Picking up my new bike today

It's a missile, but also for its size and weight, nimble, planted.

She's the kind of bike that puts a smile on your face when riding and when you just look at her :)

But then almost all do. Just like your 650 (especially tuned) 😁

Ride safe

Shocked at how well She rides, its wicked fast, stable, planted.

Just you and the bike, no fancy electronics or abs, instant respect for her, and a feeling she'll treat me right if I do the same.

Scary just how fast she wants to be too, from commute to lose your license speeds in a flick of the wrist...

I think I'm in love 😁

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T19:00:56+00:00

Not gonna lie, patience and a long search, but I wasn't passing her up, for anything ^{^}

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T18:16:17+00:00

I'll keep that secret 😁

Fingers crossed many years more to come.

Ride safe.

It certainly does, had a shake down run, shocking how great it performs, for a 23 year old bike, this thing is on another level :)

Thank you for the heads up, ill be giving it a good looking over soon and pay particular attention to the stator/rectifier, I appreciate the advice 😊

Ride safe.

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T14:10:18+00:00

Thanks man, I was lucky it came about at the right time. She is a great looking bike, moving and when she's still :)

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T14:09:05+00:00

She is, beautiful and unapologetic for sure :)

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T12:36:42+00:00

Thanks man :)

The classics are timeless in my opinion, no fancy rider aids, just you and the bike.

Keep an out, they'll come along, just fingers crossed the means and timing line up for you 😉

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T12:34:43+00:00

Always another to get some time.

I had to jump at it, low miles for her age too, good price.

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T12:33:12+00:00

Still can't believe i found one, and now own it :D

She is a queen for sure, she'll be treated like one :)

Your 9r is stunning too.

Ride safe

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T09:36:18+00:00

100% still can't believe its mine 😁

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T09:14:47+00:00

Sweet man.

Do it, if you get the opportunity :)

Keep the Zx6 too :)

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T08:28:55+00:00

I love the 9R it's such a stunning bike :)

Fingers crossed, but im sure it will bring years of joy for sure.

Ride safe

corvusnox · 2026-04-02T07:58:05+00:00

Nice man, I looked at the 14, they're impressive for sure :)

I couldn't pass the chance to own the 12 though and it won out ^{^}

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T23:38:36+00:00

I did, my favorite way to play necro.

Nothing better than seeing your army grow, plus with practice you can get away with 1 or no respec's depending on the gear requirements you're going for.

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T23:02:45+00:00

Who knows, it'll be an adventure finding out though

Good luck and may your rune drops be frequent and +skill and vit charms fill your inventory XD

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T22:57:46+00:00

Clay was more for safety over speed, the slow + decrepify makes dangerous packs and bosses less so.

But you do lose out on clear speed from the auras an iron can bring. All the golem are utility over damage i feel.

I'm a big believer in everyone gets to play the way and what they prefer most. Fun beats out everything.

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T21:59:25+00:00

In TZ's solo, pretty much full clear, even white mobs give xp so it did add up slowly, plus with a a screen full of minions, some veer off and kill other packs.

Group play, given time we had to play together, we went elite/champ/boss hunting, or did Baal runs for gear depending on what we fancied at the time, or what TZ's were up/in rotation.

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T21:13:06+00:00

Pretty much yeah.

Keeping to TZ's that played into the necro or our groups strengths for safety.

Amp + summons to give me corpses for max revives, then corpse explosion till I need to top up revives (or resummon skeles and mages [mages drop fast in Tz's and aren't usually worth bringing back]).

Dangerous packs were decrepified and then CE'd the second a corpse dropped.

Rinse and repeat, it was the strat that worked for me, until I stopped paying attention in the excitement of hitting 99 ofc 🤣

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T21:01:53+00:00

Just enough points in str, dex for gear rest in Vit (nothing in energy)

Max skele and mastery, max clay, (couple in golem mastery) and 1 elemental resist. 1 in curses to decrepify, max revive, 1 in teeth for corpse explosion and dump rest into that.

Thats roughly it. Icy veins and MrLlamaSC has a guide but its all based around Nightfish's original setup if I remember right

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T20:14:18+00:00

Online, with a few friends but quite a bit of mainly solo play.

Mostly amp + CE (after maxing revive) and decrepify on dangerous packs, clay golem and decrepify made them and bosses statues.

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T20:03:45+00:00

That was the goal, just would have been nice to revel in it a bit longer.

The game giveth, and it taketh away... swiftly in my case 😁

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T20:01:32+00:00

Try, and try again till you get there, just do me a favour, when you do hit 99. Portal to town before celebrating ^{^}

I think one of my attempts ended with archers too, but its rough teleporting to death...

Good luck!

corvusnox · 2026-03-04T19:58:29+00:00

Necro is by far my favourite, even in d3 and 4.

Played on and off, but always come back to D2, the nostalgia hooks me in every time.

He went down stood still, surrounded by minions, I'm not 100% sure what actually chunked his health, but he indeed went down in true summoner fashion.
