PvM BeastMancer?
I don't even know if one of these is a viable, yet alone possible class of Necromancer? Just got the idea while looking at the stats of the beast runeword. Just a rough layout, I'll probably work on it later.
Str : 138 to equip a Beast Zerk Axe
Dex : Enough to max block for your shield
Vit : Everything you can spare
Energy : base
Skill Points :
20 Bone Armor
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Explosion (synergy)
10 Poison Dagger (synergy)
1 CE
1 AD
1 LT
1 Attract
1 Decripfy
So that leaves quite a few points to use here and there once you've maxed out what you need along with their prereqs. Ideally, gear would look like :
Helm : Dual Um'd or 5/5Pfaceted 2soc/15DR/30res CoA
Armor : Chains of Honor Archon Plate or Bramble
Weapon : Beast Zerker
Shield : not sure, actually. havent gotten much thought here
Gloves : Draculs Grasp
Boots : High ED Gore Riders or
Ammy : Mara's (any res will do, i think) or a high Metalgrid
Rings : A nice Ravenfrost and maybe a nice crafter ring with IAS?
That'd be for the rich man, of course. I don't know. This could be a fun build. Let me know what you think. It's a really rough idea of something, so don't be too harsh. It's also my first time trying anything like this.
