Beast en Arm of King Leoric TACTICS

hello people

PVM Necro purpose

1. Is it true what i have readed on some necro FAQ's That skelletons keep there damage when you first summon them with the Arm of King Leoric ( for skelleton en mastery bonus) then switch back to Beast rune word for even more damage!! :cheesy:
Is this true???


2. Another question on the beast runeword. Is it also true what i have readed, if you want a higher level then 9 fanatism you can use items that give plus skill to all to raise it above level 9??? :scratch:


3. Does beast effect the attack speed of my summons and is the 92 % damage increase almost double damage?? of the summons :scratch:


4.And finally i want to know your opinnion wich one you think is better a level skelleton master en raise skelleton or the Beast runeword?? :thumbsup:

This link may answer some of your questions.

Welcome to the board btw. I will leave the normal pleasantries to MM when he is online.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No - AS only affects the weapon your necro wields and not your minions
4. erm not sure what your asking but i would MAX RS and SM to have full affect and then use beast runeword to power them up.

Welcome Newcomer to The Darkness. Grab a brew :drink: and feel free to raise some corpses.

Kyo was right on questions 1 and 2, but he was wrong on question 3. The faster attack speed granted by the aura does affect your Skellies. They will attack faster.

The 92% will not double the damage. You need to add it to the &ED granted by the RS skill. This means that they will get increased damage, but it won't double their damage.

Another thing to keep in mind is that they get a healthy boost in AR from the aura.

Bah - Made a mistake was thinking that his question was referring to the 40% IAS (as he does link to ED atrib) on the weapon itself rather than the AS from the fanat aura. :cheesy:

My Army SPECS
-----------------------------------------
My army level with Leodric

RS:42 SM:44 Damage: 710-714 number of skelletons: 16
------------------------------------------
My army level with beast no damage bonus counted from beast

RS:37 SM:39 Damage: 541-545 number of skelletons: 14

So here coms the question Whats is better if i dont use the Beast en Leordiric combo because i want other neco wand on switch for my poison nova damage. Wich stick is damage wise for my army?

How is it possible to raise it pass 9? Its a standard 9 for the runeword...if you want more than 9...then get a zealot that has it maxxed.

Equip the AoKL and summon your army. Then remove the AoKL from the equip slot, place it in your inventory, and equip the Beast. You can keep a wand for your poison damage on switch.

You are right HoS, you can't raise it past level 9. You could raise it past level 9 if Beast gave you +9 to Fanaticism, but it gives level 9 Fanaticism. This means that it is locked at level 9.

Kyo was right if Beast gave you +9 to Fanaticism. I also thought it gave +9 to Fanaticism.

Which, of course, could be considered a good thing --- if it gave +9 to fanatism, you would actually have to use it like a Paladin, i.e. it would have to be the right click skill. As it is now, both buttons remain available.
