Necro + Nightblade (Reaper build)

[MK1980]

Here is a dual wield acid build I threw together with the Deathguard set: http://www.grimtools.com/calc/RZR9PPKV

i’d go for abomination for that acid build. that proc is pretty awesome. better than scorpion sting or other such low level stuff. also, since the set weapon is a dagger, oklaines lantern would be a decent constellation to pick up along the way. full of nice little stats that are always good to have (but rarely available since most melee builds don’t use scepters, daggers or caster offhands).

i’d argue they even made the set weapon a dagger precisely so you can snatch the lantern along the way to abomination (most other scythe-looking weapons are actually axes)

Talking of poison/acid builds…

Would it be viable with a melee / ravenous earth build? As an alternative to witch hunter.

Probably not as good as WH i reckon, but how about something like this?

Good idea. My early devotion choices put abomination out of reach, but I was to get it with this improved load out along with a few points to move around freely: http://www.grimtools.com/calc/wV1wOAnN

I am liking the look of this build. Does it matter what skills are bound to which devotions?

Also, should I be using the skills granted by my items - gaze, final strike & biting blades?

My rotation consists of shadow strike - LMB, amarasta’s blade burst - RMB, 1 - bone harvest, 2 - ring of steel, 3 - mark of torment, 4 - pneumatic burst, 5 - blade barrier.
