Bone Spirit

From Diablo 2 Wiki

Bone Spirit

Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Teeth, Corpse Explosion, Bone Spear
Synergies: The damage of each Bone Spirit is boosted by points in the following skills:

Details: Bone Spirits are slow-moving, homing missiles that will track targets for quite a distance off the screen. Their damage is magical so only by raise skill levels can you increase it.

  • Bone Spirits will home relentlessly after the monster, player, or minion you target.
  • If not targeted directly, Bone Spirits acquire the target that's nearest to where your cursor is when you click them.
  • If a target dies before the Bone Spirit reaches it, the spell will not acquire another target, but will instead pass harmless off the screen. It's therefore best not to shoot more than you'll need to kill a given target.
  • Since these fly slowly and Necromancers can cast very quickly, it's possible to have quite a few (more than a dozen) Bone Spirits tracking the same enemy.
  • Bone Sprits are useful in PVP, but can fairly easily be outrun, so must be used strategically.
