Having to resummon every time I join game is a huge disadvantage for summoners compared to other builds. Summon Necro is my main but this is discouraging and results in switching to classic Blizz sorc for farming. Technology is already here for Iron Golem so please make it work for every summon. Would be great and simple QoL change.

I don’t think they’d be able to make skeletons carry between games without extensive rewriting of the game code and how character files are saved.
I think a simpler approach would be for necros to start each game with the ability to raise say 1/4 of the maximum number of skeletons their skill allows for rounded down without having a corpse to do so. This would at least give a necro summoner the ability to jump into areas without having to go somewhere first to raise an army. Yeah, you’d still have to cast every time you start a new game.
Will this ever happen? With Blizzard largely ignoring this game, I highly doubt it.
I just go cold plains and have a full contingent in less than a minute. I agree it would be a good QoL change, but it’s not that bad. At least you get to keep them the whole game and they work about anywhere. If repeating an area with lots of restarts it can be a bit annoying. I find Mosaic much worse, always having to recharge and often dropping charges just as you reach a dangerous pack.
someone doesn’t know about all the free dead bodies in act5… maybe you can guess where they spawn.
I didn’t play this build but I can imagine. I’m on the side of those who are against this item.
I’m aware but let’s take Baal runs or doing multiplayer overall. Walking and loading screens take time, Nova sorc will clear everything before I start.
I do agree with the OP 100%. This should also count for the Druid Summon.
Oooh interesting. But I think the PVP crowd might be ticked about all the extra infinitely raisable meat (err, bone) shields a necromancer would be able to have
It does however work i fine in PD2, any skeleton or golem that didnt die ingame is carried over to next game, but yeah blizzard probably wont do any further updates at this point
