2h Melee Necro

2H Melee Necro

Introduction:
This variant focuses more on dealing damage rather than on defenses the bigger badder(better?) version, hope you like leaping as you rely on Parasite with Reaper active for AoE damage while farming and on Carnage to deal Single-Target damage, Deathward and Deathlord provide lots of defense alongside a bit of Avoid and Movement Speed, sadly no more cool morphs.

Pros
One of the fastest leveling builds
Decent Defense and Avoid
High Leech

Cons
Relies on gear to get Physical Resistance compared to other melee builds.
Melee
Low HP

Active Skills

Bend the Shadows - Innate skill, a teleport with short range and cooldown but cant go through walls.

Angel of Death - Mobility

Deathlord - Buff.

Carnage - Main Damage Skill.

Parasite - Main AoE Damage Skill.

Rathma's Chosen - Familiar, Aura Buff.

Mid Game 105-125

Progression/Ubers

► Show Spoiler

105 Ubers:

Horror Under Tristam: Quite easy, if you stand on the corner above entrance you dont get hit by altars.

Infernal Machine: Make Sure you have maxed Cold resist or blink over the nova/open town portal and go inside when the machine starts flashing, use parasite to clear the minions and leech.

Invasion: Can be a bit tricky due to necro's low hp, avoid getting hit 3 times by the spirals and you'll be fine.

Death Projector: Recommended to grab the Engineer on the left and top left as minions help with sustain.

Island of the Sunless Sea: Slowly clear, rushing in will get you killed, you can use angel of death to jump over gaps.

(Level up to 110 in Island of the Sunless Sea)

110 Ubers:

Horazum's Sanctum: Make sure your fire res is maxed, don't bother with the gates.

The Binding of Baal: Rotate around the arena picking mages off, beware stun-lock, maxing your resistances is very important here.

Lord Alric Jitan: The real challenge is getting to him, try to jump him so he doesn't cast Fortress and don't try to tank 10 guard towers and you'll be ok.

Akarat: Hardest boss in the game (JK), clear his followers around him to drop his immunity and then destroy him before it gets back up.

Inquisitor of the Triune:Make sure your poison res is maxed, when he goes immune/gets a glowing orb above his head move about half a screen away, try jumping over the big circles as they are the biggest damage source in this fight, otherwise again very easy fight.

Assault on Mount Arreat: Very easy, enjoy the super high fpa from diablo morph.

(Level up to 115 in Cows (lots of shrines and faster) or Torajan Jungles (lots of signets drops)).

115 Ubers:

Black Road: Keep him inside the fire circle, make sure your fire res is maxed.

Rathma Square: Clear out minions with parasite they can deal a lot of damage if you drag too many, beware life degen debuff from primus, if you get hit by it open a portal and go to town.

Bull Prince Rodeo: Again, make sure fire res is maxed, even with that though the explosive cows do a lot of fire damage, avoid getting hit by then (note: recommended to farm a decent str+dex roll).

Legacy of Blood: Fire res, you can jump on him don't be afraid, try to not stand in place for too long as golems spawn a fire bomb beneath you when you kill then (note: trophy is kinda meh).

High Heavens: Poison res this time for the punishers, don't linger on the meteors after killing a avatar that's the only real danger here.

The Veiled Prophet: Stay near the entrance, when the veil piercer stops shooting lightning teleport on top of it, make sure to clear nuns after killing it before you start killing the boss.

Kurast 3000 B.A: Nothing Special here, super easy zone as long as your resists are maxed.

Tran Athulua: Make sure you mo'd your rings and amulets with PDR, beware golden amazons they cast arrow swarm on death, the build is very tanky tanks to defense and avoid but try not to get hit by these if possible (note: farm this trophy asap).

Azmodan: Fire res, try to fight him in bursts, the longer you stay near him the more his damage starts ramping from all the timed stuff he casts near you (note: decent trophy to farm).

Riftwalker 2: Hardest fight by far in this bracket, higher lightning resist helps, avoid the circles in the ground at all costs, if you get hit by then the upgrade fails, use the avalanches (blue bois) to leech, stay inside the blue circle if possible to avoid high damage dot, bonus tip, use bend the shadows to help avoid desync.

(Level up to 120 in K3K (lots of set drops) or Tran Athulua (more uniques, arcane shards and exp, also great trophy for this build)).

120 Ubers:

Quov Tsin:Recommended to use TU Bonesplitter for the avoid, engage in melee asap as he grants you a buff in melee, be careful of mythal lowering your res beneath max although even if it does you wont take much damage as long as you stay in melee, don't get hit by bonespear novas (sparkly white ball is your warning).

Kingdom of Shadow:Recommended to use TU Bonesplitter for the avoid, use bend the shadows and angel of death to escape desync and keep pots up, check uber videos for the route or check wiki for the map (note: trophy is only 10% mov spd but its useful).

Twin Seas:Due to High defense and avoid its pretty easy, namelock easy (note: 10% chance to drop Tran Athulua Fragments, so use your scrolls!).

Judgement Day: Can be a bit tricky, start with Imperius, if necessary drag minions away from him, watch out for beacon (nuke) as it does decent damage, the cubing timer only starts after you kill him so take your time, Malthael you just have to be careful of death strikes (white smoke? in the ground) as it deals HIGH damage (note: trophy is pretty good 5% all attributes, farm if you can be bothered).

Banisher of Light: Can be quite hard to learn so don't be afraid to leave it for last or later, but the strat is: bait his pounce so he summons skeletons that you can leech from, don't be too greedy as the green flamestrike does very high damage and if there's no skeletons to leech from his regular attack also hurts, best to play it safe in this fight as he heals if you die to him (note: trophy is decent, but its best to farm later when you have more damage to do it fast).

Teganze: Pretty easy, if you feel like you're taking too much damage, increase your maximum res with gems or other gear, alternatively you can equip TU bonesplitter for the avoid, defense does nothing here (avoid is great though) except for Zagraal (note: highly recommended to farm for wind runner RW).

Set Dungeon: Very dangerous place, there's no lockdown though, the nemesis does mostly poison damage and spawns veil kings which do very high damage, best to temporally retreat and kill it when he does, or drag other mobs and use then as leech bags, TU Bonesplitter highly recommended. Note: Nemesis isn't guaranteed to spawn.

Toraja: Real pain depending how lucky you get, even with TU Bonesplitter's avoid the constant damage is still there, recommended to come back at a higher level, try to jump lilith with summons so she doesn't spawn too many mobs and worst case retreat and drag & clear some mobs near her.

Duncraig: Use bend the shadows and angel of death to avoid barrels, if you have trouble seeing then look for the fire trails or just make sure to not linger or backtrack (note: make sure to kill assur every run to work towards the trophy).

Legion:Not recommended to do it at 120, save it up and come back later so you can do it with all totems killed, if you want to try it anyways, avoid killing the totems that give him damage and other skills also make sure your resists are capped so you don't get one shot by his nova, check uber videos for a example of what happens.

Uber Butcher: Unlikely you have a Urt this soon but if you do, be not afraid, make sure your game is new and perm (takes 5 minutes) as it often crashes on first try, same strategy as regular butcher.

Uber Death Projector: Unlikely you have a Thal this soon but if you do its recommended to equip TU Bonesplitter as the 3rd engineer actual deals a decent bit of dmg and debuffs your res, use bend the shadows to maneuver around the machine, alternatively you can do this fight later with better gear it'll be much easier.

(At this point you should farm for

first then go back and farm better rolls on charms and at least Tran Athulua trophy)
(Level up to 125 in Duncraig (su drops, best exp) or Teganze (for wind runner & umbaru chest))

The Easy 125 Ubers:

Viz-Jun:Since the build has decent defense and avoid on top of it this area is pretty easy, just make sure your FHR isn't bad 4/3 is what you want.

Kabraxis Gems (Access to fauzt):Make sure resists are maxed, use parasite to clear the elementals, you can literally stand in the middle except for the magic and light one.

Ghosts of old Bremmtown:Quite easy, use angel of death and bend the shadows to avoid getting desynced.

Kabraxis Gems (Access to fauzt):Make sure resists are maxed, use parasite to clear the elementals, you can literally stand in the middle except for the magic and light one, make sure to farm for a decent life roll since its so easy.

Astrogha:Destroy the totem immediately to your left after entering, after that its just holding right click until astrogha is dead, after it splits though you might need to avoid deathstrikes (white fog in the ground, not the permanent one).

Xazax:A bit of kitting is needed here, tanking 1 or 2 adds is possible depending on gear but more than that and you need to drag then away, the main threat is xazax spamming his cold attack which deals really high damage.

Triune:Pretty easy zone, watch out for red circles in the ground as the spirals do a lot of damage, make sure to farm for strength cycles, grab 2 charms also, 1 to put small/medium cycles and the other to put large only later, the boss fight itself is pretty easy, stay far away and keep the conversion up.

Eye of Destruction:Clear any small adds he spawns asap, make sure to separate him from act bosses before you attempt to kill then.

Lord of Lies:Really inconsistent fight, make sure to clear the area he's in from regular mobs, then check each clone to see which one turns into a rat when it takes damage, hold carnage on him, if your hp starts to go down quickly use bend the shadows to get away, TU Bonesplitter can help but will make the fight significantly longer.

The Hard 125 Ubers:

Yshari Sanctum:Not really "hard" but takes a long time to get, the labyrinth is pretty easy but necro isn't the best class for doing valthek, regardless the charm is pretty strong, you can do the fight two ways, baiting his teleport and then immediantly casting holy bolt or circling around him with one of his adds alive and hugging him ever time you try to holy bolt, this fight takes some practice to learn but once you do its pretty easy, if you're going to farm this charm its recommended to respec and go full vitality and grab the hp mastery, deathlord upgrades, embalming, melee devotion and deathward.

Spirit World:Recommended to have a half-decent craft or this fight will be a pain, make sure to go around the arena and clear any nests you find before engaging, after you do, try to drag the boss away from orbs if there's too many of then around and be careful with namelocking the boss as the circle of tornadoes does a lot of damage if you stand on it.

Nymyr's Light:Hardest fight in this bracket, the arenas some times is filled with the static witches either drag her to the portal area or make a new game as it makes the fight much harder, avoid the green smoke at all costs it does a lot of damage, try not to engage her while low on hp as she uses a shotgun attack even in melee, if you wish TU Bonesplitter will make you much tankier at the cost of your time.

The breakpoints are updated in the speedcalculator so you might want to edit those parts.

For the skill builds, im really confused why you didnt use Dragonfire Oil, and how does this build deals any damage without it.
Same goes for why you didnt put 1 point into graveyard since it deals a good amount of poison damage and 1 point is more than enough.

I played old melee necro for a LONG time, and didnt really had time to try revorked melee necro so can you please further explain your skill choices?

Also an uber section would be fantastic for newcomers.

Don't think Dragonfire Oil is worth the points specially if you plan on using parasite, you'll deal plenty of physical damage without it, just not enough skill points to spare unless you wish to lose a lot of defense or parasite targets, same applies for graveyard, 1 pt is completely ok just like going for 1 pt in pestilence i just don't find it worth the points imo, pre-rework i used to run 8 points too, i'll add as a optional 1-pointer anyways

If i calculated correctly in 126 level, if you have all the charms up to that point, you have 50 points to spend between deathlord-parasite-dragonfire. I thought i would max dragonfire and parasite and leave deathlord as 1. I dont know how much defense you lose by doing that and i actually started playing it and i would be around 110 in 24 hours so i can share some of my results as well

I just couldnt understnad why you wouldnt max dragonfire oil since its free damage. I get it you have a lot to smax and not enough points but i think some passives can be sacrified to get that juicy fire damage.

Also you didnt mentioned melee necro set anywhere. Is there a particular reason for that? You find the set useless among other options or what?

You lose A LOT of defense if you leave deathlord at 1 point, if you're doing ubers going for dragonfire oil over parasite would make sense i'll be sure to add it in the end game section after i test some more in 1.1.

Yea, i find the melee set to be quite lackluster, marchosia's 2 piece is much better.

is that uber 125 done for this build

duychuong099 wrote:is that uber 125 done for this build

in 1.0 yes no issues, but since it got reworked can't say for sure in 1.1, ill add once i play around with those.

Few more questions, why do you even put points into nightwalker? For poison length reduction?

Also rare marrow staves can have up to +12 necro skills, which can be used in early and mid game as a prebuff weapon.

Also it would be better if you name some unique amulet/ring alternatives, since getting a perticular one is pretty difficult thing to do, especially for newcomers.

For rings; Ring of truth, empriyan bands, Ripstar
For amulets: Athulua's Wrath, Angel heart
etc

Also for mo section, Larzuk's Round Shot is a great umo for all str stacking builds and why you dont use tcd mo's in armours? 1-2 Damage mo is pretty garbage and fhr is covered with jewels so i see no point wasting mo on them. Tcd should be pretty good since deathlord morph gives flat defense and it will get multiplied with tcd as well.

And i think set weapon is pretty crucial in late game boss fights because it has 20-25 slow. Astro, kab, witch, uldy and fights like that requires max slow and its a decent weapon.

i tried out in my old char. you get 0 defense added for points in deathlord. (at 4k str)

You now get an additional bonus from points in the melee skilltree via death pact from it, but thats it. wouldnt you rather put these points into famine or something if you want the def?

in end game, deathlord points dont to anything!

Can you show a ss of your def (fully buffed) with 1 pt deathlord and one with max deathlord ?
In the early/mid game you still need it maxed for sure, maybe they just hid the defense cap from it instead of removing it.
