Anyone want to play D2 with me? (non expansion)

[Renji]

USWEST Right?

I'll so be there!

[Zinmasterb]

I've decided to roll a summonmancer so I can stock up on mf gear without having to reduce my kill power.
I'll look up some guides on it right now, I'll probably be good to go soon.
Never rolled a necro (seriously) before, so this'll probably be pretty interesting.

Lol Scorpp and I were going to team up and do that. Instead, I think I'll just put all my points into Teeth. >:}

Dentist^
Seriously though, with three people spamming skellies with maxed mastery, clay golems, life tap, decriptify, and then corpse explosion or revive we could have 30 skellies, 3 golems, beating down on packs of nearly destroyed mobs that are moving slowly due to decriptify+clay golems, all the while getting phat lootz.
I like.

Imagine if you had a hammerdin in there aswell.

Alright, just pulled this out of a guide written by Kirbix on the Gamefaqs website:

OK, so I've been rambling on about the damage that a skeleton can do, right?
Well, here's the rundown of just how much damage you can expect from your
skeletons.

FIRST, we'll show what kind of damage they'll do when you and your mercenary
are both naked.

Level 20 skeleton and mastery= 124-127 damage
Level 17 might (just for the sake of a number)= +200%
So triple your damage to 372-381
Now, add on amplify damage to get your final damage of 744-762

~~~

Meh, with 8 skeletons, that's pretty lame, am I right? So, let's up the volume!
Using the optimum equipment I suggested, you'll have +14 to all skills. Assuming
you have perfect equipment, you'll also be using a hellfire torch (+3 necro
skills), an annihilus (+1 to all skills), and 8 +1 to summoning grand charms.

Which means that with marrowalks, you'll have level 46 raise skeleton and level
48 skeleton mastery.

Raw damage per skeleton (and you have 17)- 830-834.
Using a mercenary with level 20 might- 230%
Perfect pride weapon gives level 20 concentration- 345%
Total bonus? 575%, which means you get another 4700 damage.
Total damage? 5500. Add on amplify damage, and that's 10,000 PER SKELETON, and
you have 17!

If you plugged fanatacism in as well, you'd have 670% extra damage, which
means you get an additional 2,000 damage per skeleton. >_> at 10,000 damage
per skeleton, added with corpse explosion, do you see why it's beating a
dead horse? I mean, come on! 170,000 damage per swing is QUITE enough, I think.

edit: Now lets just assume we were doing 10k damage per skelly w/ 9 of em each when we reached chaos tristram. Between you, scorpp, and I we could kill the uber bros (who have 650k-660k health), assuming the skellies hit at 5 frames (I think that's the default as w/o fru's) within 6 seconds. lol.
edit2: Just found a skill calculator. Been looking around, here's the link for anyone that wants it.

tl;dr So we have all decided to put all our points in teeth, am I right?
