Grim Reaper Necromancer

Ok, so. The character has been created (ReaperMan) on EuScL. He's not reached level 30 yet and I'm still looking for gear.

Right now, I intend to get Shaftstop and Nat's helm. I have Grim's Burning Death as a weapon and I have a pair of Marrowwalks for boots (with a nice +2 SM). I need some suggestions on gloves and a belt that are affordable.
 
The belt can be a little hard to get hold of, but not impossible. I have got two after all in use by other chars :). The belt does come with a nice Cannot be Frozen mod, so it probably would be worth it.

I might try to find something other than Trang Gloves though, because to be honest, I won't really need another 2 into curses when I have a scythe giving +3 to nec skills and a nec torch (giving +3 again).

Arachnid's Mesh would be useful, if expensive.
 
Corpsemourn is the blackest armor in the game.

Reaper's Toll would be better than Grim's, although both are fitting tools for the Reaper.

For gloves, Soul Drainers seem fitting for the Grim Reaper. Lava Gout gives IAS and Enchant.

Nosferatu's is a good belt unless you want Arachnid's for extra points in Skellies.

I don't know if Giant Skull looks black if you put a Pskull in it, but that would be better than nat's helm IMO

Sound's like a fun build.
 
I'm using Grim's simply for the +3 nec skills to make up for the fact I can't carry a head or wand around. I probably won't be attacking much or at all, but relying on my minions like a standard summoner. Plus, the requirements for Reaper's Toll are higher than Grim's B Death.

Indeed, Soul Drainers do seem more fitting than Trang's Claws

Corpsemourn has a very high Streangth Requirement compared to Shaftstop, even with a Hel rune it still requres 144-5 Str which is still a little high. Of course, it may be what I ultimatly settle with towards the end.

If I don't use Trang's Belt, I will probably get Lava Gouts for the 1/2 Freeze Duration.
Although, how valuable is Arachnid's Mesh on EuScL?
 
Kudos to Alien King for a stylish themed Necromancer!! (clap, clap!). But with the gloves and belt of Trang you'd get the cool mana regeneration & fire stuff. Kinda Ghost Rider style ala Nic Cage. Get a cool black leather armor, skull helm and throw fire around. Too bad there's no motorcycles in Diablo. (sigh).

Good luck and good hunting!

Black as the night for your low lvl journey... :thumbsup:
 
The low level journey isn't too much of a problem. If I really wanted too, I can just buy some socketed armour and stick a skull in it.
 
Yeah well... I havn't actually done much yet. I've been offline from Diablo II for a while now.

Anyway, my character is no Non-Ladder (due to the Ladder Reset). How this affects prices on items I do not know.

Anyway, items:

Grim's Burning Dead - Scythe (Owned)
[Undecided Armour]
Trang-Oul's Claws - Gloves
Marrowwalks - Boots (Owned)
[Undecided Helm]
Trang-Oul's Girth - Belt

The armour must be full armour (no red trousers - so no Shaftstop) and must be a dark black colour.
The Helmet must be a Skull helmet that is either Black or bone White in colour (preferably white but i will settle with black).
It's a shame the Wormskull isn't white... it has a very useful +1 Necro Skill levels and is really easy to get hold of... :cry:

The combination of Trang's gloves and belt provides me with a useful +15% Mana Regen and +18 Fireball (which is useless).
As stated before, I've chosen this particular scythe for the +3 Necro Skills bonus. I do not intend to be Fighting with this char, it's merely a summoner.

Basic Skills:

20 RS
20 SM
20 CE
1 RM
1+ Revive
1 Clay Golem
1 Golem Mastery
1 Summon Resist

1 Bone Armour
20 BW

1 Amp Dmg
1 Weaken
1 Terror
1 Decrep

This is still open to some large variation as I'm only on level 28 and have only really spent skills into RS (maxed) and SM (level 4).
 
Gloves and belt ? Death's Disguise set !
what can be more stylish !

Death's Hand - Leather Gloves
Poison Length Reduced by 75%
Poison Resist 50%
30% Increased Attack Speed (2 Items)

Death's Guard - Sash
Cannot be Frozen
+20 Defense
All Resistances +15 (2 Items)

edit: one more thing, if i were you i would use Insight in eth Battle Scythe - you will have those "clouds" around your feet :D
for summoning u can always use leoric + rare 3 summon necro head
might merc wearing Andariel, Duress and Obedience will kill anything in the game for you

bone armour may look bad on such a cute necro, i would go for Dim Vision instead of it

That is quite tempting actually. The All Res +15 could be a little helpful and it too has the Cannot Be Frozen Mod.

Shame the sash only has 8 slots.

Although the Death's Disguise set is much easier to come across.
 
with Insight you won't need much potions anyway
i just found eth War Scythe 4s (70 dex, 70str req), if you play europe ladder i'll be more than happy to give it to you :]
 
If I recall well from my classic days, Arcanna set is also black. Using armor+helm should give you nothing more than mediocre mana bonus tough.
If Infinity is out of your reach I guess Pride is out of question too? Conc enhanced Skeletons would be hoorah...
