Forty Keks.9620 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 as the title says, what do you guys think is the best necro build for running mad king's labyrinth? I would assume staff and wells but i'm not an experienced necro player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Depends on if you plan on fighting the bosses or not. For door events, that is a good setup. Reaper is also quite good for those, as you can basically sit in Shroud the entire time autoing to tag mobs. Lich in particular, you want as much corruption as you can fit on. His Retaliation slaughters entire armies, dealing ~820 damage per hit. Ideally, you use Axe against him, as it has AoE corruption, but otherwise doesn't risk hitting the retaliation-loaded minions he spawns that you don't manage to strip.

Taygus.4571 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Depends on whether you zerg or solo. I think staff is supposed to be good for tagging in zergs. Solo for me, gets on average 250 ToT bags an hour. I don't know know if thats good or bad. What i do know is that I get very little in zergs because mobs just melt too fast. I mainly use greatsword. I'm using fractal build (traits, gear) .. Utility skills I'm using, "spectral grasp" to pull mobs, "You are weaklings" for the might "spectral walk" to get around faster. Mobs melt. I don't fight the bosses solo of course..but they're not worth farming. Be aware that Magic Find affects how many bags you'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimon.7840 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Best way to tagging In groups? -thief with shortbow -engi with flamethrower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuselah.4376 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I am using my full plaguedoctor support scourge for Lab. It's quite amazing, especially for mob doors where your 10 man shade tags so much. And staff of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxnecroxx.4039 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 pick a different class, that is your best option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you pick a different forum and stop visiting here then if all you are gonna do is moan and post nonconstructive comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZDragon.3046 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 reaper is good for bossing scourge is good for tagging That said necromancer is slow. if your zerg is moving fast i dont really recommend necro Necro of any kind wont be good at tagging unless you are at the front or slightly ahead of the zerg. Being 10-15 steps behind the commander depending on how big the zerg is and your tag attempts wont count. You need to do so much damage to a mob for it to count I generally dont run necro through lab for tagg/zerg/farming For bossing/doors at least though i mean you cant go wrong. If your group is on the move a lot i recommend thief (Daredevil with dash) with short bow and staff or core theif with short-bow and dagger/dagger, take as much bouncing stuff and aoe stuff as you can Dagger storm etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Keks.9620 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 after much trial i have determined that the most effective build for bag farming is to use as many well abilities and staff abilities as possible. that's assuming you're running in a zerg and not soloing.

"slow moving" is not the hindrance it once was. In alot of cases once you get in combat it can be rough to get out of combat which results in you missing alot of kills while trying to mount up. Its better just to have higher mobility and stay at the front of the group then to try and just mount every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just equip a sigil of speed on each weapon set- a lot of LFG's specify no mounts (you get kicked if u use the engage skill) and good luck tagging without squad participation.
