Recently I've been enjoying a lot the company of two VK with my necro when I was out for bossing. I need to try NH for Baal and Astro, but for the others the playstyle is super chill.
I'm so relaxed that I'm considering farming Kab for trophy frags, something I could dream of before I met the VK bros. I've checked the reanimates listing but :
TL;DR : what would be, in your opinion, the best reanimate? I know they don't do much but maybe some aura/proc is really worth it...
Thanks
I think more research is needed on Resurrects and Reanimates, so I can't really say which one is the best. It also depends on what build you're doing or what you want to do. For example, Rust Claws and Aberrant Lizards might be good for physical attackers but not so useful for Abyss Knights/Jinn Necromancers. Since most of the aura-having monsters don't seem to give their bonuses as reanimates anymore, it seems like reanimates fall broadly into two categories: Tanks (Have to be very tanky because you can't just resummon them casually) or utility debuffers
For the former, Tree of Life is probably unrivaled because it is both tanky and casts Inner Fire on itself, which rapidly regenerates its health. Blight's Hierarch and Darkwardens aren't bad either in terms of tankiness, but they cannot heal themselves. Akarat (from
Myrrhbearer
or Relic (Body of the Savior)
) also heals himself at low health, but testing in Dimensional Labyrinth has shown that he cannot survive Corrupted Barbarian's Iron Spiral. Darkwardens are also quite good at hitting things because of their powerful Retaliate.tl;dr kinda hard to say what's "best" reanimate, depends on build, some are more easily accessible than others so maybe go for what's convenient (nearby a waypoint).
Reanimate (from actual Reanimate, not from Resurrect) are just RNG from crafting or Kabraxis trophy anyways, so I wouldn't worry too much about getting an "ideal" one. They're just meatshields / distractions when you're clearing Fauzt.
