I've been tossing this idea around for awhile. Is it possible to turn an E/N into a powerful solo nuker? It would use different tactics, so it's techincally not a nuker, but it should do massive damage.

Skills:
Meteor
Fireball
Pheonix
Rodgort's Invocation
Meteor Shower
Animate Bone Horror/Minions
Consume Corpse
Vereta's Sacrifice

Strategy:
The setup would be slightly difficult. You would have to kill some enemies quickly to get corpses for animating. Vereta's Sacrifice keeps them alive. Consume corpse is used when energy is at a low. After setting up, your army of horrors/minions would rush in to fight the enemy, distracting it. You then spam your fire spells and do as much damage as possible to the enemy, staying out of the fray. Once the battle is over, just animate more minions and consume corpses to recover.

Attrobutes:
Fire: 16
Invest the rest in death and energy evenly

Will this work?

20 fire magic? you do know the highest possible attribute is 16 with headgear+superior rune, right? (technically 17, but only for 10% of the time at best).

also, you'll be facing energy issues big time. yes, you can use consume corpse for energy management. but that's assuming there are corpses, and it also competes with your animate bone spells. not to mention, my concussion shot trigger finger is now very, very ichy.

sorry, thats what i meant, here i'll change that now. And, this would not be for farming in kryta obviously. Your bone minions should be doing a decent amount of damage so you shouldnt need to use a lot of spells.

Since you got on idea of a MM nuker, let me reflect on it. I had similar farming ideas, just never tried it (im an Me secondary, and I like Domination very, very much, thank you).

As posted, energy is the issue. I'd drop Phoneix out (no need to get in someone's face unless forced to with Consume corpse). Take Elemental or Fire Attunement. Since energy is the issue here, you can use fire wand with Conjure Flame for some wanding/energy regen waiting.

Since you rely on shower after MM aggro management I'd reccomend using Glyphs of Energy/Renewal

I'd also drop Rodgort for Incendiary Bonds, but hey, that's me.
So let's summarize:

Death Nuker
(...runes NOT included)
Fire 11
Energy storage 10
Death magic 10

1. Conjure Flame
2. ...hmmm Putrid Explosion perhaps ?
3. Glyph of Energy
4. Incendiary bonds
5. Meteor Shower
6. Consume Corpse
7.Animate Bone Horror/Minions
8.Vereta's Sacrifice

or...

Death Nuker
(...runes NOT included)
Fire 11
Energy storage 10
Death magic 10

1. Conjure Flame
2. Fire Attunement
3. Glyph of Energy
4. Incendiary bonds
5. Meteor Shower
6. Meteor
7.Animate Bone Horror/Minions
8.Vereta's Sacrifice

This is just a freindly suggestion, not anything optimal or tested. I'd REALLY like to know how it worked (and what areas you had in mind) because I had similar ideas...hope it helps.

you are going to work up a lot of exhaustion with that build

Nope, if he knows when to use what.
