im making my first necro... just need some tips for a baal mf'er.. thx


To be honest I dont think Necros make Ideal MFers.

I wouldnt go bone, as they are very gear dependent to get high damage.

Maybe if u do one, go a Summoner, at least your minions can protect you, so u can load up on MF gear.

I would choose a Hammerdin (vigor makes them really fast) and they can tank any area of the game, however are very cheesy!
LOL

Or a Dual tree sorc (Teleport makes them unbeatable for speed)

Or, a dual weild Barbarian, they can have the highest amount of MF out of any character.
 
I would disregard everythin Gaza said.

Necros make kick *** MFer's.

I would do this:

MAX skeletal Warrior
MAX skeletal Mastery
MAX corpse explosion

Either MAX skeletal Mage, or put about 6-7 points in revive

1 point in:

Clay Golem
Golem Mastery
Amp Damage
Decrepify
Bone Shield

and let +skills take em up

throw the rest of your points into raising the radius on your curses.

Might Merc(ACT2 NM)
 
Here's my commando/mfer:

Maxxed: Skeltons...Mastery...Mages.

1 pt into all curses...all golems and revives.

I'll have a CE of 10 with 1 point invested in it...and only really need to use in certain parts of act3 (maggot lair) act4 (river on up) and 5 (basically for wsk/throne)

My equipment:

Skullder's with ist
Shako with ist
Gold wrap
47 wt's
30 mf ammy
2x 30 mf nagels
40 mf gloves
Beast
Alot of mf charms

On switch I have a 6 isted sword and 4 isted shield

Waheed (might merc) uses:
Skullder's ist
Tomb reaver
Crown of Thieves

My total mf is over 940 on switch

HoS
 
I agree, Necromancers make great mfers. A few weeks ago I decided to start a summon/psn hybrid just for fun, but he ended up being so much fun I made him my main mfer. I went with max warrior, mastery, nova and pdagger, 1 pt in curses and all remaining summoning skills, lvl 1 ce. Nova doesn’t do big damage, but its only backup, skels do the rest.
The amount of mf I use is only 500 at the moment, I still have some tweaking to do. I’m not planning on putting mf on my merc since the chance of him getting the actual final hit isn’t that high without me having to unsummon every minion. I only use the merc for might and Crushing Blow (which isn’t high yet since I’m still lacking an eth uped Hone Sundan). But when he finally does have 80% cb, Baal will go down in no time. When I feel like it I go and summon some Urdar type minions, and have them use cb on Baal. But it’s somewhat of a waste of time.
Part of the fun I’m having is because of the Enigma I put on him. I’m having a blast teleporting directly on or next to monsters and have 40+ minions hit 1 target at the same time. The one thing that always slightly annoyed me about summoners, is not being able to pick off specific targets quickly, and now Enigma took care of that. I know that not everyone can afford one of those, but if you can, go for it, it speeds up runs and killing things significantly.
Naturally it’s all a matter of personal preference.

Why would anyone socket an armor and helm with Ist? Its only 1% mf more than a TP...

Because I didn't care...and had 8 spare ist's lying around...also make new characters every 2 days since I rush myself for forges all the time.

If I did care though...it would have been perfect topaz.

I got 4 ist's just this week...2 from hell forge and found 2 more in hell ancient's way and while saving anya...maybe I should just hold on to them.

This is impressive.

How much time does it take you to rush to Hell's Hell Forge? Is this like playing 8-16 hrs a day with multiple comps, or is it you and a buddy do a hell rush in an hour or so?

I like the 900+ MF by the way... awesome. But why do you call it a commando? Isn't a commando a commando because of their gear? With all MF gear on, surely you wouldn't be a commando?

How are the resists? Does it even matter about resists, I mean with maxed skellies and all that resists aren't so much of an issue I guess?

Do you just kill everything, or do you farm specific areas (eg pits, baal etc)?

hey there, I'm looking at building a necro like this, but I'm just wondering what gear you're using for 500MF at decent kill speed.
 
I dont have sick mf and dont intend to get it because good stuff drops just as frequently either way :rolleyes:
I have shako, enigma and on switch Gull + rhyme shield. Thats about 260 mf on switch (for boss kills) and Ive found some nice stuff with him that not even my mf sorc has ever found ;)
 
so did i with my skelliemancer, found shako yesterday ;)

loving the tar frozensolid :D
