What is Blizzard going to do with the Necromancer? I mean, the buffs for season 5 are minimal… and like the Wizard, it’s a useless character… I have a level 100 Necromancer with all the paragon and all level 12 items, with the Golem Build which is the best you can aspire to today, with almost perfect templars I would say (I was very lucky) and I can’t consistently pass Pit level 101; out of 10 pits I do, I can only finish 2, the other 8 I get to the boss quickly but can never kill him, if I manage to dodge all the attacks, the few times I do kill him it takes between 3 and 4 minutes spamming skills… My friends have barbarians and rogues that clear the entire 101 with the boss in 2 or 3 minutes… Is season 5 going to be useless again for the Necromancer? I’m using guides from well-known pro players in the community but they don’t advance past 101 with a necromancer, does anyone have any information to contribute? Am I missing something besides my level 12 items with almost perfect templars, full paragon, and level 100?
Thanks, friends.
Then its something wrong with your build, a proper Golem build do 101 with ease.
I do 120 with ease on my Ebonpiercer and Bone Spirit.
Many many Necro players pushing above 100, i think highest Necro clear solo is around 140.
What build are you following?
Do you know the rotation of a Golem Necro? Its pretty strict on timings and managing your buffs for optimal damage.
You mean it isn’t just eat your sandwich and watch your minions clear the room? 
Non Necro players think so, but they are very wrong, imo Minion Necro is the most button/timing heavy build in the game…
Don’t even know what’s happening in S5 yet.
I’m expecting that at least some of the VoH story is going to start in S5 and is probably the main theme of the season.
There’s probably going to be some changes to skills/paragon that are from VoH, possibly including stat squish, so that we have 2 months of play time to give Blizz data about how well and balanced that is, so that they can apply any necessary changes to VoH (S6) so that it’s polished on release.
We already know there’s going to be tons of changes to uniques and aspects, as well as ton of new ones. I think Necro will be fine.
Also, Golem build isn’t really the goto build for Necro, Bone Spirit is.
They should both be fairly on par and should be able to hit 130-140.
I’ve done 101 on Ebonpiercer shadow build with relative ease but haven’t pushed beyond it. You probably just have some issues in your build, because Golem should outperform that by quite a margin.

I’m curious how many builds, and how many ways are actually clearing at least Pit 100
I’m sure there is tons, of course, you’ll need to be fully masterworked
But then 
Ah yes, why the 2nd strongest class after barb isnt getting buffs?
Its OP since release and now outside of stat damage buff, its not getting any other buffs.
Heresy!
OP since release?? What game have you been playing lmao…
well, just share your build, i got mine from here: u tube page .com/watch?v=BYMmkxIZqT0
