View Full Version : Best Build for Trangs Necro?
Im basically making a trang necro for fun and was wondering what the best build would be.
In terms of gear, I have full trang set (helm, armor, shield, gloves, belt). I can use arm of king leoric or black hand key. I have marrowwalks for boots, and FCR ammys and rings.

Thanks in advanced.

Well, the "best" necromancer that many believe in is just the Fishy:
20 RS
20 SM
20 CE
Then you can modify that with bone armor + synergies, or 1 pt in all curses for diversity.
The skeletons will tear through ****, and the Trang's will compliment the only weakness (vs. physical immunes)
BUT, I don't think that's what you're asking, is it?
I built a necro once that revolved around Trang's set. The idea is that he was pure caster - no minions. So I made him a curse/bone necro that focused on Dim Vision for crowd control, Trang's fire skills for raw damage, and Corpse Explosion to sexy it up. Put some points in Bone Spirit for bosses maybe? Bone skills have the distinct advantage that nothing is immune to them, and fire skills have the distinct disadvantage that so much is immune to them.
So really, they're very complimentary in my opinion.
Jesus, I'm drooling just thinking about it again. Once my MF Necro (boring Fishy man) is up to snuff, I'm tracking down Trang's and doing this myself.
Nothing is immune to Boneskills? Bone spear, bone spirit, teeth? I didn't know that.
Additionally, how important would it be to max CE? With the plus skills and the way monsters like to stand on top of each other, is it necessary?

Necessary? Probably not.
But it's awesome.
By the way, does anyone know for sure if Fire Mastery from Trang's affects CE?
If they're magic immune, they're immune to bone. But it's neither physical or elemental, so most everything takes it full on.

DO NOT USE BONE SKILL WHILE WEARING FULL TRANGS. Your FCR is that of a vampire, which will make your casting of spear + spirit very slow.

^ What if you just don't wear one piece? You'll only be missing the Mastery, and you'll skip all the vampire business.
you get a ton of poison skill bonus so i'd say that would be your best bet. any poison immunes can be handled by the fact that you already have lower resist and fire skills.
sounds like a winner to me :)

Why not do Psn AND Summon? :grin:
20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Skeletons
1 Clay Golem
1 Golem Mastery
1 Summon Resist
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Explosion
1 pt in curses to Lower Resist
Rest in Psn Dagger
This build would rock with Trangs. You do Phys Damage, Fire Damage(firewall is great for bosses like Baal), and Poison Damage. Deaths Web is the best option, but a cheap and effective alternative would be a shoped wand with 2+Necro skills and 1+lower resist(save on all those seeded curses!).

I'm on this path now sitting at
20 PNova
20 Pexp
20 Skel
2 SMast
1 all curses
1 SMages
3 Golems/Mast/Resist
The 2 in skel mastery was kind of a Mess-up early on. I'm pumping PDagger now, it's up to 5 or so, and I'm thinking about going for revives...
It's a fun time. Can run Hell Pits with no problem.
I'm using my modest wealth to gear up and level 4 other characters Instead of saving for the Set Belt +Helm.
cause then you dont have full-strength summons!
it's all about style, guys, come on! a vampire running around throwing novas and meteors? TOO COOL~

looks pretty legit, but would revive be better?
and two more questions, why not fire golem, and you mean raise skeletons not mages right?

could u tell me where to put the points for a curse/bone build
If I was going to make another Necro with the Trang-Oul's setup then I'd go all poison, one in each curse, and one point revive. The Poison necro doesn't really have many minions unless you cut out a synergy for skeletons(Inefficient for this build) or you use revives(Any +skills should boost this up enough so that you can raise a few good minions plus a clay golem, of course) . Your attack doesn't work right away, so you need something for the monsters to beat on while they turn green to the core!

Ive gone a full poison necro with full trangs, damn awesome and a lot of fun. Stacked resists ftw and with + skills i can summon quite a strong and large army that can all stand around and watch the poison nova's kill stuff really quickly.
That sounds pretty cool. How is it on your mana? Hard to keep up?
