Necromancer/ Ancestral recall questions

[vinay]

Hi,

I completed nightmare with my paladin and concentrate barb and have
started playing a necromancer(single player only). He is just at
level 15 and in the black marsh right now. I just had a question
about +skills equipment. When i create a skelly with the 1+ to skel
wand and switch to another weapon, the skelly dies. Right now, i was
planning on investing a few pts in clay golem. I have a +2 golem
mastery wand (in addition to 1 pt i put in) giving me 3 in GM.

when i create a golem (with +3 GM) an switch to another weapon, will
the life and damage of the golem come down to +1 with golem mastery?
Is this the case with assasins shadow master and druids as well?


I have installed the ancestral recall mod and am planning a
poisonmancer. Could someone give me a stat point description. This
is becos i saw that the gidbinn+pskull recipe crated a dagger which
requires 90 dex. Is pumping 90 dex for a necro worth it for using the
dagger in 1.10.

Kudos to Teknokyo for putting together such a great mod. It
completely changes the feel of the game. I esp like the work he has
done with the monsters. Cant wait for the SE version.

PS: Couldnt help myself from peeking into the crypt for a sec.
Couldnt save boney_n from whatever it was that killed him. Happened
too fast to see :(

Thnks
Vinay

I'm pretty sure your golem will maintain the stats he had when he was
created. This means you can load up with Golem gear, hit a skill shrine and
make a more-powerful golem, then switch back to your normal playing gear and
the golem will remain strong.

With Iron Golem, he respawns every time you join a game. Some necros like
to switch to Golem-bonus gear right before they leave a game. That way, when
they join a new game he'll be stronger.

Does the golem strength still adjust for the number of players in a game?
I seem to recall that it was always best for a Golemancer to join an 8-player
cow game last so he'd spawn the strongest iron golem.
