Necro Bone Knight - Upper Limit?

[PestilentCancer]

The big problem is, because of low weapon skills and such, necros have a hard time landing melee hits. Especially, as they get higher in levels. You can still proc on a miss, however. I used Sarnak Liberator from level 20 to the mid 50s, when I could afford a Velium Crystal Staff, and it hit for, literally, no melee damage. The proc did great between lifetaps, alongside vamp embrace.

Sarnak Liberator looks like a good option for fashionquest alone. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Just curious, but are proc weapons necessary for this kind of play? Every guide mentions proc weapons, but until things like the Staff of Undead Legions, the damage from the proc seems negated by the awful weapon damage. I'm currently using a Di'Zok Sceptre of Authority and the 10/20 ratio and 10AC seem better than a mediocre proc at this point.

The entire meme of this build is face tanking (for no reason) and stacking dex to proc stuff (because of you're already auto attacking you may as well)

Outside of proccing some weapon there will never be a reason for you to auto attack as a necro. You will not do respectable damage with any weapon that is obtainable in this game
