To the point:

Gear:
(Gear listed in order of most to least favorable)

Helm:
Harlequin Crest-Shako
or
Rare +2 fcr/pris Circlet

or
*Gloom's Trap - Mesh Belt

Gloves:
Trang Oul's Claws - Mesh Gloves
or
Magefist - Light Gauntlets

Boots:
Silkweave - Mesh Boots
or
Waterwalk - Sharkskin Boots

Weapon:

Primary Weapon:
"Heart of the Oak" - Flail
or
*Boneshade - Lich Wand

Secondary Weapon:
"Call to Arms" - Flail

Shield:

Primary Shield:
Darkforce Spawn - Bloodlord Skull (ladder only)
or
'Um' Boneflame - Succubus Skull
or
*Homunculus - Hierophant Trophy

Secondary Shield:

--------

Amulet:
Mara's Kaleidoscope - 30 All Res/5 All Attributes
or
Rare +2 necro/10fcr
or
*Magic +3 Poison and Bone Skills

Rings:
1 Stone of Jordan and 1 Fcr/life/mana/res rare ring
or
1 Stone of Jordan and 1 Wisp Projector
or
2 Stone of Jordan's
or
2 Rare Fcr/life/mana/res rings


*Note: Worst-case scenario/next best option

Skills:

Put points to these skills in this order:

Teeth: 20
Bone Spear: 20
Lower Resist: 1
Bone Spirit: 20
Bone Prison: 20
Bone Wall: *Pending

*Note: All remaining points distribute here. Will max at lvl 98.

Overview:
With the primary equipment (best) listed, one should recieve +14 to Poison and Bone skills... as well as +14 to curses (if using trangs gloves), not only will one have very decent +skills, but also very decent faster cast... with select equipment (most favorable) one would obtain somewhere between 110%-130% faster cast, depending on whether one choses rare ring/soj combo or fcr ammy over maras. All prerequisites included, this build will max at lvl 98 w/lvl 20 bone wall, thus maxing all synergies for Spirit, and the 1 to Lower resist will allow an extra 60% magic damage (with +skills items). This is mainly a pk character, but will do decently pvm as long as they have supplemental party members, things like 'Conviction' and 'Holy Freeze' keep this build happy during pvm... u can also use decrepify and amp if u wish, and at lvl 15 (+skills items) each curse will substantially increase the destructive power of your party. Now all calculated out... w/o any p&b gc's this setup should bring you around 5.7k max at lvl 98.. and this is w/o the possible +11 from an inventory full of pb gc's and anni :) and remember, this is all outside of the extra -60% magic resistance stacked on by lower res so basically, this build enables one to tele as fast as a sorc, launch massive amounts of spirits between tele's... and basically rape any melee character w/lvl 15 im at your disposal... hope it helps

ack, can't find anywhere!? the only trangs this build requires is gloves.. and they're worthless, what realm/ladder you on? i don't know about europe but i know on west/east both L and NL gloves are easiest part of the set by a LONG shot..

Lower Resist Doesn't Lower Magical Resistances, Nor Does Conviction, No? Correct Me If I'm Wrong, But I Hear From Most People I Know That What Your Saying Is Wrong. Nice Build Though.

i just got 1 thing to tell u. try this. dont add any points whatsoever to bone prison. instead use marrowalks. theyll give u a lvl 33 synergy effect which in turn will give u a big boost of damage + less skill points are used. try it trust me it works.


this only works if u dont add any points to bone prison.

instead of maras use storm circlet, way better for necros and sorcs. i would go for an fcr build, u would lose like +6 skills but be a lot faster

True, LR doesn't increase Bone Spirit damage, only elemental, and BS is magic.

damn, ah well thx for clearin that up, then use decrep i would guess... maybe it would slow 1 enough to make runnin pointless..(make it on foot too slow to avoid bs) and yes i know i meant to add marrow bug i just forgot to edit it, and don't wanna take the time.. as for storm c, i play ladder so i don't know the duped rares for xpac, went directly from classic to xpac ladder after 1.10 came out -_-
