Max dex is about two procs per minute. With a Staff of the Falling Stars it’s 13 dps, for Undead Legions it’s 19’ish. With a Fesh staff and a very lucky 5ppm it’s 33dps. That’s basically just stacking your top darkness and fire dot.

If my caster had a Fesh club I’d use and enjoy the hell out of it. I just wouldn’t lose track of more important tasks it rely on it as my “build”.

What’s more important than beating the hell out of something as a caster?

Some level 58 boneknighting

With a bit of fear kiting and root rotting for extra flavor.

I love all of your videos, they are so cool! keep it up!

As a necro you're my hero for soloing in Plane of Fear, I definitely want to try the same one day.. just afraid of losing my corpse up there

You can just petition your corpse. Plus , you're just killing blue mobs, you can do it , I believe in you

Aww thanks!

Of all my vids, I hate the “Fear” vid the most lol. Mostly, because I now know how to do things with much less headache. Corpse retrievals are, surprisingly, not that bad if you are prepared. Was able to get most of them with invis and /corpse but I would still corpse coffins just in case. Bring a pile of EEs. Breaking in is the worst part imo.

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.

I think the original bone knight incorporated the Staff of Writhing as a bone-themed gimmick, but I grew fond of that janky staff during the leveling process. Proc staves are not necessary, but even the bad ones (like Staff of Writhing) can interrupt casters and find some use. I'm sure you could lean in further with a Velium Crystal Staff, but I think your choice of weapon is also valid.

You'll just miss out on procs, which would be a shame with all that dexterity gnomes can get. I think I'm rolling with 180 dexterity unbuffed on my 54 bone knight.

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
