most useful necklace

I've been seeing a lot about the Marrowtaint and the Jewel of Fallhaven, when they are actually items that I don't really use much. Just wondered how many others prefer other necklaces/amulets.

I love defense and damage resistence, but come on, this is easily the Marrowtaint.

Got to be Marrowtaint at least until something even better is introduced.

I think, the marrowtaint is the best necklace so far because of -1 AP boost and AD and BC boost.
But I'm actually not using it because I think, siding with Remgard has the most benetfit. It just depends on the reward ! ;)

I think the first option should be revised to read "JoF/Marrowtaint" since the main benefit of each is the -1 AP for attack cost, or you need a separate entry for JoF. The additional benefits of Marrowtaint are nice, but nothing you can't get from a few level ups, so I felt I was better off siding with Remgard.

If there were no -1 AP necklaces, I would probably use the Necklace of Strike since I'm mostly going for a critical hit build. Imagine if there were a -1AP necklace that also added to critical hit skill, but that would probably be too powerful.

Easy question! Always the Marrowtaint or Jewel of Fallhaven

Why?

More swings = more chances to deal damage

If there wasn't -1 AP cost items:

I'd go with the Necklace of the Protector (2 DR)

I voted Irogotu's necklace. Not that any of my builds use it now, but they all have used it when they were at level 5-15.
I think I could manage without the -1 AP from the JoF or Marrowtaint, but I wouldn't know what to do without the Irogotu/hardened leather combo in the meat grinding levels...actually eating the meat, to heal?? That would slow the early levelling down beyond the boredom point, I fear...

+1 Irogotu's Necklace is an under rated necklace. It is definitely one that I use on most of my builds early on in the game. It makes a world of difference in getting the money needed to upgrade your equipment and eventually adventuring out farther for better rewards.

Pyrizzle,

I don't disagree, but to vote for the Irogotu necklace is shocking.
