Hello. I currently have a lvl 83 summon necro that I’ve been gearing. I’ve got relatively strong skill gear at this point, but my main concern is my weapon/ shield. I currently have
Heart of the Oak and Homunculus. I know beast is what people recommend for the weapon, but I run with a fanaticism pally, so it seems like a bit of waste aside from the grizzly. I never get into melee, as I prefer to stand back and throw curses, then let the pally, mercs and minions just run over everything.
Can anyone recommend a better setup before I get to the Ubers?
Hey, you may want to check this budget guide I did. Hungry (another player) also made an ultra budget vid as well.
Feel free to use GG gear if you have strong skill gear as you mentioned.
Hope this helps!
Beast is only there for the fanaticism aura, if you are running with a Zealot, you have no use for beast. The aura coming from your friend is far better than beast, so don’t waste your weapon.
I’m going to venture a guess that your gear is totally fine on this. If you have Hoto and Homu, you probably are sporting a good +11 to skills. That will do fine. Your merc is where you need to concentrate for ‘gear’.
What you need is tactics and build for the Ubers, check out the video’s for that. Selecting the correct revives is the main issue for getting the Ubers done, second to that is your merc gear and keeping him alive.
Your friend on the other hand is where you should look to get the gear set up. If he’s a Zealot he can pump out a ton of Crushing blow himself if you just keep him alive with Life Tap.
