Since D2A's rules have allowed plague I'll build bow/plague hybrid. Not sure how much dmg I can get in 2.4 but calc said right now it will be up to 46k with SS or 53k with Spirit or 55k & -20pr (+20/-20) on pubs. Pretty decent.

About fhr I meant overall, not in socket case. To reach 32 fhr breakpoint I have to sacrifice 7 slots. It's equivalent of 21frw or up to 140life without BO (or lets be more realistic 80-100).

I hope that Strafe won't be banned. Now you can have only 1 hard point despite nerf dmg.

Yeah I was using 46k/53k (max both psn and plague) but it just felt so cheese. They go to 1hp in like 5-10 sec lol. Who knows, maybe I’ll go back to it, but even at 30k I been doing great. The saved pts will be going to multi in 2.4

After tons of tests, the fhr is 100% worth the hp loss. I recommend the 32 breakpoint

I’m actually currently thinking of how to damage necros better, as the bone armor soaks up so much of the damage. They been my biggest struggle next to gg telesmiters ofc, which are like a 95/5 advantage over zon anyways haha.

I don’t think they will. They can’t, it’s a vital skill for zons, who are actually not in a good place as of right now, but they will be a top class in 2.4, it’ll probably stay at 1 pf strafe.

necro's do get rekt hard by straffe

iirc strafe hits both him and his golem and will pierce on either one of them

i remember my 40k fg necro with 4k life 44% dr setup got rekt by a pub bowie in about 2x strafe

Smart one with 50dr & mb can be pain on the ass.

Yeah not to mention they can bone prison you since you can tele. That’s the biggest downside. So if you strafe in the wrong moment, you’ll be stuck also shooting the prison.

thats true

maybe lightning fury with pierce in that case? fury even with low dmg should break those prisons and the pierce could hit the necro also

Yeah that works, and I use it when I can but it’s hard when you’re dodge locked and fhr’d from spears
