In hell mode, EVERYTHING has a base magic resistance of around 50, that means every single monster, including Fallen from Act One.
Unless your bonespear does 43234123 damage, you'll be only doing half what you're doing now, and that's not enough in hell mode.

Nah Troop, that's a lie. I can beat Diablo with one Iron Golem simply by buying a lightning resist item at town, and there's no hassle in having to find an item, it's Nightmare mode dude, the Iron Golem has more health, damage, and included it has thorns, and a base resist to everything. The Clay Golem is just a starter golem, it gets beaten out by all the other golems down the line, both in health, resist, and damage.

And I don't see any difficulty in having to find an item, in fact, that only makes Iron Golem a thousand times better, because you can get resistances, and etc added to your golem by buying certain items, it makes bosses 500 times easier, and he's good in PVP too, because a level 20 Iron Golem usually means instant death, even if there's only one hit.

PS - Anyone who is still bothering about "Mana cost" in Nightmare mode has one bad character.

That was a random number dude.

Scatty is right in saying that Bone Spear (or bone damage) practically enter a category of it's own. My first ever char was a Necromancer, and I always been extremely surprised by how much damage you can do with it. Not only it's really powerfull, but the spear have the Amazon go thru skill base build in... Meaning that if you fight a mob of monsters, you simply aim somewhere in the group and you are sure to hit at least 1/3 of them with every spear you cast.

Scatty, that's cool. I guess the rest of my skill points shall continue to go into Bone Spirit and Teeth after. Bone Spear gets 7% damage from any skill that adds synergy to it. I guess that it will be a killer when I get Teeth maxed out (well, the least damage it will do - will be more than 2K). Bone Spear is maxed and now lvl29. I was actually concerned about Bone Spirit more, cause it's the higher key of bone skills, but the downside of it seems to be that it targets one enemy (although I think it partially can damage enemies that it flies near at). I'll write you down my skill point distribution on these to figure out what damage I will do when Teeth, BSPear, BSpirit will be maxed out. I guess they can be around 3K or so, but that shall require a quite bit of lvls; your chars are 93lvl at minimum .

Off I go!

P.S. Why aren't you guys in B.NET!!!!! :wallbash:

LOL, I know - this was more aimed at BP, he's back and is not online .
BTW - my skillpoints as promised:

*The numbers in () are with items

Summoning:
Clay Golem: 14 (16)
Golem Mastery: 8 (10)
Blood Golem: 1 (3)

PnB:
Teeth: 3 (13)
Bone Armor: 1 (11)
Corpse Explosion: 1 (8)
Bone Spear: 20 (29)
Bone Spirit: 14 (21)

Curses: one in each (except Lower resist) (3 each)

With this info I would like to know what kind of damage I do with Bone Spear and Bone Spirit (I'm not good at calculating these things). BTW, the damage can't be the one displayed - can it? Cause for lvl's like this it should be double'd. Plz check these out for me.

I never play on BattleNet. I can't stand the stupid lag there, even tough I'm on cable and I should not be lagging.

I only play singleplayer... If you want to play with me, we'll have to both use a singleplayer char on TCP/IP or open Battlenet.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Open B.net only lags five hundred times worse, how would that help things? :P

[Eagle of Fire]

I never said openbattlenet is better than battlenet... It's only that it's the only way, along with TCP/IP, to get a singleplayer char to play with other singleplayer chars.
