new phone who dis posted:6 piece rathma's is annoying because skeletal mages die so quick. It needs an epic somewhere that just lets them stay like the barb one. It's worse than having to set up your traps for marauder's. Now that the "new character smell" is wearing off and people have a chance to try the set, these posts are popping up often as predicted. Now we sit back, keep them bumped, and see if the devs take action over the next 3 weeks. Once S11 starts, we're stuck with what we've got until probably late October or early November after Blizzcon.

Well, Blizzard is still a fairly good company. I bought RoS a week ago, so, barely missed out on the sale, contacted support asking if I could get $10 off the nexro pack. The GM tried, but said he couldn't do that, offered me $10 worth of HS packs or WoW gametime instead. Not quite what I wanted, but I do still log into HS from time to time, so, better than nothing. I think I will hold off on buying the Necro pack for awhile, it's cool and all, but I've still barely played the crusader..or like 3 other classes in D3

Cowcaster posted:this is neat. i slotted the land of the dead and devour with the life boosting rune and if you pop simulacra and land of the dead at the same time you can just mash devour like you're having a seizure and summon 2 super saiyan skeleton mages every single time your blue orb fills and end up with a wad of like 10 instagib flinging poo poo demons before land of the dead wears off That's my issue with the pet build. You have this crazy awesome burst dps mode, but you can only hit it once in a blue moon. Considering that other classes by now have sets which allow them to stay in their "special" forms indefinitely, it makes the necro feel kinda meh in comparison. I still gotta crunch the numbers if a full cdr build with Blood is Power would be worth it.

Starving for essence/corpses because mobs are spectral and not being able to progress is also stupid.

I just need to reforge a compass rose and get the inarius chest and the set will be done. Then I can finally start playing the game. Until the new season starts. I've wasted my life.

Are you guys complaining about the pet build running the weapon set and the ring that gives a second mage per cast? That's the first full setup I got, and once the ring especially is accounted for, the mages do crazy amounts of work, and I can drop a pair of full essence mages every few seconds. Yeah, it's pure single target, so it's not walking through packs with your bonerstorm shredding everything, but Rathma's puts out good damage. I feel like the problem with it is survivability, because the stacking damage reduction on minion attack is in no way as good as 60 seconds of 15 stack bone armor, and Inarius can and does also run the other mitigation methods like Potency, decrep DR belt, Traveler's Pledge, and APD.

Yup. When you spend more time summoning 10 mages constantly than you do cursing enemies, commanding your skeletons, commanding your golem, and attacking or looting with your character, there's something wrong. Also, Rathma's can run the decrepify belt and endless walk set for damage reduction. You'll probably have to use Unity and the mage ring on a finger and the other in the cube though as even high-end Inarius runs Unity. Because you have pets as "tanks", the majority of your damage reduction is basically damage avoidance; casting curse and command from afar and waiting for things to die as you summon mage summon mage summon mage summon mage summon mage to keep your bonus at max capacity so your skeletons can ki...woops they're gone, time to summon mage summon mage summon mage summon mage summon mage again.

I can't work out Trang-Oul's - is it supposed to be this slow? I have to play super safe, and you really only have single target damage that can just suddenly dry up on you. It's weird.

I haven't played it much outside of the set dungeon. I do think it's weird that the riskiest set has absolutely no damage reduction. I almost killed myself just spamming blood nova to kill things, which was interesting.

You have Parthian, Dayntee's and Unity, and you're cannibalising constantly to keep your health up, but it's still so fragile. It's not a super fun playstyle for me.

Yeah, that was my point about the mitigation stuff, Inarius had a way better base, and can add all of the same stuff on top. The point about it being a pet build and all that entails is a good one though. And yeah, I'm not thrilled with how the necromancer actually plays as a summoner (kind of a one step forward, two steps back deal, with autoskellies that can be commanded, but then mayfly mages).

Did anyone ever make a viable Sacrifice build for the Witch Doctor? Cos I like the explosions of CE, but I think I actually enjoy WD more.

No clue, but it's only on the necromancer's smart loot tables, and it'd be insanely overpowered if it wasn't. We're talking like an additional 5 grift level average boost to the leaderboards, if not more

Yea, even if you reroll on another class, it only ever rolls INT and IAS. Apparently it's not working with MH proc though since it wasn't a designed interaction. They'll fix this I'm sure at some point.

Krybbies is a good Necro ring for sure but don't forget that CoE is even more OP for Necroman than other classes thanks to its 33% uptime.

I like Necro but I feel there are just a few too many buttons to press and resources to manage compared to the other classes. I want to get a LoN build going with Corpse Explosion because I think that would go over much smoother with better damage reduction options.

So far the only really smooth build I've found is the Mirinae Bone Armor one. Which doesn't bode well as it will probably be nerfed before it hits live.
