I thought I had a manald heal as well but I don't see it anywhere so I'm probably misremembering.
Nagelring can only has 15% MF so it's useless, otherwise a high res nagel would be pretty decent.

Nice little stone the council has there. Probably lands together with not yet found 5 others in a crystal sword.

Or, with 3 others in a 4 soc +3 Bo weapon, so it has use on the barb, we'll see.

 

[helvete1]

There aren't any +BO weapons, only +warcries weapons, and those are never grey/white.

 

[d2fan1]

I socket at larzuk

+3 warcries on an axe or mallet

then socketing at larzuk for 4 sockets with luck (1/4 chance for that)

 

[helvete1]

Ah, I misunderstood. You meant for the MF, not beta CtA use.

 

[pharphis]

nice ist! I only got one in the 15k council runs I did. Expected value is probably around 1-2 if I had to guess. I got several gul and at least one Lo, though.

I think scrcrw got a Jo from them many years ago,

 

[d2fan1]

really, i don't know if it comes to use in 1.07, because by the time I would have 6 Ists for (or 4), I probably have all uniques that the actbosses can drop (minus some jewelry maybe). But an 1.07 Ist seems like a waste for 1.10

 

[pharphis]

I would definitely use it in 1.07 if anywhere. I still have mine, actually.

If I were to stick it in anything it would probably be in a wizardspike for more MF on sorc (more easily, making bosses easier/safer to kill) but this also doubles as useful for a council-running barb's hork switch.

[pharphis]

You're doing the weapon glitch?
Is that wizzy + razorswitch?

 

[helvete1]

Yeah, it is. Gets me to 110FCR with Valk Wing and a FCR ring with MPK.

Pretty decent resist/life/mana as well!

 

[pharphis]

Thinking of trying a bone spirit or bone spear necro for cow running. Thoughts?
I don't know how much dmg they would do but my guess is bone spirit would do considerably more dmg (and I *think* it would be good dmg when including lower resist curse) against cows. Then, CE spam, ofc.

What to do with extra points, though? could max CE, spirit, 10+ in amp dmg, 10+ in lower res for 60 points total (plus a few prereq). I think iron golem doesn't persist between games but even if it did it's probably not worthwhile, so...? bone armor seems a bit silly to max but maybe max clay/fire golem or synergies for those would be worthwhile for a sturdy minion in cows?

Honestly not sure what to do witht he extra points.

As for equipment, obviously can go with visceratuant (until I find a better necro head, if ever does anyone remember the stats on the unique one?) and either wizardspike or a wand (+7 bone spirit from wand if I find a wand and want to risk using a runeword heh). If I wanted to use the weapon glitch I could in theory get +14 to bone spirit from 2 slots (faints), though I haven't messed with that, yet.
Other gear would be typical stuff + 1-2 MPK rings I suspect. Maybe with a slight focus on FRW when possible.

 

[helvete1]

Get revives, they are the best minions pre-1.10

Also, the AI curses are great for hearding cows.

 

[pharphis]

like attract or whatever it's called?

 

[helvete1]

Yep, that makes them bunch up very nicely. Also makes the first kill for you, if bone spells for some reason are too weak.

 

[pharphis]

I hope bone skills aren't too weak, since I suspect poison nova is garbage pre-synergies (not sure, though)

 

[Burgomaster3]

Nice coincidence, I'm currently questing with bone necro in 1.13 and was thinking about how he would work in 1.07.

Bone Spear is nice with its piercing, but has weak damage without synergies, so Bone Spirit is most likely better option.

I was wondering, does the partial item bonus from Trang's set work? I know the item-dependent partial bonuses don't exist, but how about the "golden" partial bonuses? Two pieces of Trang's would give you lvl 18 Fireball, that combined with Lower Resist might surpass the damage of Bone Spirit? I'd test this but i only have Trang's Gloves and necro head, and don't have Necromancer on high enough level to equip it. Three parts would give you lvl 13 Fire wall, it does decent damage two. Some +all skills gear like Shako to boost it.

Dunno, Bone Spirit with lots of +skills will probably still do more damage, but it's single target attack, and not very fast. Confuse and Attract will surely become handy.

 

[Erayz]

Does the Blood Golem + Iron maiden combo work in 1.07? That's how I leveled my Necro in 1.09 in the cow level, since even level 38 Bone spear dealt only around 300 damage. The idea is to herd cows by running around, cast Blood Golem in the center of the pack, and Iron maiden the cows. There was a bug which made it so that the damage dealt by monsters cursed with IM hitting a Blood Golem counted as damage from the Golem, so it would leech life, making the Golem invincible vs melee. Then once one cow dies, it's a CE spam fest. I believe that since this bug was present in 1.09, there is a good chance it's there in 1.07 as well?

I started 1.07 earlier this week, and I wondered: Can I rack an Arkaine's Valor from Lower Kurast? I read the 1.07 from Repusz, and he listed most Area levels, but on LK, it was written **.

 

[helvete1]

yes, you can. Only Cranium Basher and any Sacred Armor is unrackable in LK (out of the items which can spawn on racks) I believe.
I racked mine in Kurast Bazaar, though. It's always worth it to check Kurast Bazaar and Upper Kurast, because they can have some really fast maps.

 

[pharphis]

Oh, I forgot I had a necro with bone spirit maxed (but not bone spear). At level 25 it does 440 dmg and looks like it increases by 18 per lvl (not sure if this scales at all), so I think it's way way better than spear if spear doesn't do more than like 300 dmg at such an extreme level. Only need 1-3 corpses with CE, anyway (I'll miss 1.13 CE, though)

Wait, can someone remind me when CE was nerfed such that it doesn't scale with p settings? If it still scales ten it's very broken, and if it doesn't then I'll probably stick to /p1 solo games anyway because MPing is a pain.
