Bigfoot Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 HC wouldn't be as hard as it is if it wasn't for the fact that sometimes the game suffers from 10+ second lag spikes. So your best bet is to just leave the game as soon as you notice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'll just dick around exploring chars, until the patch . Looking at a poisin necro. Poison necros are crazy fun until you realize that every other necro buld buttrapes it =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other builds have their perks, but in raw damage the poison necros take the cake (especially with their lower resist combination).

Tensei Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 My bone necro has some very decent gear but he soloes hell really slowly because of the lack in dps (both bone spear and spirit are around 3k damage per shot, even with the high fcr some enemies take a lot of time to down) I blame the lack of poison/bone skillers I'm loving my fury druid at the moment though, the guy tanks insane amounts of damage <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I thought about making a poison necro because I just got that unique Kris or whatever that adds a lot to poison abilities. I was going to look it up, but for some reason battle.net's Diablo 2 site is making my computer completely crash. The screen goes blank. This is so weird.

Sindra Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I actually don't think I've ever tried making a Poison Necro. I almost always go Bone. I'll have to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other builds have their perks, but in raw damage the poison necros take the cake (especially with their lower resist combination). Yeah cuz raw dps is all you need in d2 rite? Poisonmancers are absolute crap once you hit hell mode because pretty much everything is psn immune (unless lower resist removes immunity since 1.11, that was my last psn nec), and they cant fight in duels because psn damage doesn't kill. Bone necro's take proper skill focus but are much much more efficient in every area, and summon necros, well, they just win everything.

Bigfoot Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I used to care about duels wayyyyyyyy back in the day. Now, it's just pointless IMO. I just like to farm crap now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone necro's take proper skill focus but are much much more efficient in every area, and summon necros, well, they just win everything. Your kidding about the dueling, right? Seriously, poison necros are one of the best PvP builds out there (look them up - even with max resist, max reduction and the natural 25% reduction from PvP they'll still drain you to nothing in an instant - then throw lv1 teeth at you to finish it). With the teleportation from Enigma it's nearly impossible to avoid it, too (although a rabid druid gives them a run for their money). Bone necros are good for PvP too, though .Yes, I think it's changed since 1.11... I know many curses break immunities, now (if the curse is strong enough - in fact it's a defining feature of Fishymancers), so lower resist could very well take of poison immune from most enemies. Run a bone necro through Act 2 Hell - every freaking (important) mob is magic immune. Bonermancers have a very, very difficult time there (where poisonmancers would flourish). I've played quite a few 80+ bonermancers - believe me, it's not that simple. I understand where your coming from with the utility and all - but on Bnet you'll be playing with other players for the most part so others will fill the gap that you'll lack. To be honest many sorc builds would be crap if immunities completely ruined them (Pure lit/ice/fire, anyone? Used for raw DPS, but need other players to fill in they're deficiencies). You'll admit that the poison far outstrips the bone and summon necros in raw damage. Situational damage, sure, but very, very high raw damage that is great on Bnet. I know it's not the only thing out there (I personally prefer curse/bonermancers), but it is a perfectly viable alternative. Hm... What about a Druid? Druids rock... but the only druids I've ever played are elemental druids (fire or wind - wind outstrips fire by far). Lycanthropy druids are great, too - wolfs get high speed and damage while bears get incredible AoE stuns and incredible damage (and life). Fire druids get high damage over time, but wind druids utilize a combination of cold and physical damage (great for Hell, by the way) and are virtually immune to elemental (but not poison) damage.Who wants to low lvl duel my druid? I'm lvl 18. Is it your hardcore elemental druid? lol, I'm game tomorrow at 2:15 eastern .who hasn't played d2Native Jovian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BardicKnowledge Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I hate waiting for this patch. I don't even want to play since I'm pretty much just gonna start over when the ladder resets. Agreed. I wish that they wouldn't have said "maybe before the end of April" as now I could care less about playing it until after the patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
