I ALWAYS get Amplisa. What a whore...

How fast are you trying to make it thru Act 1? What level do you typically hit?

EDIT: Oh shit, it's my birthday.

Happy Birthday =)

oh nice! bone necro has always been my most played class in D2 (mainly because they're often called boners and when i was 12 that was the funniest thing in the world to me). loved your last melee sorc adventure, hopefully this one lasts longer,

Pure boner is pretty fun. It's a build I used and Lower Resist goes well with it. Magic Damage is too good cuz even in hell there would only be a handful of monsters that have magic resistance.

Oh yeah, try turning the map on so that you'll be able to see the waypoints even if they are behind trees.

except even your mercenary does more damage than your main skill.. bone is weak. spear and spirit both.

I remember trying to build a bonemancer but I got depressed at about lvl 40 because his dmg is basically the same as a hammerdin without Concentration D:

yea i think bonemancers are more for PVP than PVE

*edit
haha i realized that if i said boners instead of bonemancers in the above phrase it could easily be interpreted differently

As someone who always goes bonemancer, I wish you the best on this HC quest! Bonemancers really don't do that much damage; I usually used Corpse Explosion. Since you're not going to use CE, I hope you'll use some funky curses, no one invests in stuff like Confuse, but it's awesome.

Well, until it starts lasting for like 2 seconds in hell. D:

Good luck, I really enjoyed your sorc adventure. Hopefully this one is just as good, but longer!

Uhh no. For bonemancers amp is the way to go, as merc does most of the non-ce damage anyway so you have to leverage off his damage output

There's one pic that's 404'd on chapter 3. Was that on purpose? Doesn't really seem like it.

It all looks fine from my computer, but I have all the originals.

Is it the third picture from the bottom? If not, what text is around it? The more specific, the easier it is for me to pinpoint the error I've made.

I'm having an awful time with writer's block today. I've spent more than an hour staring at screenshots and I have about three sentences to show for it. Personally, I blame the Jail section of Act 1. So, instead of trying to write something, I've decided to pander to the audience and create a poll.

I haven't been too sold on how interesting the direction of my character's build is. Teeth is too strong for Act 1 and Amplisa is a bit of a dunce (more on that in Chapter 4). I have a few ideas for what direction I want to go in, so I thought I would make a poll to see what everyone thought and then use a respec to go that way. My horoscope said that it was a good idea, so what could possibly go wrong?

Poll: What path do I choose?

Less minions, more Bone Spear! (8)

57%

Level revives and mastery! (3)

21%

Give Foofy more personality! (level clay golem) (3)

21%

14 total votes

Your vote: What path do I choose?

(Vote): Level revives and mastery!
(Vote): Give Foofy more personality! (level clay golem)
(Vote): Less minions, more Bone Spear!

If clay golem wins, I'll definitely be forced to use Corpse Explosion because a 450 damage Bone Spear and clay fists won't be cutting it for damage in hell. Of course having a helpful companion also has its own advantages.

I'll be trying to get rid of this headache with a nice cup of tea.
