This ^ 100%.

My necro is 100% vita but has a Max Block setup in stash (75% without dex added).

what exactly do u need mb for?

My setup for MB is the following ( just checked and I'm 72% - forgot I leveled 94 to 96).

Rare circ - 2/20/20dex/44life/2os (2x 7fhr 7str 9dex 10@ jewels) [38dex]
Craft ammy - 2/20/20dex/48life/10%regen [20dex]
Spirit of Reason - [10dex]
Enigma
SS Eld'd - Saves I think 17 or 19 to dex
Trangs
Craft ring - 10fcr/5str/15dex/52life/10@ [15dex]
Raven - [20dex]
Shadows - [25dex]
9x 45life pnbs
Perf torch - [20dex]
Perf anni - [20dex]
4x 20life / 2dex - [8dex]
6x 20/5s

+176dex from items +25 from base = 201 (72%)

Dex needed for MB with Eld'd SS @ lvl96 = 209 (75%)

Forgot to add in last post..

MB is good in pubs, when it is usually 4v1 and 50% of them mod.

You run into a lot of AA bowas / Charges in pubs, AA serkers etc.

what are these and where did you get them?

My bad they are 17mana/2dex.

You can kill charges with no shield at all. Bone cage them.

Well vita is the accepted only way to go since vita has a couple of better points:

- Far more versatility possible in terms of equipment
- Way more hp in all setups especially where it's possible to increase and required (NvN/NvS/NvH)
- Able to reach 40+ DR without losing much of any stat and thus being able to take on most melee's with ease in combination with bone armor
- Plus if you don't want to stay a rand who uses maxblock and just stands still and spams spirit then vita will teach you way more about the way of the necromancer.

y maxblock is nice vs zerk. also nice vs smiters

- Yes, if you know how to duel with vita necro you have great change to survive vs chars like ama / barb / hyb / ghost
- Imo vita necs are much better than mb necs, only if you dont have much experince to how play with nec then maybe mb nec is better for start in pub games.
