Hello.
What would be better for bonemancer - double Um or Um+ Ber in Tiara? How to consider 8% dmg red vs. 15% resistance? I'm using eni so physical dmg is not a problem I think, and of course Bone Armor absorb it. Or maybe sth else would be better?

Can be used to make Runewords:
Resistances, you can get from many items (including charms), and you probably can max them without depending on your Helm 
On the other hand there are no much sources of Physical Resistance (caster in generally will only have 8% from Enigma). But remember that many Physical attacks may be blocked (you could invest in it if Physical attacks are a big problem for you)
But , at first, you should analyse what monsters are killing or almost killing you in your most common farms
Maybe none... and so you may use the sockets for other things (like MF)
And if you have problem with an specific element, maybe using a rune that increase the max Resistance (like Lo) instead of Um may help too
When you are well equipped character, in general two monsters shows up was the greatest Players Killers: Bone Fetish (their explosion does Physical Damage, but may be Blocked) and Willowisp (deals lightning damage).
(But if you don't farm areas with them, or you don't feel them as threats... no need to get more resistance against them
)

Bonemancer is my favorite character and a huge part of that is how much control of the battlefield you have with it. With Bone Wall, Bone Prison, and Decrepify you almost never die, especially if you're wearing an Enigma, with your likely high FCR.
Given that, I find that survivability stats aren't that big a deal. But of the two big threats correctly identified by @fredkid, I'd say Willowisps are much more dangerous because you can't block their attacks with either an actual shield, Bone Armor, or your Bone constructions (they Pierce everything), and they're much harder to avoid than physical stuff (I pretty much never get touched by melee, in particular, unless I'm in auto-pilot).
So, with all that said, I think your priority should be to max out lightning resistance, then increase MF (or some other non-survivability stat), and I'd put physical resistance dead last. IMO, MF/other is the better option, since it's easy to max out lightning resistance from other sources and physical resistance will be wasted 90% of the time.

True. Would consider 2x Lo for this reason, as @fredkid mentioned. Combined with Wisp Projector with decent % absorb, you'll get close to immune to lightning damage. Must add that i havn't tried this setup myself as my last bonemancer was some years ago.human_being wrote: 1 month ago I'd say Willowisps are much more dangerous because you can't block their attacks

Quick question before : have you managed to set :
- your FCR to 125 ?
- your res to 75 in hell Anya included ?
If you answered yes to both, then you can think of what to socket freely...
What stats does your Tiara already have ? FCR for ex, or is is a White or blue one ? In latter case, wouldn't it be better to wear a good old Harlequin's Crest for the life boost ?

res unfortunately not 75, because of eni
Tiara is 3/20 2 soc, blue one.
Got some problem with mana but not possible to gain significantly more with jewels.
So I put Um in first soc and I'm thinking second one would be the best choice.

What Merc do you use?
Some Bonemancer use Merc 2 with Insight (with that you shouldn't have mana problems...)

Insight lvl 17, but it's not enough. I'm full of skillers, lowest row - small charms with res, so only way to boost mana is ring. But 10 fcr ring, mana and res is very very expensive. second is SOJ, Amu, 3/10, White and Darkforce. I can put Perfect Skull in Tiara or change from Trang to Magefists but still - base mana about 600 is not a great amount.

you will probably lose resistances... but may give Silkweave a try It worked well for my Javazon (I kept using it until recently, when I switched to a Phoenix shield variant and didn't need the maek anymore

I am a Bonemancer myself and Insight on merc works like a charm, my 600 mana are enough as long as merc survives.
Do you have Enigma ?
3/20 2os is excellent.
What do you use as Weapon ? HotO is great to cover res. Amulet ?
Anni and Torch of course, if possible with high res ?

For me - White is a must have on Bonemancer. HotO is fantastic weapon for casters, but U know... 8 Bone Spear is sth.
well, Spirit gives a lot of mana (especially since you can wear 2xsoj with it) so maybe Spirit?
