Just looking for some ideas of what I could make, i've got a summon barbarian that I don't mind too much.. I have a judgement pally with the two buffs that i have to keep up all the time.. He's ok, I'm looking for something that's not overly complicated, prefer not to have to spam buff myself to stay alive. Might be asking for too much but I guess we'll see lol

Carnage melee necro - easy, fun, very little skills to use. Good boss killer and farmer (except teganze since melee and some purify bosses might need other specs). Works well with TUs, with set - amazing, with SUs - probably godly.

Could you, or whoever see's this, tell me about Maelstrom assassin?, I looked at Unholy Paladin but from what I saw you have to keep 2 or 3 buffs up? Maybe I'm wrong though

I'll have to look into this. To be honest though playing a melee Necro just feels wrong hahaha, I'll definitely look though.

UHM:
There are two buffs you have to keep up, one is Rapture (which is like a 3m cooldown at higher levels) and the other is Sanguine (which is a 60s cooldown). Honestly not a lot to worry about.

You don't really need to keep up vindicate and there's no more tainted blood.

Maelstrom:
Maelstrom assassin is very basic. Just stack dexterity and use a
Void

It's a really easy character to play as you only need to buff with Tiefling form (Buff and forget) and throw knives. You might need to occasionally use shadow refugee to raise your physical resistance however in later stages of the game you might have enough from your gear to the point where you don't need to even use that. By stacking dex you also easily cap out your block chance in later stages of the game as well.

Also, could somebody jog my memory on how throwing weapons even work? if I remember correctly you can throw them until they're out then repair for all the "charges"? unless ofcourse they're ethereal then they need the replunishing buff or w/e?
