Saving on desecrate is the easy way here. 1 point in bone armor, 1 point up to iron golem and 5 into mastery. Skill wise, use a desecrate wand initially to spawn your corpses. I'm still missing a +2 Anni, and +3 armor but even now the build is insanely OP. I'm currently running +53 skellies and they melt maps and bosses.

Yes, you will need all the +skill gear like a 3+1 amulet and ideally 2+1 circlet or 3skill steel shade. Boneflame is cheap or humo if you want to go the max block route. ITT: People that have no idea about strong summoner builds. Hope someone can clarify things for me, thanks in advance! If I were to transition, what gear should I look to be swapping? I’m assuming I need a different weapon, maybe something like Leoric with one of the necro shields, but I’m not quite sure what’s the best option for gearing.įor skills, I’m assuming you go 20 skeleton warrior, mage and archer, 20 mastery, 1 Iron Golem for the Mage Slayer Conc aura, 1 corpse spawning skill (can’t remember the name), 1 curse mastery and then rest into Amp damage - is this correct? Is there any idea in picking up Life Tap for Ubers or similar or does that not matter at all? I’ve been reading tho, that full skeletons are better than what I’m currently running, but it required Fanaticism which I got my hands on now through Faith (level 13 aura) on my merc. Else I’m running Shako, TO armour, +3 summon amulet, gravepalm, Marrowwalk, shit belt and rings until I can get my hands on Arach and Wisp + Soj/BK. I’m decently geared and using the Grim’s Dead schyte for 16 mages.

I’m currently playing a necro summoner with fire golems, skeleton mages, one point in revive and then lower res.
