Question about suicide branch

Suicide Branch just dropped and I'm holding it for a summoning necro alt.
+1 skill is a nice add, but can easily be outreplaced. +50% FCR is a nice bonus, but not that important for summoning. Extra mana and res are nice but my question is, does the attacker takes damage of 25 make any difference.

Does it even work with adds? If so, does it actually make a difference?

Attacker takes damage is pretty much a wasted stat here.

Not only because 25 is not worth mentioning at higher difficulties but also because

Suicide Branch is typically only used by very niche caster builds (that need the 10% extra FC but don't need the res from wizspike), none of which should ever get hit much to begin with.

i would recommend a

Carin Shard instead. it is pretty cheap to pick up and will suit your purposes nicely

Tank you both!
Cheers!

NP. I built kind of a hybrid necro that beat hell solo pretty easily, so feel free to reach out with any questions But honestly, it is a pretty easy build to play.

I like

Arm of King Leoric the best for summon necro. I just found one a week ago.

Hey, if you want I have doubles of most the unique necro wands. I'll totally hook you up for a P

Diamond for all of them ( I'll do it free just need a P

Diamond to up something lol) if you want.

Ume's Lament

Blackhand Key

Maelstrom gravespine arm of leoric

Torch of Iro

Suicide Branch and gravespine . But yeah if you wanna test some wands I got you. Rather give em away to someone who will use them than keep em in storage. Also have

Undead Crown (3skele mastery) and a pair of marrows (+1skele mastery)

I am using

Boneshade because i maxed

Bone Spear and

Teeth to increase my damage and by extension my farm rate. So weapon choice really depends on how pure of a summoner you are going. My skellies got me through Normal and nightmare easily, but slowed significantly in Hell so i thought the magic damage was worth the pickup.

Hey, if you happen to have + 2 +3 +3 +5 +5 on the skills ( perfect ) I'll trade you for it. I got a +2 +2 +3 +5 +4 just -1 from

Spear and

Teeth + something if you're down got all kinds of necro stuff.

nah, sorry. 1 3 3 4 5
