Question on Bone Necromancer

[Arieta]

Well, Im going to be making a Bonemancer and I was wondering. Should i go for max block or straight vita in this build? Shield will be a Homunuculus. Thanks

[mr_mop]

I wont answer that cause you are too lazy!

OK maybe I will...

Read the damn guide!!!!!!!!!!!!! (http://soulesschild.hiveports.com/necguide/) :rant:

I don't know, I think it's a decent question, especially since the linked guide pretty much says "it's your preference". Besides that, it's focused on PvP, and it's not like these guides are the Bible, anyway.

Personally, I like block with Homunculus, since it has pretty high blocking anyway.

Of course it's preference. It's something you find as you go a long. You'll realize if most of your duels are against melee or casters. Also, your going to try out different cast rates. If you don't go block, you can use other shields that will help you get to the 125% fcr bp.

There's a lot of variables and it's all about PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

I'm sorry I offended anyone by actually posing an opinion when it should be totally left up to everyone's preference. Sheesh, I feel like I touched on something religious here. :)

Since Arieta didn't mention PvP, I am assuming PvM and thus came my opinion. Arieta, I apologize if I deprived you of your right to choose. :)

I wasn't being rude, i was simply reinforcing the idea that it's all personal preference. No need to be a sarcastic ****sucker.

I think some people in this forum should take a break answering questions. I read 'READ THE GUIDES' all the time here. Ofcourse they should read the guides, but obviously they didn't. I'd say the best answer is to point at the guides in a normal way, and if it's an easy question, answer it.

Or just ignore it and move on.

[muckus]

No prob, gvandale. Just thought the all caps meant you were shouting at me. And if I meant the sarcasm in a bad-spirited way I would have forgone the smilies. Just figured answering the guy's question with our personal preferences wouldn't be a bad thing. After all, this whole game is about personal preference, so that's not really a straight answer.

moving on... :)

i looove block! a barb's ww can be blocked and save ur life.

Strength - Enough to wear equipment (For Me, 118, Marrows.)
Dex - 180 (Max block with Homo)
Vit - Rest Here
Energy - Base


It really is preference...I went for strength first, then pumped Dex/Life. I would go for BLOCK first but its my opinion. But Remember, plan ahead so items you can see if you have +dex / +vit or "increase maximum vitality/mana 25%" or something like that. Look for that.
