Necromancer Summon Endgame Diablo 2: my build to easily play in Hell, skills, equipment and mercenary!
How the build works
There are a lot of Summon Necromancer variations out there, so I'll point you out to mine with the required skills and which ones you can change. Namely that you can play in Hell only with the mandatory skills that I give you! The rest is just a bonus 🙂
Statistics
For statistics take level 80:
- strength: 118 to wear the boots (or 156 if you have a Spirit)
- Dexterity: 0
- vitality: the rest
- energy: 0
For the bearings:
- RBF: 0
- FCR: 48 or 75
- FHR: 0
- IAS: 0
In terms of resistance:
- about 50% to all resistances
Necromancer statistics
skills
This section is in two parts, what you need to take to simply do, and then as you wish to complete.
Mandatory skills
- Skeletons: 20
- Skeleton Mastery: 20
- Clay Golem, Golem Mastery, Summon Resistance: 1
- Macabre Explosion: 20
- Amplify Damage: 1, increases physical damage received
- Life Balance: 1, heal your summons
- 1 point in the curses that serve you (Attraction, Weaken, Lesser Resistance)
- 1 point in the golem of your choice and resurrect, personally I play Clay Golem, which slows down enemies
- 1 stitch in bone armor
With this setup, you will be safe to kill all your enemies. All of your damage is in physics, which works great with Amplifier. If necessary, Balance of Life can heal your invocations.
Choice of skills
You then have two optics:
- max skeleton mastery, for more summons
- max bone wall and rib cage, for control
Both depend on your style of play, but are still dispensable.

A Necromancer Summon build to easily clean up the Hells of Diablo 2 Resurrected! Bosses will also pose no problem to kill!

Hi, the post is a bit old but how do you pass Baal without decrepitude? I'm doing a hardcore necro summon, what stuff would you recommend? Thank you very much for the site.
Hey! no on the contrary you are doing well :) For the bosses if you play mainly physical Skeletons (and not mage) you are better to put Increase wounds, because this increases by 50% while Decay only 33%. You put life scales on if necessary. Afterwards, if your skeletons die too much, you can consider Decay but that's the only case = ) For HC stuff, you always favor resistances (Smoke Armor, Pact of the Ancients shield, helmet with resistances, etc.). Then as soon as you can, skills :) In endgame, the equipment is very similar
Ok thanks for the advice. I'm going to try to make myself a stuff to farm and a stuff to advance. For now I'm in hell level 1 and I farm mausoleum, comtesse and the abyss, I passed andy but I already lost a necro at level 2 hell because not enough resist.
okay 🙂 as a priority, do yourself especially the runic words of resistance if it's not done yet!
Ok it's done and indeed I am much more serene and can move forward quietly. On the other hand, I have a leoric arm in arms and I have already found myself stuck in my bones. Do you have a trick to avoid this inconvenience (and the big stress that goes with it). Thank you and have a nice day
It's true that in SC I didn't have this problem ^^ but otherwise avoid getting hit as much as possible and ALT F4 if problem!
That's it I defeated Diablo, and he made me fall a SOJ and a merline which will allow me to teleport and get me out of my bones when I'm stuck. How is it at the end of the season? It's like for D3 we recover the gear too little by little or we have to prepare to empty our coffers a little?
Hey! Sorry for the response time ! gg for the soj, you will get well 🙂 you will have four temporary chests where you can only remove your objects = )
