    This 'power' needs to be added to the current Rathma's set to make it less clunky. But instead of 50 yards, make it so it casts at the command skeletons commanded target's location only.

  • @No_Way_NO_WAY
    @No_Way_NO_WAY Před rokem +1

    2 things i want to mention/add
    1) the passive skill in your loadout that makes you immune to damage for 4 seconds after using army of the dead, (currently) triggers with the crucible skill also, which makes it useless since it has a long cooldown. (you instantly trigger it with the first enemy on screen and not by button press of the army :( )
    2) especially for player that are in the lower paragorn levels, the craftable defender set makes it easy to run Torment >10 directly after reaching level 70. It doubles stat bonuses from equiped items, including gems. (but seems it doesnt double empowered stats)
    im currently stuck at around GR87, seen some inspiration in your video, hope it will carry me a bit further.

    Excellent video. I am a necro player and fan, but now I can't decide which build to try to hit 150 first with. Blood Nova or Rathma. I was leaning towards Blood Nova, it is so much fun and very tanky for the first push to 150. Could Rathma be the better choice even though way more squishy and will require a bit more patience? Thanks again Wudijo 😎👍

  • @Lycantis

    And Squirt's Necklace is negated. Why even use it? I never see a video where the buff is even applied, and all the grifters are always getting hit constantly. I hate that necklace with a passion but it is always in every build for some forsaken reason. I do not see a benefit to even using it. Would love to hear of an alternative since I literally never have the damage up buff from it.

    Hey Wudi. My friend and I intend to play duos or trios this season up to the point of clearing a 150 and then we will stop for the season.
    Our setup will probably be a zBarb and a DPS.
    Is this Rathma build the best DPS for that purpose, or would something like the impale DH be better?
    When I say better what I mean is the ease of getting to the say 1500 or 2k paragon we need, and then completing a 150 at that sort of level.
    Any insights appreciated. Ty.

      @PuyolsHonor Před 2 lety

      HoTA barb strong contender for duos, so it will be 2 barbs on the 2player leaderboards. For 3 Players I'd say traghoul necro, rathma necro and zbarb, for 4 players you would include a zdh

  • @Jhalborg
    @Jhalborg Před 2 lety

    Thanks for the insane s27 coverage, you're killing it!
    Started with necro this season as all the vids said it was strong and I haven't played it in a long while. However, on hardcore, it's a bit too on the edge for my tastes 😂
    What necro build would you recommend building towards for some more chill hardcore solo gameplay?

    • @Lunatix246
      @Lunatix246 Před rokem +1

      I'd be pretty worried about playing a necro in hardcore, personally. All the builds are pretty much "Kill it quickly before it kills you" It's just a squishy class in general. The tankiest build I've played is the poison scythe, but it requires really good positioning, because if your simulacrums die, you're fucked. Area effects like Frozen can one shot them at higher GR's. It's also another pretty slow build.

      I suppose I should clarify, I won't have the time, nor put in the effort to get to the point of doing 150s.. Mainly just looking for something strong, enjoyable, and easy to play to do 120-130s range.

    • @brindlebriar
      @brindlebriar Před 2 lety +2

      @@BrianGiuffre Strong and easy to play = the new Trang'Oul blood nova with Guardian belt/bracers. You just dive in and face-tank everything to death; and it might be the second strongest solo push build for s27 after WoL monk, which is difficult to play.
      Rathma seemed, to me, about 5-6 GR behind Trang, and is harder to play. But it's not as bad as people think(I was rank 1 Rathma in S25 until I quit, and tested it again on s27 ptr.) You just _HAVE_ to use Esoteric Alteration Gem lvled to 100. That's an _essential_ part of the build. Since your pets tank the physical dmg, almost all dmg you take is elemental, so that gem makes all the difference.
      Playstyle: Rat is stronger now than it was in s26, but also not as easy to play, because you have to maintain siphon stacks and find/target the yellows with siphon while AotD is in motion(but they move around and get blocked by other mobs), while also trying to stand in occy circles and time your AotD for physical CoE cycles. AND you can't forget to keep your Command Skelletons active or you do 0 dmg, and won't realize why. If you move too far from their target, you have to re-cast it. They also un-command themselves when fighting Illusionists affix packs(when their target splits), so you have to re-command before each AotD cast.
      (As you can see, Trang is much easier and simpler.)
      I didn't test WD Gargs, but it looked from the leaderboard, like it _might_ be as strong as Rat - not many testing it, so hard to tell. It won't have a spot in 4-man groups though, if you care about that.

    @cbrac2965 Před 2 lety

    I sharing something. When will we get an awesome summoning new set. It could be something like: 2set bonus: each active minion increase the attack speed% and make minion stay longer. 4set bonus: when ur hit, the closest minion attack this enemy plus % domage reduction and 6setbonus: each active minion increase %domage of the minion. I think how awesome it could be with like 28 minion ( 7 squeleton, 1 golem, 10 mage, 10 reanimate I think) What do you think ? (sorry english is not my language), btw, thanks, I really like your video.
