2h Melee Necro

I tested gambling offline and i rolled for 5 hours, Tier 2 rolls in act 4 which was macroed to make it faster : 3851 and no unique, that's not just bad luck that statistically tells you should never gamble for anything period. Some might get lucky maybe 1 out of 50 people but that's not gonna be you.

The hours i spent rolling for these i could have gotten to 100+ easily and by then my tu would have been obsolete, don't waste gold rolling for tu's, try it 5 or 10 times if you have no 2h already and then just keep leveling with runewords until one drops.

The t2 raptor scythes was 15-21k at level 60 it might be lower for you, but that's roughly 4k mystic orbs i pissed away on gambling to get a TU that can easily be farmed by killing bosses and more than 57 million gold, trust me it's not worth gambling in Median.

You just gamble for the base and use the TU upgrade recipe to make your unique. Kill Mephisto or Nihlathak in Normal 5 times, disenchant your 10 unique drops for 2 arcane crystals, buy a blue oil off the vendor, and then you just have it. Takes like seven minutes, tops. Maybe one extra run if you're doing Meph, because sometimes he'll drop a failed unique because he's high enough level for the t2 base but not the t2 unique.

Meh, never is a strong word. I always gamble at level 1 for possible TU out the gate if the base and level req allow it. It almost never works but occasionally it does and speeds up leveling. Sometimes you can get a juicy rare with good mods instead. If it doesn't work the vendor bases you need for basic rws are only 1g and the ~1000-1400g wasted won't be missed.

I have been testing and learning this build on stream. trying to sort through all the outdated guides and forum posts has been a headache.

Better to just grab a ied throwing axe and then make shark/black cat later when you have enough points in parasite for the flat dmg to carry.

Gear and skills are outdated so no ?

Gameplay also a bit different since you want to leap all the time now :bounce:

Would be great have upgrade this

I dabbled a few days with melee necro and this is my conclusion. Reaper would be a nice addition if we didnt had to jump every 5 sec to buff.There is no other class/spec that needs to buff every 5 sec to farm effectively, and parasite alone just cant be effective in 120+ areas. Not to mention its not even a buff, but an ackward leap which takes more time than normal buffs.My proposition would be-25 or 30 skill points in parasite=reaper. That way you still have to pay the cost of skill points to make a dedicated farming setup.
