Make sure every Aura and Warcries is active.

Use your Mercenary and Clay Golem for that.

Go and create your army in a safe place.

Start always with activating your Bone Armor spell.

Type: Get a Act 2 Nightmare Might (Offensive) Mercenary.

Swap: Call to Arms - Flail / Spirit Monarch.

Charms: Perfect Hellfire Torch and Annihilus, Skillers + Life and SC's + Life and Resistance.

Shield: Homunculus + Um (or Jah, if you have reached maximum resistance.).

Chest: Enigma - Dusk Shroud or Archon Plate.

I've put mine into Corpse Explosion to increase the radius even more. Now you'll have 3 points left that you can put into a skill of your choice.

Here you can find the build implemented in the Diablo Fans - Skill Calculator.

Then put one point in Bone Armor, Bone Wall and Bone Prison and start maxing out Bone Wall and Bone Prison first, cause they give a higher synergy bonus than Bone Armor itself if you were to max it first. Start with all Summoning Spells, Corpse Explosion and Amplify Damage.

Don't be afraid, you'll be able to kill every monster around level 60. You'll be need to be level 96 to use the build below. Remember you're playing on Hardcore and dying sucks.ĭiablo II: Resurrected Review - Pile Of Old Bones You do not want to get yourself killed cause you're poorly geared. Also I would like to let you know that this is a VERY EXPENSIVE BUILD, and without these items it's going to be a lot harder to clear any high end content (Übers, Diablo-Clone).

This is a Hardcore based build, so the main reason is to stay alive and after that incinerate monsters, which goes pretty easy anyway but on Softcore you would probably use your skill points a different way.

So I decided to share my Necromancer build on the Diablofans Wiki and here it is. Also I never really was a forum type kind of guy, I just liked playing the game, but since I've joined the Diablofans forums last month things have changed and I kind of really liked posting a bit of nonsense and talking about my favourite game of all time. Nowadays my time is getting limited, cause of my work, family and other stuff, but I consider myself a well-rounded Diablo player.

I've been playing Diablo II from the very beginning until now, but with breaks in between. It kept me alive in all sorts of situations and especially the lags, which are in my opinion your worst enemy in Hardcore games. To start off with, the Summoner Necromancer is my all time favourite Hardcore character.
