Hey guys,
I was just googling some Necromancer builds and it seems like the Necromancer has the least possible builds out of all the characters not to mention that I couldn’t find anything creative.
I am referring to Single Player and putting aside general builds ( Magic Finder, Cow Farmer, Vampire, etc ) the possible options are:
• Bone
• Poison Nova
• Summoner
Checked some Dagger videos which seemed completely weak and irrelevant with the dagger overall. Do you have any ideas of a viable build that perhaps D2R has unlocked?
Thanks!
The Necromancer has an inherent design problem ; Corpse Explosion. The clear speed of that one spell is so much better than anything else a Necromancer can do that their gameplay basically boils down to ; use Skill of choice + Merc to produce the first few corpses > spam Corpse Explosion.
Couple this with the fact that the Summon tree is very passive, the Curse tree is very passive, there’s only one usable Poison skill and all the Bone skills get maxed for synergy bonuses so every Bonemancer ends up the same, and you have a recipe for pretty boring build diversity.
There’s some builds using CtC weapons / armour and going as a melee necro. Things like ‘Brand’, ‘Bone’ or ‘Plague’. ‘Beast’ lets you become a Werebear for faster fpa and tankiness and was combined with ‘Brand’ to spam Bone Spear very fast, but they nerfed the Werebear attack speed so I’m not sure how much that build holds up anymore.

I think you summed it up perfectly.
Thanks!
