Diablo 2 – How to transform your weak pale skinned necro into Trang Oul’s vampire in Diablo 2 Part 1
The Avatar of Trang-Oul is a 5-piece set designed to be worn by a Necromancer. However, any class can use the helmet, body armor, gloves, and belt, but only a Necromancer can use the class-specific Shield. Unlike other sets, each individual item in the Avatar of Trang-Oul is decent and offers relatively good bonuses.
These are the five elements and their individual analysis in the whole:
Note: The partial bonuses for each item are listed multiple times because you get a partial bonus for every other item in the set. For example, with Trang-Oul’s scales, you receive + 50% lightning resistance if you have two other items in the set. If you have the entire set activated, Trang-Oul’s scales grant you 25% resistance to physical damage.
Trang-Oul Costume (Bone Face Set)
Defense: 180-257
Minimum force: 106
Level requirement: 65
25% faster shock recovery
Replenish Life +5
+ 80-100 Defense
+150 Mana
Attacker takes 20 damage
Analysis: one of the weakest elements of the set. It adds a good boost to characters using Mana, but after Level 65, you shouldn’t have a problem with Mana. The 25% Faster Hit Recovery mod is good, but its biggest drawback is that it lacks resistance improvements.
Trang-Oul Scales (Set Chaos Armor)
Defense: 857
Minimum force: 84
Level requirement: 49
+ 150% Enhanced Defense
Requirements -40%
40% faster running / walking
Poison Resistance + 40%
+100 Defense vs. Missile
+2 to summoning skills (necromancer only)
Lightning Resistance + 50% (3 items)
Damage reduced by 25% (full set)
Analysis: Chaos Armor generally has a very high strength requirement, but the -40% Requirements mod makes this armor more accessible. 40% faster run / walk is rare in bulletproof vests, but pair it with a nice pair of boots that have a nice run / walk faster bonus and you’ll be flying around the place. Add to that a very nice + 40% Poison Resistance and +100 Defense vs. Missile, and you have decent armor. Use two other items and you even get a whopping + 50% Lightning Resistance.
