Poison necro severed head usage

yea well.. pretty simple question really, HOMO or trangs skull? if u use 3 trangs items u get -25%enemy psn resist.. which is good, but if u use homo u get curses and that way lower resist.. and u can also use arachnids mesh then and there u get skills... and whats the deal about only putting 4 point into lower resist? is that really a good idea?? or should i max?

btw... deaths web has to be better than hoto right?? :scratch:


also does anyone know what open wound do to ur poison dmg?

The most important thing for a Poisonmancer is -% Enemy Poison Resist. This gives you the biggest increase in damage. After that comes +% Poison Damage and last are +skills.

You can do various calculations and when you have maxed your synergies, you will find that -% Enemy poison damage gives you the biggest boost. This is because it works on the enemy. Because it works on the enemy it will amplify the effects of things like +% Poison Damage and +skills.

With that in mind, the best Shrunken Head is Trang's.

LR has severe diminishing returns. After it reaches level 7 your points will not give you a big increase in -%enemy resist. With a mere 1 point, most people are able to reach level 7 depending on +skills.

However if you have maxed everything you wanted to max and you have gotten the rest of your skills up to spec, you can dump leftover points in LR.

Yes, Death's Web is better than HotO because Death's has -%Enemy Poison Resist.

Nothing at all. OW is a completely different form of damage.

PvM yes. PvP no.

i change between hoto/web/enigma/bramble, not lvl 80 yet so dont use my arach just yet, but i like the homu better than the trangs at the moment as im not really playing much pvp with this char due to me being shockingly bad at playing it competitively so im walking myself thru hell, and the LR helps soo much, but im up to the palace in act 2 and theres lots of PI archers which do me over real bad

Dweb is better than Hoto for PVP as well in my experience. Since the -% poison resistance on items increases the poison length, you'll have to cast nova less than you would before, not to mention the 40%-50% damage/per second boost. A deaths web also has superior +skills than hoto, and you only need to hit 48 or 75% if you plan on teleing with a poison necro. Poison necros are not as fcr reliant as bone necros, as their main attack isn't fcr reliant at all.
