Then, instead of Beast weapon, get a hoto. Instead of Nigma you use brambles (because it greatly improves nova's damage) and use a Act I merc with faith bow (stronger fanatism). I will only suggest a variant, that i dunno if it will work or not, but just for testing: I agree with everything else, specially the items (people usually overlook the fanatism aura from runewords wich works amazeling well with skeletons). Instead i would put those points in Poison Explosion/Dagger to synergize with nova, increasing it damage by alot more, expecially because PN hit everything in the screen at once.Īnd I suggest the last 3 points could be spent in Din Vision, Confuse and Attract (some times they are very usefull).Īnd since you're using Nova i would stick with Mara's. Those 19 points will increase the damage of each skeletons by something like 40(avg.). They damage are very low even if you're using Lower Resist. They buffed the two bests offensive skills for PvM (Ce and PN) instead of buff underpowered ones like Mages and the other poisons. If you are looking to save points you can take a few out of CE, though with 10 points in CE, it should clear a room out due to it's large radius. With that in mind, you could either put the last three into CE, Bone Armor, or you could complete the Curse tree by getting Dim Vision, Confuse, and Attract. You could put them in Bone Spirit or Bone Spear, but our damage will be coming from Poison Nova and Corpse Explosion, with Teeth for psn immunes. We don't have Bone Wall or Bone Prison, but we receive the Bone Wall charges from our boots. This leaves us with 3 skill points wherever you want. Skills: (requires cLvl of 96 if you complete the Skill quests) Weapons1: Beast or Arm of King Leoric / Homunculus.Energy: Do not put anything here, it's a waste!.Vitality: Dump the rest of your points here.If you happen to take damage, you'll have Bone Armor on. Max block isn't a big deal here, you won't be tanking at all.

Basically, you only need enough Dexterity to use all of your items. However, as of now, you can respec your character if you overfill your Dex.

Dexterity: This also depends on how rich you are in-game.
