[2.6] The Death Knight, melee witch that delivers pain <Guardians+Shaper videos>

Im wondering how this would work with Reave. I would assume everything would still work Reave.

You can make it work with Reave if you prefer.
With the gear I was using, I had around 58k Blade Flurry tooltip fully buffed, which was also almost exactly what Path of Building predicted.
Path of Building is usually very precise in those calculations, plugging 20/20 gems with Reave would yield 601k Reave tooltip dps fully buffed, or 228k with just auras on in the hideout (with gear I had before I started selling it ;D).

Reave is an inferior option, but that does not mean it wouldn't work.
Multistrike/Melee Phys/Melee on Full life/Critical Strikes/Poison seems to be best gem combination.
I forgot that Conc Effect does work with Reave :)
That would be 680k dps fully buffed and 259k in hideout (with Conc).
Exact same gems used as in Blade Flurry setup - Multistrike gives more dps then Critical Strikes, but difference is small and you are better off moving out of the way of danger sooner rather then channeling 2 more attacks. It can be a difference between life and death :)
Also, 3R 2G 1B is much harder to roll then 2/2/2.

How is it inferior if it has higher dps?
Hmm I think conc effect does work, Ive been using it for bosses and its working fine.
I dont think I'll be using poison in my set up, want to use voidheart
Blade Flurry tooltip dps isn't accurate at all. It shows average hit damage, not including 20% more damage you get per each stage, and doesn't calculate dps including attack speed.
With near perfect channeling, Blade Flurry achieves almost 3 times the dps of Reave.

Ah thats pretty cool, didnt know that.
Ive also thought about it, ive changed my mind on Reave, I'll probabky make a reave character another time.
I, i was looking to make this kind of build since necro was released, but i lack knowlege in this game, ty for posting it.
Just a question: is possible to use ghost blade as main attack?
may be someone asked this before, but i was too lazy to scroll 5 pages of comments... :p

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "ghost blade". Do you mean Spectral Throw by any chance?

I believe that yes, it could be done, but I've never played such a build myself so I don't know about any changes to the passive tree or items.

Either way this build is officially dead in 3.0, as poison is nerfed, ES is nerfed, and instant leech won't work with it.
If you want to make this build work, you have to do it before the 3.0 arrives, or try out my other build, which can work for the Necromancer, but it's more suited for Occultist/Assassin/Raider/Berserker.

Just keep in mind that melee Necromancer only worked because of double dipping, with it gone its one of the weaker ascendancies for an attack build. Still, it has a really good survivability with free block.

I know it might be a but sad for all the Death Knights who enjoyed the build, but more then likely you are better off playing something else since legacy is almost finished. 3.0 doesn't nerf, it simply guts poison based damage, and it's just around the corner.

If you really are into the whole Death Knight vibe, you might simply swap poison gem for brutality, get grace instead of hatred and path somehow into scion life wheel to get life nodes. Maybe even drop one scourge claw for a stat stick. However, that would be a different build with completely different tree.

Alternatively, you can try necromancer version of my second build, link in my signature :)
