2H Blood Knight DK isn’t a new concept by any means but no one’s posting theirs so here’s mine.
This is melee vitality Bone Harvest build with Reaping Arc as a filler skill. It’s not the tankiest build, but it has good leech and a large health pool to compensate.
With Soul Harvest, Call of the Grave and Abominable Might. Dps shown is Reaping Arc.
Gear
Blood Knight set of course
Guardian’s of Death’s Gates: Nice stat stick with built-in flat rr
Ghol gloves for Bone Harvest recharge
Dual rr rings because it’s a vitality soldier build
Namadea’s Eye for flat damage and conversion
Lunal belt for +1 necro and conversion. Needs affixes with high resistances.
Boneshatter Threads for physical and slow resist
Grava pants to cap Spectral Wrath. Can be replaced as long as you cap resists.
Uroboruuk’s relic to get Reaping Arc
Skills, Attributes and Devotions
Attributes: Just physique dump for health and DA. Spirit dump isn’t worth it, I tried.
Devotions: Weapon allows us to ignore flat rr in devos. Pick up Rattosh and Abom since the proc is partially converted by the belt. Throne and Berserker fit nicely to round out resistances.
Skills: I think there are no surprises here. Main damage skills are maxed, MoT and Ill Omen at soft cap for defense. Pump Decorated soldier to soft cap for elemental and slow resist. Can move points from Field Command into Menhir’s Will if you like, depending on the skill bonus you get on relic.
I have a spare level fifty Necro waiting for a new mastery, so I’m gonna go for this. Always tried SnB DeathKnights usually, so this should make a fun change. Cheers CT.
Choose between ~2k hp and 300 DA and 300% dmg increase. Both are valid, but Celestials fights and deep SR are gonna be a bit more sketchy with the latter.
figured that was aimed at the 90-100 bracket or something. 4100 oa with fighting spirit is pretty sick, i can’t say no to that on such a big single-hit nuke build. thanks for posting this, going to give it a shot
It has low cooldown and somewhat decent flat damage, maxing it increases activation chance. Guess you could remove the points there and max Call of the Grave instead if you like. Not much else worth maxing here tbh.
Also no % damage, no crit, and no flat damage at all for Reaping Arc. Hard skip. Dread Lord prefix isn’t that hard to get and provides global leech too.
Build has more than enough leech already, physical resistance is much more valuable when it comes to tankiness.
Prob use Voidrend Talons for flat chaos and attack speed. Use Reaper pants to hard cap Soul Harvest instead.
Losing the cdr to Bone Harvest is going to be a dps loss though. I wish the spiders were moved to another part of the Ghol set cause they annoy me too.
