He Doesn't Need Sunders [ 2.5 Bone Necromancer Build ]

How is your dmg so high when I have better gear on?

Do any curses affect bone spear damage?

I'd like to know your opinion. I wanna start MFing (in SSF) with a necro. Would you go for Bone, Poison or Necro?

I guess it's controversial but my "bone" necro only dumped hard points into bone Spear, bone spirit, and bone wall. Only 1 point in teeth and bone prison, 1 in life tap and decrepit. I have 15 in golem mastery and 10 in corpse explosion. I use fire golem (1 point) but clay + decrepify for act bosses. I have max block, decent health, and the merc uses defiance with obedience (Best I can make SSF). It's super solid. Yes, it takes an extra cast or two to defeat an enemy or two, but it's pretty awesome. I may make an all-bone version one day, to compare how they play up. But this version is pretty safe and I play on /players 3.

Quality as hell guide

when they fix the marrowwalk bug?

Damage output vs bosses is underwhelming, a javazon with cheap gear kills Hell Ball in seconds.

Lol hdin and blizz.. yay I can only farm some areas……. Mosaic ftw

They need to remove the wall and prison synergies

Wish they would boost Teeth damage its feel somewhat Meh on hell difficulty.

Bone with revives exploding the screen is pure chaos.

What level is best to shop for a bone spear 2 Soc?

I was considering respeccing to Poison Necro because I heard that it has very high damage output and a very good farming class. I decided to stick with Bone however because, the skills are just way too good to pass up and is highly optimized. Easy to switch between three core projectile skills and cast and then re-cast barriers and buffs, also being easier to aim with in general.

Also I love using Teeth, not my go to skill for general damage, but mainly kind of a "side-arm" of sorts dealing damage up close or if I want a larger radius. It's definitely a lot more powerful than how most guides downplay it.

pnb needs synergy work and pvp needs its own game settings and they are both fixed but they rather just boost the pally lol

I am not sure why everyone says bone nec is the best for starting ladder, I ran a bone nec this last ladder as my starter and it was horrible a complete slog. My normal go to is javazon which is much easier and last time for the first ladder I ran a fohdin which was also much easier. To be frank, I thought the bone nec was hands down the worst starter build I have come across.

you forgot dim vision...his most important curse

I'd never properly played Necro (or caster builds generally) until this ladder season. Started with the Bone necro with the intention of switching to Summon, but found some gear that lent itself to PnB so kept playing it. Reached level 87 without too much drama, largely SSF. Really enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

Anybody know where the best place to shop a summon skele wand would be??

I like builds that work in both pvm and pvp, start them out more pvm focused and later on respec to pvp gear once it’s “good enough” which is usually around the 3-4th month into a ladder season and then have my 2nd toon be my mfer until I can sell that gear and really pimp out my first toon.

So I usually end up with like a spidersin, bva, v/t, bowa, es/fb-es/blizz but I think I may just end up playing a bone nec next ladder

Bone is my preferred game clearing spec, however the scaling falls off at endgame so I swap off it as soon as I drop Hell Baal.

Bone has a lot of room for improvement IMO, however it is largely hampered by the PVP community. When it comes to suggested changes I think we need to discuss a flat 50% reduction to magic damage done in PVP. doing so will enable a lot more room for balance in PVM without completely throwing PVP into chaos.

Only after the PVP change I would like to see the removal of Wall and Prison from the damage dealing skills synergy list; the extra investment should be optional not required to complete the build. Reducing the number of synergies by 1/2 would require a doubling of the current synergy bonus (spear and spirit 8 -> 16% and teeth 15 -> 30%) in order to maintain current skill damage however I would advocate an increase in the base skill damage by 20-50% to improve the skills damage scaling with + skill gear. this change would allow the player to choose what other skill options to take and allow multiple build-paths similar to the poison build.
Lastly Teeth should be able to shotgun. it would allow for a risk/reward play and improve its general utility.

Everytime I try to make a bone Necro. I end up making a summon Necro instead. Just too good

this is my go to build regardless of which patch

I want to like your videos but the amount of skill boost really changes how builds function. I’d like to see more builds with 30-35. Not nearly 50. Thats my opinion, but beyond that you do a great work.

"a bit more controller friendly" translates to auto targeting for lack of a functional cursor. A good point, though one could also argue a case for, oh, say mouse and keyboard support. But minus those use cases like needing to target a corpse, and no, not the on way behind you..., Or trying to pick up a particular piece of loot, or use basically most strategies in the game. The auto target demonstrates that it's usefulness is way overshadowed by just how clunky it is. But sure, let's not forget the sweet perks of assigning a button to loot. Oh be still my beating heart....

All in all though Necro is super controller friendly but I generally steer towards more CE radius to compensate for lack of aim. Then again if we just want controller friendly characters, hammerdin is a no brainer. Cross platform. Renouned the world over for how unbalanced it is and ease of use.

U didn't mention the way of double aura with golem, wizardspike, the combo kill... And magefist who works with CE! You don't need high dmg for destroy pvm if u use right keys 😉
Necro is the best char for pvm in all ways.
But food video for Guys who want try necro for the first time ✌️

may i ask. do fohdin need sunder???

I just watched this an hour ago and just now found a Necro head with +3 bone spear, 1 to Decrepify, and 1 to bone spirit!

The only character I use a sunder is my wind druid, it's overrated

How are you that tanky in the face of Big D?!! I'm trying to clear Hell HC for the first time ever... Playing summoner for now but still scared to get one shot out of nowhere. Got a SS for max block so far. No homunculus or 3ple Trangs for poison build either.

Looks like you have 20 plus to skills ???

Nobody has mentioned yet how insane that caster amulet is. verry nicceee

+1 Revive and +1 decrep wand is GG. Besides that HOTO for sure.

The damage is lacking

They should really add cast rate to the caster glove recipe … it’s annoying that you are stuck with only two gloves on casters and 90% of the time they have useless stats besides the cast rate.. don’t make it so every single caster glove has castrate, but do it much like caster amulets where it ranges between 5% and 20% … It’s not like it would make that Trang gloves or the mage fist gloves, obsolete either because poison champions would still want trang and fire champions would still want mage fists…

Is is "solo cell found" or "solo sefl-owned"? And what does it mean?

They need to drastically improve bones spear damage and teeth’s

>Homunculus with an Um rune
Ahh yes, the Homunumculus

Been thinking of running a bone necro.. this video helped prep me. Thanks! Off to slaughter Fallen...

Thanks for the video! On my bone necro, when I got up to near lvl 90, I threw points into skeletons, mages, and revives, since with +skills it they are all around lvl13. Adds some fun since with only 3 points (mastery from marrowwalk) you also get an army (not super effective, but fun). Personally I never use bone wall or prison for farming, generally not necessary even without the army

bone wall is op in pvp

Bone necro is so fun to play !
Nice video man!
