Maybe it could reduce your damage taken when on low health by ~40-50-60% and in addition to that it can make all your hits crits for ~3 -5 seconds. So only the crit bonus would last for a few seconds after the screen got red, but the damage reduction buff would only be active while the screed is red.
I like this that the set would now increase all damage and not just the damage of your minions and AotD., but the duration should be longer, maybe like 15 seconds.
Yes, something like this would make the item much more useful since you don’t have to stay low on health all the time.
But in order for this item to really shine with your version of the Blood Necro set, there needs to be a decent amount of damage reduction when going lower on life.
The Sunstone can help with that, but I think a 30-50% damage reduction when at ~30% health on Shi Mizu’s Haori would healp as well to mitigate the risks a bit.
7 classes x 5 builds (sans Invoker) dealing damage proportional to weapon is so old.
Make Trag’Oul a set that is based on dealing damage through life per hit, bleed, life per second, and health globe bonus. ie a mechanism that is similar to Thorns but instead of raking up thorns affixes, you’d be raking in life related items, including %HP bonus.
I would also really like to see a buff to the Inarius set
It’s tricky to buff a set like this since its a jack of all trades, and you don’t want it to end up outperforming a set with an ability said set is dedicated to
But i’d really like to see something along the lines of this
First the 2 piece:
Current - (2) Set: Bone Armour damage is increased by 1000%
New - (2) Set: Bone Armour damage is increased by 3000%
Then the 6 piece:
Current - (6) Set: Bone armour also activates a swirling tornado of bone, damaging nearby enemies for 1000% weapon damage and increasing the damage they take from the necromancer by 10,000%
New - (6) Set: Bone armour also activates a swirling tornado of bone, damaging nearby enemies for 5000% weapon damage and increasing the damage they take from the necromancer by 10,000% for 3 seconds
Not sure if I’m to late or not but Necro could really use some kind of generic/universal boost kinda off hands. As of right now, they all cater to fairly specific playstyles and if your build doesn’t benefit from those effects, you throw in lost time just because you might be able to use the move speed.
Just some effect ideas off the top of my head… Consuming a corpse could do something
Could be anything really, but this is the kinda thing that almost every necro would benefit from.
An offhand that makes Leech good
Every necro uses curses and Leech is currently the least useful curse.
An offhand that boosts a necro passive
idk how you guys feel about the passive boosting legendries but I kinda like them
Draw life and Grisly tribute are 2 that I don’t think I’ve ever used.

Not sure how it’s overpowered…I wasn’t requesting for skeletal mages to have a damage increase with this post. It was merely to make an adjustment to improve the set mechanic due to revives not functioning properly hampering proper AoTD cooldown.
Sorry it was one the latest Necromancer threads, where you guys told me to post.
Told you the Necromancer section was dead
I was worried you didn’t saw it.
You didn’t explained why this one in particular is supposely bad.
Can you criticize the proposal point by point ?
I’m listening and learning.
Teach me your point of view.
In addition it is a pet proposal on a pet class just like you love them.
Enjoy !
Tragouls is probably going to be the next set that’s going to be reworked/buffed. It’s been arguably the worst set in the game for many seasons now. Either they are going to make overpowered like in recent cases (Inna, Firebird) or land it somewhere in mid to high tier.
Ah yes, the toughness is also another issue with this set currently. It’s mechanics are not reliable.
Another thing is that necro already has a generic - buff everything - set. It is Inarius. Having another one like that doesn’t serve any purpose. Necro also lacks any real pet set currently. Rathma filled that role in the past. Out of all 5 sets necromancer has, at least one should be dedicated to minions and summons imo. Since they changed rathma to be an AoTD set perhaps now it is time for tragouls to be a pet set. I say pet set in a sense where the pets do the bulk of the damage and are not just there for utility I mean it fits the personality of necromancer, right? Even demon hunters and monks have pet sets nowdays.
PS. I know that technically Tragouls can be played with pets if you chose blood mages for example, but it is probably the worst set you can play right now.
Bones of Rathma = revolves around minions and AoTD skills to give it that death army theme.
Having a single skill as it’s only damage source with a huge cooldown is ridiculously horrid. They can better utilize Trag’Oul set to make other unused skills viable.
I wouldn’t mind the blood skills to be there but just for 2 or 4 piece set bonus. But that’s just my personal preference.
