I use iron maiden + clay golem for normal bosses. Keep iron maiden up on the boss and just re-summon the clay golem on top of it. (iron maiden = 200% reflected damage) They kill themselves for me.

Grats on the diablo kill.

I found this in act 3. Put my stealth on my merc so I can swap to it if I need it.

I also completed the Insight runeword for my merc. I got a lvl 16 Meditation aura. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Level 38 atm at the start of Act 2. I'm slightly under level for where I'm at due to it being hardcore. Still have not found a Dol or Io runes to make White. Or a Wand with 2 sockets that has +3 bonespear or something else useful.

Thumbs up

My act 2 nightmare went really smoothly. spent some time farming rocky tomb and halls of the dead for exp. Still no Dol or Io runes. No luck finding a +3 Bone Spear 2 socket wand either.

Bone Wall makes the beetles out in the desert easy.

I'm such a hoarder. I hate having to choose between gems, runes and items.

Having lots of fun with this challenge. Diablo 2 is such a classic that still is better then a lot of modern games.

Nightmare was interesting nothing too special to report. So here are some Nightmare boss kills.

Mephisto Bone Wall For the win! There is Stygian Dolls; undead Fetishes on route to mephisto that were tearing through my bone armour and into my health. When they die the basically corpse explode. Tiny mob, runs fast, terribly hard to see in the dark.

Diablo, He was a bit tricky with Bone Wall because of his breath attack but it helped lock him in place so I could bone spear him off screen.

Baal bows before me.
You can see all my dead clay golems here. They acted as a distraction so he would melee it and not summon tenticles, clones, fire or push back cold.

On to Hell for me, Level 60.
No idea what level other people are but I think I'm in the lead. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do believe you are in the lead Baler, but the season does not end for a few months and there is still plenty of time for you to die [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't say that. I've been clogging up my inventory with +health charms trying to prevent that! I even spent some time practicing my exit game muscle memory while I listened to this :song:.

As long as I stay out of my Bone Prison I should be okay. Those stygian dolls, undead fetishes may do me in.
I've been taking it a lot slower lately now that I'm into hell. just rounded 65 yesterday.

random art I found.

iron maiden isn't so great in nm/hell. mob health scales a lot faster than damage.

Ugh I said Bone Wall in my last post, I meant Bone Prison. Bone Prison doesn't work on Baal because he can teleport.

Yes I agree. Just want to re-mention that I said normal bosses for iron maiden. Bonemancer can't afford to spend the extra 3 points in the curse tree to get decrepify. Though I do have it (+2) on a preserved head. But I don't use it.

A classic summoner needs those extra curses to help keep his army alive on bosses.

-
Side topic for trash mobs...
so Corpse Explosion is 50% fire & 50% physical. Being one of the best go to spells for necromancers. It is worth debating on which curse combines best with it.

Amplify Damage - Lowers the Physical Resist of the enemy monsters by 100%
||
Decrepify - Lowers movement, attack speed, damage and physical resistance by 50%.

The only bonus I see from Decrepify is lowering attack speed(Like how slowing mobs is good in EQ). Mobs movement speed is pretty null for both summoners(summons slow down mobs) and boners (bone wall || bone prison). At which point Amp Damage is the better choice for damage, even by skeletons.

In my opinion there is only 2 worth while curses. Amp Damage & Lower Resist.
