A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro SP

There was once in a time a great field of heroes but with one curse which couldn't be lifted until the scarecrow made his entrance and stepped out from the shadow into this world of destruction.

The story start's with me finishing my last 99 paladin and at that time i already had a new character in mind, to make an even more expensive baal runner than my previous one
and to be different from the cookiecutter builds.
So at that time i looked at both infinity and pride for my necromancer but come to conclusion that infinity was the better of these two due to making corpse explosion a good choice even on players8 and also with conviction give skellies/merc the ability to hit more.

I started doing loads of LK runs to meet the required amount of runes for ebugged beast and 2x ebugged griefs, infinity, fortitude, also trying to get better charms to perfect my dream runner: Scarecrow.

My run times were average 4mins, fastest runs were about 3.30mins.
Therefor making this one of the fastest baal running MFers, 330+ MF.

Finally finished it! GG on the first necro in SP, that's all of them!

The best geared character in SP that I know of, and maybe the most stylish of the lot too.

Can't wait to see the next chars and goals you make as always and maybe some oldschool comps in IRC =)

P.S. some very nice finds on the necro, do post those hauls when you get around to looking through those thousand screenshots :D

GG marvel, looking forward to the next character. How about a real melee 99'er? :tongue:

Gratz Marv.Now gogo LK for BotD and then melee 99:D
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Awesome Marvel, good to see the necro hit 99.
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Congratz, Marvel! :D

I have one small question...how did your merc leech?
Did you have to cast Life Tap?
If so, was it often?

Oh, and skill placement, please. :)
I'm leveling mine so I'm gathering ideas.

Wow a 99er! Impressive Marvel. Sorry bout my ignorance but is it HC too?
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

sexy setup. congrats marv
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Did you have a pride iron golem as well? Or was too painful to do?
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

This is "#&¤%" impressive in terms of stamina. First LK for THREE bers, then all the way to 99. Gratulations.
 
Oh, and skill placement, please. :)

Yup, gib skillz!

Grats on the 99'er, never would've thought a Skelliemancer could do the runs so fast!:jig::thumbup:

One question though, what about Baal's decrep? Did skellies kill fast while they were cursed?

Edit (@Naab): And using Bone wall for keeping lister of you?

you nub post some pics of your army taking baal down
grats!
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Darkooo you stay in the throne for the decrep...
Also im pretty sure the skill placement is the usual skellymancer with 1 point mage and revive.
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Huge congratulations!
That is some sexy gear you have there...I assume you kept the beast zerker axe in your inventory and ditched 2 skillers for it?

So, what's next?
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Holy cow that's some equipment:O
Any idea how long it took you all in all to gather that all together?:crazyeyes:
Congrats on the wonderful achievement there!
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Great gear, great char. GG Marvel.
 
Re: A scarecrow from beyond the normal field has scared the last crow, First 99 Necro

Maxgerin: I dident need any leech due to all my minions and merc + golem spread the dmg out.
Its easy to regroup the army if merc gets stuck. My merc also had 8k defense so minions dont hit that much and then again my merc pokes them up with 9k dmg add amp on that aswell.

skills: a usual skellie build though i put points into skeleton mages but ditched it later just because i want my merc to be able to walk freely around and get faster kills to allow me getting faster corpses. I find out that it takes quite a few time to revive all skeleton + mages and sometimes you dont get that lucky with so many throne spawns.
Merc and CE + infinity are the main keys for this build.

NeoKnuckles: No i dident make that i actually tried eth obedience and a few other lower rws but then again clay golem got more life and helps quite some slowing down minions/baal.

Darkoooo: yea like Naab said i park myself right on the throne beside baal and get the decrep on myself instead of minions. Dont need bonewall for lister my merc and skeletons tank him well enough.

Grisu: I had beast in cube so i could use 7skillers + that gheeds and be able to pick up charms/jewels.
Whats next: Im going to make a few new cool characters and more rws and probably test out the choice of melee baal runner.
The reason i farmed griefs from LK while doing equip to this char is that i already had the Baal running barb in mind.
So im looking at either pride or two dreams but coolest would be to zod the best eth tomb reaver i have found (i got 5 eth in various stats 2 being very top end).

Zefimas: I have done small steps at the first start making enigma and the other rws for my paladin and then i started doing areas seriously testing out how long it took for me to get HRs from different areas and then i also started doing LK runs (done about 60k LK runs).
