Tips for summonmacers??

[Flaming_Newbie]

Im making a summonmacer and i was wondering..... should i go with skellys or revies?? I was thinking skellys cause i met this necro that was owning ancients in hell with just skellys. It was kinda funny too. Right now i have a lvl 8 necro and trying to decide wicth way to go casue if I keep putting points into skelly mastery im gonna have 3 uber skellys soon. ^_^

well then go for skellies, mage skel,a golem or two, some curses and then mayba few into revives just for the hellov it

 

[Induhvidual_1]

i would go for revives and a golem might help

I have a necro who isn't bad I'm staying in nightmare for right now till I level some more. But these are my skills

Lvl 33 Skele Mastery.
lvl 31 Skele
lvl 30 Mage
lvl 9 Revive
lvl 20 Summon Resist (still working on that 1)

I find revives to die if you run away too far and they are pretty costly mana wise. I like skeles the best mine do 3140 dmg each. And they have 1529 life the hardly ever die. And with 12 of them I make out pretty well for a lvl 75 necro.

Just incase your wondering I wear:
Trangs Armor
Perf Marrowwalks
Gloom's Trap
Frosties
(crappy rings and ammy )
Wormskull
Arm of King Leoric
Homunculus

Hope this helps

how well do ur skellies and revives handle in solo hell?

 

[basnet2]

Haven't really tried hell. But I'd imagine they'd hold their own. The only possible drawback might be getting that first corpse. My merc isn't that good so it's kinda hard but it can be done.

 

[irdamage]

ah well let me kno how he holds up...cuz if he can solo baal, its a good build

 

[aphextwin]

3140 dmg? or 31-40 dmg... cuz ive been making a bone/revive necro but its just not working out.....

 

[irdamage]

well unless ur really lucky and have an almost perfect balance of them...its gonna suck

 

[skater101]

ya dunt go trying to do both.. wont work

My freind gave me the idea of raising skele's from the corpses laying on the floor in the red portal next to anya, I'm not sure if this works

 

[irdamage]

hmm i dont htink there technically corpses though :S, cuz i dont think u can corpse explode them or anything like that

Yes, you can raise your skellies from the dead bodies near Pindle through the red TP near Anya.

 

[WildfireFX]

why dont people just use revives?

 

[Arkhon]

Because revive's only last 3 minutes and have retarded AI...they get lost then dissapear.

 

[irdamage]

exactly...ironically skellies have a brain in there heads

How is it possible for a skeleton to do 3140 damage even at this lvl ?

S-i-n-g-l-e P-l-a-y-e-r
or
O-p-e-n B-n-e-t

I heard of these numbers so i beleive it is true

 

[tdc-nemesis]

yeh i got a good build

i can do ok in hell by myself but like he said getting the creatures to raise is the hard part lol

max skel mastery
max skellies
max golem mastery
max golem of ur choice

remainder on mages
this is a good build and works well
but sumtimes it can help to have a few on bonewall so if ur stuck u can delay a little give u sum time to raise more skellies or wuteva
but its ur choice
