Necromancer question

Hi , I have a question about bone necro , If would use Pride ( Concentration aura) on merc I'll get an increase damage on bone skills ( bone spear for ex ) ??

 

No. Only way to increase dmg of bone skills is to obtain more +skills.

 

As @Quinneczech mentioned you can only increase the damage by +skills. Bone skills deal magic damage, and Pride increases only physical damage. It will however increase the damage of your summons.

 

No, conv aura only for "physical dmg support"
Like your summons.

For bone nec is the best choice:
-infynity (mercanery)
-insight (iron golem)

And using CE(corpse explosion)

 

forgive me saying so, I thought concentration did more than just adding physical damage, and if it only enhances physical then why does it increase hammer dmg ( which is magic) Ive always used pride to boost my skele mages. I'm not disagreeing, Just wondering why it works for hammers ( magic dmg) and not bone spear ( again magic dmg)

 

from internets:

Back in the original D2, Concentration boosting Blessed Hammer's damage was a bug. Blizzard fixed it in v1.04, but then Blessed Hammer became too weak to be a useful skill. Hammer-din players were upset. Therefore, in v1.05, Blizzard gave the (originally unintended) damage boost back to Blessed Hammer. By doing that, Concentration boosting Blessed Hammer became "by-design".

 

Taken from this wiki:

AFAIK it only increases hammer damage, not all magic skills. I maybe wrong, but this is how I've understood it.

 

ah thank you for clearing that up, ive often wondered exactly how that worked
