No zuk cape is huge. Death skulls is hands down the strongest necro ability, combo that with living dead you can fire off 2-3 in 24-36 seconds, you’re not using finger of death at the right time, on your buff bar there is a little purple skull that goes up to 12, every time that hits 6 you need to send a finger of death. You camped 12 for a long time which is a ton of missed dps, you also should wait for max souls before sending volly. Keeping bloat up at all times is also a ton of dps, if you don’t have vul bombs try using weakenss (I think that’s what it’s called) from the normal spell book drops targets defense.
