• IMPORTANT! Future of t...
Thank you all for the support! - Hry
I'm here to be called a bastard
Youre a bastard
Thank you for all the builds you have been making. I love this game but I am terrible at it and you have helped me get through it when I thought I could not. Keep up the great work.
Dylan Hammond same here!!
I wish there was also some worded guide in this video. Like annotations in the actual video or the written build in the description too. I really like your content but sometimes I can't view the whole video and listen in for builds. Written would be nice too. Thank you for your work :)
Yea I'm confused nas well and wish he started from the beginning
Thank you so much for this build. Just started another playthrough and of all the builds I have made this looks insane and way better than any of them. Wish I found this years ago. Just subscribed by the way, definitely earned it.
Man, I love your videos. You’ve made this game so much more fun. Not that it was bad before, but your videos just make it so much better
This build is probably even sexier now that living armor and necro work together!
Been waiting for this one :)
The absolute best of rpg guides. Every time. I play a new game and always end up here. 🙏 You fucking legendary bastard!!
Great video, I'm gonna try this build
I enjoy the intro each time where we are immortal bastards, backstabbing bastards etc, I always get a laugh out of that haha
Hey RPG Division! Love your channel, you put out AMAZING DOS:2 content, I was wondering could you do a video centered around grenade use? I know there are talents for it so I would just like to see your take on it, and how the build would perform. :)
+ApexEaterFTW
Its on my to do list
BARTSTURDS.
thanks for the uploads man keep em up
This guy wrecks thank you i just got the game im gonna follow your lead
New DS2 player, and started with a beast cleric build.... but after learning who has the best stories I rerolled fane and I'm going to use this build !
wow fun build!
Yay streams at last, put twitch in description plz, or do announcement in CZcams, ty
Does this mod bring back NPCS (resurrect) like for example zharah and have her follow you throughout the game? Or a way to have your undead mimic game NPCS as her with a spell or some transformation?
Thankyou. I yearn to be a dead wizard with an army of skellies.
Can you create skeletons and zombies in this game? If so, are they any good for necros?
could you get away withusing dual wands then putting points from warfare into geo to boost physical defence?
id like to stack statuses (burn, bleed, poison) with the new torturer build.
I used that build as a base and expanded my own one upon that.
I went almost full on Geo, full warfare and full retribution and I killed a lvl 20 with two hits while I was lvl 18. (My friend that glass canon died xD)
I started the fight with 1 HP and because My chest armor gives me permanent Death Wish. I buffed up my phisical armor fully and had 13.000 Physical armor, I used Living on the Edge on myself so that the enemies deflection buff can't kill me. I hit him with 11k dmg from reactive Armor, then I used shacles of pain on him because his 11k Physical shield was demolished.
I already was fully healed even though he had deflection.
My friend that died before was my tool to get on low health again, so I used rezzed him with last rites. My luck, it critted and I lost all my life down to 1 HP again. Then I threw my shield on the enemy and made 20k dmg due to a crit and him reflecting dmg to me which was reflected back to him due to shackles of pain.
I use mixed Physical & Magical Armor based gear, every gearpeace though gives me INT.
I love to be Overpowered.
How do you play this build at low lvl ? At lvl 3 with only a few skill once my 3 damaging ability have been used I'm stuck with either very weak auto attack with a 1hander weapon due to now str or using a wand and doing elemental dmg on a build that based around physical dmg. I'm trying to duo this build with your Dread Knight build and my Knight have to do everything alone I'D say in Fort Joy
+David Martin
Its a tough one to start with because of spell cooldowns but make sure you get more skills as soon as possible from that diseased lady in the tent at fort joy.
Also use strength based weapon and bouncing shield skill for first region. That way you can always contribute.
Ty, its pretty much what I was doing I'll try to add Battle Stomp and RAM it should help. Keep the good job many of your builds are fun and informative.
What skills and talents should I start out with and have early level?
Where did the self-heal actually come from? Only those 3 points in necro?
Just got the game when it went on sale on PS4 the other day, I'm binge watching build videos for a general idea for what I want. Leech I think would kinda interfere with the build if the enemies can get passed your defense and since everyone I watch with their characters in the end game, it's useless cause it's just small heals as you're walking over blood. It might save your ass if something can down your defenses, but if you want to focus more on offense then yeah ignore it. I'd say it's super useful in early game though
I have so many hours in this on my PS4 haha love it
Hi. Is necromancy life steal work with retribution?
Hi man,
very nice guides and builds. Although in most of them you are already at lvl 21 which scales your gear and stats big time in comparison to the underlevelled paladins at the bridge - lvl 18.
I've seen some mods in the workshop which actually make the game harder, adding additional mobs to all groups or even additional spawns in locations where they were not before... may be it would be interresting how these builds work agains an enemy who is really challenging :)
Other than that, another nice idea for a build, GJ.
+Amatsuichi
Paladin bridge is 18 and 20.
Its not the level thats the issue, its how many there are. They do huge dmg in one turn.
Yeah, seen the mod. Dont really need it for the bridge. Its still tough to pull off on tactician. Proper rotations are necessary.
Agree. May be Ive got my wrong feelings about the bridge from my playthrough where those paladins felt really easy... but my group was lvl 20 and difficulty was classic... have to check it out on tactician. The whole Arx area feels kind of underwhelming in comparison to the start / mid game... not sure why, but I was somehow awaiting too much from the late game :)
+Amatsuichi
Agreed. Arx was rushed.
At the start of the bridge paladins are 18.
Then more of them 20s are popping up further you go.
If you have good party then youll beat them anyway but on tactician it can be tough.
Easier method is to start making your way from the beginning to clear couple of 18s.
Toughest method is to start from healer at the mid of the bridge.
For a frontline staff user is it better after lvling up the 2 schools of magic that you are intrested in up to lvl 2 or 4 to level two handed?
+Leon
Id go for 2 handed.
If you werent a frontliner then id say huntsman but that doesnt fit with the frontliner.
Here's an interesting challenge: Use this build (or minor variation) from the very start in Honour Mode as a solo lone wolf character (no Fane). No respeccing allowed, so you need to work on your final build from the beginning. No stealing from vendors or other OP cash-making cheese. No using play dead or fleeing with skills like Tactical Retreat to reset fights and pick enemies off one at a time. Movement skills ok as long as the fight isn't reset. Invisibility ok (like Cloak or potions) as long as fight isn't reset. Been trying this out and it is very difficult. The problem is making it past the early game and tough fights like the turtles, crocs and frogs.
+DocSardo
I wouldnt find it fun but its an interesting idea.
I make a lot of mistakes, forget some interactions and such so i dont think i would get far.
It's tough that's for sure. First attempt I tried Sebille and Necro/Summoning to start (but I limited myself to only the Necro slug summons) and it was too squishy. Now I'm trying Red Prince with early points in Str and Con to use plate armor and shield (could also try 2-hander), and points into Warfare/Necro then Geo (level 2) and Poly (level 3 - cloak and chicken). Memory for more spell slots. Start pumping up Int after enough in Str. Seems like it can work. Meteor (oil slick) plus flame breath combo helps with crowds. Still difficult, but should get easier if I can make it to level 4. Plan is to ultimately have your build build here, or a hybrid with your other necro build. Agree it's not for everyone, but fun if you like a challenge.
When making a new character what class is this? Witch, Cleric, Inquisitor?
It doesn't matter at all. Pick ranger, warrior or any mage and get the same results
So, I have a similar build except it is a more warrior focused version swapping intelligence for strength. The combat stats are pretty similar with the addition of 1 scoundrel, 3 polymorph, 1 pyromancer, and 2 aerotheurge. Obviously, I use most of the warfare skills except I only use shackles of pain, raining blood, death wish, blood sucker, bone cage, and living on the edge from necromancy. I also use bull horns, skin graft, tentacle lash, heart of steel, chicken claw, chameleon cloak, and apotheosis from polymorph. The other skills I use are vampiric hunger, teleportation, uncanny evasion, fortify, frost armor, cleanse wounds, haste, peace of mind, adrenaline, cloak and dagger, and summon inner demon. Mind you I do not use all these skills at the same time, and often use a select few skills I find to be optimal for every situation along with several scrolls typically of buff spells like living armor, peace of mind, and fortify along with restoration. As for the talents I use living armor, executioner, hot head, and other useful talents. Lastly, I do use a two hander as the extra damage is more valuable than the armor restoration in my opinion seeing as I pretty much never run out of magic armor as living armor combined with necromancy will keep magic armor high, and even if they do get to my vitality I can just pop vampiric hunger and death wish to heal all the way to full very quickly using skills like uncanny evasion, chameleon cloak, and living on the edge to avoid dying or getting hit. In addition I typically am carrying bone cage, heart of steel, and fortify on my bar meaning I have plenty of ways to restore physical armor.
All of that adds up to most fights not even breaking through my armor aside from particularly difficult ones like the paladin bridge, and when it a party good luck doing anything because having a hydromancer and/or a geomancer with this build is all manner of busted. My typical team setup involves this character a hydromancer, geomancer, and a ranger with one of them having a side focus on summoning and another focused on buffing. Even then I sometimes switch the geomancer and/or the hydromancer for rangers with different focuses.
Does it affect the build at all if I choose any other race or not?
Nice video, I'll try the build tonight. I was trying to create a build to be similar with my D&D character and this one fits perfectly thematically :)
Also what type of companion (class) would you recommend with this build? Thanks!
supersick build!
At which difficulty is he playin' at?
Tactician. Every build besides my very first one (battle cleric)
what are the most important skills for this build on lower levels?
Thanks master!!!!😔
“It destroys lives”.... 😂😂😂
what's your favorite build? I'm new to this game and I somehow want a necro/summoner build😅can't figure it out though
Try It, its awesome.
Mine is rogue/ranger..
Hey there, as a new comer (currently level 9 on the lady vengance)...how do i start this build? Becaude i love it! Isnit viable in the start of the game? How should i distribute points. Thanks a lot!
Yes, it is viable whole game.
Every point into INT until you need more Memory slots.
Then when INT is about 30 (base, not with gear) id start putting points into wits.
From combat abilities put 3 points into necromancy max and that is gonna be enough for the whole game. Up to you when you want to get to those 3 points (another option is putting 1 point and through gear getting to 3).
Combat abilites either prioritize warfare or retribution. Dont neglect the other one, put couple of points into that.
RPG Division wow what a quick answer!!! Thanks a milion will certainly try that (once the kids sleep 😀 ). May I ask one more? I’ve startred the game with Ifan as my main. Pure physical crossbow dmg, sebille as a rogue with pure physicall, lohse as enchanter and red prince as a fighter...I’d like to build 2/2 magical/physical. And i have no idea who should be the second magical and how to build him. Any short tip? I dont like the prince that much so i thought i would twist him into some mage... (loved your hybrid party video). Thanks a lot!!!
No problem.
If one mage is focused on hydro then i would suggest another one that is aero.
Or both hydro or both aero.
is this build still viable? is there any updated build for mage? im new at this game what is good mage necro builds guys any help would be appreciated. i know basics of the games
I'm thinking of doing a poison necromancy hybrid
1 good combo that I use is:
vs Single target - Reduce the armor from the enemy to 0 > Cast Fortify on you > Cast Bone Cage > Cast Shackles of Pain on the enemy > than Cast Reactive Armour - Doing this you will double damage on the enemy because Reactive Armour does damage on you and with Shackles of Pain will give some damage back to him.
vs 2 target - just do all the same as vs Single target but this time cast Shackle of Pain on the other targe, the damage you receive from Reactive Armour will pass to the other target.
how are you doing physical damage with a wand? All necro spells require physical armor to be zero for their effects
does it matter what talents u get first or is it just preference
It matters because some are useless at the beginning in general (like picture of health and savage sortilege)
Can you take a look at a melee staff build?
I've heard stuff like using whirlwind while you have master of sparks or sparking swings buff is really strong. Using a fire staff and high pyro since it buffs all fire damage. Plus some other combos that you can think of
+Hayden san
Its true. Now im gonna start focusing on magic side of things more.
Problem is that necro spells sre resisted by physical armor and they do physical dmg. Staff is exclusively magic dmg.
On 1 character 2 dmg types are not a good idea.
Yeah, so I'm guessing staff build works best with pyro/geo/aero?
Also great video
+Hayden san
Yup
Interesting. So if you melee attack with a staff it does magical, not physical, damage? Even if you use a Warfare skill like Whirlwind? I knew that it scaled with INT, but I didn't realize it was magical damage (I guess that makes more sense, although scaling with Warfare doesn't necessarily make sense). Kind of confusing.
DocSardo it does the damage type of the weapon with the weapons scaling.
Can you do a build that's not lone wolf? I like my 4 man party and i wanted to see if my pyromanser would do a decent damage late game
He first shows a build which a non-lone wolf one. Look at the stats and you will see it. But to experiment it on the arx's gate, he pulls-off executionner I think or another talent to replace with Lone Wolf.
Lone wolf is most fun tho lol
The Pyro is really effective like the first half of the game, then quite all the monster have 70% or more resistance to fire and poison. If you want to go wizard, imho, better go aero+hydro, much more damage and CC combination, or full geomancer (and you don't even need int, just scale with geo skill!)
He did a good party build for that. Put loads of air resistance on them all, 3 were damage dealers and one was a tanky sword and shield healer, summoner and leadership guy.
I have a hydro/necro undead and I feel like I almost never have to heal.
i dont understand the point of this build. Is it reflect build? If you try a lv 21 lonewolf against paladins its obvious anything will workout just fine
The build I ended up having is similar only I use a shield that comes with deflecting(From that paladin guy) and I go with poly morph skills to get rid of that cool down down time. Nice to see a build that is even more basic than mine yet more effective lol. Its probably the blood rain now that I think about it... maybe I should spec into hydro+aerthereo rather than rogue for that sweet crit mult.
I guess if you want stronger pets you would switch out Retribution for Summoning and keep max Warfare? Then maybe do the Constitution version of the build? I'm thinking it may work well in a 4-man party.
+DocSardo
Id still keep wits because in party youre even less likely to die.
Especially with summons.
Otherwise yes, youre right.
If youre using conjure incarnate use it on blood surface
This looks like a fun build to try on my solo Fane Tactician run when I get to Act 2. Currently using a high Finesse/Wits sniper bow build - Huntsman/Scoundrel/Warfare/Poly/Pyro. It's fun and really effective, but the constant hit and run (play dead) to pick them off one by one gets a bit tedious (and a bit OP since I rarely even get hit).
I guess I'm wondering how you managed to get 8 action points when the max is 6?
Because of lone wolf:)
So the necromancer doesn't summon the dead ?
can u make combo video ???
Does this build still work in definitive edition?
Every build works except Lone Wolf ones that are outdated which ive specified in title
why is standing in blood good?
reduce AP cost with elemental affinity
why not 10 points necro to full heal for all damage you reflect
Watch Sintae's solo honor builds. It gets right to the point. No useless words being spewed out
Like he said this is a blank slate, But I still paused and un-paused this video over 100 times for anyone who finds this video and wants the build written out.

thank you very much
why no lonewolf talent?
Because he likes friends!
He does us the lonewolf talent, 5:50
Hey can u do a retribution build or just let me know a build lol
this is a retrubution build
How about a vampire build?
+aoinokitsune
How would that work mate? I think this is closest to it, no?
Hmm, i guess im just thinking of a thematic build that focuses entirely on draining as much life from enemies as possible. So for instance having leech, as many abilies that create blood as possible, the vampiric aura skill, maybe a variety of ice abilies, and an overall high life steal stat
can anyone explain to me why his necro skills take one less AP to cast than mine? for example raining blood in my game takes 2 to cast.
With elemental affinity talent if youre standing in blood all spells cost 1 less AP
thanks my dude you rock
So I did a respec after watching this. Then reran the final battle in tactician.. Opened with blood storm, criticals and lost armor all around, blood rain, everyone is bleeding, grasp of the starved and all but dallas and lucian are dead, not much left on those two, Lohse cleans them up. Overkill I guess, didnt even get to fight braccus and his cronies. Honor run is next
either this is on easy mode or classic dos2 was super, super easy lol
I don't do builds for easy mode or play at that one. Only for hard and hardest difficulties in any game.
This dude's calling us bastards and his accent is actually really hot.
Why do you put more than 1 point into Warfare? It says it's for physical damage. Isn't this build all magical damage?
+Scorpionleader
You got it all wrong mate. Necro spells are physical and scale with warfare.
Not beginner friendly tutorial, don't know what these skills do at all
So wear intelligence gear, but boost warfare ? Very counter intuitive :/ Also this build is probably weak on Act 1
Gear and warfare have no connection whatsoever.
Stop saying "It's a blank slate" and start saying what the CORE ABILITIES are. I have absolutely no idea what you did or why because you wouldn't explain it in the 1st half and I just gave up caring after. Terrible video.
I'm new to the game and I'm hella confused about what I'm supposed to pick in character creation to get to this point :x
