I think Trang-Ouls Corroded Fang is the best necromancer weapon in the game, isn’t it? Does it need to be better…or do the others? Wizards have a similiar situation with Deathwish; it’s simply the best weapon we have, and so everyone has to use it, and everyone has to build channeling.

Yes, the problem with Necro is, because of the current Trag’Oul’s Corroded Fang booster on curses, the only viable Grim Scythe rune is Cursed Scythe.

The four other runes are useless just because of this difference in power.

If you allow Trag’Oul’s Corroded Fang to either

  • apply all Grim Scythe runes (means cursed scythe, means 200%)
  • buff Grim Scythe itself (means whatever rune its 200%)

… then other runes become usable
