Fishymancer question.

No infinity... doing a SF HC with 2 others... so it's more or less a p1 convo. Currently merc is using insight LL helm duriels.

How do I take down bosses quicker before I am able to get a iron golem up and running.

Im thinking insight gface and blood armor for the LL. I lose cbf but gain cb. Will it be noticeable without cbf? Or is that gonna cause poor merc to attack too slow ?


And for hc should i go MB? It's about 200 dex with a homonculous ... but necros only get 2 life per vit so it's my that huge of a life loss... but i also don't want to get 1 shot by souls

If you’re just trying to kill a boss have a separate setup for the merc in the stash. I’d ditch the life leech completely. Ethereal obedience, hustle/treachery, and g face. If they’re about to die just cast lifetap.

Thats pretty much what I kind of figured out for myself as I leveled up

Just looking for a good base for an obedience. Found a eth ca. Didn't want to waste a socket quest so I rolled it... 4 sock lol. So at least the merc is doing some better dmg with insight now. And I just made an iron golem out of a ik maul for now.

Great idea for the life tap. T4t

You should be just spamming pits with the necromancer with whatever player count you are comfortable with. Summons will block archers, decrep anything that tries to run close.

Necro and boss killing is not the best imo.
