Description
I was so lucky to finally find a Death's Web enabling me to respec my Summon Necro to Poison Nova.
Now that I read some guides I am a little confused regarding gearing him.
From my perspective there are only 3 items that are fixed:
Chest: Enigma for obvious reasons
Gloves: Trang-Oul's Claws for the +25% poison damage
Weapon: Death's Web for its uncompared damage component
The Boot Slot offers some flexibility. I tend towards using War Traveler for some additional mf.
But alternatives like Marrowwalk or Rare 3-Resistance Boots are also possible here.
The rest of the gear mainly evolves around the intended FCR breakpoint.
There are more or less 3 realistic scenarios:
48 FCR Breakpoint:
This enables to use the triple Trang Oul Combo:
Trang-Oul's Claws
Trang-Oul's Wing
Trang-Oul's Girth
This offers an additional -25% poison resistance.
I have a nice 2 Necro/20 FCR Coronet.
Together with a 10 FCR ring and the Trang-Oul's Claws the 48 FCR Breakpoint is reached.
Second ring would then be SoJ, Amulet something like Maras or a 2 Necro Skill rare/crafted amulet.
Pros:
- Additional -25% Resistance.
But I am not sure how relevant this really is, since with Death's Web, 2-3 Poison Facets and Lower Resistance Curse poison resistance is most likely capped on most monsters anyway.
- Style. I always liked the Trang Set and the shield fits the necro way better than a Spirit Monarch (see next 75 and 125 FCR setup).
75FCR Breakpoint:
For the 75 FCR Setup I would most likely use:
35 FCR Spirit
20 FCR Arachnid Mesh
20 FCR Trang Gloves
This frees up the ring slot for 2 SoJs and provides a little bit more resistances than the Trang Shield.
For the Helm slot I would use Harlequin's Crest for some additional MF/Life/Mana/DR.
125 FCR Breakpoint:
For the 125 FCR Setup I would most likely use:
35 FCR Spirit
20 FCR Arachnid Mesh
20 FCR Trang Gloves
20 FCR Coronet
20 FCR Amulet
10 FCR Ring
Second Ring would be SoJ. This setup is obiously highly centered around FCR and more or less all slots are dedicated to it.
Problem here is that my best Necro Craft Amulet has 8 FCR on it. On here i cannot even find a suitable amulet, and this slot will most likely be a little pricy.
I somehow tend to go with the 75 FCR setup since it is a good compromise between fast Teleport / cursing / corpse exploding and + Skills via Arachnid, 2 Sojs and some additional MF from Shako. Apart from that I will not have to buy a 20 FCR Necro amulet.
The 125 FCR breakpoint seems to be a little bit overkill for me. Sure for the Teleport speed this is really nice. But compared to e.g. a lightning sorc imho FCR is not as important for the poison necro gameplay itself.
However, I am not sure how much the loss of the -25% poison resistance from the 3-Trang combo weighs into the equation.
I am really not sure what the ideal setup would be and I would be glad to hear your opinions / experience.
Kind regards
