I think Jagged Bones is one of the more frustrating elites to pick up considering the massive amounts of monsters that surround the nasty monster that has this skill and the fact that he and the other nightmares use jagged bones pisses me off. Is there a way to get this skill, beside tomes (I don't have 10k to spend

), with heros and henchies and my necro?

Unfortunatly no

Best way to get him is with

1. Bring a necro hero with the fastest corpse exploitation skills you can give him
2. bring alot of nukers
3. bring Echo[e] and use it with Lightbringer's Gaze to interupt him and heavily damage him.

Target him only

The SECOND he goes down, cap it

Fortunatly Yes

It can be very easy to cap
get the quest "Dark Gateway" in Gate of Torment
You have to do "Drink of the Gods" quest before but that quest is a joke u can just go finish it without fighting any monsters what-so-ever
once u get the quest "Dark Gateway" go the Gate of the Nightfallen Lands and exit into the explorable area.
There will be one small group of torments - slaughter them -
the Emissary of Dhuum the necro boss with the Elite Skill - Jagged Bones will have spawned on the left-hand side of the statue
Do not rush in and start fighting him as it will spawn a host of torment creatures. Luckily he can be pulled.
So flag the H&H a bit back and pull him
He'll come to about 1.5 - 2 agro screens away after he breaks agro
once he is as far as you can get him unload using everything you got
Have, as Zodiak said, a lot of nukers. He will die before you know it

Thats how i got it for my necro if you mess up the spawn is so close that you can retry it without wasting too much time

Hope that helps

About this boss, as long as nobody goes into melee range with him, he does absolutely nothing. I killed him in a few seconds with a full caster team.
Jagged bones' capture is a piece of cake with this quest.
Look for this NPC in gate of torment : http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Neersi

This skill is only worth getting for Olias...it's too frustrating to target you're minions one by one..just let your hero do it.

ATTENTION! THERE IS A WAY!
I found the easiest way to get out of the way elites that I will only be using for heroes and not myself is to do Random Arena...get Balthazar Faction and buy the skill. You might not have access to the skill without an elite tome but your heroes do have access to them.

What MBP said

Moloch Vein · Aug 18, 2007, 04:37 AM // 04:37

Yeah, but real men cap their own skills ;p

Marverick · Aug 18, 2007, 02:37 PM // 14:37

Yea but this skill is terrible at 15s recharge...

MBP · Aug 18, 2007, 08:05 PM // 20:05

[skill]Jagged Bones[/skill] is an amazing skill...pair this with [skill]animate Shambling Horror[/skill] and [skill]Death Nova[/skill] and Olias becomes a minion bombing machine!

When a Shambling Horror dies with JB on him it'll summon 2 jaggeds

It's much better than [skill]animate flesh golem[/skill] for Olias IMO considering Olias constantly misuses golem

And getting around lengthy recharge is no problem...just put weapons on him that reduce recharge time

thanks guys!

MBP. you are mistaken. it USED to be a good skill. it has been nerfed into oblivion now. better off with OoU or AotL (golem is dumb).

Given how many different bosses for different quests have it, I doubt it is truly an issue to capture.

I got it with my Assassin (Elite Skill Title-hunting) in Nightfallen Jahai in the normal course of going through quests. Don't rightly remember the quest I used, but it was ridiculously easy.

As for use.... I gave it to Razah.
I have Olias set up as a Flesh Golem Minion Master... and Razah set up as a Minion Bomber. Granted, Razah's minions aren't as high-level as Olias's, nor quite as many.... but that is of subsidiary importance to the Spawning Power skills needed to truly make good use of a Minion Bomber build:
[skill]Boon of Creation[/skill][skill]Spirit's Gift[/skill][skill]Explosive Growth[/skill]
Between the two of them, Razah and Olias can maintain 18 minions surprisingly well (all of which are walking bombs thanks to both of them having Death Nova and spamming it liberally)... I'd imagine that I'd be better off giving Order of Undeath to Olias, but the Flesh Golem is good enough for me.
[And incidentally, since the third party-member is usually Sousuke with Greater Conflagration and Mark of Rodgort... there is a lot of health-degeneration spread around by the minions.]

MBP · Aug 24, 2007, 01:16 AM // 01:16

It still works fine for my Oias..he can still maintain his 8 minions and bomb the crap out of the enemy when they die.

Maybe you're just using it poorly.
