PD2 Season 10 Closed Beta - Poison Strike Melee Necro Sneak Peek

[@o0kv9]

Loving your videos. Thanks for the testing for the community!

I played 20 years ago. Poison strike?? I only knew poison dagger.

[@grimj7887]

PD2 has alot of changes from the base game

[@zachreisz9654]

I prefer venom in a 3 poison strike kris. The runeword gives 3 poison strike oskill to necro as well. The poison pierce is 20-30 added to the skills built in pierce plus three piece Trang with shield you can hit close to 100 poison pierce.

[@valerienev602]

Pretty cool build. How about adding Energy? Or the synergy for bone shield is not that good in comparison with health gained by Vit? Necros do gain least HP per vit right so got me wonder for the Energy...

[@zachb8012]

Does the 35 bone armor cast on hit override your current level in bone armor? Could you technically just put the points elsewhere and rely on the onhit effect?

[@grimj7887]

It should override the cast, but the thing is Bone armor is synergy, so when you dont put points into it you lose damage. otherwise i would love to put points elsewhere.

@@grimj7887 That... that sucks. I'm totally gonna try to run this next season though.

Are skillers better than %psn large charms? also would the plague with posion nova cast and lower resist be a better weapon option?

[@o0kv9]

Skillers are definitely the way to go, due to Bramble and Trang gloves already giving insane %psn damage. Plague is underwhelming bait, poison nova cast on striking doesnt do anything because poison dagger clouds take priority from the much bigger damage (Poison damage only applies from the larger poison hit - in our case poison dagger clouds). Lower resist from plague is also only when struck - which u dont want to be at any point.

@@o0kv9 what about in large packs is there benifit on the nova hitting some of the far our mobs and helping to finish the stragglers. Since its a fully synergized nova?

[@o0kv9]

@@sergdor2 the proc rate of nova on striking isn’t high enough IMO. Unless u use innocence runeword as well. In that case better to just focus on a proc nova on striking build haha. For poison dagger - u play like a plague Amazon. U hit dagger, then kite and run until all the mobs are in the clouds. U don’t spam attack with poison dagger. It’s hit and run/tele gameplay.

[@sergdor2]

@@o0kv9thanks for all the info. im looking to run psn dagger this season and it looks like a blast

[@o0kv9]

Casting desecrate as a ranged option incredibly underwhelming due to not being fully synergized by hard points in poison nova. just fyi. better to just use dagger. Your descecrate does insane damage however due to ur insane gear .(Bramble especially)

[@hedduyou]

compared to most pd2 builds i see this looks reaaallllllyyyy slow
