P.S.2 DAMN, the worst day even - lost about 600K gold, almost got scammed AND lost 3 runes amking White. I traded Hel for a Dol and I put the Dol+Io to a magical 2 socket wand - F*CK, it didn't transform.
Now I am scared to make a damned runeword - I put a Shael into a 3 socket Black Hades Chaos Armor the other day (it's a unique) and I fear that I may have ruined it, cause I don't think it would transform into Duress. Damned f*cking day...

You can create runewords only in normal socketed items (gray), in magic, rare or unique items it will do nothing but give only the effect of the runes to that item.

Does anyone know any good interesting Necro builds? I'm tired of the old summoner/bone build.

[Scatty]

Well, there is the poison dagger nec for example, but he shouldn't be able to survive in Hell anymore. Also you can make a curse-power necromancer with maxed curses, but he would depend entirely on party. Can't think of much more, that much a necromancer doesn't have to offer.

Blah, I'm just going to make a Necro Overlord then, I don't like the class much, I just want to play it because I never really do.

[Hamster of Doom]

You could try a Melee-Necro or a Necro-Ranger. I have seen guides for these two not long ago.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Mind finding a link for the ranger one?
Not too interested in melee characters, I have a zeal-shock paladin and a frenzy barbarian already.

Why aren't you online, BP? Nevermind, I'm coming tomorrow to battle.net and we can meet then.
I myself have a lvl57 Cursing-ClayGolem-BSpear-Melee/Ranger-Necro. An all around you can say .
P.S. What's the "Overlord Necro" like? What skills does he use?

BTW, Scatty - yeah, found out that only grey items work . Damn, I also used a Shael in a 3 socket unique armor (still don't know what faster hit recovery does), thus having to even the odds by putting 2 P Skulls there .

MP is a bit more fun - getting a rush, trading for some useful stuff (why didn't Blizzard make a shop with good items + runes? They could be priced for 20 times as much they're worth, but it'd be more fun to actually get better stuff. I mean - who finds Zod's??? My highest find was IO and it's in the lowerhalf of the rune list.

BTW, play D2 more often, people. I need a 4os shield pronto!
I need runes, and I need them now.

Overlord Necro maxes out Skeletons, Skeleton Mastery, Revive, and distributes points evenly between Fire Golem, Golem Mastery and Summon Resist, it's basicly just a build that focuses completely on summons.

The thing is, it's a very deceiving class, you'd think the summons get weak near Hell mode, yet people can beat Diablo and Baal on Hell mode with 2 or 3 armies (resummoned).

I have to disagree with this opinion, cause #1 downside of a skeleton and revived creature army is this - if there aren't enough monsters to summon forth an army - your dead. Blizzard could've made at least 3 maximum golems per character. That way summoners wouldn't have to rely purely on dropped bodies. Golems are way more powerful, but I can only have one at all times, they could've made 1 of each possible at the same time. That would've made a necro more versatile and powerful.
