Irdamage's psn/summonmancer
Intro
I originally decided to build this char, bcuz i came across a deaths web and decided wth. However i had to debate between secondary skills. I chose skeletons and skele mastery. I chose these over revives for early killing power.
Skills
Max raise skeleton- Its important that you put ur initial points into this skill, as they will be your main killing power early in the game.
Max psn dagger- Just a synergy
Max psn explosion- This can b used if u want, but pretty much useless
Max-psn nova- Your main killing power.
Rest into skeleton mastery- This will be your final skill to add to just to give those skelies some more power
Stats
Str- I cant stress enough...JUST ENOUGH FOR ITEMS JEFI
Dex- Now i chose to max block bcuz of novas range, so either no points or enough for max block
Vit- rest
Energy- None
Items
I will post my items in the first slot and alternatives after. Keeping in mind since ur also using skelies so ur gonna want + to all skills not only PnB- so therefor were not gonna wanna use the trang ghouls 3 items.
Helms:
Shako=Pretty much the standard for most caster chars, awesome helm with skills+life+mana
Rare Circlet=Godly helm, usually expensive as hell though so i wouldnt recomend it
Lore (ort+sol)= Very nice and very cheep item.
Armor:
COH medium armor=Great armor, skills,resist,dmg reduction.
Enigma=this is more of a pvp armor but useful for the r/w and tele. the str ,skills, and dmg reduction is quite good though.
Bramble= probably the best alternative to COH, it makes up for lack of skills with massive psn boost + a usefull thorns aura for ur skelies
ViperMaji= always a good resource for skills cast rate and resistance, if u can find an uped one all the better
Shield
Homonoculus= Great all around shield perfect with an um in it
Boneflame=Another good choice, resists,r/w,and 3 nec skills if good.
Darkforce SpawnA possible 3 to all necro skills and 30%fcr and a massive defence.
StormShield= Good shield with some nice resists and dmg reducition ^_^ but unless ur gonna max block u dont really need it
Weapon
Deaths Web=Hands down the best psn necro wand can hav ea total +4 to psn skills and huge -enemy psn resistance
Wiz Spike=Very good alternative, great resistance,great mana,good fcr
Black hand Key=couple to skills.good fcr, life and a fire resist mod, a nice choice
Black bogs=A very good weapon for the skills, but DONT be tempted to using psn dagger with this wpn bcuz you are NOT melee.
Gloves
Trang gloves= THE ONLY GLOVES TO B USED
Frostburns= You can use these until strong enough to use trangs
Boots
Marrow walks= Good boots, could b used for the bone prison bug but were just usin it for the skelton mastery and str bonus
Sandstorm trecks=Usefull for the str and vit mods
Silkweaves=Just incase u run out of mana
Rings
x2soj= U almost hafta use these to keep up mana, and the skills are good aswell
ravenfrost+manald=A cheaper solution but still useful for the dex and cannot b frozen
Amulets
Mara's=Great ammy,skills,resists, and stats wut more could ya ask for?
Crafted = well though non legit, GREAT things to have perfect for a necro, skills,resists,fcr everythin
Inventory
If you can afford it ule want to bring in as many PnB and summoning skill charms as possible. More or less depending on which area you wish to be more powerful in. I personally went with PnB. An anni is a veerrry wonderful little thing, go for it if you can afford. other whys fill the rest with life/mana small charms.

Strategy
PVM: Start off with the weakest monsters available ie:act 1. cast amp, then spam novas while ur merc attacks, summon skelle and continue till you have all ur skellies. When dealing with hordes i find it easier to spam a few novas and then use corpse explosion, also works with the psn immunes if ur skelies and merc cant handle.
PVP: I will assume that you are using Enigma, if not run ur @$$ off
Barbs: These ppl can b troublesome if there ww, usually a good idea to tele around them spamming nova. If they are concentraters, u can tele right on top and let them go at ur minions, then spam till dead
Zons:All i can say is damn u auto aim -_-, but zons can b a breeze or a nightmare. Bowers will most likely use auto aim, so youl need to tele near them right away and spam, there gonna use guided so itl take on ur minions so ule b fine. If there CS ...then theres a bit of a problem. if there godly ur gonna hafta work hard. telenear them and spam away, keep urself on the run so they cant get u or ur minions.
Pallies For starters if they are melee pallies, there almost gauranteed dead. unless they have good resist, then it may take a little time to wittle em down, but ur minions can tank for u.If FOHers' there done aswell ur minions will take the hits, u just spam away. now if hammerdins u may have a problem ide suggest tele below them and spam...just so ule have the advantage of havin a couple seconds to spam and then tele again
NecrosIf there a fellow psn/summoner ...pretty much who can tele and spam faster i spose. If a bonemancer ur gonna hafta tele like a mad man, cuz there usually gonna spam spears which cut through ur minions like a hot knife through butter. so tele and spam and run like hell
AssasinsIf ww tele around there ww's and spam let em wear themselves out on the minions. If trappers, then u got a small challange, but keep after them and tele constantly to avoid MB and just spam till dead
SorcsWith all sorcs its about gettin the hit in then takin off, most sorcs will just spam right back at you so youle hafta learn how they move and counter
Druids Melee...if there dumb enough to come after u ...teach em a lesson with a one two noca knockout. If there windys ur gonna have a hell of a time. they usually have minions aswell and hel be coming strait for u and if u get frozen ur almost screwed beyond belief, but just tele away and spam and tele.
