Darkforce Spawn or Homunculus?

Just find a perfect Darkforce Spawn in Ancient Tunnel by my MF sorc.. Currently, my skellymancer uses a P. Diamond Homunculus. Just wonder which one would be better ?
Homunculus
Hierophant Trophy
+150-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+5 To Mana After Each Kill
40% Increased Chance of Blocking
30% Faster Block Rate
+2 To Necromancer Skill Levels
+20 To Energy
Regenerate Mana 33%
All Resistances +40
+2 To Curses Skills (Necromancer Only)

Darkforce Spawn
Bloodlord Skull
+140-180% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+1-3 To Summoning Skills (Necromancer Only) (varies)
+1-3 To Poison And Bone Skills (Necromancer Only) (varies)
+1-3 To Curses (Necromancer Only) (varies)
+30% Faster Cast Rate
Increase Maximum Mana 10%

My Darkforce Spawn is +3, +3, +3 (lucky me).. but, the strengh requirment is not low (105), although I have pump my strengh to 97 to wear skullder's Ire for MF. For the 30% FCR, it seemed better for bonemancer or poisonmancer since the skellymance won't need it.. Any suggestion ? Thanks!

2 things:

1) if Homun is better... why then do you want that one?

2) THIS IS NOT THE TRADE FORUMS, YAH FOO!

To the original question, yes, Homun is better.

becuase i dun have one yet, and i am an avid necro collector
i have every unique necro wand and am thinking about getting "every" one after the ladder resets, hehe yup im nl ^^
so on that note i also am collecting every necro head

Maybe if you desperately need the 30% fcr use the darkforce.

Homoncolus is the most versetile shield in the game IMO.

And that has what in common with this not being the trade forum?

HoS

hehe, ok.. I will think about the trading thingy (shishh... let's not talk this here ). I also think homunculus is better overall.. but,hey, my posionmancer or bonemancer could use the darkforce spawn since I only have one Homunculus.

Thanks for all input.

 

[darkmog84]

well can i get ur acct name? ill talk to u online

PS: I am at USEast SC , hehe, of course, ladder.. that head is ladder only item.

 

[darkmog84]

Homoncolus is the most versetile shield in the game IMO.

if you discount the fact that it can only be used by 1 out of 7 char classes

Personally, I would favour the Darkforce Spawn for a Skelemancer due to the higher +skills, and the Homunculus for a Bonemancer or Venomancer due to the resists and the vastly improved blocking. Skelemancers have much less need for defensive bonuses than do non-summoning necros.

It really depends on whether you've raised your Dex to give you blocking on your Skelemancer. If so, might as well stick with the Homunculus; no sense wasting all those stat points on a low-blocking shield. If not, I'd switch to Darkforce Spawn (and socket it with a perfect diamond, of course). Extra resists are nice, extra +1 all skills is nicer for a Skelemancer.

 

[Furry_friend]

Imo, for a non-blocking necro, both are put to shame by a +3 Boneflame, since that has the extra +1 skill and resists.
YMMV however

Hmmm. my Darkforce Spawn is +3,+3,+3. so that equal to +3 all necro.. not worse than boneflame. The difference will be one has 30% FCR and one has 20-30 resist all. For blocking, I think skellymancer won't need block, IMHO. You have way too many "SHIELDS" already.. unless you rush, otherwise, you're pretty safe without block..
