Patriarch Luumyrkky, Poison/Bone Hybrid Necro
Hello again
I found some time ago wand with 2 poison nova and 2 bone spear. Immediately I wanted to build a hybrid around it and today, he killed Baal. Here's Luumyrkky posing next to Baal's corpse.
So, what is my hybrid? Let's start with skill and stat layout:
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Dagger
20 Bone Spear
20 Bone Wall
8 Bone Prison (maxing this at the moment)
1 in Poison Explosion, Teeth, Bone Armor and Corpse Explosion
0 in Curses and Summoning trees.
Strength: 58
Dex: base
Vitality: 387
Energy: base
Life: 1278
Mana: 544
Resists: 80/75/75/75
Yep, all skills are in PnB tree. The only way I wanted to do it. I've found a very nice +5 Lower Resist wand ages ago, so it's used also with my Trang-oul poisonmancer. That combined with 'Splendor' head with +3 Decrepify, I needed no points in Curses. I don't like Necro's summons anyways, so that was easy decide not to use that tree.
So, was it good build? Hmm, not very good. It was actually almost decently effective all the way to act3 Hell, but those last two acts were quite difficult. Bone Spear killed PI's with ~5-10 shots. But on the other hand, I was pleased with Poison Nova. Usually 2-3 Novas killed everything, when I used LR. Didn't much try PN without LR. But here is some damage numbers:
Bone Spear: 1999-2102
Poison Nova: 4480-4613
Not very massive, right? But I didn't expect much better. How about we check his gear now?
Harlequin Crest
'White' Bone Wand
Skin of the Vipermagi
Homunculus 'Pdia'
Trang-Oul's Claws
Arachnid Mesh
The Stone of Jordan
The Stone of Jordan
Mara's Kaleidoscope
Waterwalk
Switch:
Rare wand
'Splendor' Fetish Trophy
5 PnB skillers, rest charms resists and life.
Merc, act2 Holy Freeze:
Gear is not so expensive, if you cut out Soj's and Mara's and possibly those skillers. I think I could've managed without those, but I want to reach lvl40 skills to use. Merc died awfully lot, I should've changed his gear a bit, but I didn't actually know how. Perhaps Glad's Bane would've helped him to face Physical attackers. Or just few levels to make him safer.
Drops, nothing special, Hell HF was Hel and can't remember NM HF anymore, but nothing fancy I promise Overall, he didn't see much Green or Golden items.
I wouldn't recommend this build, if you're not prepared to lowish damage. Sometimes it felt like it took forever to kill some Poison Immune, but then again, I liked snipering those Bone Spears. And playing him was both fun and challenging. But I admit, this kind of Hybrid doesn't work for many people here.
I know, I'm sure I forgot something so ask and I'll answer. Thanks for reading.
