Any ideas for a bone harvest build? which class would be best to combine with?
i alway gor for melee,but this time i would like to do a sort of tanky necro mage and bone harvest seems attractive
Here’s my Death Knight build that I’ve put together. It’s exactly what you’re looking for.
ok this does not look to bad, you mix melee and bone harvest?
any other suggestions for class combos?
Yup. Blitz in, drop Bone Harvest, Ill Omen, Mark of Torment, and start swinging.
This is a very tanky build but Reaper (Nightblade/Necromancer) would probably do more damage.
how would a reaper build look?
btw i don´t want to copy a pre-made build,just asking for some combo ideas, i like experimenting 
Not sure as I’ve never really played with Nightblade before. Always been an Occultist/Demolitionist/Necromancer/Soldier guy. Check out some of the other build threads that are detailing a Reaper build :).
would something like this work?
anybody?
would this work without a “real” lmb skill?
(i got no items etc,i deleted everything from the old chars to start all over again)
don’t see why it shouldn’t work. doing melee or ranged weapon attacks would seem kinda pointless with such a build, so i guess i would be tempted to also throw some points into ravenous earth just to get another spell.
run around, drop your nuke spells as they come off cooldown, laugh like an evil madman as the powers of nature and death at your disposal kill everything
would the char be tanky enough? shaman mastery gives a good amount of life + lifesteal from devouring swarm + heart of the wild
2hand for the bone harvest sidepath or 1hand weapon + offhand?
don’t know if it would be tough enough. most of your damage will come from those nuke spells, the only skill that requires you to get (close) to melee range is bone harvest. so you probably won’t have to hang out in melee range all the time and probably won’t have to be very tanky to survive. if you don’t add the transmuter to BH, it also has a fairly long range, so you might be able to cast it on the ground in front of you rather than running up to melee range.
as for 2H vs. 1H+caster item - it’s a tradeoff. it will hit a lot harder with a 2H since it has fairly high weapon damage scaling - 250% at rank 16. with a heavy 2H that has maybe 300 or more base weapon damage, the weapon damage will be the largest part of the total damage of the skill. with a 1H and caster offhand, you get cooldown reduction, though. so you can drop all of your spells more often. i guess both options can work. ideally, you’d get a 2H with built in cooldown reduction, but i think there is no random affix for that, so you’d be stuck with a very limited selection of unique 2H weapons that have cooldown reduction.
i guess i will test the build,any changes suggested? is there a skill that just needs 1 point i´ve chosen?
i will go for a 1hand and a shield until i find a viable 2hand,i saw there are several new unique weapons which give +1 to necro etc
I don’t believe Bone Harvest is good enough in and of it’s self to make a build around. Use it for the 5 second buff.
hmm,i guess i will try it,if it does not work i will change it later
how about ill omen,this is some sort of panic button i guess,is 1 point enough in the beginning?
which devotions should i aim for with vitality and cold damage + defense etc? ( i usually suck at choosing devotions )
why should it not be good enough? it’s a hard hitting skill with with a huge area of effect. can wipe entire trash groups in one shot on its own. and it has a pretty short cooldown.
Uh…hard hitting? I guess?

anyone please?
haven’t used ill omen on my reaper. looks interesting, but my skillbar is already overloaded and i tend to just mash buttons randomly if i put too many skills onto it 
as for devotions - not sure what i’d pick for a vitality necro build. i’ve used wendigo and rattosh on my vitality caster conjurer, they work all right. guess they’d also work for any other vitality build.
which devotion should i use on devouring swarm to spread more damage?
