[Sigma 1.0.2] XBow Necromancer by Jaxon

The Items I have used in the proc version for the fauzt and the vizjun video are the same. just check out the fauzt video.

advent of hatred is also a solid weapon, especially for bosses besides the JahXis. For farming there is nothing better than hwanins.

Royal Circlet is a very solid option, but not a must. Reapers is also qute good in the proc version of this build. Also Idol of Rygnar is a viable option.

about the mechanic behind widow maker: it shoots bolts in 4 directions. After that animation is done, the Bolts change their direction to a target once (i think it might be the closest target). if the target moves, the bolts can miss. If there is only one target and it is stationary, for example hitting your minions, all of the bolts will be directing this target.

I am currently testing how far I can get in HC with the xBow necro. Just hit level 110 and act 3 hell. Charms I have gotten so far http://prntscr.com/mgol6i. Also got Scroll of kings and Laser Focus Crystal now

Thank you!

I enjoy LoXis (void) more then any other runeword, since it takes away the mana issues. also its pretty strong in other aspects.

everything works, as long as it fits your needs! good to point that out! endgame with only mf jewels (no ber crafts) i have very little to no mana issues though. hmm maybe turn this into a guide.....

What do you think about lategame Dragonfire Oil. Personally, I dont go for fire penetration and think that the skillpoints could be used better somewhere else. Maybe Support totem, maybe Bend the shadow for MF, maybe Smax a minion?

How about

Buriza-Do Kyanon

it gives a real decent amount of fire damage which does add up to your total damage in a very nice way even if you dont play with -fire resistances. I usually only cast one minion for the hp/dmg buff. before porting i cast some more, but they dont really need to survive any longer. if you want to use bend the shadow, the gameflow will suffer a lot. just get enough mf from your gear/jewels.

i havent tried buriza yet, but its damage looks really decent. in terms of farm speed there is nothing better than hwanins (check my latetst fauzt/viz'jun proc video). for bosses this might be a good option as well. one would have to compare some of the xbows.

Any levelling tips with this build? Good TUs/RWs?
