Vita or Block ?????

I am gonna be using a bone necro with act 2 holy freeze merc on hardcore us-east ladder. I was wondering what way schould i go vita or max block. I will be using this necro for mf runs(andy,meph,baal, maybe pin) and to duel if someone hostiles me in the middle of game i hate when they do that. What are you thoughts and opinions.

If you can get a Homunculus or Trangs "thingy" by all means go max block. If you just use whatever head you find, it might prove near impossible as the block on most heads is abysmal.

Of course you can pw-protect your game and mf alone

For a necro Defenatly block because block is a live saver with 75 change of blocking with Homunculus you have maximum protection agains almost al atacks in the game

for exampe: with no block you get hit 3 times in a row thats 3 x hundreds of damage in hell and with block its like you have 3 x double live because you blocked most hundreds points of damage

Pick a good skull with high change to block and move your mouse button to the defence in the status screen pump dex up until it says change to block is 75% you need about 208 dex points for the best necro head en that is the Homunculus as mentioned but its hard to find good luck.

another question does the bone armor or block go first? Basically what i am trying to say is if someon hits you does it take from bone armor first or shield? Also does a shield and bone armor block arrows from zons?

Well, I'd think that block goes first.. In fact, I'm 99,9% sure about it.

 

[soulesschild]

blocking goes first, if you block it, it doesn't affect your bone armor

i am making a new summoner myself (after trying different builds) and i will only pump it to 50% block, rest goes into life.

Why? the real enemy of the summoner are casters and as you can only block physical damage, u need good res and MUCH life.

I think u need to invest much points into dexterity before reaching 75 % and therefor they are better used for life.

But then: this is my humble opinion, MadMantis will probably give better advice hehe

I'm with scampi on this one, block helps only against physical attacks, life helps against all attacks...

This is my preference too. Furthermore, you can always put some points into Bone Armour to give you extra defense against physical attacks. That plus max block is overkill imo.

Despite having high life, i'd like to think particularly in hell that Resistance is the most important factor. Regardless if high life or with block your not going to last very long with low resistance.

So it a matter of preference which way to go that suit your setup and style of play. Resistance is a must

Resistance is a must

Absolutely

In hell resist is the importants thing if you already managed to get high resistance what is left phsycal damage thats left so you wil need al te protection you can get for phsyical damage so i would say 25% block change

because 25% more change to block is better then 50 vitality points or so.
