Q:

Heya,

I’ve been following most of Sheobix’s Juggermancer guide for the gear, but i’m looking to vary it up a bit. But i need some advice on its viability.

So, i’m aiming for 3k atk, 3k armor, and 30k health.

my stats atm: (with traits, 20/0/25/25/0) – 3321 atk, 2849 armor, 28122 health.
this is with soldier’s armor + weapons. all equipped with crests of the soldier. Also, two invader’s accessories (with soldier’s crest as well), Soldier’s ascended amulet + 1 ring, 1 emerald platinum ring + mad king back.

Should I switch from crests to runes? If so, i was thinking to get 5 superior runes of the warrior + 1 more for vit and pow.

Should i switch from crests on weps to sigils? If so, what is the best for a powermancer build? I was thinking sigil of force/bloodlust, restoration or hydromancy.

Also i’m a bit worried about heal pow. Would it be useful to get some cleric’s gear instead of soldier’s? (e.g 1 accessory, 1 ring)

This post seems a bit long and complicated, but any advice would be much appreciated.

THANKS.

Going going tanky is good on a necro, but all out tank is kinda a Crippling Overspecialization (tvtropes it), having some utility effect runes and sigils seems a better option most of the time. Clerics is only useful if you go all out with it (going 0/0/10/30/30) for WoB, Regen and Invigoration, but if you do go all out tank, getting Dolyak runes is probably the best option, despite the regen being kinda low, it does helps when you are on 30+k hp and for sigils, the best ones on a tanky necro are the on swap, killstacks dont do much outside of open world pve/farming and on crits wont proc enough times while in soldier gear to make the worth it. More endurance or aoe conditions are always nice, on staff leeching kinda a ok option.

When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.
