I checked today and have nothing at all in curses, in fact I leveled the
skellymancer and zealot to 90 today. So now I have a point saved on the
necro know I need one more just to get something in Iron Maiden, what a
bummer, getting another level on this one will be a long haul.

Did that, I should have said curses instead of spells, a 90 bone necro, no
curses. He was having trouble keeping a decent pulse rate so I had to put
some points in bone armor. Bone wall is his primary defense if needed
although it becomes a pain in the ass at times. When in a party I have to
use bone wall selectively so I don't create a defensive mess and slow the
game down, people bitch too much. Although I'll say they're pretty quiet
when their sorry asses are about to be bombarded with an army of minions and
they see that bone wall materialize in front of them oh they just love me
then and the mess I make
🙂). Some parties just seem to have a good mix
where all the minions just lay down in front of them and then you get in a
party where you'd swear you were in there with a bunch of lvl 30's in hell
difficulty, I know you've been there. I couldn't tell you how many times
I've tp'd into the throne room and gone for the biggest pack of those bad
boys being a zealot and find myself like the Lone Ranger getting ready to go
down in a Blaze of Glory like a double dead meat loser
🙂 You don't dare
break off the engagement because you need that leech to stay alive, the
minute you try to run all you're seeing is St. Peter standing there with all
your dead relatives calling you a loser! What I really like is when the
party is arguing about who should run the gauntlet to the throne room, then
a couple people drop out so I decide to run it and have no teleport
capabilities, make it to the throne room, throw the tp, and find there's
nobody left in the game but me
🙂) I guess they're too lame to pull up the
party screen and monitor what's going on.
I started a cold sorc this afternoon, had a 94 cold sorc that went
non-ladder, it didn't have much for an alternative to blizzard and orb, this
one I'll be a little more careful with, got a bunch of tal stuff and it'll
be a good place for it.
I sure would like to see a Diablo III.
