– I don’t advocate abusing the marrowalk bug at all, and this build doesn’t need it to be effective. +20 Bone Prison – (only costs 1 mana at high level and has insane amounts of life, great for tying up all sorts of annoying enemies and especially LEB’s and Baal’s minions as well as bosses, This is also really good for bone walling out any party members who cant teleport or leap attack so that you get a better chance at the boss drops, it pretty much ensures an amazon cant get anywhere near Baal when he dies) +20 Bone Spirit/ Spear (Depends on personal choice, both are equally useful) If you’re optimizing this build for bone and/or using skeletons you probably only want one point into Amp and DV, and maybe Decertify. I tend to use all of the curses except weaken, and life tap so I put a point into everything. Or 1 pt into Amp, Weaken, Decertify, DV, and the rest of the curses as you choose. Lower resist is only good if you party with sorceresses a lot, or other characters dealing mass elemental damage like Javazons.

The only curse that’s really necessary for this build is Amp, and that for one point, however 1 pointt into Decertify and Attract/ Confuse/ Dim Vision are all useful.

Throughout the guide I will explain both of them and how they work compared to each other as well as in general. There are two important variations on this build, one using Revives and one using Skeleton’s only. This Necromancer build is one that uses both minions and high damage bone spells to kill the enemy.
