As I near my completion of my USEast Ladder pnb necro (my first pvp charactar ever and thus, public not ch), I'm wondering a few things. Currently i have

40% hoto / P Boneshade
breast plate enigma
homoncullus
30% mara's
Shako
2x sojs
arachnids
trangs gloves
my boots are undecided
6x pnbgcs with 16,30,31,34,36, and 38 life (plan on getting 4 more)

Not quite sure about scs. i have a few with 5% fhr and a few with 16-20 life and decent res (10-11). Not quite sure where to go with them, whether i need fhr or more life. Im using homoncullus for its block rate rather than darkforce, and im wondering if I should socket it with an um or something else (money is no object). Maybe a Jah? Also what is dexterity needed for max block with homo at ~90?

Next is Stat point distribution. I'm wondering if i wear a 30 strength ammy and put on enigma, then take off the ammy, would enigma stay because of the +str? I'm hoping that I won't have to put any points into strength or Energy. Then dexterity for max block and rest vita I presume.

One last thing is boots. I'm clueless on them, except i know im not using marrowalk bug. thats about all I know. Help on these would questions would be very helpful to myself. Thank you.

overall ur gear is fine. As for taking off the ammy u lose the 30 str when taking it off so then the enigma will appear to be not on ur char because the req have not been met. Hope this helps..

Thank you for reply.

I was thinking though, that I would have enough strength because of enigma's +str based on clvl. Has anyone tried this yet?

Wow thats a tuffy. im thinking that it doesnt include the added str from the enigma if u dont have the str not including enigmas bonus to str. Hope u can understand that....... :scratch:

Thanks again for reply. I understand what you're saying. Enigma is only 67 lev req so i wont put points into strength and try this and see what happens. If not i'll put points into it. If so, then very well. If this does work i'll report back my findings.

I think the way it works for that is that you can put the armour on after the ammy, then take the ammy off. however, if you die, and click on your body, you can't get your enigma on (especially if you have no room in the inventory). Therefore, you're subject to have your enigma poof on you. poof, as in dissapear forever.

Oh wow, thank you. Very helpful. I'll have to put some points into strength then, because ill be very dissapointed if my enigma dissapears :hanky: T'was the first enigma i made myself, sentimental value, ya know?

I forgot to mention, im using a 6/5/2 cta crystal sword, should i use a lidless with it or any shield +1 or something else?

Hi brudner. This really looks like my current project (except i dont have that many skillers yet). Just want to say if you haven't decided on boots yet I, among others recommend marrowalks. Where did you plan to put all the skillpoints? :wave:

All your questions are answered more or less in my guide, else just ask here and I'll do my best.

Yeah, I'm thinkin that im gonna go with marrowalks because boots really are, i think, the most lacking item slot, and from what i hear the bug is insane.

and thanks souless for the guide! much help. Just wondering, it says maxblock dex for homoncullus is 192. I looked, i probably missed it, but what clvl is that?
