1h Melee Necro (Dagger & Dex)

Elendilli wrote:the void is technically not an uber you would need an eth 1h weapon anyway. gluttony can be killed but requires a little strategy to defeat him. you need decent damage but more importantly try constantly moving around and attacking while you move around. he sometimes will not regen and will be enough to burst him.

if you still think you don't have enough dps after trying that then try making eth Shark Xis but Defiler should be enough looking at your expensive gear setup. Even 2h scythe high damage if you were STR setup with would suffice.

also, your shield doesn't have to be crafted. Hellspeak TU is incredibly good and can 40% dex on its own but no %increase block. 1h necromancer doesn't really need max block because you'll have over 30 block and 600k+ armor anyway. the combination of the two provides sufficient survivability which is why x2 giants knuckles is better than stacking block. Uldyssian is nice to have block on but not really a concern even in labyrinth.

thanks a lot

Can you share d2dstat for this gear pls?
How many dmg of Carnage or Parasite you have?
Thanks

How does this build do at the moment?

My xbox Necro is stuck at 120 ubers (Baal, Duncraig (can clear but dies after teleporting)) so I'm considering trying this build

xbow necro has been nerfed to oblivion a couple seasons back. melee necro is way easier for most content.

don't worry about how much damage ideal items will give you. what's important for melee necro is your weapon. high physical damage rolls (%ED and ADDS/+MAXIMUM DAMAGE) on the weapon is what matters the most whether you are using 2h scythe or 1h dagger. everything else is just secondary compared to the weapon.

My Necro is level 123 but I feel his def is kinda low compared to the guide, only 398k fully buffed (although I was able to complete Kingdom of shadow 1st try). My gear:

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?

, 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."
