Best use of TO set.. need help.

[heilskov]

Anyways I need advice about what build to give the necro I plan to have wear it.


anyways I was thinking about making a venom user, with either skele warriors or a semi good golem and ce.


besically I was thinking either one of these builds:


---------Build 1 for TO set---------------
20 psn dagger
20 psn explosion
20 psn nova

20 skele warriors
20 skele mastery

01 amp


or just:

---------Build 2 for TO set---------------
20 psn dagger
20 psn explosion
20 psn nova

1 firegolem
1 golem mastery
1 summon res.

20 lower res.

(with this build the golem attracts attention and you lower res, helps your golems dmg, your fire / psn dmg)


Im in favor of the lower build.. any idea´s or other thing you guys think I should take into consideration ?

build 1

obviously you did your homework on TO being suited for a Venomancer. Now what secondary?

Skell's is the way to go. Get more curses then just amp. 1 ea amp down to decrep, and ea Ai curse.

socket up some p.facets

might merc for skell killing.

now this may be more of a skelli build, with poison, either way, it's an effective killing machine.

the reason i don't like #2 is because of the block bug with TO's, which means, its just you / golem / merc. skell's add another line of defenses.

I must agree with G. And I would like to add that if you go with build 1 you should invest in all the curses, or at least in the AI curses.

the complete TO's set should give enough +skills so that a single point invested in a curse can be extremely useful, so i would say put a point into each curse down to lower resists.

im making one of these guys, look for my thread (Trangmancer)

i'm doing a poision skelle hybrid with 1 pt into each curse, a golem, gm, sr, revive. the skelles kill much faster with my merc, but, he only has 40 life and i hired him at lvl 20 (lowest there was). it just makes no sense

[gvandale]

lower resist blows in my opinion for this build. skellies need amp, and all bosses require decrep.

in between that, you have your miscellaneous times you use dimvision / confuse / attract...

so where does lower res come in?

LR comes in to remove some of the poison immunes(depending on equipment and level of LR)

Though with my Venom hybrid, I didn't have to use if often.

My new Lagamancer uses full Trang's for now, and I only went up to Decrepify for my curses. Nothing better than 13 Skeletons/12 Mages/9 Revives(so far)/and a pet Poison Vine...to further induce lag.

I am 79 with my trang summoner and loving it. Planning to place a few more pts in pn but i sacrificed damage for def due to 60% max block on trangs head.

Going very nicely so my vote is build 1 with slight adjustment. Ensure 1 pt in decrep and pre reqs and 1 pt in dim vision for those pesky gloams and archers. You will really appreciate the difference not dying makes...

[ElvishLegion]

Maybe we need someone to write up a Trangs FAQ? Trangs is better suited for a nova mancer than a dagger mancer, as the vampire thing is just far to buggy, and you dont want to spam novas anyway so the cast rate isnt a problem, though you can get much better gear for a venomancer. I would go a hybrid (just do a search and I bet youll find lots of stuff)

my trang-necro is a hybrid. all i need to do is max sm and rs to get my damage higher. its a pain in hell. i also have 1 pt in all curses. LR is very useful. making my fire spells do more damage faster.

TO block bug? what bug? :scratch:

[gvandale]

it was recently discovered that there is a bug with blocking when using the trangs set. but the new discovery is that you do in fact block, but it just don't look like it.
