Trang-Oul's Avatar is an Item Set used most often by the Necromancer in Diablo II.

Background

Trang'Oul is a dragon-god, hence some of the items being named after parts of his body (wings, claws, scales). He is meant to be responsible for maintaining "the balance" of Sanctuary and tasked first his disciple Rathma, and then Rathma's progeny (the Necromancers) in helping him with his task.

General Notes

Trang-Oul's Avatar is designed for a necromancer, with a class specific shield, armor, helm, belt and gloves. This set overall gives many good bonuses. V1.10 added a nifty bonus to wearing this full set: the character transforms into a Vampire Lord.

* Inherent Bonus information for Class Specific items can be found here.

• Item level (ilvl): Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item.
• Character level (clvl): The character level you need to be to be able to wear or equip the item.
• Hidden bonuses stack together. For instance, if an item has a bonus for two items and a bonus for three items, and three items are worn, both the bonus for two items and for three items will become active.
• It is possible to gamble Set and Unique items in v1.09+. The odds are roughly 1/1000 for Set items and 1/2000 for Unique items.
• Items with Rarity are expressed as a chance out of 1000. IE 78/1000 would mean that out of every 1000 set items of that base item that drop, 78 of them will be this particular one.
  
  

Armor Notes

• Light Armor: 0% stamina drain and speed penalty.
• Medium Armor: +50% stamina drain and 5% speed penalty.
• Heavy Armor: +100% stamina drain and 10% speed penalty.
  
  

Shield Notes

• Shield Blocking information can be found on the shields page.
• Smite damage is for the Paladin only.
• Weight: All shields are light, medium, or heavy. In Diablo II this only matters for tower shields, which slow your running speed and increase stamina drain 10%. In D2X it will probably effect blocking speed as well as running speed.
• shael rune doesn't improve blocking ability

Set Bonuses

Partial set bonuses stack. If you are wearing three items, then you will get the bonus for wearing two items as well as the bonus for wearing three items. Full set bonuses stack on top of the partial bonuses, so if there is a partial bonus of +40 Life, and a full bonus of +40 Mana, with the complete set, you would receive both +40 life and +40 mana.

• *For the sorceress these skills are capped at +3 as they are native to that class.

Development

Trang-Oul's Avatar was introduced in Patch 1.10 together with a host of other Item Sets. Significant changes to the game made some item sets less useful and others more so. Runewords became the over-all long-term gear goal for players, taking some shine away from item sets.
