec first season. except i used bramble because it was strictly pvm. theyr alot of fun though

i'm in the process of starting this hybrid necro...and since i cant really buy great gear for it yet, it's nice so far for PvM/Baal runs/Etc.

excellent guide though...looking forward to how this will turn out

I'm making one today. I'm alot poorer now though (lost alot in a xfer) and so I'll have to trade off one of my other chars to get the gears =(

I suggest the following for a different approach.
as for gear: using d web & 3-3-3 darkforce. it will make more sense after you read the next part.
skills: instead of maxing skellys and skelly mastery, use revive and the remaining pts into all of these (fire golem, summon resist, and a small bit into skelly mastery)
the monsters life will be amazingly more than skellys, plus they will always stick of you...
use 9pnb gcs also.
though this build has alot less cast rate you won't even need to move, making fcr basically useless, but some is still needed
you will be an absolute tank...
your nova will bring them down to 1 life in less that 4 seconds, your fire golem's aura finishes them off before they can run into town
the only characters that can kill you are the following:
chargers, windys, some fireballers, and fohers.
this build makes it impossible to lose to a hammerdin, barb, zon, or fellow necro

I would suggest instead of maxing skellys go with revives and have 1 skill into fire golem (golem = personal preference). I had a PSN necro and he could own, He could do any run and could own PVP. I had about a max of 16k psn nova but usually had about 13k and had around 25 revives.... My necro was not very easy to kill... I would also use Nigma and tele with ur minions around u and they will glitch (as long as u dont run or walk anywhere) and alot of attacks will hit the minions before they hit u... works wonders!
