Introduction

A crossbow necromancer relying on OHMAN oskill , Flametail shot(piercing knockback stun) + Pwnisher(heavy poison damage) + SoR(rain of rocks dealing weapon damage) procs. Note: The build was created in Z9 and after exposure of how this build abuses HH and OHMAN they were nerfed accordingly, however it is still playable Nerfed but still playable.

Pros
- lots of slow target (talon's hold , zod runes ,nas crafted jewels) (90% even after nerf)
- decent amounts of life (over 15k) and defense (250k)
- good crowd control (great procs)
- reanimates
- easy to play untwinked

Cons
- requires some skill switching
- may lag a bit in very crowded arreas

STATS
Strenght : enough for gear
Dexterity : 0 in early game (FS doesn't need attack rating) ; enough for 90-95% chance to hit with OHMAN
Vitality : the rest
Energy : 0 in early game -> enough to cast OHMAN in end game (9001 mana)

Skillplan
Early-mid game : Skillplan OH-MAN (Necromancer, 1.Z9)
End game : Skillplan OH-MAN (Necromancer, 1.Z9)
-try to get Shadows , VA and Fragmentation shot from charm in end game -> 6 more points to dump into Talon's hold (Z9) in Omega there are no more charms so 1 pt the summoning tree to get VA and shadows

How to play
- summons shadows and VA (or get it from fool's gold as reanimate)
- cast OHMAN to spread slow (3 sec timer in Omega)
- quick switch to Hwanin's hwacha to proc Flametail shot (piercing knock back stun) and Pawnisher (great poison damage)
- use fragmentation shot as main attack
- cast lionheart from SU wand if you need more defense
-switch back to OHMAN and recast when your procs start running after gas (less and less flametail procs)
-if usinging eternal RW use o skill disco inferno and no need to switch keep HH on perma stun that screen

More aggressive farming
-switch jewels to lum runes or 20% mf and 1% slow jewels(I have) and switch to hraltis craft (100% mf) and lilths temptation (200%mf) (20 lums, 6 armor, 4 helm, 2 belt, 4 boot, 4 gloves = 400%mf) 700% total mf In a recent patch laz removed the effective mf cap and it now scales linear
- summons shadows and VA (or get it from fool's gold as reanimate)
- cast lionheart from SU wand if you need more defense
-walk up to crowd holding OHMAN weapon
- wait until about swarmed and cast OHMAN
- quick switch to Hwanin's hwacha to proc Flametail shot will proc like crazy (because of swarm) and you will be protected by stunning the screen.
-walk through stunned mob carrying HH to keep procing and find another swarm
-quick switch OHMAN cast and back to HH
- clean up with fragmentation shot after you killed a bunch of swarms and go back and collect loot



Uberquests


Dungeon uberquests

Creature of flame
[img]http://www.abload.de/img/86568141eess2.gif[Img]
- 1-shot kill .

Infernal machine

- the same ,very easy . fragmentation shot is the key ; you may want to stack some more resistances

Death projector

- lure away some of the Mechanics so you won't get surrounded by them when you atack the projector . few fragmentation shots on the projector and you can have that nice charm

Azmodan

- jump into the middle of the map using blink or jitan's gate . fragmentation shots till he's dead

Rathma square

- kill the Crawlers on your way to Primus , your reanimates will keep busy the resurrected crawlers while you kill Primus and take his charm

Cathedral of vanity
/
- same strategy as for the Death projector . Lure a part of the Nuns the entrance room and blink over the wall in the big room ; wait for the first beam to complete a rotation then get behind the Crystall ball , cast liche form and spam fragmentation shots on it . when immunities go off , kill the nuns and Inarius with fragmentation shot , then summon Inarius's ghost , kill it and take the charm

Toraja

- summon your army , cast few sacrifices to get some reanimates and advance . kill the Celebrants and Morlus on your way and keep on summoning Edyrems to remove imunityes(if they die) . use fragmentation shot to kill Lilith and transmute your Medallion


Vizjun

- equip 1 disengagement ring , kill few drones at the entrance untill celerity will proc (or cast Demonic speed from SU cloak of flames ), then rush to MCS and purify it( MCS dead after only 1 purify ) . pick up CFS and save & exit
- an easy route (not very crowded) .

Summoning uberquests

The Butcher

- 1 or 2 fragmentation shots will be enough to kill him . he is not a real danger

The binding of Baal

- you may want to stack some more elemental resistances (they pierce trough 200 of your resistances) . fragmentation shots to the victory

Assault on mount Arreat

- fragmentation shots will make this quick . you slow them till they almost don't move so there's no danger

Akarat

- summon , Lure Akarat along with 4-5 followers and proceed spaming fragmentation shots from some distance ; they will be distracted by your summons and you won't be in danger . it will be over quick

Lord Aldric Jitan

A. dark summon in that hallway and enter the Halls of anguish , tp home and enter anya's red portal so you can lure them outside the hallway 1 by 1 and kill them safe
B. Get your army summoned in a corner ,use dark summoning and spam fragmentation shots . you must be quick because they cast singularity after death and guard towers

Legacy of blood

- summon your army ; cast few sacrifices to get reanimates; the oponents need to hit something (your summons/reanimates) to remove their immunityes . when immunityes go off , fragmentaion shots to the victory . the slow target and stun from flametail shots procs will make this last a bit longer because they will react very slow . you can do this among first ubers as it is very easy

Judgement day

- feed Dark Uldyssian with your shadows and he willl summon the avatars . Any necro build can do this very easy . Avatars die very fast from fragmentation shot


Brother Laz

- reroll the map untill one of the 2 shrines that spawn in there is a FIRE shrine
- kill all monsters in Swampy pit level 1 and level 2 and open portal at entrance for level 3
- kill the Death projector and lure the Mechanics in the oposite corner
- cast some Sacrifices to get few reanimates that will keep the Groupies a bit busy
- let your gear in base , dark summon near fire shrine and use the fire explosion to lower Laz's life to half . you will die after this but it's ok - your gear is in base
- equip only an Assur's bane and go back . advance step by step untill Laz will jump on top of you . Cast Purify and it will lower his life to less than 1/4 (wait few seconds for purify to do full damage and after that hit escape button). you will die again after this but it's ok . the gear is still in base
- equip all gear you left in base , and a new ASSUR'S bane . go back , purify Laz and Voila! Kill the groupies with Fragmentation shots
- the only difficult part was re-rolling a proper map

Uberlevels

K3KBA

- easy farmable at "/players 8" . Use OHMAN to spread damage , slow and pwnishers ; switch to spaming fragmentation shots with Hwanin's hwacha


IOTSS

- the place for farming for gold (socket some tir runes) . Lucion and Malic are easy to kill since you are fragmnentation shooting them from a great distance . use Ohman to auto detect invisible enemyes and hit them

Khalimgrad

- same as k3kba , just a potential farming spot .


Tran Athula

- THE farming spot untill you can farm Duncraig . cast OHMAN to spread slow and pwnishers; switch to hwanin's hwacha to spam fragmentation shots and proc flametail shots; kill the priestess and they may drop for you that godly sunstone


Fauztinville

- tons of slow target , reanimates and great procs make this an easy farmable spot


Bremmtown

- use liche form for the first pack and distract new packs with your summons . fragmentation shots to the victory . you may want to cast Lionheart from SU wand for some more defence . howling toads hit very hard when they "riverdance" over your head

Kingdom of Shadow

- you will need some gear changes to get this done with no problems : equip armour parts with high defence and damage reduction (Erawan RW ,truce RW , megalith RW , witchhunter's hood ) , smax poison resist (few perfect turquoise) . on switch , ON runeword in a sacred shield (MOAR DEFENCE) , with Su wand (lionheart) . now that you got this gear (defence) you need a source oh heavy FRW : SU cloak of flames(demonic speed) was my choice ; you can also pick Wyrm RW if you want (25 to WoW) and Disengagement rings
- you can't have both lionheart and Demonic speed on , so you will cast Demonic speed at the entrance ,put back Erawan RW (MOAR DEFENCE) , enter Ureh and rush to the bridge zig-zag-ing trough the citizens
- once you got to the bridge , portal home , enter portal , cast Lionheart (MOAR DEFENCE ; FRW is no longer needed) , summon all you got (shadows/VA/edyrems) , enter ureh portal and use jitan gate to jump as far as possible . summons will distract cityzens from hiting you and you can open new portal , go to town , re-summon all army and go back . repeat till you get to Juris Khan (portal home->summons->blink as far as possible->new portal)
- switch to the xbow to kill juris Khan with Fragmentation Shot and take the charm

Duncraig

- The ultimate farming spot - OHMAN to spread slow , switch to fragmentation shot and imba procs




Heroic levels- easy farmable but drops suck . don't waste time here

Heroic Bosses

Belial

- change the boots and belt with Fascinating crafts and MO the other gear parts in order to hit -199% enemy fire resist . change the helm to Witchhunter's hood and some perfect turquoise in order to hit 95% poison resist . the punishers will lower your life very fast even if you drink heal pots
- kill the heroic monsters at the entrance way (red part) . this way you will avoid accidental encounters with more than one Belial packs that will rape you
- summon your army and cast few sacrifices to get reanimates that will keep him and his minions busy . use Dark summoning and step back . he will be busy fighting with your summons/reanimates and you can spam Fragmentation shots from a safe distance . if your reanimates/summons die , exit to ancients way , summon new ones and go back . if the oponents will focus you instead of your meatshield , you are screwed so try to avoid that
- kill Belial with FS and take his charm

Bull prince rodeo

- kill the cows using OHMAN , Fragmentation shots and procs
- summon BPR at the wood fences so that he won't knockback you all over the cow level
- melt his face with fragmentation shots and take his gold . It can be farmed very quick with the FS multihit (3 or 4 shots)

Qov tsin

- gear check uber : stack 500% all resist and get 95% all resists increasing the max resists with 20% . to do this you will get Thai runes in your sockets , change the gear with 2 out of those 3 : Witchhunter's hood , SU spirit walker , SU nor tiraj's wisdom . i went for the first two + 2x perfect turquoise
- kill all monsters inside the stony tomb and Summon Qov Tsin (took around 30 dark summons till he was summoned)
- melt his face with Fragmentation shots and get his charm . took me 5 minutes to get the job done (and about 20 heal pots) . piece of cake if you got the proper gear

Astrogha

- OHMAN can’t help us here. Our massive AOE can’t be used….pain in the A$$
-Switch some gear around to get -199 fire res(fasinating belt/boot crafts)
- patiently use frag shot on Astrogha and hope you don’t accidentally kill a statue
-have jitans gate ready to teleport you out if frozen orb gets cast.


Special thanks to CHUCKNORIS for skill layout/item advice and help with guide layout.

It seems that there is a suffix for 40-45 OHMAN at iLevel 48, should i try to roll one of those as soon as i can get it?

It costs 9k mana to cast OHMAN, Proximity so unless you have that kind of mana pool at low levels don't bother

Ah, i didn't know that. In fact, i have no idea what the skill actually does...

whole screen of flying arrows......

It costs "Over 9000"...

necro is one of the +6 per lvl mana char

What does OHMAN do?

OHMAN = One Hundred Million Arrows Now!

this made me laugh
sounds good btw
