1.0 About me
Hello fellow gamers.
My name is Mario and i have plaid necromancer for several years now, always under the nick, DaRkE_Angel.
I started in public duels 1.08 and have continued trough 1.10.
Late in 1.09 i moved on to legit leauge duel and i find it very challanging interesting and funny.
My experience and practise, including many different playstyles and setups.
All theese experiences have made me what I am today, and with that knowledge i want to help you!
1.1 Skills
This is the skills you need for a 1v1 Necromancer:
-Bone Spirit
-Bone Spear
-Teeth
-Bone Wall
-Bone Prison
-Bone Armor.
-Weaken
-Fire golem
Bone Skills
Bone Spirit
Bone Spirit is your main attack. It has a good range so bone spirit is the skill you will find most handy to take down all your enemies.
It can be tricky to control, and its moving slow, but if you put up some hard training with friends, and try to remember how the bone spirit rows move towards him on the map, you will find your own way to control this skill.
Points in this skill : 20.
Bone Spear
Bone spear, is your secondary attack versus all characters.
It dont have the same range as bone spirit, and its more difficult to hit with this spell, since it dont have the ability to follow an enemy.
But this spell moves fast, compared to slow bone spirit, the damage is pretty simular to spirit, so once you manage to hit with this skill, it can take down anything.
This skill is mainly used versus fast, skilled enemies that know`s how to dodge your bone spirits.
Points in this skill : 20.
Teeth
Teeth is a skill with very low damage, it moves quite fast but as following of the low dmg, depending on your play style you may find this handy.
Teeth makes in avarange of normal level bone skills just ~140dmg and spear / spirit 700 / 750.
This means you have to hit 5 times with teeth / 1 Time with Spirit to take out the same ammount of life.
This skill is never usefull if you try to tank, howe ever you will find it handy for defense / to scare away enemies to keep them on distance for further snipe, of the powerfoul bone spirit.
Points in this skill : 20.
Bone Wall
As a fighting skill, bone wall is only usefull as protection.
This is a very nice skill, that you can use to avoid hits from enemies with range attack.
As following of synergies It makes your Bone Armor absorb more damage than 1 actuall point in bone armor. It also adds damage to all your attack`s .
Points in this skill : 20
Bone Prison
At the moment, bone prison is banned in all character battle`s, except versus passive charger, so you will only use this skill versus that kind of a peldin.
Anyhow this skill is also an synergy to your attack`s and bone armor. It has the same effect as bone wall, therefore
Point in this skill: 20.
Bone Armor
This skill, is handy versus all characters that makes physical damage.
The only thing that pirce this armor, out from physical damage is open wounds.
This means that the physical damage must be higher than your absorb ammount on bone armor, to actually take a single life from you.
If you have left over skills, and time for exp put free skills into this skill.
Tip : When you duel physical characters, hold your eye`s open, and be fast to recast this armor, never forget!
Curses
Weaken
Weaken is the only curse, that actually helps necromancer in 1vs1.
Your option is to put 1 skill point in this skill, this requires, 1 point in amplify and 1 point in weaken.
It only help versus physcal damage, and due of only 1 skill in this point, and no curse skillers it will have a very low radius, so it will only be handy versus barbarian and amasones that are moving close.
IF you have a hard time duelling barb, i reccomand you to put 1 point in this skill.
Summoning Skills
Fire Golem
You may find 1 point in firegolem, handy vs fireball sorc.
This creature is immune to fire and together with a fast reaction of bone wall block, it should be easy to dodge loads of fireballs.
If you follow my guidelines for skilling your necromancer, i reccomand minimum level 92 before you start duelling.
This will give you max damage.
All the damage you can get from synergies is needed, so your choice is what to do about bone armor, weaken and the skill fire golem.
This will give you max damage, and level`s are not making your character much stronger, the choice is yours.
1.2 Stats
Strenght
As in all other characters, you must have as low base strenght as possible.
Your base strenght depends on what armor you are going to use. If you are going to use an armor with faster run walk, you must be abel to use it wihtout strenght bug.
Dexterity
In 1vs1, you dont need to think about combo gear, so just be sure that you have 75 % block with the needed equip to duel physical characters.
To have exactly 75 % block is very important, the required dex increase with your level.
A calculator to figure this out, can be found here
Energy
The choice of statting energy is an big issue for all necromancers.
Depending if you play with mana % regenerate or not, i reccomand this :
Minimum 1300 mana with 25 + % regenerate ( for exampel mage fist)
Minimum 1600 mana if you dont have regenerate ( exampel, frost burns)
Vitality
After sucsess, with reaching my reccomanded mana limits, put all your remaining stats in vitality.
The more life you have, the better offcourse <3

1.5 Prepear for 1 vs 1, make taqtic`s
Making a tac` is based on your intelegence, its here you show rather you are a good player or not.
It`s not much, but this is what you should think about ;
-1. The speed of your enemies attack.
-2. The movement speed of your enemy.
-3. The Range of your and your enemies attacks- > Whats the best thing to do offensive or defensive?
-4. What movement can you do to decrease the enemies chance of hitting you, or makes it more difficult?
1.6 1 vs 1
Here are some general guide lines you should follow in duels :
- Never let your enemy come close.
- Always choose to avoid your enemies attack, instead of taking the shot hit her, and getting hit yourself.
- Think about the third point in your taqtic section, but never ever and i mean never go agressive!
-Try to figure out how bone spirit / spears and teeth floath also experience the range of those skills.. IF ! you use map hack, ( wich is not allowd in the leauge duels ) but in practice outside the pvp community, practice and study study study the ways of how the spells go.
Spam them, and remember how they walk, this will improve your aim.
I will not say more, the training is up to you, follow tough your taqtic`s and concentrate on those do not go otherwise.
Think, Breath and after that its time to train!
1.7 Before you enter a duel, REMEMBER .
-Before you enter a duel, remember to check theese few and simpel lines:
-Check if you have Max allowd % Damage reduce after the rules, when you are going to duell a character with physical damage.
-Use the exact ammount of faster % run walk, dont go less than the rules allow.
- Use the exact or as close you can, replensih life to the limits allowd in rules.
-Always use max resistant, and absorb after what the rules say you can, always double check this.
1.8 Safe and usefull links
Skill planner, version 1.10
Block calculator
Mana calculator
Synergy calculator
Spell damage calculator
1.9 Different formulas, for character factor calculations
Replensih life formula:
Replenish Life Forumula
(25 * "+Replenish Life") / 256 = Life Per Second
For example, if +5 Replenish Life:
(25 * 5) / 256 = .48828 Life Per Second
An easier-to-use approximation is +Replenish Life/10 = .50
Mana Regeneration formula:
The following formula is used to calculate how much Mana a character can regenerate per second:
25 * [[256 * max_mana / (25 * 120)] * (100 + %Mana Regeneration) / 100] / 256
Totals within the [ ] brackets are rounded down.
Blocking formula:
Total Blocking = (Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)
Blocking = A total of the Blocking on all of your items.
Note, within the blocking section :
If a player is moving, the total block percentage is reduced to 1/3rd of its original value
2.0 My final words
There is not much to say, I have used much time on this guide, so I hope someone like it.
Good luck with your necromancer.
Regards.

I suggest this build for anyone that want to own in pvm and pvp.... the find potion barbarian. This skill is very underrated and needs to be used and maxed out on every barbarian. You need:
20 find potion
20 find item
20 grim ward
10 increase stamina
10 increased speed
20 war cry
i in all prerequisites
Stat points:
+50 str (enough for armor)
+0 dex (worthless)
+10 vit
+ All Energy (to find all the potions you need and to scare away them monsters with grim ward)
This flawless barb will never need potions EVER again. You are set for life. And you dont need to fight either.
email me at to comment me on this awesome build.

You dont know how to build man It seems to me your telling us to max out
all of those skills I would go with bone prison than bone wall. And you cant even max out all of those skills you said.
This is what I would go with Max
Bone Spirit, bone prison Bone Spear, and max teeth.
And for the fire golem only summoners use them I would get a merc instead. Why never go agressive my bone necro does 1k on everything but teeth and I can own almost everyone.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with you on that one. It's really bad. He says "never go aggressive.", that is infact wrong, there are times when you have to go on the attack, you can't just shoot defensive bones all the time.
