Help needed with Necro Heads/Wands

[ThomasJohnsen]

I am currently compiling a list of all the usefull staffmods able to spawn on class-specific items. Since I haven't played all available builds of all characters, I am gonna need some help.

Which staffmods (and coupled if neccessary with affixes, type, look, color) are needed for a Necromancer Shrunken Head/Wand in White/Blue/Yellow to be of any value (ie. to be superior to a unique like Homunculus/AoKL)?

Example: For a Boner, an excellent white wand would have staffmods +3 Bone Spear, +3 Bone Spirit, ....

Thank you in advance
Tom

A Necro Head with 2 Sockets and +3 Raise Skeleton and Skeleton Mastery would make an excellent Splendor runeword candidate.

It would indeed for an mf-ing fishy. Thank you for the input, I will definately keep it in mind, when compiling my list :thumbup:.

My aim is to create a table of desirable affixes/staffmods/automods on items, so the unexperienced player may be able to distinguish a great item from a junk item simply by a quick glance through the tables. I often see questions in the PC forum or posts in the showoff threads with vendor-worthy (is that a word?) items. My list is aimed to help players without experience in any/all class/build, to quickly determine items of interest.

My current list can be found here (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=685246). Hopefully I can get enough comments to make the list reflect the general view of the community on what makes items valuable.

Hope this explains my current spammage of class forums.

For a white wand, good things outside of spirit for the 3rd staff mod include LR (for team PK), Decrep (similar), or Revives.

For a necro head, RS, SM, and RSM are all good candidates. For a bone necro, similar staff mods to the wand are preferably.
