help on my spirit mastery

[MILJAAR]

first of all, i'm new here so euhm.... hi :p

i've just started out titan quest and chose spirit as mastery, simply cause it is the closest around to 'necromancer' type of playing. But i have trouble assigning my skill points and mastery points.

atm i'm lvl 6, i have 5 unused skill points available. I allready put some in strength, cause i don't like fighting with a wand :p
instead i have a ballmace with life-leaching
(70strength, 62 intel, 63 dex, 370 health, 320 energy)

i have 9 mastery points left in my spirit mastery and i don't know where to place em
i allready have
- spirit mastery 4
- life drain 2 (helped me alot)


now how should i place my skill points to satisfy my needs (bashing with arms and necromancer-abilities)
Liche King summoning, death aura and wraith shell are things i look forward for but i dunno if they are suitable for my playing style

i hope someone can help me out here

P.S. i saw the skill that tripples your wand damage. Is this skill very effective? if so i'ld might change to wandfighting

If you plan to be running into the middle of battles, you probably want to use Deathchill Aura and Spirit Ward to damage and debuff mosters at the close range you will be at.

Remember that the Life Leeching is great against living monsters but has no effect against the Undead.

If you plan to stay back and use a staff, the Ternion Attack (Triple Attack) can be really nice for hurting monsters or blasting away groups.

Also if you plan to use a lot of spells, staffs are good since they help provide a bonus to Energy regeneration.

I think you can't go wrong by having a pet unless you need all the points for a certain build, so Liche King will probably be a nice touch.

well i followed yur advice and it worked

ihave a lvl 6 aura now, greatly augmenting my damage
the lvl1 lich king is a great help

i'm now researching for necrosis

i'm thinking of going either full spirit or spirit/warfare (=>dual wielding)

My warfare/spirit is currently in legendary, without too many problems (except for the lack of resistances). If you go with warfare, make sure to max out onslaught since its one of the better warfare skills. War Horn is also pretty good due to its ability to stun enemies.
