All the other classes have been buffed in 2.4.0,
necromancer, though well balanced,
but seems to be not powerful enough in muti-players games.
The main reasons can be the difficulty to get corpses,
and DPS is split too much per target.
Thus, according to my knowledge of a necromancer,
how to improve summoning and curses skills
while not to break the balance 2.4.0 has made.
ONE、Summoning Skills
In the old 1.10 Diablo II update,
being over number but weak,
skeletons has been cut,
but each of them is now stronger.
It’s a great move with long sightedness.
However, to do it again in Diablo II Resurrected,
it’s less fun of to be a commander will decrease as well.
Thus, the following advises I have,
are all based on a consideration,
to cut the numbers of minions no more.
1、 Raise Skeleton
Chance of spawning with a shield,
Is now 5% based on each point invested.
and the chance to block is now no longer with a 3% cap.

Skeletal Mage: +2.5% Damage Per Level
Revive: +1% Chance to Block Per Level
2、 Skeleton Mastery
Upon death, each skeleton has 5% chance based on each point invested, to leave a corpse.
3、 Clay Golem
