That was truly entertaining thank you so much! I do love the psn necro. It really is a fun character. I had one in the old d2 and used infinity with the merc. That was a lot of fun and way quicker. But only self found and single player this is very very tough! I really enjoyed the video!
Thank you! I love playing poison necro's a lot as well. It's a shame they are so rough for ssf cause endgame they are super sweet. Thank you for the kind words! Glad you liked the video
This was super entertaining! Poison nova is one of the coolest skills imo, but there sure are a lot of poison resistant enemies in hell 💀 To be honest, after watching this I knocked any poison centric build ideas down a notch on my to-do list 😂
You really need to go all in when it comes to poison necro which is especially hard in SSF/offline since that includes having to find Death's Web in order to really see it pump out damage. Once it's going though, it's a very satisfying build.
I liked this video a lot, mate! I'm glad to see you finally plowing through the game after a rough start! Please keep making these videos 🙂 Some ideas though: - For bosses and though single enemies in general, your strategy of slowing them to a crawl is excellent. But a good addition could be to apply Crushing Blow with poison dagger strikes. Put a "Strength" Runeword into a dagger, get some blood gloves, and you can have 30-35% already. That would make boss fights a lot faster. - Act 2 mercenaries are really nice for their auras and Insight polearms, but in the early game, barbarian mercs are pretty good at tanking and distracting enemies. The two handed ones have more health than desert mercs, and also have Iron Skin and use taunt to lure damage. With two swords, you can use powerful combos with Coldsteel Eye (unique Cutlass), "Malice", "Strength" and so on. Keep it up, man! 😎👌
Thank you! I will do just that :D Yeah the bossfights could have definitely been improved. But I just didn't get that kind of gear this run unfortunately. I could have grinded for it but I didn't think I needed to. I don't mind being patient for my victories. A barb merc would have worked as well. I just thought it was funny to edit in a bunch of times the merc died. He actually did very well all around :)
@1:38 "Dies of old age" Yeah, i had a similar impression when i tried the poison necro for normal enemies in hell. Not what i would consider fun gameplay. Tbh, summoning necro is also not the most fun and engaging gameplay, but at least blood golem with iron maiden proved to be a very chill way of farming bosses. Not the fastest, but still decent for passing time if im having a hangover or feel low on energy. Skeletons are cooler IMO, but it got very tedious and annoying to get corpses before every farm run 😮💨 Overall, i think frenzy Barbarian is my favorite build. That run/walk is insane, and with the fast attack speed and life leech one doesnt need a lot of potions (ive not tried it in Hell yet though).
I have some bad news about when your barbarian hits hell and the potions you will need. But you have access to the find potion skill and it is criminally underrated by the community.

! You started with poison Necro since early on! I started with summoning and curses. Only at about 75 I did a respec and filled all points in the three poison skills, remainder in curses and summons
I wish poison dagger automatically hit like smite and did all of it's poison damage instantly. But dreams aside ty for your vids, you deserve more views!
Even cutting the length of time for the poison to deal damage and increasing the range of poison explosion would probably help this build a ton. Thank you! Glad you like them
Easiest probably the Griswold ng+ hammerdin. Ubers had some risk but it wasn't mechanically hard to play or anything. Hardest was the Maul bear probably cause I was just so done with that char before it actually got done

Cool video! Even an elderly member of a black metal band, poking monsters with a butter knife, was able to complete the game, the Amazon did not... it's very funny)
3:25 Due to this build a bit gimp it woldn't hurt to put 1 or more points into bone prison to lock group of mobs at the point with corpses for a poison explosion AND to prevent necro facing whole pack at once due to lack of AoE and survivability. Actually bone prison is a good spell even for a standard poison nova necro to bind packs while poisoning em.

Yeah that is a big part of it. I also know my maps and builds very well so I always know what I need to move on to the next part. I've also gotten used to beating the game with very budget gear
I tried a melee only Necro once. Started out with poison dagger, but the skill is hopeless. Switched to other weapons - Blizzard should let poison dagger work on all bladed weapon - and found Passion was barely cutting it. Biggest problem was AR rather than damage. Had to resort to corpse explosion to make it work at all and eventually switched to poison nova. Necro definitely doesn't have any melee options worth trying IMO. Suggestion - would a bow gemmed with emeralds be valid for this run? Does Amp damage increase poison damage? Might help with those early boss fights. Otherwise my only other suggestion has been mentioned below - to use Strength for the CB.
All weapons would be fun as well. Imagine using poison dagger with a dweb. It might actually become good at that point. Necro has very little build variety even outside of melee. I wish the class had more going on but an entire tree to dedicated support really stifles the creativity and possibilities in builds. Yes but I don't see why you would want a bow. and no it doesn't. For extra poison damage you'd want lower resist. Strength would be good
@@thenuclearrabbit You seem to be able to go face to face with Meph and Diablo in HC Normal and not get killed! For some builds that don't have a ranged attack I use a bow gemmed with emeralds so I can take down the boss at range. Takes a while but is safer. I could be paranoid but I'm sure Amp damage cast on me is doing more than it normally would. Generally, I hate amp damage on me. It often leads to death :(
I always start a Necro as a Bone Necro, then respec later. Anyone who has any experience in playing Diablo would know to not start a Necro with Poison build.
Bosses really need that IM + clay golem treatment on poison build for playthrough. And points in CE really help too with adding that physical/fire dmg, as well as some revives
Not really I mean I did things like nova stuff and even though it's slow I definitely did damage. But I will admit the merc probably was the better of the 2 of us
For an internet person I am on the older side of things. They used to play alice cooper a ton in my favourite bar 20 years ago :) I have also been chronically online since I was 12 years old haha.
Congrats on the success! 👍 But why not use lower resist curse? It makes the monsters take about 3 times more poison damage and really speeds up the poisonmancer build! And bone prison? It can hold the monsters captive while you use poison nova. Anyway, great vid.🙂
Poison Necro is so much fun. Kills great in low duels. I crushed with my old OJsimpson character. Just make sure your gloves don't fit your character, so get some barb gloves or something. 🤣 But they are one of the most expensive to make for hell mode to be viable.

This was my absolute fav build back in the day. I never found a deaths web... still to this day 😂. Ive traded for many but my ssf grail is missing this item and storm lash.
@thenuclearrabbit yeap never got to it on ssf. On ladder is where I really fell in love with it... deaths web is an absolute game changer also with rabies aswell.
You could do ng+ playtrough with full trang set and a dweb. The cast rate is annoyingly slow. But you can give him max block and zoom like a madman without dying, especially with an hfreeze merc
As long as CS is excluded xD I know its a fire skill and very strong but that's its problem. Its literally so strong every necro just turns in to CE necro
andariel on normal for some reasoon has a 80 poison resist, while nm and hell only have 50, so without lower resist, you hardly deal any poison damage to her. :(
The thing that I love the most in his runs is the references on his characters names. Not the absolute beast that he is clearing the game SSF on HC, not his expertise in the game, not his humor, nothing. EddieBrock. Cuz he's Venom

Wonderful video as usual nice job
Thank you!
no point to hitting with dagger all time, cuz melee dmg are low, just wait till green comes off boss
1:10 😂😂😂
But you do have other damage types! You just go for corpse explosion. Lower resist -> poison nova -> amplify damage -> corpse explosion.
Yeah, but the goal is to be pure poison. So no corpse explosion :) Corpse explosion is better than the entire build on it's own
4:22 enchant helped a lot.
This was my absolute fav build back in the day. I never found a deaths web... still to this day 😂. Ive traded for many but my ssf grail is missing this item and storm lash.
I'd give you one if I could I have like 5 of them. The fully decked out version is one of my fav builds as well
@thenuclearrabbit yeap never got to it on ssf. On ladder is where I really fell in love with it... deaths web is an absolute game changer also with rabies aswell.
Ooh I hadn't even thought of that. I like it!
That Hell Duriel fight.. damn .. 😓
Yeah that was one of the worst Duriel fights I've ever done😅
Hell yeah! There it is. Thanks
Np :)
mine just died. level 77. he had a maras and some trang ouls.
RIP. That's some hard losses. GL on your next run
@@thenuclearrabbit yea im remaking him right now haha
Good luck!
I beat the game as a poison necro (not hardcore).
Grats!
You could do ng+ playtrough with full trang set and a dweb. The cast rate is annoyingly slow. But you can give him max block and zoom like a madman without dying, especially with an hfreeze merc
I want to do a bunch of NG+ runs with the Trang set. I think it'd be good for pure poison dagger melee as well
Big time psn damage. Not the best option but nothing to be overlooked at all. I tested him with an infinity hfreeze merc. So firewall did its job too
I want to try a full fire necro as well at some point. Fire golem + trang set seems fun
As long as CS is excluded xD
I know its a fire skill and very strong but that's its problem. Its literally so strong every necro just turns in to CE necro
It works with lower resist. best to have a rotten fissure sunder and infinity mercenary
Yeah that is going to be a rough one on a SSF run up to Baal :) But for endgame you are absolutely right.
3:36 isn't normal the hardest? Let's see...
Ok, but you basically dropped playing with the dagger at the first opportunity :o
I did pick it back up again and used it for bossfights.
Also, can you blame me?
andariel on normal for some reasoon has a 80 poison resist, while nm and hell only have 50, so without lower resist, you hardly deal any poison damage to her. :(
It's so mean :(
The best place for novamancer is pits. It clears it very fast, and with revive it's literally impossible to die, the revived monsters tank all the dmg
Yeah the novamancer is one of my favorite pitrunners
"Nothing happens ever but you will win" 😂
Nova necro ❤ i love this dude
One of the best
❤️
The thing that I love the most in his runs is the references on his characters names. Not the absolute beast that he is clearing the game SSF on HC, not his expertise in the game, not his humor, nothing.
EddieBrock. Cuz he's Venom
No. We are Venom.
@@thenuclearrabbit I am truly, truly sorry!
You can kill Andariel easy with throwing Javelins, no matter the build. They are great for champions and bosses of Act 1.
3 socketed bows also!
смотрел и слезы на глазах, очень люблю некра с ядом, но вот игра за него это отдельный вид мазахизма )
He is amazing with some good gear though! Thank you for enjoying the video
Wow i always wanted to make a poison necro build for levelling but this vid jist showed me it aint no walk in the park
It is very satisfying when you get it though. And farming for better gear than I had will help a lot
Snes music for the epic finale!
Snes music is the best music
Let's go!
!!!
3:34 if you actually beat this game with Poison Dagger, i will be absolutely stunned. It may be the worst damage focused skill in all of D2.
I'll try it at some point but I'm not looking forward to it.
I'll try it at some point but I'm not looking forward to it.
@@thenuclearrabbit its one i have never done. I started one and gave up almost immediately after fighting Duriel. I think next go i will try a NG+ with it and see if i can make it work. But i am not in a hurry to try it again lol
Oh it will do fine in NG+. You just work your way up to a fleshripper (the fanged knife) and then it's smooth sailing.
Your golem was tanky, use iron maiden
You can't buy a wand with 2 sockets and + to nova at Drognans
Oh wow. I did not know that. Thank you :)
10:49 I have told you - normal is the hardest 😂
None of this was truely easy though.
Clay Golem +Iron Maiden and 1 point in each bosses will kill themselves smacking the golem and you just keep resummoning it.
Yes but that isn't poison
@@thenuclearrabbit True. but you were using decrep and stone golem already...
Yeah but in a more supportive to the poison way. If I start using actual good strats I can't show off the poison very well
Ok.. i gotta say the video ia amazing but i get triggered watching poison necros not specing into RAISE SKELETON
Why would I ever want raise skeleton on a poison necro?
@@thenuclearrabbit tanking and a lot of dmg from skeles also you maxed poison don't spec to golem ever just 1 point and go skelies
