Best TO Build??

Hi there,

I'm wondering; what's the best build for a full Trang Ouls set necro. I think it's a skelemancer, but I see quite a lot of "Vampires" using Poison Nova. Is full Poison better or are these some kind of hybrids??

Trangs gives insane bonuses to the Poison damage one does. It also has skills to help you defeat poison immunes. That is why a lot of people choose to use it for their Poisonmancers.

It can also be good for a Skelliemancer, because of the +skills.

I'm playing a pure Skelemancer based on TO, which offers an excellent price/performance ratio. Of course, as was already said, it also leads itself to a poisonmancer or a poison hybrid, due to the "3 piece trangs" that's included n the full set. Maybe I'll try an hybrid some day...

It has fewer +skills that a vipermagi/shako/maras/homunculus/arachnid setup (+5 vs. +8), but that setup is also very expensive, since all but the shield are in high demand. And TO offers some addtional features, which may or may not be of interest --- firewalls and high movement speed are probably the most obvious ones.

The full set has a massive cast rate penalty, which makes it pretty much unusable for bonemancers or bonehybrids. That is not a problem with poison spells, obviously.

Use Venom dagger with Trangs and you have 80+ extra skill points to sprinkle around wherever you want....and still have an effective poison attack.

Add Marrowalks with this setup and you could max your bone synergys for offensive spells, have decent Bone Armor, and the +skills would allow for summons to be a diversion at the least.

Fire, Poison, Magic, Physical,...and then add a merc to round out the types of attacks(act 2 HF, act3, or act1 Hoser) or increase the physical attack (act5 or act2).

You could even use a "Fool's" throwing weapon for PVM with lightning charms to further broaden your spectrum of attack.

I'm playin a Posioner / skelemancer Hybrid and I find that is the one that takes more profit of all advantages / drawbacks of the TO set ... the slow casting doesnt minds for neither PN firewall skelly summon and curses ... and u take profit of the lower resistance u have raised anyways to make more powerfull the firewall TO set gives ... with items i have it at lvl 20 , it makes like 2,5 k /sec , add 5x% more damage due to LR and u can stack 2 of em .. fantastic for posion inmunes and bosses , where poison nova is not good ... also skellies helps in that , are fantastic againts single targets (bosses) coz they concentrate all their attacks on him , PN good against mobs, FWall + skellies for bosses / single powerfull guys ... all situations covered
