Set IOs in Necromancy

Posted

I've returned to my Necro/Dark (my initial Villain main) recently after moving him to Union and really enjoying him at the mo.

Just wondering about this. If I stick ToHit/Recharge Set IOs into the Lich and Grave Knights will it improve the rate they cast those powers?

Similarly if I stick Def/Recharge into Grave Knights will it decrease the recharge rate of the broadsword attacks.

Finally what levelling slotting would people use in their pets. I'm level 32 now so no purples or HOs please.

Well my end red IOs in my T3 Merc pet reduces the end cost of his powers so I'd think it would but not 100% sure. Dont know if it will affect the AI on which powers they use though.

While leveling I only used SOs on mine, cause that's all there were. but on the Lich I would try to max out fear duration, accuracy and maybe something in hold to finish with


"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

Looks like the answer is yes.


I've not really IOd my MMs that much. The set bonuses for the pet sets don't seem to stack very well. I would try to get my hands on the defence and resitance uniques though.

Interesting. I'm not too worried about Set bonuses, I'm going for frankenslotting, especially on the Lich, to get his -ToHit, Accuracy, Damage and maybe a bit of recharge in there.

I think the Defense and Resist uniques will probably be going into Spirit.

There's a great US thread on this here for those interested.

Best approach seems to be straight up Acc & Dam for the zombies.

Acc & Dam for knights, the Achillles Heel PROC for -resist in their broadsword attacks and a Def Debuff/Recharge or two to speed up the broadsword attacks.

Acc for the Lich coupled with ToHit Debuff/Recharge as it'll improve the recast speed and ToHit debuff of almost all his attacks.

Anyone know about Dark Servant, if I slot ToHit debuff/Recharge will it improve the recast time of the dark servant as well as speeding up how often he attacks?

It'll improve the recharge times of his attacks that take Tohit Debuff sets. Which, uh, should be mostly everything?

Will it also improve the recharge of my Dark Servant power? Because I need something like 90% to perma him afaik?

Yes it will (although it's closer to 110%). I have him perma with 2 Rechg IOs and Hasten.
