Question on fishy mancer

[MadCat2]

I've been wanting to build one but i was wondering if they could actually take on hell meph/andy.

[Omnicide]

Yes, they can, if made right.

[saracen85]

how can it be made wrong?

people completed games naked with a fishy.

key factor is if you have poor gear, be patient with a fishy. eventually, everything will die =P

[Omnicide]

Well if you don't max the skeles and mastery...and happen to focus points in curse. d:

Worst possible scenario types of things.

[MadCat2]

Thank-you.

it wouldn't be called a fishy =P

i made a challange for my self one time and went through the whole game with 2 chars without gear first was a fishymancer and the other was a suckish ES sorc

[DarkPrinceLoki]

fishys take on everything, bosses included, they just require a little more planning and strategy (taking on the bosses I mean). Even a novice summoner can do well with a fishymancer.

[Omnicide]

Given they stick to what skills should be maxed. I don't think a new player would think about corpse explosion being as useful as it is.

a misconception that should last about 1/2 a second after they first try corpse explo (assuming at least average intelligence for said nub)

[DarkPrinceLoki]

if you want to be useful without maxing it, 10 points will suffice, with plus skills picking it up. thats what i did with my dethwalker and his CE is sitting at lvl 24

[theOG22093]

1-5 is plenty enough for CE, max skellies/mastery/revive. I'm not a fishy expert, but that worked on my SP fishymancer.

[Shallie]

I always maxed CE on my Fishymancers, the bigger the radius the better. I have to say though that you should have a homu (gives you 5 mana per kill) or some other gear with +to mana after each kill. Otherwise you'll have a mana problem as CE will become really expensive when maxed (it cost me 45-50 mana per cast with my +skill gear).

I never got why they called it a FISHYmancer. What's fishy stand for. Some online word for a cookie cutter?

[Omnicide]

If I remember it's named after the person who made it...someone with fish in his name. D: Some people sill say you use your skeletons to "fish" the monsters and then use CE but...that's been proved against by the previous reason.

[saracen85]

NIGHTFISH.

do people make this build without reading the guide or what? or notice who wrote them?

there are also other builds that he made aptly named fishyzon and fishysin =P

most of his builds caters to the cheap as well as hardcore-viable.


btw, the fish corpses thing is quite a ridiculous analogy. wonder who came up with it... =P

;)

[Supersonicman]

a fish in sports is someone who is untalented or looks to be an easy defeat.

maybe this is to say that a fishymancer is either a character that a noob can easily play cause its effective, no cost too make, and/or easy to understand, or without gear it looks like an easy catch

or it could just be the name of the person who thought of it as omnicide said

[Skullcaptain]

It's the name. Not the build type..
