*Bone Spear in PVE*

[:1]Hi all,



First of all I have to say that I haven't been playing for a long time. I was searching this forum for a while. Now it seems that "fishymancer" guide is the only one. But I simply HATE summoners. Back in my days I remember necromancers finished games with Bone Spear skill. I'm wondering is this possible in these days? I didn't find PvE builds with Bone Spear as main skill. Only "bonemancer" PvP guide.

So... Does anyone know build with *Bone Spear* as main skill to finish this wonderful game? |||I only started playing in 1.13c, and my first ever character was a Bone Necro. I took him all the way up to 92. No mean feat for a first character, if you ask me. So it certainly works.

I'm too tired to write you out a guide right now, but it's a pretty simple build. If nobody else has posted in this thread by morning I'll type something up for you.|||http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=772133

Thx However this is more CE necro I guess. But quite nice

Still waiting other opinions about Bone Spear necros |||When fully outfitted, Bone Spear necros have always been my favorite area runners and key runners.

I prefer to one-point Corpse Explosion, Revive, Amplify, and Dim Vision, while emptying the rest of my points into Bone synergies. This provides for a wide variety of combat options without cutting too significantly into Spear damage.

The necro build in the guide is pretty similar... Since CE is any PvM necro's moneymaker, you have to find a balance between accelerating the production of that first corpse and expanding the destructive potential of the CE spell itself.

Ultimately, the correct choice is dependent on what you plan to do with the necro. For area clearing (The Pit, Chaos, WSK, Cows), the max CE variant will dominate, allowing you to chain CE across multiple screens without too much hassle. For anything else (keyrunning, bossrunning, PvP), 1pt CE works fine, and the higher synergies allow you to kill point targets much faster.

And if you're wondering about gear, mouseman's guide covers the bases pretty well (except for his bias against Enigma... it really is the best armor for this build, and necessary if you want to take advantage of 1pt Revives).|||Very nice Thank you. Yes, I also took a look about gear and found that Enigma could be more useful than other |||Quote:

I know you requested a bone spear guide so by all means - people should give you a bone spear guide, but I will ask out of curiosity.. is there any reason why you don't want to use Corpse Explosion ?

In reality the ONLY difference between a Corpse Explosion build and a Bone Spear build is 20 points in Bone Spear Synergies instead of 20 points in OMG - Insta-win AoE From hell... or Corpse Explosion officially.

Myself I run the corpse explosion build and a close friend runs Bone Spear and really the difference in bone spear damage is not nearly as beneficial as the increased size of Corpse Explosion.. He kills Diablo and Baal a few seconds than I do but I can destroy all the trash mobs minute(s) faster than him since he has to spear everything.

again if you want Bone Spear by all means enjoy it follow the guide by Mouseman and instead of dropping 20 points in Explosion put them in Teeth or Bone Spirit instead everything else is the same.|||Quote:

I agree with the Enigma thing myself.. I was using the recommended Vipermagi and I LOVE the extra resistance & the FCR is godly for everything from bonespear spam, CE, and cursing but losing the utility of teleport hurts way to much..

Until recently I kept viper in my bag so when I got to say chaos sanc or throne room I just swapped to V magic for the buffs but recently I've decided to just use the Enigma and deal with the lack of FCR.

I'm just too paranoid about unequiping / equipping items often or while doing something in fear of DC'ing and losing an item (expecially an enigma!)|||Quote:

i agree with all of this. the only time where you'd want to go all out on bone skills over CE is when you're primarily using this character to PvP with. then you want everything into it you can get.

you should be okay if you're keeping everything either on yourself, in your inventory or in your stash. it's only when you drop something on the ground that you risk losing it.|||Yes bone spear necros can solo hell easily as long as you have 1 pt amp and 1 pt ce and you are all set. People build summoners nowaday because of there killing speed is amazing in pvm once you get all the skeles up. But again bone necro work well in hell pvm but not as effective.
