Need a for fun build

Like title says. I just want to have fun with a Necro. The builds I like are...

Fire Sorc

Frenzy Barb

Smiter Pally

"Bible Basher" (Simply a basher I used the song refrence)

Javazon (Only when I'm in the mood for range)

I've heard of a Fishy Necro with Xbows for a wep but I had this thought...

If you need Dex for hitting monsters won't that greatly degrade your life? If you want dex why not get max block?

I realize that it uses summons but still. Why else not get max block over damage?|||the revivemancer is fun i did test:

|||How do you plan to block with a Crossbow?

@zrk: Better music this time. |||Quote:

I asked wouldn't you prefer max block over xbow...|||Berserk Pally is actually quite powerful and is a decent fun build but since this is the necro forum.

A melee necro wouldnt be too bad. Stick a passion on him max bone armors use the corpse explosions and add in summons and curses.

Passion will give Berserk and Zeal|||Passion... rw? if so is it ladder only? I sp so runes are an issue but I can getem|||Passion Non Ladder or ladder

I can highly recommend the Berserk pally.^^

20 Fanaticism

20 Holyshield

20 Blessed Aim (100% Passive AR bonus)

Points in utility auras such as redemption, Cleansing and Passive resist auras.

Quite fun with a 8 Frame zerk that can hit hard and hes not going to have problems in hell.

Pretty cheap for what it is.

Berserker Axe or Ettin Axe are my recommendations|||I like it. Although my version of a meleemancer would have been with Spectral Shard and used Poison Dagger as main skill with other poison or bone skills on hand. Mabye a few summons or just a golem...

I will probly do both of the builds suggested so far. Just the problem is a 4 socketed wep... I'll find it in NM so I'll just do an early game summoner till then.|||Yes zeal necro is pretty powerful, i did test on it in p8, i believe the best setup is the following(at end of vid):

|||If you don't like the crossbow, then how about building a necromancer around something kinda similar... like a Warshrike? I'm assuming, of course, that ladder uniques drop in SP.

Since you are SP you can fudge versions around to get some interesting stuff. You can also enable ladder-only runewords with a very minor mod that can be found in the SP forum. Here's some highlights:

Substantial Dex investment. Probably going to need about 300 in order to get a solid base atr and do decent damage with throw, and that will eat into your Vit a little.

20 Poison Dagger & Synergies. You're basically a daggermancer that throws daggers in addition to/instead of stabbing with them.

Heavy investment in Bone Armor and Synergies. You'll want to use Bone Wall/Prison to control where enemies move and use Bone Armor to protect your lousy health pool.

Heavy investment in Dim Vision. Ranged attackers could potentially rip you up.

100% HCMTF/+2 Necro Skill rare circlet w/ mods you find useful. I'm 90% certain that these items did, at one point, drop, and do not drop in 1.13.

Razortail Belt (obviously)

Infinity for your Merc. It will boost the nova damage, dramatically decrease the ATR you need to hit consistently with throw, and increase CE damage. Options for what kind of Merc are Might for damage output or Holy Freeze to help you survive charging into a mob and chucking Warshrikes to trigger and get milage out of the nova.

Alternatively, you can stick Faith on an A1 Merc. This will help your damage and atr considerably, especially with the added attack speed bonus.
