Yes to all

You could make the case for like an IG with insight if teleport and bone spear is sucking down mana

Then you could also run my personal favorite ebotd warpike or obedience Merc with amp and Gface / Treachery for bossing

I prefer homunculus over ss on hc necro.

Yes, ss is more tanky but homunculus gives you so much more of the other stuff…

And I think you’ll be tanky enough anyway.

Edit: and yes, max block


TY everyone.

No blocking on a necro, 125fcr is too valuable.

This.
People talk silly about hc needing max block ss or homunculus for the build. With skillers and synergies your bone armor will be 900+ negating physical damage. 125 fcr very important, can still run coa for a bit of dr and be at 3500+ life with CTA no problem

Edit: of course use insight, unless you like 3 columns of mana pots

You lose shako with mf, life and damage reduction, also +2 to cta. If you're that concerned about physical dmg, you could socket a ber rune into that shako. Necro doesn't have a defense enhancing skill to further reduce hits taken like a sorc. You're more likely to not recover from the hit in time to tele away when those 75% pure chance just fail. 25% chance to get hit is a lot. Anyone with a little math skills can calculate what happens if you land in a group of moonlords :lol:

I actually ran stormshield on my necros for the Dr, but I can't say I've done a lot of bone. Won't the bone armor help us a lot with the physical hits here also?

Honestly, I make more characters for accidental disconnect, it seems all of this might be overkill even for HC.

Yeah, you just recast bone armor periodically. Homunculus is not the shield for max block, that much is sure.
