=( another one of these posts.

It all depends, against casters (most of pub duels) all vit necro will give ya a better chance and a good advantage against other necros.

against zons, max block would be great. I played some good ones and these are the ones that give my vit necro a problem.

Look at the 'PvP Bone Necro' guide in the sticky for a good comparision of the two or try searching for other posts on this topic.

PS: if you choose the vit necro, get some FHR charms to hit 86%(or is it 87% :scratch: )frame or a minimum of 56%, if you choose dex necro, i would sacrifice some PB charms for extra 20 life smfcs and use gear to tweak your dex so that you have 70%+ block W/ your EQ on.

Too bad Fatty is hitting the books hard...cuz he has both(though I'm sure some others do to) but he seems to favor the Vita Necro more than the blocking it seems like.

HoS

I think vita build with 86 fhr is the way to go. Even with 6x block and 56 fhr, I still face a lot problems with Doom charger pal.

If you're pvp, I'm going to assume you run and not walk. All the more reason to go vit over dex

Same question, different thread.

Same question, different thread.

here's how i see it, in pubs, regardless of blocking or not, you will eventually find a character that will make you regret you didn't have block, I.E. fast tele barbs, chargers, fast amazons, if you dont have top of the line gear, i wouldn't suggest going full vita, my blocker necro (my only necro actually since my other nec is on ladder untwinked...) has 3.1k life with battle orders, that more then most vita necros that i have met, only because i have pretty decent gear and i planned out my character every step of the way
