If it has 29+% dex bonus and 14+% DR, yes :) Your damage with full dex can be very high, but you won't have any procs, almost no extra life leech and useless melee slow which is overrided by %slow target from Talon's Hold.

Poison pierce is optional and worth only if you're either using gear with Punisher/Venomous Spirit proc or using Snake Stance from Sinwar shield.

%ED, life leech are nice MO's to cube your set with.

Well, it won't hurt in the furture if you decide to change your set to something more powerful, or if you happen to find BotSQ.

Thanks for the guide!
Immediately after reading it, I respec my noob necro to melee type.
I take a lot of tips from you, but basically I like to experiment.
Now i have lvl ~90 melee necro and i really like it.

Previously I played with druid-treewarden (lvl ~100)
... Yes im pretty new in singleplay.
Was played before (some older median xl version) in MP but there my characters is deleted :D

But I feel that necro becomes my main character...
I have already done 'Level Challenge 1', 'The Ennead Challenge' and 'Level Challenge 2'
The hardest was the 'Level Challenge 2', but my melee-necro is pretty fast on foot (even with walking) so Horadric mage attacks was easy to avoid.
Attacking with 'Angel of Death' almost maxed with 87 lvl...
One accurate blow and they bleeding to death :twisted:

Not incredibly important knowledge, but unless the morph was in Clod, it doesn't change run/walk speed while switching between the two. Static run/walk on MXL morphs.

Yes, something like that already saw on my druid, but I was not completely sure.

Thanks for the guide, melee necro is so much fun to play. Very effective on farming, will see how it goes for boss killing.

I got some questions about the build:

1)It seems MO priorty for weapons go like this? ED>Life Leech> Attack rating (If missing), would you squeeze only 1 miasma in there because its too good?
2) What do you think about Bane for offensive build? 1 point seems huge with + skillers
3) After ED cap on armours do we just go for - fire/psn res(consideing FHR is capped with jewels)?
4) Would you consider Klaatu Barada Nikto as a good amulet for melee necro?
