I planned ahead on my necromancer and this is how it will be hopefully on Hardcore.

Golem Mastery: 20
Blood Golem: 1
deceptify: 1
Iron Maiden: 20
Corpse Explosion: 7 (7 is for the range)
Bone Armor: 1 (can't hurt, can it? Especially for Hardcore )
Bone Spirit: 20
***These are the first skills I plan to have by level 71 or so....if I somehow make it that far. Lol. My stats for level 99 if my a miracle I ever do reach it would be as follows:

Strength: 170 (Ornate Plate)
Dexterity: 25 (original starting stat, I'll add none)
Vitality: 275 (this is HARDCORE remember...)
Eneergy: 100 (should be enough for Bone Spirit, if not I'll just wait for the gauge to fill up in 120 seconds, I am usually very patient , but against bosses I'll have to use mana potions obviously.)

My battle strategy of course is use the ol' Iron Maiden trick. Use my Blood Golem as the bait. Then from behind my good ol' Blood Golem use my Bone Spirit.

P.S. Is anything resistant to Bone Spirit in Hell mode? If so, what? A couple more questions, is the Attract spell worth vesting into? Is Amplify worth much if I have a point into Deceptify? And finally is Weaken a good spell even for Skill Level# 1 in Hell? Or for that matter are ANY of my skills that have 1 point gonna last me in Hell. *Bone Armor helps for sure. Because if I have a level 1 Armor and a strong monster breaks the Armor that left-over damage don't hurt you! That's good.

If you have the answer to any of my questions, I'd be much obliged. Thank you for your time.

I made a coupld mistakes all. Everything's the same as I said, except that I forgot to look up the prerequisits for the main attacks. So add the following to the skills:

Amplify Damage: 1
Weaken: 1
Terror: 1
Teeth: 1
Bone Spear: 1
Clay Golem: 1
Summon Resist: 1 (NOT A PREREQUISITE, but it is very affective even at level 1)
