lol this is a necro not a druid, anyway max your skeleton/mastery. maybe about 10 in corpse explosion, you could max if you like, makes for a nice room clearing effect. other 1pt wonders are summon resist, amp dmg, (decrypt if you like) heck 1 in all curses. Also if you like the use of revives, 1 pt there, Clay golem and golem mastery also 1 pt. out of poison bone, bone armor is optional, but if you want to boost it, you get more frmo the synergy then you do the armor itself so dont put more then 1 pt there and use synergy to boost if you like. thats about all i can say.

as far as +skills, look primarily for summon tree type. the rest wont matter nearly as much. I dont know the godly equip but its not good to list godly anyway in sp mode as its often next to impossible to aquire. Also its a good idea to run with a act 2 might merc, as it boosts your dmg a whole lot. if you can manage get that fanatism(spelling?) aura making runeword armor. i forget what its called exactly. you have virtually no immunity trouble with this kind of build, cause amp takes out your physical immunity and that is all you need to make your kill.

Gl and have fun

When has a druid ever had smite?

When has a druid ever had smite?

since when has a necro ever had smite and hurricane?

to answer your question about sp classic d2 play, gear would be similar to all casters, emphasis on +skills, FCR (faster cast rate), high resists, and damage reduction. Since classic play restricts alot of the gear that has these great mods, this following is a list of the best unique gear to have:

Head: Wormskull
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uhelms.shtml

Body: Silks of the Victor
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uarmor.shtml

Weapon: Ume's LAment
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uwands.shtml

Shield: The Ward
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/ushields.shtml

Gloves: Magefist
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/ugloves.shtml

Belt: Bladebuckle
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/ubelts.shtml

Boots: Tearhaunch
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uboots.shtml

Ammy: Rare +2 necro skills ammy with resists

Rings: 2 x The Stone of Jordan; or 1 SoJ and a rare ring with FCR & Resists

as far as skills go, the necro summoner is a caster. the skeletons job first and foremost is to provide corpses for you to explode, and in the event of bosses, will be the main killers secondly.

skills would look like this and will use all 110 skills:

20 Raise Skeleton
20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Skeleton Magi (since it is classic play, maxing it is a must)
20 Corpse Explosion (this is your main killer)
10 Golem Mastery
5 Clay Golem
1 Iron Golem
1 Summon Resist
1 Revive
1 Lower Resist (getting this will cover all other important curses)
1 Dim Vision
1 Bone Armor
1 Bone Wall

basically this is a fishymancer, use google and you find the actual guide.
