never use whitstan on a necro - voodoo heads are available in both rhyme and rare form

but when you use whitstan use a 9 dex/-15 req/mods jewel, or if you dont need -req i guess 9 dex/8 life/mods

thanks...... but that doesnt answer my question whatsoever lol
whitstans would be for a mb switch, and a nec head as main.
for mb switch, i was curious which gives more block, 9dex or eld(7icb), because it's been like 6-7 years since ive made a lld necro and thats a small detail i don't recall.

using whistans for mb saves you like 100 life over a head, and you lose 350 dmg. and there is no chance of parade on whistans

you dont use whistans on a necro, but in a necro head, eld saves about 12 dex on a 30/20 unraveller head, so if u can find 9 dex + enough adds that beat 3 vit/12 life, then the jewel is better. (not hard, str/dex jewels are common)

just use a 30/20 demon head and you only need like 100dex for max block I think or 103
