Necro/Pain love?

[irishhawk]

Any really effective Necromancy / Pain Domination builds that involve the sorcery power pool?

[Force Redux]

Not a combo I've made myself, sorry. With pain and sorcery you really want recharge. Leadership pool is highly recommended. I'd pick up Heat mastery as a PP for Bonfire to add crowd control for the pets safety. Just some quick thoughts.

Not really any love for it outside of thematics; as a whole, youre only getting around 65% resistance on a pure-resistance pet set. That being said, I did throw together some hodgepodge for some ideas for you; you yourself should end up pretty good here, as youll have perma World of Pain (and youre nearly capped anyways on S/L) with decent (35%) melee defense. You'll also have a full attack chain full of procs, so you don't have to rely on the pets alone to do damage. I wasnt sure what you actually wanted out of Sorcery, so I just did whatever there, but youll also have RoP for oh-sh moments. I wouldnt leave home without Ageless though. It takes a special mindset to play fire pp though (not that I disagree with fire for zombies, as thats what my favorite necro build is)
