The leech is important and is going to add to that lifetap and your golem eatting enemy life.Īmulet: A rare necro amulet is best, but Mara's or even a Metalgrid is you want\need the resists.Īrmor: Enigma or Fort- the defense and life. Ring 2: Bul Katho's or a some sort of leecher. Ring 1: RavenFrost: +dex, Cannot Be Frozen. Otherwise, you can boost the Life Tap with Trang's.īelt: Verdungo's- Melee is going to want that DR. If you can find some IAS rare gloves, thats probably the best idea. Helm: Um'd Gulliame's- gives more CB and looks cool on a necro.īoots: Gores- again, for the added CB, OW, and deadly strike. Same thing goes as above- socket it with a poison Rainbow facet. Shield: Currently using a Rare "head" with +3 to PnB skills- truly, you're wanting to help boost the PnB skill tree, but if you want to use one with +summons for the golem or something like Humoc, that would work. I was lucky enough to have a poison Rainbow facet to socket it with.

Weapon: Fleshripper- gives no +skills, but gives CB and Openwounds, which will help boost any physical damage when poison immunes come along. Those are your two main curses, so far, that has worked very well. here's where the choice comes in- potentially, you could get enough in +skills to manage with 1pt to Blood Golem, and max Corpse explosion for some crowd control, or you could use it as a main "weapon" and max it.ġ pt to Bone Armor (could dump more in there if you want) Though, since the boost to dex should need to be there for the AR (yea, the block too, but not so much) I have put some points to dex. So far, the need has been pretty straight forward. I've started it on NL to see how it would work out and so far so good to make the move over to a ladder character.

Then the idea came around for a Necro- re-visiting the idea of a melee/dagger with a leech twist thanks to the "un" nerfing of my favorite Golem that I could never use: Blood Golem. My friends and I have probably spent more time trying to figure out builds since the patch (what would work, what wouldn't) then we have actually been trying to do any sort of ladder climbing. Let me start off by saying, I've been a long time reader, but with the advent of 1.13 I decided to finally register and participate.
