A fanat+amp mob can end you before you know it, esp if you don't have block.ģ. Ruined Temple in A3: contains the only stair trap I'm aware of that has the possibility of spawning you DIRECTLY ON TOP OF a hostile mob. Using your CE will give Nilathak ammo against you, which can end your necro asap.Ģ. Last area in Nilathak's temple: the vipers there are bugged and will wipe your merc+army. My final piece of advice is to be very, VERY careful in the following places:ġ. Those that've thoroughly played summoners realize that it's much more about the merc+CE than the actual summons. Beast, while not necessary, remains the BEST choice for summoners because it boosts merc damage, which gets you that first body & CE chain going faster. The rest just need to be positive, so that a FE/CE monster blowing up next to you doesn't end your necro. You will become a more skillful player without DV as a constant crutch.Īs for resist, LR should be 75%. My preference is to respec DV to 1 point once you're comfortable in Hell. Most players eventually realize the added safety isn't worth the loss in killspeed. Combining Attract+Amp provides superior killspeed and just enough safety to navigate places like Worldstone.

While DV is an EXTREMELY powerful spell (particularly to blind mobs around corners/through doors), it loses much of its utility after your character reaches Guardian. Also forget about those expensive runewords like beast, all you need is and +skills.

Summons resists : 1 pt (your equipment will increase your summons resists)Īll curses : 1 pt (the most helpful curses are usually decrepify for act 3 and, iron maiden vs. 10 pts (Because too many revives make a big lag) as quick as possible his lightning resist because he doesn't really have many life.

Annihilus (same as infernal torch + better is the exp., faster you will level) Infernal torch (higher are your stats, better will be your necromancer because more life and more resists*)ġ4. Grand charms (+1 to summoning skills for necromancer and +12% fhr if possible)ġ3. Walls of the Lidless (because spirit monarch takes too much strength for necromancer)ġ2. Calls to arm flail (crystal sword is usually for druids and assassins)ġ1. Arachnid Mesh (or Verdungo's hearty cord if you're rich)ġ0. Any low strength armour (ex.: Wire fleece, Mage plate)ħ.
