If you're hyped on poison, i have two sneaky tips for you: The poison javazon, and the uber killer poison amazon. It's cool. You can do obscene amounts of poison damage. The amazon poison damage does more damage than the lightning, but of course it works much slower. But it is fascinating to use. It's cool to use it on a boss, go to town, come back and see the damage done, like 50% of the hp gone. Lol. It's a safe way to play in hardcore too. You can run around and let the enemies run into the poison, gives a lot of freedom to move around. Cows become easy too.

It's worth a try. I actually have started a few ladder seasons with it. Only thing you hit a wall with, is the last wave at baal in normal. They have 95% poison resist. So you must have a strategy for that. But other than that, it's cool.

the build works but i consider it slow yet expensive to gear and the roi is low. poison kills over time and some monsters with every build can be completely immune that is why the merc exists to supply physical damage as a secondary damage to the main builds damage.

a necro can kill 3 ways:

a merc kills a monster, you amp everything and use corpse explosion.
poison nova kills a few monsters then you re-amp and use ce
a skelly kills a monster (under amp) then you use ce

in pvm with a necro most of your wide area of effect damage comes from c/e not your main skills (bone, summon, poison) if you are not targeting a main boss monster (diablo baal ect)

so the build is valid, i would have used andys, cv insight as changes to the merc and used full poison + bone not poison + summon but that depends on how you play. summons can provide a meat shield but a merc and bone armor + clay golem also does the same. a lot of necs use a high level fire golum for the passive damage or use passive damage elemental auras like dragon or dream + hand of justice on mercs so you have 4 pulses of passive damage (merc+3, fire golem + 1) to kill monsters with 1 hp left. but you are left without insight or infinity on the merc and those are very useful.

i would mf with a conventional cookie cutter vita bliz or hdin as a better choice for speed and mf stack.

- nb for not bad?
-oh, right, dommage as "too bad" has the same spelling.
-I think you're right, it sucks. It seems i could spam corpse of explsion skilled like this and could be better, but would be the point.

This is the kind of answerr i was looking for, ty... (general play and effectiveness)

Now, im thinking, if its to play for mf i prefer the summon necro over the psn one, if its to use CE as the main dammage skill.
There is an old video on youtube from MrLlamas sc, where he ranked the psn necro as the 3rd best mf build in the game, but the summoner one is like 4 tier....
But ofc, if you are using CE with psn necro...then, i'm confused....whats the pt?
