Curse

Hi,

I recently bought out my necro, which was not getting much play, and decided to put some hours into him, i usally play curses and every once in a while blood, but mostly curses, i would like to know form the true curse necro pros out there witch is the best curse necro staff out there.

Stonereaper hands down

My vote is with Modti's Depravation, as far as green staves go anyway. I find Necros really benefit from the double HCT mods.

A 40/40 wand/focus set would probably be better for general use though.

the best curse staff is a 1 hand weapon with 20/20 paired with a focus that gives 20/20...just hold them close together and pretend it's a long staff :P

As mentioned above, the 40/40 set is the most effective way to go overall.

Adept with "Aptitude not Attitude" inscription - 20/20/20 lets you fire off more spells faster for greater overall effect.

The wrapping is up to you - +30 health or +5 defense for extra survivability are my favoured ones.

Of course, wand/artifact is even better as said - dual 20/20 sets allow even mire spells cast.

i use a wand but i like staffs on necs for class.

Kaolin curse staff is sexy

I use a Charr 40/20 +30hp BMP staff most of the time and do switch to a 40/40 but rarely.

Yup, I have Modti's Depravation for double HCT. It helps cos all the good stuff are 2 second casts.

Trvth Jvstice · Feb 15, 2008, 05:40 AM // 05:40

I use a Wailing Wand-Halves skill recharge of curses spells-chance 20% energy +5 and a Bone Idol-energy +12, energy +15, energy regen -1, health +20--My energy is 58. My 15 in Soul Reaping easily offsets the -1 energy degen.

40/40 set is probably the most ideal for a curses necro unless you have party enchants like a blood rit or taint. then I'd run a 40/40 set on one slot, and a 40fc/20rc/20ench staff on the other slot.

Trelliz · Feb 20, 2008, 10:47 AM // 10:47

I use a Hale Destroyer Curses Staff of Mastery with Aptitude not Attitude inscription, so i get
HCT/HSR 20/20
HP+30
Curses +1 20

does alright for me.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Feb 20, 2008, 08:17 PM // 20:17

what i find is in PVE it doesn't really ever matter about it but in PvP wand and off hand are almost a must if you ask me

boogerboy72 · Feb 21, 2008, 04:04 AM // 04:04

use a 40/20 with the +20 enchant. yes, theres a reason for the enchant.

Marverick · Feb 21, 2008, 02:57 PM // 14:57

use a swap set for enchant, not your main set

You never want to be sitting in a -1 energy degen set for regular play no matter what. It's just asking to gimp yourself. Go with a 40/40 set for most ease.

i would agree,with a -1 your just making yourself a squishy target if mobs arent dying fast enough.

stonereaper and modtis depravation are to curses like ghials staff is to death

love at first sight

Yep. That's fav. to use. I got Stonereaper too, but I always wind up going back to Modti's.
