base suggestion for bramble please

Hi all!

I am about to build Bramble for my necro and have both a Wyrmhide and a Boneweave as base options. I read though that Archon Plate would be best for Bramble.
WHat do you think?

Thanks for your opinions.

Bramble has a flat +def, so I would personally prefer a base that has lower str requirement and lower base def.

Archon is always a safe choice, but I'd say wyrm > Boneweave due to the str reqs

As you won't Teleport anymore without Enigma, for a necro, I would not go outside a light armor. So leaves 6 options for 4 sockets :

(base/#filter=Body%20Armor%2C%20Max%20so ... 3A%20Light)

Archon Plate, Dusk Shroud, Great Hauberk, Wyrmhide, Scarab Husk, Wire Fleece.

Then, I'll go with the highest def you can get with your budget but still within the strength you already possess - necros will prefer more vitality over more defense.

Finally, do remember that the Superior mod goes with much more expensive repair costs, so if you choose to go that route don't forget that.

PS. Don't necessarily stick to the armors you already possess - for something you'll drop a Sur and Ohm in, you can spend a pair of Ists to get a good base. ^^

str shouldn‘t be an issue, I am using Spirit as swap shield…

Also consider straight up Mage Plate, with a torch and anni you may be able to leave your strength almost at base level

Nate bro. Bramble is made in 4os bases. Mage plates can only go up to 3os.

I’ve rolled my Bramble in a Dusk Shroud. And my Necro looks like a hobo, plz go with AP

Shredded hobo though. Some folks dig that look.

Albeit certainly not me..archon or bust!

Odd. I thought you didn't use Elite bases.

Dusk Shroud for necro is a trap.
Still remember the post about a guy making Enigma Dusk Shroud for his necro

Had to dig it up: forums/i-farmed-2-fucking-week-for-this ... 20154.html

Dusk Shroud = biker hobo
Wire Fleece = flamboyant rockstar
Wyrmhide/ Scarab Husk = grayscale cultist
Archon Plate = chad cultist leader
Great Hauberk = sissy cultist leader

I like they grayscale, to be honest.
