In recent experience, dolyak runes and the knight’s amulet have been working pretty alright for me—the results are that I’m rather tanky and sometimes, one (sometimes two) person(s) isn’t enough, it’d take 3 ppl to take me down. I have more odds facing a 2v1 with my current build as I did before when I ran a very basic power necro.
My playstyle is still very power necro’y, but now I can effectively sustain against focus fire while still doing what a necro should: droppin the dps, debuffing, and strategic cc.
As for the math, that’s just cruel to ask for -.-
I was extremely nervous to even try something other than what I usually ran for my necro, but it was no more than 10 seconds to just click (in pvp) the knight amulet and dolyak runes. I saw the stats and was slightly impressed. The damage is slightly lack-luster, being that your atk stat is at 2k (compared to zerker amulet, we know, that’s low); also, your health will be at a lil above 20k (if memory serves). Your armor rating will sit at a pretty 3.2k though, and your crit rate is 43% which is arguably not too bad.
This is a really low-quality description of the build thus far; however, I don’t want to give everything away, there’s definitely plenty of room for variation.
Still with me? If I still remember correctly, (with the doly/knight build) your crit damage is at 150%. Again, not as high as zerker’s but that’s not what the build is made to do. With all these factors considered, here’s what you/we’ve made: your necro regenerates health constantly thanks to the runes, your health and toughness are high enough that you can withstand some damage without having to be concerned with disengaging for a decent amount of time. Furthermore, your utility on the battlefield sums up to being a tanky nuisance to the enemy—becoming a perfect target to soak up a decent amount of damage and allow your high damage teammates to really shine.
I’m not tryin to write an article though, (I apologize if it’s already gone past that) so I’m gonna end it here. Glhf with your theory-crafting and cheers for the build that works for you!
p.s Sorry, I will not be linking full build because that’d take away from the fun of trying out new stuff on your own.
