The build:

Well I was pretty excited about this character. I like my builds to click in that weird (non-cookie-cutter) way, and this one did for me. I enjoyed my daggermancer and wanted to make another melee necro: he needs damage�I�ll make him a titan; he needs safety and CC�I�ll fill up the bone tree; I wanted to use CoA and steelrend�plenty of strength for both; I wanted to use �enigma� on a melee character�so I did; a moron is unnecessary�I�ll use an iron wolf. And then, heck, why not a blood golem too?? The one thing you might notice is that I loaded him up with my best charms to make up for the lack of resistances and +life on his gear. But that�s why I�ve been collecting stuff all this time, right?

Gamplay:

I played him through normal/NM as a boner, which was my first hands-on experience with that build. Pretty powerful.

In hell, sprinkle some amplify damage and zeal/zerk. It was easy enough to zeal through most situations, and he had a very nice leech working. When things got tough, I would just throw up bone walls/prisons until the monsters were separated. The range of a glorious axe was enough to hack things over the bone walls, which was nice. He was powerful enough to OHKO the weaker monsters all the way through A5.

Difficulties: The elemental damage from doom knights in A4 got to be pretty dangerous as bone armor doesn�t affect it. I also noticed poison damage a lot with this guy, for some reason. Also dangerous was any situation where I got sloppy and let his bone armor drop, or got swarmed. The frenzying tree guys in A3 were bad news. His AR was a weak point.

Finds:

He actually found several uniques, but they were all useless. The two I remember are windhammer and gravepalm. HF was an ist, which was probably the best possible result as I don�t need any more guls.

Fun? I would say so. The one cardinal rule of playing (non-godly) melee characters is: don�t get swarmed. And, when played with any degree of carefulness, this guy was pretty good at that, thanks to the awesome bone wall/prison pair. Combine that with the damage reduction from bone armor to stay out of hit recovery, and you�ve got something very playable. I would recommend this type of build to anyone looking for a change of pace. I bet it would be effective untwinked as well.

Thanks for reading. |||Gotta love the bone walls

nice build! did you ever use the HoW from passion?|||548!?!? Niiiice!

Always liked the thought of melee mancers. So many ways to help melee combat that others do not have. What made you go Titan? Did no dex hurt you any with AR?|||Quote:

Thanks. TBH, using those charges never occurred to me. But when I think about it, I don't think they would've helped at all. (only 12 charges on unrepairable item, HoW can get killed off..)

No doubt dexterity would have helped his AR. But I really wanted to build a true titan and figure out AR some other way. Titan because it helped his damage a lot (eth 2H weapon, little other ed bonuses..).|||Congrats on the Pat. Cool build. Were you able to resist the urge to use CE?|||I choked on my drink when I click the spoiler button. Nice Strength, lmao. Very unusual build too, I never saw that coming.

Good job! Having Amp readily available to a melee char must be really awesome fun.|||Quote:








Congrats on the Pat. Cool build. Were you able to resist the urge to use CE?




Thanks. And to answer your question, yes until the chaos sanctuary.. but all those damn OKs shooting elemental stuff, packs of monsters all tight together.. So I did use it a little at the end. But it was more to speed things along than because it was really necessary.

Thanks. I try.

I've loved my two melee necros for that very reason: I heart amp.|||Nice build! Congrats

A nice black 2H sword would awesome on a melee necro also!|||Quote:

Thanks! I don't really try too hard to make my characters look cool in-game. Maybe I should? Anyway, a black 2H sword would have been encroaching too much into maxicek's territory . (see Elric)|||There have probably been others that I haven't seen, but this is the first time I have seen a build with maxed bone armor. Most other builds just max the synergies, but not bone armor itself. Extra style points! Well done.
