I can farm nm, and do some of hell (ive been able to do butcher and infernal machine by myself, no probs with butcher but infernal machine was a bit tricky cause the mobs 1 hit ko me). I use paraside for main skill and carnage for for single target/bosses cause parasite does jack shit to bosses. Gear i use rathma belt, helm and boots (still working on getting last 2 pieces), t4 jitans, kra runeword in a sacred raptor scythe, + skills rings and ammy with some other slightly useful stats, honorific gloves with all res and fhr. and yes my res are capped in hell. Now my problem is i am very squishy, even when farming nm i die quite often in some places, same for hell in spots but theres a lot of areas i cant even do and act bosses are out of the question. any suggestions? i have no idea what i need to do to improve and not be so bad.
I'm playing a dagger / shield necro with Carnage as my main skill; I one pointed into parasite and maxed out other stuff. What skills are you using?
My setup is:
Embalming - Max
Talon's Hold - Max
Elemental Flayers - 1 point (for the aura of blood)
Carnage - 7 points (no cool down on skill at 7 base points)
Famine - Max
Angel of Death - 1 point (to get out of trouble and jump between bridge areas)
Dragon Fire Oil - Max
Death Ward - Any leftover points
Graveyard - Any leftover points (haven't completed black road yet as i'm on lvl 116)
I play a balanced play style between damage and defense so i'm not that squishy.
I use carnage only as i find the life-leech is better using that skill and the damage is superior to parasite.
Possible Gear Options to Improve Squishyness:
MO with life-leech and deadly strike Talon's Reach (Bonesplitter)
Tier 4
Two-Hand Damage: (53-58) to (205-227)
Required Strength: 350
Required Level: 57
(Necromancer Only)
Mega Impact
30% Ctc lvl 50 Hunting Banshee on Kill
+(132 to 154)% Enhanced Damage
+(43 to 50) to Maximum Damage
Adds 180-240 cold damage
-(23 to 25)% to Enemy Cold Resistance
(9 to 10)% Chance of Crushing Blow
(18 to 20)% Chance to Avoid Damage (this plus death ward gives a bunch of avoid chance)
Obviously this weapon will change when you get SU or Sha'ad RW Necro Scythe.
MO rings and ammy with Resists (you can get rid of honorifics then)
Change Rathma belt, boots to a %strength shrine craft.
Witch Hunters Hood from Assassin Set.
Let me know if this makes a difference...always willing to help.
