Krysbin's Sentence

"Eternal Torment", "Spreading Maldiction" or "Rathma's Shield" in the Hellfire Amulet. Preferebly "Eternal Torment" i think so you got more uptime on "Aquilla Curiass" dmg reduction. Dont throw down as much curses as you are used to so you dont fall under that 90% resource and drop the dmg reduction buff. You can survive but you will take dmg a lot more dmg. You dont rly realy on it as much as in other builds but its a thing to count on and have in mind.

Paragon Priorities

Core

Maximum Resource

Primary Stat

Life
Armor
Resist All
Life Regeneration

Utility

Area Damage
Resource Cost Reduction
Life on Hit
Gold Find

Resource (Essence) is the most important stat ever when useing the "Reilena's Shadowhook" this even on main Weapon and Off-hand. Cdr is very important stat after that then CHD as you always get 100% CHC with Brittle Touch so you dont need any of that.

Build Guide

Idéas, making and testing:

Hybrid between the Trag'oul Corpse Lance and the pestilence Corpse Lance. We all love the pestilence Corpse Lance build that have toped the leader boards for a long time now. This is my attemt to make something new but with old build and as the necro only got the trag'ouls buffed after the patch 2.6.4. I wanted to make Corpse Lance still be a thing but with some buffs and on top of that we have never had a necro LON build. It feels a lot like the Trag'oul Corpse Lance as you dont have the pestilence two piece to clear the whole screen but you still have the extreme crits that the pestilance provide with the Brittle Touch rune on Corpse Lance. Some things that I worry about are that the dmg is not enough becuse there are no room for eather endless walk set or the "COE" but the dmg increase from LON will be enough. With some pushing and optimization and gearing i hope this will be a build of 100+ gr. I have personaly Pushed and cleared a gr 90 with 1000 para no augs but 13 ancient wich is no enough in this time of Diablo 3 but i don't have the right items in the right spots or even a aquilla in the cube. So i will chare this here in hope that someone sees it and will try and perfect it as i will during seasons to come.

Playstyle:

It feel almost exactly like Trag'ouls Corpse Lance but with more dmg and a but tankier but not with the same healing as that build has. It will be incredibly hard to gear towords as with all lon builds but
