Op necro build : shield on skeletons summon that reduce 80% of incoming damage for 3 attacks + Dual bladed skeletons + critical hit give unlimited cleeve on melee hit + burning enemie can explode on impact.

Borderline braindead, but relly on RNG for crits.

combine with witch hunter captain on your team for maximum fun value

CDR on Elite kills + barrow blades lets any combination of talents thereafter become an afterthought. Honestly reaper and crowbill have been my go tos, but straight is also fire. Pun intended.

blood curse and fire skeleton, easy win

I would go totally the other way.
80% reduction does nothing for dmg and it gets triggered by friendly fire. Cooldown reduction is still the best option in that line.
For level 30, the charge talent for the pets is great. You can spam the charge attack all day and it does good dmg and extremely high stagger. Use the campfire staff and order your pets to fight. It works great together. You dont even have to go into melee to get the green circle at the end.
Scythe is a brutal melee weapon and probably the best, but should you be forced to block an attack, you will get stunned for a moment. That is the reason, i use the dagger.

She can literally be anything from front liner, crowd control, dedicated ranger to boss killer, often being able to mix two of these in a build.

Dagger is fine with this build, but the 80% reduced damage is the go to for this build, one of the best talent in the game imo.

for from it FF takes stacks

I do scythe which I'm not confident is the best weapon but heavy only combos are great
Corpsemaker because hitting multiple enemies is easy with that
Reaping - because unlimited cleave on crits on a bunch of armoured enemies is the most satisfying thing you can do
I did enhanced power, can't remember why
Soul Harvest - plays into reaping. It builds up fast.
Curse of the Undeath because its OP, it's easy to not get hit 3 times between cooldowns so it's like a perma 80% mitigation. Dunno why the other two would ever be used. Maybe the cooldown on killing elites but the cooldowns fast enough already.
Barrow Blades, because ignited enemies = more souls from soul harvest for easy crits which ties into reaping. This makes it so you don't have to ever use light attacks to apply burn, or staff. I save the staff heat for the necromancer charged staff attack, since it locks assassins and many enemies in place, and a good teammate (or bot, bardin with rifle is pretty good at it) can then just finish them off before it completes saving the large heat chunk. Auto lockon is great for assassins.

Since I use scythe I put everything I can into attack speed and crit chance. Health as well. Everything else is whatever, think I probably did movement speed and chaos damage.

As much as I think opportunist is the best out of them all, I did swift slaying because it again ties into crits and the scythe really needs the attack speed.

It depends on the build you want. If you like to play like me, to stay behind and command my pets, with a lot of staff action. I need to eat my pets to cool down and to kill many elites let me use more of my pet snack ability.
Sure. If you dont eat your pets, you can pick dmg reduction.
Or just play CW and get both.
