, 33% block. Am I doing anything wrong?

you surely need to access 125+ charms and upgrade your shield for higher block (75% for endgame)

Yeah that's sure but in the OP he said he reached 500k def with TUs only and he never got to do 125 ubers, which gave me a big question about my Necro
P/s: I looked again and found out that I put only 1pt in Deathlord instead of max like the guide. Is this skill now worth maximum investment?

as he OP stated on guide:
"Deathlord – Max. This makes us attack faster, adds block, gives flat STR and DEX, and most importantly gives us a buttload of flat defense. It is possible to achieve over 100k flat added defense! Insane."

Yeah I know, how about Rathma's chosen? deadly strike seems really good so I think it's worth more than 1 point

You do know these guides are not written in stone? I myself smaxed Rathma with great results, dmg is nearly pure physical so DS makes sense.

Yeah, think I'll experiment with different paths then

So DaggerNecro has been my most successful self-found character so far. But is it just me or a sacred Spirit Edge is so rare? Been farming a lot of places for a week, lots of sacred labrys/naginata/other class weapons... dropped but no spirit edge

RNG ain't your friend. Spirit Edges are equally as rare as naginatas, labrys, warp blades, maiden pikes, etc

Sometimes RNG just smiles upon me. 2 days ago I picked up my 1st sacred Spirit Edge. Today the second one was even an ETH one, can't imagine how lucky I am :mrgreen:

Gonna save it for lv140 (if I ever level my Necro up to that stage) :mrgreen:

this build still viable?

Should be, have not been affected what I can remember.
