Fire golem is trash, in non lod d2 he is even worse, blizz should increase fire dmg and give golem " - enemy fire res " every level, necro need just one strong minion build, skeleton magi is the same, they have little hp and much worse dmg vs skeleton warrior.

I’ve been maining necro since the original diablo release and I can confirm that necro is by far the worst character in the game and most forsaken by the devs. his meta was the only one that hadnt changed that much after all these years and the last balance patch the buffs on skelly mages were insiguinifcant that the meta hasnt even changed a bit same builds over and over again.
The problems
Bonemancer - requires lots of +skill to actually start doing damage
Poisonmancer - requires lots of gear to start doing damage
summonancer - needs merc to actually kill something and highly dependable on corpse explosion
wich brings the sum: The mainly thing about necro is corpse exploding stuff devs should make other sources of damage viable at early endgame (hell) rather than rely on corpse explosion

Agreed. Summon necro can play with well geared merc without summons and rely only on CE, main purpose of skeletons on Hell is meatshield for necromancer and his merc. Also killing speed on bosses is awful, you have to rely on crushing blow from merc. Also CE is much less effective on high ppl. I wish we had useful curse that increases minion damage to demons and can’t be removed by other curse. It will make minions more dangerous in PVM, won’t affect PVP, and will make Summoner overall stronger. We have Weaken that no one ever uses, I’d happily sacrifice it in favor of such curse.
You have Amplify Damage and Decrepify (for physical attacks - main choice) and Lower Resist (for Skeletal Mages - niche). Isn’t thay enough?
And what is the problem with curse overriding? Monsters don’t override your curses cast on them. And you can easily recast if needed.
Lol, who ever uses LR to buff mages
I want this specifical curse not being overrided by my own AD or Decrep. Main purpose is to improve clearing speed and make bossfight faster. Also summoner won’t be forced to rely on merc so much.
