Macabre Ornaments

Necromancer Set

  • Macabre Crown of the Resurrected Warrior (Head)
  • Macabre Chest Plate Armor of the Conqueror (Torso)
  • Macabre Necklace of the Damned Souls (Neck)

(2) Set:

  • Your Thorns are reduced to 1.
  • While Land of the Dead is active, Bone Ringer gains all its stacks and deals its maximum damage immediately. While you have no six pieces set bonus equipped, and are equipped with set bonuses from six different sets, Commanded Skeletons hits apply all three curses and reduce by 2 seconds the cooldown of Land of the Dead.

(3) Set:

  • While you have no six pieces set bonus equipped, and have no non-set legendary item equipped, every set item you are equipped with increases your movement speed by 3.5%, reduces your damage taken by 3%, and multiplies the damage of your Commanded Skeletons by 40%.
  • While your Follower is alive and fully equipped with Ancient items, this bonus is doubled.

(Necromancer Only)

Microsets + Skeletons

2 pieces set bonus

  • Deactivates Thorns. Required to buff Command Skeletons.
  • Bone Ringer deals damage faster in Land of the Dead.
  • Incent players to equip different sets bonuses.

3 pieces set bonus

  • Progressive bonus. Up to x1.91 Speed, Dmg reduced by
    78% and x2082.30 Commanded Skeletons Dmg (1.8^13)
  • Incent players to equip Follower with Ancient items.

Bastions of Will CoE + Krysbin

Command Skeletons prefers average damage over peak.

  • CoE + Krysbin + Perma Frozen Lands: x4 two-thirds of the
    time and x3x4 a third of the time = x6.67 on average.
  • Bastions of Will: (Each ring x1.8) x2.25x1.8^2 = x7.29

Land of the Dead + Bloodsong Mail

Land of the Dead can be activated permanently. Devour, Invigoration
or Jesseth Arms can sustain your Command. Bloodsong Mail grants all
runes to Skeletons plus a x2.25 bonus while being in Land of the Dead.

No orange item allowed

The 3 pieces set bonus activates if no orange Legendary item is equipped.
Legendary bonuses are allowed. Kanai Cube, Krelm’s Buff Bulwark
set items and Macrabre set items are sources of legendary bonuses.

Bone Spikes Grim Scythe

Bastions of Will requires a resource-generating attack. Grim Scythe is
no longer needed as Commanded Skeletons can apply all three curses.
Gogok of Swiftness is no longer needed as the set grants enough CDR.
Zei’s Stone of Vengeance needs a distant attack like Bone Spikes.

Random curses runes

Random curse runes roll on items composing the set.
Aura of Frailty and Cursed Ground cannot be rolled.

  • Sage - Death’s Breath
    • +250 to All Primary attributes

Not every player plays Necro’s. Some outright loathe them…

And this is perfectlyfine :slight_smile:

It was not intended as being the seasonal bonus.
More like an addition to the Necro sets, to propose for the next season.

Command Skeletons actually performs really bad.

Lol just another batch of lame ideas that no one will ever pay attention to, aka business as usual.

What is lame in this proposal ?
