Excellent job Kaytie. I've never made it that far myself, so don't feel bad
if you get the urge to play a new character instead of continuing...ad
nauseum. :) Each person seems to like a different aspect of the game.
congrats.

Hi
yeah after 89 it real hard to lvl unless you do baal alot or pubbie
games. That only reason my necro been leveling so much he can solo baal
run. Last ladder my Sorc got to 92 even though she couldnt solo baal
only cuz I did TONS of pit runs with her that she still got enuff exp
to get 92 but after that even pit runs didnt move her exp bar much and
then ladder reset so she didnt get newhere near as far past 92 than
necro has.

Conga rats Kaytie. 93 is the highest I've ever gone with a b.net/1.10
character too. LOL, my first MF necro last ladder. :-)
My curent necro exprienced his first death for weeks last night. Lag in the
AS in a players 4 game (mule dragging) when fighting two boss packs of
ghosts, both bosses unbreakable PI with other, nasty mods. I'm back down to
92.6 now instead of 92.7. Corpse recovery required lots of blues so I could
Bone Spirit those bosses to death.
Incidently, all mules got a Pul for their forge. Not bad but not great. Also
a little strange, I wonder what the odds are? (Other than a group who seem
to be affiliated with 'the ends' <g>)
Have fun.

Thanks Kaytie, I thought about it but as I was only spitting distance from
the WP it was quite easy really. Just took a while and I had to buy another
belt to put the blues in and a row of reds for my merc as he couldn't leech
from them. Three trips I think it was. :-)

Yes, not too bad. Better than the last three mules I rushed through. I got
Lum, Fal, Io from them. I must have 8 Io's now. Pul and Um is awesome in
comparison to that.

Congratulations!
That's definitely a feat not many of us ever accomplish. Go Kaytie!

You mean your Cheaterdin :) Hehehe j/k, if I had known that hammers
affect everything but the Big Furballs, I'd probably have made one too
last season. But then, green hat, black shield with a white cross, and
gray baton just looks too silly :)

Use Attract, but only if they are non Maggots or Grotesques. Turning
innocent baby maggots or little pups against their mothers is just
cruel. PETA would come down and seize your CDs if you do!

Hmmm what's that spell to suck the life out of bloodless victims? It
may be worthwhile to use that whatever spell in this situation.

You mean there are more curses than just amp and decrep? I've actually never

Can't have that. :-)

Life tap. I need to allocate two skill points to get it, I have one already
so next level up I'll get life-tap. :-)
Nice to 'see' you Alice.

Not sure life tap will actually help though. It might, but it also
might not. I would think it shouldn't, as while it allows you to
leech life from unleechables, it should still requires you to do
physical damage to them.
But then again, this is Blizzard programmers we're talking about. ;p

Good point. I think it may have helped in this case as I was able to break
the PI-ness the minions of said nasty bosses. The merc would have then been
able to leech from the minions at least and may have survived the ordeal a
bit better. Then again, I guess life tap would have over ridden decrep and
made them PI again. Hmmmm......
However, my main motivation in getting life tap (a curse I usually don't
bother with on a summoner) is in case I get a chance to go to UT before I
have my freezealot ready. At least the necro could then either play a
supporting role in multiplayer. If he goes by himself I dare say he'll use
decrep or amp.

Atract and Confuse are two of the most under-rated sklls in the game. They
have so many uses...getting the first corpse. IMing a group of melee
monsters and then Attracting one (attract over-writes EVERYTHING), setting a
bunch of PI ghosts to hit each other pointlessly so you can escape, making
gloams tickle each other...

Curses are like Golems: 1 point in each.

I've heard this. However, it's just something I've never done. With my
necro's, just using amp and decrep, I never have to walk away from monsters.
They ALL die. :-)
I have invested points in dim vision with both this last SC necro and my HC
necros. It helped a lot in HC but, with the SC guy, I've used it maybe twice
and didn't really need it.

I have a level 92 necro from last ladder with exactly this, one point in
each. (And quite a few +skills). I might have to take him for a run and
play. :-)
