About Necromancers

Necromancers are followers of forbidden black magic. They control skeletons and all other evil spirits, for which many dislike them. And some even take them for their enemies. But those who become allies of these magicians, as a rule, do not regret the choice: after all, they are under the protection of a whole retinue. The necromancer is one of the most "lazy" characters: after all, recruits do everything for him! Although there are other dark magicians: they do not play with skeletons, they poison everyone they can with deadly poisons. They are afraid to deal with necromancers, because they can curse so much that they ruin their whole life.

The Necromancer is a lover of dark magic, curses and poisons, who is squeamish about fighting himself, and instead uses minions.

Best Necromancer Build - Diablo 2: Resurrected Summoner

As mentioned earlier, your undead skeletons will carry you through every action. Appeal - your main skill at the beginning of the game. Focus your points on this ability until you can summon up to 12 skeletons at once. Skeleton Mastery as important for upgrading as it permanently increases the life and damage of your undead army. To diversify your undead army, add points to Clay Golem, to tank some damage for you.

After your summoned minions have killed a few enemies, use Corpse Explosion on a killed enemy to deal area damage to all nearby enemies. This skill may not be impressive initially, but it becomes one of the best direct damage skills later on and is extremely effective on harder difficulty levels. Also worth using Decrepify, to curse a group of enemies, slowing them down and increasing the damage they take.

Summoner stat boost

Stat points for assembling the Summoner are extremely simple - increase your strength up to 26, to own certain items, and reset the rest of your points to vitality . The Necromancer does not have the strongest armor, and if the enemies break through your army, you will need a lot of health to protect against incoming attacks. You may choose not to invest stat points into Agility and Energy, as the Necromancer doesn't need any of those stats.

Skill leveling

Here are all the skills you need to level up the Diablo 2 Resurrected Summoner build:

• Raise the skeleton - 20.
• Skeleton Mastery - 20.
• Corpse Explosion - 20.
• clay golem - 10.
• revive - 10.
• Golem Mastery - 8.
• Conscription Resistance - 1.

• Let loose - 1.

• less resistance - 1.
• Iron Maiden - 1.
• life tap - 1.

Equipment for the Summoner

• Weapon - Berserker Ax with Runic Beast (Ber, Tyr, Um, Mal and Lum)
• Shield — Monarch armed with a runic word of Spirit (Tal, Tul, Ort and Amn)
• Helmet - Harlequin Coat of Arms (Shaco)
• Armor - Magic plate with the runic word Enigma (runes Jah, Ith and Ber)
• Belt - Arachnid Mesh (web sash)
• Rings - Stone of Jordan and Wedding Ring of Bul-Kathos

All of this equipment increases the survivability and damage of the Necromancer's army through stat buffs, additional skills, and higher casting speed. One of the most important buffs comes from the Beast rune word. This grants the Necromancer a level 9 Zealotry aura, a skill that is usually exclusive to a Paladin. Zealotry imbues your entire party with an offensive aura, drastically increasing damage, attack speed, and attack rating.

Mercenary Summoner

We are specifically looking for an offensive mercenary to give our party the Paladin: Might Aura skill. You can expand these buffs using the equipment below to give your minions additional offensive auras.

• Weapon - Reaper (Thresher) with rune Om

Diablo 2: Necromancer - Summoning

Minions such as Golems, Skeletons, Skeleton Mages, Animated Monsters can disappear if they get too far away from you. Turn on the minimap to make sure they are near you. You can use the Town Portal, dungeon/crypt entrances or waypoints to put them together. Sometimes minions will appear near you if they are too far away, although this may not happen, and then they will simply disappear.

Some people can't calculate minion health correctly. Base life is calculated first, and only then the bonus from Skeleton Mastery is added.

Also, the Teleport skill is considered incredibly useful, because it allows you to quickly gather all the conscripts together. You can buy a staff with teleport charges and swap it (as a second weapon). Fast switching between weapons - W key. You can also collect the Enigma runeword, but it is incredibly expensive. Also, in the game you can find rings / amulets with teleport charges, but finding them is very difficult. So the easiest option is to buy a staff. With the help of Teleport, it will become much easier to keep monsters near you.

Golems

At the same time, you can only one golem. If you call a new golem, the old one will immediately disappear.

You don't need a corpse to summon a golem (although you do need an iron item to summon an Iron Golem).

All golems, with the exception of the Iron golem, have a fixed defense.

Golems' health and damage increase when going to Nightmare/Hell difficulties.

If you summon a golem next to a monster (for example, a boss), then the monster will start attacking the golem and forget about its previous target (!)

This way, you can just continuously summon golems when attacking bosses. And for constant challenges, Clay Golem and Fire golem are suitable. After all, Iron golem requires a thing to summon, and Blood Golem spends your health. But Fire golem spends a lot of mana, because. when called, it deals damage, and the old Fire golem explodes (although this will be irrelevant on Hell difficulty). So it's best to use Clay golem or Fire golem to call.

Skeletons and Skeleton Mages

The number of skeletons and skeleton mages you can have is limited only by the number of skill points. So wearing magic items or using altars that have the +skills property will increase the number of skeletons you have and the skeleton magicians you can summon. As soon as the effect from the altar ends, the skeletons or skeleton magicians that were summoned due to the increase from it will disappear.

The lives of skeletons and skeleton magicians increase when moving to Nightmare/Hell difficulties

The attack rating of golems, skeletons and skeleton mages does not change, however, it depends on the level of the caster, and this level plays an important role in calculating the Attack rating.

Skills

Raise Skeleton Level Required: 1 Requirements: No

Used on a monster corpse. Summons a Skeleton Warrior to fight by your side until it is killed.

Skeletons thrive on Normal difficulty, especially if they get the bonus from Skeleton mastery. However, when you go to Nightmare/Hell difficulties, they will die very quickly. Once you reach level 30, you can pump in the revive skill and stop using skeletons. Although, if you level up the raise skeleton and skeleton mastery skills, hire an act 2 mercenary and use curses, then skeletons can be used on Nightmare/Hell difficulties as well.

When a skeleton is summoned, it has a 5% chance to spawn with a shield. Although, a skeleton with a shield only has a 3% chance to block, so it's not a huge advantage.

Golem Mastery Required level: 12 Requirements: Clay Golem [6]

Passive Effect: Golem mastery adds life (HP) to the golem's base life value, and not to the value specified in the Golem Summon skill itself. Clay Golem: 100 HP, Blood Golem: 201 HP, Iron Golem: 306, Fire Golem: 328.

Before investing a lot of points in this skill, pay attention to the golem's movement speed (things with +skills should be taken into account). If he moves at the same speed as you (or even faster), then no more skill points should be invested in this skill. But the golem may fall behind you if you are wearing Faster Run/Walk items. Also, thanks to the speed bonus, the golem will be able to reach its target faster. Although, if he does not lag behind you, then you do not need to invest additional points in this skill.

Thanks to the increase in lives, golems can live longer when they are attacked by monsters. Although, if the golem dies, then nothing will stop you from summoning a new one. If the golem dies infrequently, manages to run after you and mana is not a problem for you, then invest additional points in this skill not worth it.

Skeletal Mage Required level: 12 Requirements: Raise Skeleton [1]

Summons a Skeleton Mage to fight by your side using elemental magic (Fire, Cold, Lightning, or Poison). You need a corpse to call.

• The type of element that the mage will attack with is chosen randomly when summoned. However, you can summon skeletons until those who have the right element appear. Skeleton mages have high resistance to magic, and especially to the element they attack with.
• Skeleton mages are useful on all difficulties. At a minimum, they distract the monsters to themselves. And this is good: after all, it will be better for you if the monsters attack them, and not you. In addition, monsters will take damage (and kill themselves) due to Iron Maiden.
• Skeleton mages are quite useful when you enter the game. For those necromancers who specialize in revive, the goal will be to revive enough monsters so that they can fight normally without the risk of dying. First you need to create a golem and kill the monsters yourself in order to create the necessary corpses in order to revive them in the future (curses help a lot with this). If the monster cannot be revived, then summon a skeleton mage from this corpse. Next, cast iron maiden on the monsters. When attacking Skeleton Mages, monsters will take their damage back (and greatly increased), and die, leaving corpses for Revive or Skeletal mage to use. Skeleton mages are very useful in this situation, especially in Outer Steppes.
• The cold damage dealt by Skeleton Mages can interfere with a comfortable game. After all, if the monster is frozen, then it may not leave a corpse, which is used for Corpse Explosion and for summoning skeletons / skeleton magicians or Revive monsters. However, cold damage is very useful if you don't need to leave corpses. If you see a skeleton magician with an element that you do not need, then you can simply kill him (unsummon) and summon a new one.
• Skeleton Mastery increases the damage dealt by Skeleton Mages.

Base health of skeletal mages: Normal - 61, Nightmare - 88, Hell - 123.

Level:	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Number of Skeleton Mages	1	2	3	3	3	4	4	4	5	5

If the levels of skeleton Mastery Raise and skeletal mage are greater than 20, then use the following formula to calculate the relative level:

('skeleton mastery'.lvl)+(('Raise skeletal mage' .lvl-2):2)

This means: Substitute the skeleton mastery and Raise skeletal mage skill levels into the formula. Note: Raise skeletal mage must be level 4 or higher in order to calculate the relative level with this formula. If the raise skeletal mage level is 3 or less, then the relative level is equal to the level of the skeleton mastery skill.

So, if the levels of skeleton mastery and Raise skeletal mage are 40, then the relative level is calculated as follows:

40-((40-2):2)=59

Blood Golem Required level: 18 Requirements: Clay Golem [6]

Summons a blood golem. The golem will steal health from enemies, and transfer some of the stolen health to the necromancer.

• The health taken by the Blood golem depends entirely on its attack, and is independent of the monster's health. Also, if there are Thorns and Iron Maiden on the monsters, the stolen health will still depend only on his attack, and not on the damage that the enemy inflicted on himself.
• Lives stolen from the enemy not deductible from his health.
• The golem gets 70% of the stolen life, and the necromancer 30%. If the golem's current life + stolen lives is greater than its maximum life, then the excess will go to the necromancer.

Revive Required level: 30 Requirements: Raise Skeleton [1], Clay Golem [6], Raise Skeletal Mage [12], Blood Golem [18], Iron Golem [24]

Resurrects a monster to fight by your side.

• While Skeletons and Skeleton Mages are great in the beginning, revive monsters are the ultimate summons (not counting golems). As soon as an enemy's corpse appears, revive it and the monster will resurrect with additional health and fight for you. Soon, the enemies will be in the minority: after all, you will revive more and more monsters, and they will make more and more corpses. You can increase the health and damage of monsters by investing skillpoints in skeleton mastery. Also, you can increase their magic resistance by investing skillpoints in summon resist.
• Animated monsters will be able to use all their abilities, however, they will not be able to revive other monsters. Some monsters have special abilities: Lightning, Fire Ball, Meteor, Blizzard, etc. Once revived, they will use these abilities against former allies.
• Animated monsters will be affected by allied auras and any friendly spells that will increase their power.
• You may notice that animated monsters are much more stupid than other summons. They often scatter around the area and it's often difficult to put them together. Although, their abilities outweigh their stupidity, so it makes sense to use them.
• You cannot revive bosses (Diablo, Andanriel, etc.), super-unique bosses (Rakanishu, Nihlatak, etc.), Leapers, Undead Mages, and a number of other monsters. If you cannot select a corpse to revive, then this monster cannot be revived.
• If the monsters move too far away from you, they will simply disappear. So it's best to keep an eye on them by turning on the minimap. Sometimes it's worth waiting for them to catch up with you, although this is not always possible (enemies are on the alert!). If large groups of monsters have begun to disappear, then you have most likely moved away from them too far. Also remember that animated monsters live only 3 minutes.
• If you are not satisfied with the monsters found in the area you are playing in, then go to another area and revive the monsters living there. Next, return with the acquired retinue back to the desired area. This is very useful when you go to kill a boss, or when the monsters you have revived are very good against the enemies encountered in this location.
• Choose the best monsters to revive. In cases where it is difficult to lead a crowd of conscripts, revive flying monsters such as Wraith or Finger Mages. Monsters like Abyss Knights, Willowisps are incredibly effective, so you can revive them (or other monsters you like).
• Before investing a lot of skillpoints in Revive, see how many monsters you can have at the same time. Add a point and see if you can hold on to max monsters when you play. If not, then it's not worth investing more points in Revive. For each skillpoint invested in Revive, you gain one +1 to the maximum number of monsters you can revive.

Do animated monsters remain at the mercy of the necromancer until they die?
Yes, but they die 3 minutes after being revived.

Mana cost: 45 (does not increase with skill)
Health: +200% of the initial health of monsters.
Duration: 180 seconds.

Diablo 2: Necromancer - Poison and Bone

Poison Damage

In this article, skills record total poison damage, not poison damage per second.

Bone Spear vs. bone spirit

Bone Spear hits multiple enemies in a row (Pierce effect), so it's very good to use against multiple enemies. At high levels, Bone Spirit deals more damage than Bone Spear, however, Bone Spirit can only hit one enemy at a time. Bone Spirit is easier to use because it chases the enemy. However, Bone Spirit only attacks the monster it's targeting, and therefore you can't "Shoot" monsters that are out of line of sight, unlike Bone Spear. If you want to kill enemies in droves, use Bone Spear. If you want to help golems and conscripts in battle use Bone Spirit. Because of the synergy system, it becomes less important to use one of these skills: after all, they give bonuses to each other.

bone spear:

1. Deals half damage, costs half mana, attacks multiple targets at once (compared to Bone Spirit).
2. It is possible not to aim at the enemy: to attack, it is enough to indicate only the direction of the throw.
3. At high levels (40+) can overtake Bone Spirit in terms of damage.
4. Rarely used in PvP.
5. Almost useless in the last acts on Hell difficulty.

Bone Spirit:

1. Deals double damage, costs twice as much mana, only attacks 2 target at a time (compared to Bone Spear).
2. Easier to attack monsters.
3. When attacking enemies, you can cast this skill less often.
4. Useful for PvP battles.

Is there any way to counter these necromancer spells?
No. The only way to avoid damage is to dodge them. So keep this in mind when fighting PvP or encountering Oblivion Knights that cast Bone Spirit.

Corpse Explosion Required level: 6 Requirements: Teeth [1]

The targeted corpse explodes, dealing damage to all nearby enemies.

If you want to make a "big mess" then this skill is for you. Since being named "The Best Skill of All Time" by Blizzard staff, this skill has become a favorite among many players. Corpse explosion is perfect for taking out a large group of enemies very quickly. All you need is to create a corpse and bring the monsters closer to the body. Explode the corpse to make new bodies and keep blowing up until there are none left. Minions and Bone Spells will help you create the first corpse, and then you just need to bring the monsters to it, and then blow it up. With each invested point, the radius of the explosion will increase.

Corpse explosion deals 50% physical and 50% fire damage. Therefore, monsters with fire resistance will take less damage (50%).

Deals damage to surrounding monsters in the amount of 70-120% of the maximum life of the monster whose corpse explodes. At the same time, the bonus to health from the number of players in the party is not taken into account (or using the /players x command), which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the skill with 8 players.

Dim Vision Required level: 6 Requirements: No

Reduces the sight radius of cursed monsters.

PvP: Useless against other players.

• Dim vision does not work on Super Unique monsters and bosses;
• Dim Vision works great against archers like Dark Archers, or against mages who cast powerful spells. Dim Vision will allow you to attack monsters from a distance without letting them see you. This curse is also useful in that it will allow you to run away from monsters, as they won't be able to follow you.
• Dim Vision will not affect monsters if they are cursed with Attract or Confuse (although these curses will replace Dim Vision).
• The duration of the effect from Dim Vision will decrease when going to Nightmare difficulty, and then decrease again when going to Hell difficulty.
• A monster hit by Dim Vision loses the ability to use its special skills. For example, Blood Lord will not be able to use Frenzy, Frozen Horrors will not be able to use Arctic Blast, etc. The only exception is archer monsters (like burning Dead Archers), which will be able to attack you from melee range.
• Oblivion knights are immune to Dim Vision. This is quite frustrating, as Oblivion Knights can fire Bone Spirit at you from behind their comrades. Switch to Decrepify against these monsters and/or respawn the golem near them. This will prove to be the most effective strategy against them.
• Dim Vision is incredibly useful when playing on Hardcore difficulty. With maxed out (20 skillpoints nested) Dim Vision and a lot of +skills stuff you can even curse monsters behind the screen. Thus, you will never run into a monster that could see you. This skill is also useful when playing in a team: melee monsters will lose their Charge or Frenzy skills anyway, making them less dangerous. And this will greatly facilitate the life of the melee warriors that are in your team.

Iron Maiden Required level: 12 Prerequisites: Amplify Damage [1]

Cursed enemies get a portion of their own damage dealt back.

• The curse only works on melee monsters;
• When Iron Maiden is cast on a monster, the damage it deals to you or your minions will be returned to it (and amplified). This way the monsters will kill themselves by attacking you or your minions. The more skillpoints you put into Iron Maiden, the more damage will be returned to the monsters. Sometimes the monster will kill itself in one hit;
• Iron Maiden makes Skeletons and Skeleton Mages incredibly useful, even at high levels. In order for this curse to work effectively, the monsters need to beat someone. Monsters start to deal damage to Skeletons, Skeleton Mages, Golems, and due to Iron Maiden and the returned damage, they simply die;
• Remember that Iron Maiden doesn't work against shooters. Curse enemies (archers or sorcerers) with Amplify Damage and then attack;
• Iron Maiden only affects physical damage. Also, Iron Maiden only returns physical damage. Physical Resistance is very effective against this curse.
• Also:
  • Iron Maiden allows you to quickly kill Hephasto the Armorer and Smith;

Decrepify Level Required: 24 Prerequisites: Amplify Damage [1], Weaken [6], Terror [12]

Cursed Enemies' Speed, Damage, and Physical Resistance are reduced by 50%.

• The speed of projectiles fired by cursed monsters is not reduced.
• The Decrepify Slow Effect is a separate calculation with the slow caused by cold damage (Cold Damage) and the target slow from effects and items (Slows Target By % items and effects). For example, the slowing effect is given by Clay Golem.
• Decrepify works on Super Unique Monsters and bosses;
• Note that additional skillpoints invested in this skill only increase the duration of the curse and do not increase the radius. So 1 nested skillpoint is enough and +skills from things will be enough. In principle, you can constantly cast Decrepify on the target, and thus update the duration of the spell.

Lower Resist Level Required: 30 Prerequisites: Weaken [6], Amplify Damage [1], Terror [12], Iron Maiden [12] Life Tap [18], Decrepify [24]

Reduces the resistance of cursed monsters, so elemental damage against them will deal more damage.

• Lower Resist is very effective in multiplayer as you will help your team deal more damage to enemies (with Elemental attacks or poison). This curse will also help summoners who use Elemental attacks (or poison attacks): Skeleton Mages, Fire Golems, and some Revived monsters.
• Lower Resist reduces resistance to fire, cold, lightning, and poison damage, but does not reduce resistance to physical damage.
• Monster resistances can be negative. For example, when a monster has 0% lighting resistance and it is cursed with a level 20 Lower Resist (-62% All Resistanses), its lightning resistance will be -62%. Accordingly, the damage that he will receive from this element will increase by 62%.
• Lower Resistanses removes immunity to fire, cold, lightning and poison (Immune to Fire, Cold, Lighting, Poison).
• If a necromancer uses Lower Resist lvl 1 (-31% All Resistanses) on a monster that has 31% resistance to fire, does that mean its fire resistance will go to 0%? Yes, it will become 0%
• This curse, when removing immunity (Immune), will only have 1/5 of its effectiveness.
