My necs sheild has +3 psn nova and +1 decrep, thus a lvl 11nova and 9 decrep. I want for my nec to tank, so, i want to put 20 points in bone armor. As you know, psn nova cannot kill so, i want 10 points in skeliton mages and all the rest in skeliton mastery. Is that a good build?

To be honest it sounds like youve put about the amount of time into this build as you did typing it up [probly at the same time]

Well, a few quick tips.

Use lower resist over decrep ALWAYS if youre going to be using nova all the time.

Also why would you put points into bone armor as bone wall/prison gives 15 life each whereas armor only gives 10.

Also i THINK that psn nova CAN kill if you get hit again with it when youre on 1 hp. But if im mistaken then i think a 1 point fire golem [try and get it from a wand/head] will do better at finishing them off with its holy fire aura.

Spend any spare points on poison synergies.

i agree with ubermoose, you didnt consider this build very well.
psn nova isnt that great of skill for lld becuase so many lld's use deaths which totaly almost cancel psn dmg.

if you where to build this char
you would need 2 pnb circlet, +2 pnb amulet, +3 nova, + lower resit sheild "Rhyme", +psn nova + lower resit wand, vmagi, 2sojs, probly nightsmoke, cowkings, magefist

rhyme sheild would be better then your sheild just for the godly mods. plus it has cnbf so you dont need to use deaths belt.

also why would u tech golem? if im not mistaken a telekensis charge ring is lvl 16?

Psn nova kills if the person has 1 life. Therefore, with a bit of life rep, nova is basically cant kill so long as you have 2 life or more, which isnt a problem considering most llds have life rep, and like stated before, death set basically neutrlizes it, not to mention anyone can use a antidote pot...

Poison nova can be spammed though. So poison lenght duration items might not be that effective.

I think that the build can work, not so much as a tank than a full on psn nec tho [you REALLY need all the synergies you can get] and making use lower res will at least partially negate deaths. And skulmaster's right, psn length reduction wont be too much help vs a nova nec i think.

I think the key to this build is the shield. You should desperatly strive to get a +lower resist and + fire golem on the same 1. Clean with 2 sockets if you can. As this would save you ELEVEN skill points!

[ps. the telekinesis charges/lvl1 teeth/fire golem aura probly wont work vs spirit users because of the magic absorb, also viper and strings mdr too] [having said that if you cast, then recast fire golem the first explodes doing quite a bit of dmg]
