NECROMANCER GUIDE
PvP and PvM Bone necro
This build is great for both PvP and PvM since a necromancer can do great damage to groups of monsters with Bone spear, and still do Huge damage to Persons with Bone Spirit.
Stats
These are the stats I recommend:
· Strength - 50 Strength. Without items you should have 65 Strength total.
· Dexterity - Either enough to max block, or none, whatever your preference is
· Energy - None
· Vitality - All the res goes here
Skills
20 - Bone Spirit (Your main attack)
20 - Bone Prison (Bone Spirit synergy)
20 - Bone Wall (Bone Spirit synergy)
20 - Teeth (Bone Spirit synergy)
20 - Bone Spear (Bone Spirit synergy and a good Group killer).
1 - Decrepify (Slows down your opponents)
0 - Bone Prison (don’t touch this, with Marrowwalk’s on it gives +33 to bone prison if no points where put there to begin with. It is called the Marrowwalk bug)
Gear
Helmet: Harlequin Crest, socketed with a Jah Rune. This gives +2 skills, life and mana, and damage reduction.
Amulet: Maras with high res, or +2necro/cast/stat/res amulet. Either wait, +2 skills is essential for that high damage.
Armor: Dusk Shroud Enigma. Since necro’s don’t need much strength for other items, keep the Enigma in a Dusk Shroud. Enigma allows you to teleport and also gives the strength needed for the other items.
Shield: Homunculus, with Jah, Sur, or Um! Homunculus is a very nice and affordable shield for Necromancers.
Rings: 2 x Soj's. +2 skills and huge mana boosts make these rings the best combination for a PvP necromancer.
Boots: Marrowwalk. Marrowwalk are the best boots for a necromancer because of the Marrowwalk bug, if a necro does not place any points in Bone Prison at all, and uses these boots, the Bone Prison charges get converted into +33 to Bone Prison.
Gloves: Frostburns. Since we are not putting any points into Energy, Frostburns add to mana, along with the 2 x Soj’s.
Belt: Arachnid's Mesh. +1 skills and faster cast rate makes this the absolute best Caster belt in the game.
Weapon: Heart of the Oak flail. +3 skills, 30-40 resist all, and cast rate push the Heart of the Oak above all other PvP necromancers weapons.
Shield on Switch: Lidless. This shield is a good second slot shield when used with Call to Arms. It gives +1 to the 2 essential war cries.
Weapon on Switch: Call to Arms Runeword, +battle orders and command is very good to have.
Charms: 8 x Poison/Bone Charms with 35+ Life, 1 Annihilus Charm, 7 x life/mana sc's.
PvP and PvM Novamancer
This build is great for both PvP and PvM since a Novamancer does huge damage to anyone who comes in range.
Stats
These are the stats I recommend:
· Strength - Without Enigma, you loose that huge Strength bonus, so I suggest having 100 Strength without items on.
· Dexterity - None
· Vitality - This is where the rest of your stat points go.
Energy – None
Skills
20 - Poison Nova (Main Attack)
20 - Poison Explosion (Once Monsters are dead use this, At high level it does 100K dmg)
20 - Poison Dagger (Only works on daggers, but is a synergy)
1 - Lower Resist (Lowers Monsters Poison res)
1 - Fire Golem (Takes hits and is good against poison immune)
1 - Golem Mastery (Feeds into fire golem)
1 - Summon Resist (Feeds into fire golem)
1 - Bone Armor (Absorbs Damage)
10 - Bone Wall (Feeds into Bone Armour, and gets in the way of charge pallys)
0 - Bone Prison (Explained in Bone Necro Guide)
1 - In all pre reqs. (With all above skills and pre-reqs you will have used 86 skills)
Gear

Amulet: Maras with high res, or +2necro/cast/stat/res amulet. Either way, +2 skills is essential for that high damage.
Armor: Bramble Wyrmhide. This Armour is the best for PvP and PvM poison necromancers because of two main reasons, Thorns Aura when equipped for those melee characters that luckily made it close to you. And the +25-50% To Poison Skill Damage
Shield: Homunculus, with Jah, Sur, or Um! Homunculus is a very nice and affordable shield for Necromancers.
Rings: 2 x Soj's. +2 skills and huge mana boosts make these rings the best combination for a PvP necromancer.
