Necro, Summon Golem? Then no more Skellies?

When I did Necromancer: Call Of The Underworld the golem at the end just stood there.
I’m not sure how to summon a golem?

It seems to be in its sacrificed state?

Upon messing around with the book of the dead I sacraficed my ice mages and reaper warriors I lost the summon skeletons button? ugh

It seems my necromancer forgot how to summon? derp.

Um… yes. If you sacrifice your skeletons and mages, you can’t summon them. They’re sacrificed. It’s like the warlock sacrifice pet in wow. You can’t have both things.

If you want pets you have to choose a non-sacrifice option, put the ability on your bars, then cast it.

when re-enabling them after sacraficing, the button didn’t come back.

Click S and manual move the button back

It doesn’t reappear on your bars automatically… You have to press S to get to the skill book and drag it on to your bars.

I was also confused about this. I had an empty slot on my bar, and when I completed the quest, nothing happened. I tried to summon with a corpse but didn’t work. I didn’t realize it was a separate spell altogether.

Thank you for this thread. I just did the quest and was really confused as to where to find the skill.

  1. Blizzard, this should not be hard to find - and it is.
  2. Why are the summon skills taking up slots on our bar when they are not skills on the skill tree?? They are not part of a rotation and it means 2 less skills overall. This is really not working when I want to use at least some selection of skills from the various types. Right now I only have corpse explosion and my ultimate for skills :frowning: I would like to at least have a curse too.

Just make the spell “Raise Undead” and you can raise everything, Golems > Mages > Warriors. Ez pz Blizz.

yeah i made it through the first while as necro before i even noticed i started with a raise skeleton button. I kept looking through the skill tree trying to find out when i would get minions. It started on my bar with no notice or anything, and i flat missed it.

I also pretty much lost interest in minions once i got my golem and realized i couldnt actually have a build and use minions due to the 4 skill limitation. I’d been a little unhappy about that throughout, because i kept getting gear that would add +1 to skills, but i would never be able to use them because i flat don’t have room on my bar to put them. Why bother to have plus skills i’ll never be able to use?

When you complete the quests to unlock them it says to press Shift + C to find them?

Raise Skeleton
Once all of your Skeletons have been summoned, Raise skeleton briefly summons a Skeletal Priest to empower your Minions for 5 seconds, increasing their damage by 20% and healing them for 10% of their Maximum Life.

Golem
Your Golem becomes Unstoppable and Taunts Nerby enemies and takes 30% reduced damage for the next 6 seconds.

Skeletons are too good to not have to eat up a bar slot.

It’s actually part of a fix that was annoying for their Diablo 3 rendition. If you wanted to be a summoner in Diablo 3. It was your build. It took up every single one of your slots so Diablo 4 improved it. Trying to anyway that they made all of the skills only use 1 slot.

So technically Necromancers currently have a skill that is like 6 diablo 3 abilities on 1 slot. I’m including upgrades to skills in there too.

There are still improvements to summons on the trees. Also minions scale with a lot of your stat bonuses as well.

If you are being serious I thank you for this! About to f&$k some s41t up Kenny Powers style!

Jilratti idk if my comment went to your thread because this forum is weird on my phone but thank you!
