Bone spells?

That just popped out in my head. Just thinking.

I played Diablo 2 for a long time with the Necromancer and my build was always the Bone Necro.

Clay Golem
Prayer merc with insight.
Bone armor
Bone spear
Decrepify
Edit: Corpse explosion

That was my build.

Actually, there is no way to create a similar build in PoE (other than temporal chain) and that is the purpose of this topic.

There is no Tank minion and nothing that is comparable to bone spells. I don't know, it could be using chaos damage or implementing magic spells that only the amount of life your character got was the way to counter it.

Would like to have others opinions.

Well zombies are kinda supposed to be the more tankish minions... Together with minion life and the minion ele resist gem and maybe buffed by some of your auras and the new unique Mon'tregrul's Grasp you are probably as close to a tank minion you can get.

EDIT: you could try to incorporate Artic armor or Molten shell, aren't they kinda like the bone armor?

EDIT2: don't get me wrong, i would LOVE more skill gems, more choises are always good, i'm just triing to find some skills/equipment which would allow you to at least make a rought version of your necro build ;)

Oh, I didn't know about that unique item.

Sounds interesting.

Maybe you can dual-wield it haha.

Edit: Yeah thank you for the inputs haha

I see you have seen my edits. Seems like one of my worst forum habits that i edit my post far to often (and not only to correct typos as you can see :p)

I've been further thinking on what could represent your mentioned skills, the bone spear could be represented by Etheral knives with Pierce (EK is the only non ele projectile spell AFAIK), while Decrepify could be a combination of Vulnerability and Temporal Chains (dual curses ftw)

EDIT: also damn you - i just wanted to go to bed, and here i am, back at the online skill tree ;)

Still interesting. As you can see I'm not at all on the north side of the passive tree. I don't really like to have a minion crowd around me but building around having 1 tank is quiet fun.
You can use a bow n pretend youre casting spells. I liked bone spear too. That spell was awesome.

And teeth was fun. just. kinda pointless damage wise though.

it was amazing for pvp teleport harass
Would love a golem type minion that is extremely tanky and able to wear gear.

Minions have been a mess for a long time though, so we probably won't have anything like that for ages, if at all. We can't even get decent tooltips.

edit: OP mentioned decrepify. I guess that was it. I'll check the necro curses in a bit to make sure. ah. Maybe it was lower resist?


No curse could buff magic damage. So the way I worked if I was alone agaisnt Diablo (for example). I used the merc to chill Diablo and decrepify to slow it. Ending with a non-moving boss.

In group it was different. I used Amplify damage for melee groups or lower resist for caster groups and was asking others to not overcurse me since my build was always OP.

Amplify damage combined with corpse explosion was deadly.
Bone Spear > All. Especially with my +8 Spear White =)
