I am sorry where do i find your guide so i can see talent tree and build
The production value of your videos has gone way up. Can you do a true budget mf lightning sorc guide like the blizzard one with early gear and farming areas.
@@johnknightiii1351 i released that like a month ago
@@Dbrunski125 just watched the video. Thanks! I was looking for a budget build guide but I guess it is only an end game build like you cover in the video. I appreciate the hard work you have been putting into these videos!
A video on which open socket items are valuable and why would be very helpful (ethereal threshers etc) maybe even early game a +fire ball etc white 2 socket staff?
Although you should prolly focus on more new player stuff to capitalize on d2r release
Also maybe one on charsi imbue quest useful for maybe late game pelts etc. or is it better or use early game to upgrade ur worst in slot
Tys keep up the great work👍
Tip for the people that are truly playing this with a budget (looking at you, budget build with HotA -.-). A townportal also works to group up your minions, just create one while waiting for Diablo to spawn, then quickly enter and leave town.
The hero we deserve
Another more cynical tip for people playing with a budget build. You should've made another character until you had the items to make a decent necromancer:P Sorry.
Get an amulet with teleport charges or use najs puzzler
Genius!!
@@sirris4330 Sweet let me make a javazon to farm enough items to make a "decent" necromancer that I will use to farm enough items to make a decent javazon. Excellent logic.
This Build Can Do Anything in the Game.....You can spend hours in Maggot lair for example :D
@JenniferX Yeah,if i want to take a break of Meph,LK runs,i just play with my summon necro and chill :D
I did it for the first try. Easy. 🤗
i find Normal Maggot Lair to be fine, by the time you get to Nightmare Maggot Lair you should be able to find Teleport Charge Staffs being sold by Merchants and that will negate the vast majority of your issues in Maggot Lair!
hahaha truth
@@Templarfreak I can’t find a teleport staff at the vendor for the life of me. I’ve been trying at act 1 hell and she won’t spawn a tele staff! Any suggestions?
No Enigma? Remember to "whip" your army! Here's how: Make sure regular attack is your left click.
When running around ahead of your army, *press shift-left click, do a "basic attack" to stop moving.*
Instead of "surround you first, then find enemies", the bulk of your army will continue forward and "find enemies first, then surround you"
Pretty big brain tip that you wont find in any guide video.
Now I have to make a necro named "NaeNae" to try this with.
also i love tele amulet, i know i know people will start talking about tele staff but my ocd prevents me from doing that because i would lose some summons if i change to offhand. Also funny how people say how is summon necro bad for maggot lair, i dont get it all it took was for one skeleton to kill one monster and than it was just a big corpse explosion chain reaction, its so satisfying im looking forward to hell cows.
@@borispsalman Necro owns Maggot lair - and basically everywhere in general... because Corpse Explosion is too OP
As you've got the one kill, you can just delete the screen - whether you're under leveled or terror zoned or what
@@CiPhEr505
Except for players 8 :S
Which is why my Necro is also meleemancer armed with obidience for high damage and enchant proc.
You need to kill 3 monsters for CE to delete the screen.
Thanks man. This build looks like a lot of fun. I did this when I was younger and I had no idea what I was doing. Now that I am older I am so looking forward to this game here in the next couple weeks. I look forward to seeing you stream!
Mercs and Summons teleporting with you is such a fun feature. When I level my Enchantress every season I go the bow route with act 1 merc and we both just fire constant projectiles while zipping around. Fun in HC.
Pew pew
Give her the demon machine to shoot too
I love enchant sorcs they make HC a fun time
Great guide! My favorite build in the game. I make it in hardcore with max block, max DR% and 125% fcr and that thing is invincible and extremely fun to play.
i remember playing this back in the day. bosses taking out the summons and there being no dead left to replace them with was a problem.
If you use decrepify, clay golem, and cold mages then you can slow down the bosses to the point they hardly ever attack. That was how I was able to do it.
If you use decrepify, clay golem, and cold mages then you can slow down the bosses to the point they hardly ever attack. That was how I was able to do it.
to be honest this summoner guide is trash. First of all i would use hoto instead of arms of leoric, then a homunculus. Also your main dps source are not the skeletons. The mercenary is wrecking the bosses. In this Guide he gives him Insight? Ultimate Fail, sorry to say this. But this is trash on Summoners. Obedience is necessary for Summoner Necro on the Mercenary, because he can kill everything fast. I would rather drink Mana potions and melt Bosses in about 10-15 Seconds instead of waiting like 1-2 min to kill a boss.
@@Hasel-em3yq uh in the video it didn't take 2 minutes to kill Diablo, especially when he teleported on him. Diablo died in like 10 seconds.
@@Randomorph iron maiden is viable to use also
I used Beast on my necro for fanatiscism and my merc was using a Pride for concentration for the auras on my summons. That was also, very insane.
I was waiting to see this, he showed off the godly gear and I am thinking to myself.... where is Fanat and Concen
exactly what i was thinking
@@unikage don't quote me on this, but i think (at least in project diablo 2 - a mod that has tried its best to keep to the original game while adding new content) auras in general were pretty bad for minions.
In addition to that, since no extra damage is really needed on hell with high lvl gear, the insight makes the game a lot less annoying, corpse explosion spam can eat mana as can summoning, so I think insight is a really strong choice.
I am not sure how fanaticism holds up against +5 skeles and skele mastery. Also leoric's arm gives 0.6 extra yards on corpse explosion.
But I too had fanat/conc auras on my necro back in the day. I just see insight/corpse explosion dmg carrying AOE, and boss dmg is less important, at least early game.
@@ralphzimmermann I was thinking Fant in cube, take out 4 small charms. Swap Fant with CTA post the buff.
I was a guy on reddit break down the skellie DPS. Apparently conviction is better then concentration.
The reason here is, minions dont need massive damage buffs, they need the ability to hit. Stacking Conviction to lower Def and then also Fant they get a massive bonus to their ability to hit their target.
@@ralphzimmermann I do understand why you get insight though. As end of the day speed of farming is the key. While you can pot to get manna back having to pot all the time slows the run down.
As a skell-necro lover who's never had an enigma I can tell you this: town portal is your best ally. If you don't have a teleport wand on swap, just TP and come back to reposition all your summons and merc. It really is /that/ easy. They won't stay put like on teleport, bug you can make sure ALL your summons (even revives) go where you want. And tps are super cheap to "repair". Takes a bit of time, yep, but it works and its middle name is budget. Also, I'm a very lazy player, so I don't even cast CE, just amp dmg and watch. T-15 days!
where are you putting your skills points?
This is useful but before you have enigma you absolutely need to have a teleport staff or wand on your switch. These can be shopped from a vendor as early as like normal A5 and it only takes like 30 minutes.
Just to be clear for everyone, you are looking for a staff or wand with the suffix "of Teleport" in the name of the item.
Tele staff can be bought after act3 normal at least for me both times
@@sharkypliskin sick thank you. Even more reason to shop it ASAP
@@gskills55 easiest is in act 3 at max level 23, because it'll be red (level 24 requirement) making it a lot faster to find as you can skip the staffs you can equip while searching.
I always use a teleport amulet early on. It has 25 charges and really speeds up Chaos Sanctuary runs since you can teleport there and telestomp high priority targets.
hey great vid, Summoner Necro main here, i just would like to point out to anyone thinking about using Revive on the zombies near Pindle, to keep in mind there is an intentional feature for those zombies to revive themselves after death, (the ones already dead on the ground included) and if you use "Revive" specifically on them before the ground zombies "get up" it will trigger during your revive's life and instantly kill it. sorry if its a bad explanation but as a Summon Necro you will absolutely see what i mean if you run in and spam revive right away. it's not game breaking but thought i'd let you guys know that this is why your revives expire right away if you use it there.
Corpse Explosion is really powerful, especially at players 1 where it is god like. If you are playing in higher player count, on thing that works well is making a beast golem while wielding a pride, obviously very expensive but we're talking about a summoner that can solo p8 Baals, even more easily if you have access to enchant. As for the more traditional setup, one skill that I would strongly recommend getting is bone prison (or at least bone wall). This can be used to aggro whole mobs within exp radius for quick full clears, notoriously used in cows for example. It also doubles as safety vs extra fast packs.
Isn't corpse explosion based on dead bodies' life? Isn't it scaling when you go p8?
@@Derzull2468 Yes, corpse explosion is definitely not as overpowered in higher player counts. P1 CE is god mode. It really gets slower past, say, P4. Still a very good skill and will do the job (just need to spam more), especially if you can have some debuff in the form of conviction on top of amplify damage. I played some mass summon necro one ladder, using pride, beast and 5k enchant and was really impressed with the results. This necro can kill P8 diablo/baal in just seconds, and can pretty much clear anything with reasonable speed. You can even clear uber tristram, with a bunch of urdar revives. The only caveat is that summoning all these guys and buffing them with chant every game is a lot of work and time. It was really badass to play however, totally worth it imo :D
Having an offhand staff with a charge based teleport is a nice budget option
By far the best thing to do for budget players who don't have Enigma yet. Yes, the charges are expensive. That's why you don't teleport all over the place like an Enigma person does. But you can still use it to tele-stomp bosses or escape from tight situations. It's a LOT better than no teleport at all.
@@chriswhinery925
Another trick is to put 1 point in bone wall.
Bone wall attracts monsters from far away for some reason so if you are in the open you know when to teleport and when not to teleport saving your charges.
Just start playing. Currently lvl 25
First time I heard of Enigma and teleport.
I've been using the skill teleport on the skill tree all this time and why why has a long cool down.
The D2 Necro is, and always has been my favorite class in any game like it.
To round up the skellies on Diablo (or other single targets), sometimes I'll open a TP go through then immediately return and all your sums stack on you.
The secret to summoner builds, without enigma is simple - tomb of town portal! - when you come from our the portal all your minions are in the same spot you are - there's a few ways you can aduse this... Use it as a way to burst damage a single enemy or small group, it's a good way to absorb a hit or few hits, or as a good way to force enemy AI to focus on something that isn't the player.
I remember back at launch everyone hated summoner Necro cuz internet speeds couldn't handle all the skeletons back in the AOL days lol
Excellent. My first build and my first love when I played this game 20 years ago. Glad to see a video on it, ready for D2R.
See you there!
Same. My DSL connection would sweat bullets lol
same here. i mean, my *very* first "build" was a paladin. didn't even know what i was doing and i think i never made it past like act 4 normal or something (that was even back before lord of destruction lol). after that i started getting into necro builds, especially the armymancer. looked at guides and thought about everything very meticulously. still never made it past nightmare but maybe now with resurrected i'll finally have the patience to get to a point where i can actually see whether what i've thought of will work or not.
@@HippieInHeart True story bro.
@@theanthill22 unfortunately looks like i'll have to be patient just to be able to play the game at all tho lmao. got hit with the avx bug, so the game literally does not start at all for me. they said they're working on a fix and, latest info from about 30 minutes ago, it'll probably take until monday (before the patch was scheduled for today, technically yesterday since we hit 00:00 - 12 am - 35 minutes ago lol). it *is* activision/blizzard tho, so i'm betting on 1 - 2 weeks minimum until the patch actually happens. if it happens at all and they'll not just say "fuck it, let's just raise minimum requirements instead" lol
Thank you always amazing helpful guides and videos , the time stamps are great as need to always pause to take down all the information, and replay the sections . Such a wonderful help and so easy to understand
If my memory serves correct, using a tp also works, to an extent, to help get minions stacked up on bosses. It's not perfect at all, and might not work all that great sometimes. The summoner is also painful in the maggot lair and arcane sanctuary without enigma.
Before I got enigma, this was my primary Baal running tactic. You run up to him, decrepify so he doesn't teleport, pop a tp, maybe heal if you're still poisoned from wave 2, than go back in and refresh decrep. Relax and profit. Until you get enigma, you do want to use decrep, since if Baal teleports, you can't easily follow him. Once you have enigma, decrepify isn't really necessary.
The Mercenary is called Emilio: That alone is win
I also obtained Emilio!! Hahaha
Thanks for doing this one! The summon necro was my first char 20 years ago and I'm def making another one and a good ol Fireclaws Werebear, slappity slap slap
I always put 1 point in amplify damage, 1 in attraction (because then the monsters attack themselves and not your skellies, also it is super helpful in beginning, when you don't have an army to keep them attacking the one or few guys cursed with attract so that you get quick bodies for skellies. Also when I take poison nova, I put 1 point into lower resist.)
budget id say something with tele charges is better for repositioning, also for bosses, you can reposition with a tp
the most relaxing and time killing build in D2, hands down!
I've been theory crafting, infinity on merc is strong, it's easier for necro to use a beast stat stick and make a pride golem. be sure to get the Act 2 merc that gives might aura as well. This is by far the strongest combo. Combining amp damage and conviction will increase skeles damage but more importantly corpse explosion. Xnumber of skeles in your army increases the value of the auras: Might, fanaticism, Concentration, along with lowered enemy defense/resistance from infinity and increased damage of 100% from amp damage. Your skeletons provide protection and work great as stand alone damage, with amp damage removing most immunities along with infinity this build can solo the game, including ubers.
Build notes:
Your largest damage dealer will still be corpse explosion (especially once paired with conviction aura/amplify damage curse) max this it will absolutely decimate everything on the screen. It does 70-120% of the monsters health as fire/physical damage, so points don't increase it's damage, only radius. This means the damage of the spell scales with the monsters health that you're using, so it scales extremely well even if your character is naked
don't max mages or revives only skele both summon masteries and corpse explosion, after that I'd recommend bone prison for increased bone wall absorption unless you run max block, if you're making a beast, pride, or insight iron golem put points into blood golem or fire golem to synergize for iron golem to increase health (blood) or damage (fire)
Trust me there will be plenty of sorcs and pallies, necro gear will be cheaper and with this build once you get enigma you power spike much more than other classes.
Jah Ith Ber :)
GLHF cya in d2r friends!
Summon necro was my first build playing for the first time ever with the remastered game coming out. I’ve found after trying the other classes that if you run with a partner, you can just melt everything. It’s the best support character but can also do solo. I have a teleport staff to focus my summons, and I do like using revives during cow runs or just to have some more targets on the screen, but I have only a few points into it. I get plus 11 skills with gear. When I play with friends, generally all of our mercenaries stay alive because the summons draw the agro first. If you have been thinking about it, make a summon necro. Very fun and versatile class.
I've spend most of time since the game came out optimizing this build and with level +20 to summon skills and maxed summon skeleton + skeleton mastery allowing for 15 destroyer skeletons and also having an Enigma for constant teleporting, it's hands down the most fun build in the game.
You should go into a little detail about specific revives that are good (like ones that have CB), and a little more detail on how Iron Golem works.
Yeah that's a massive difference in kill time. Urdar revives are insane for the CB I usually go river of flame and if can't see any there I try canyon of the magi. Also the bull demons in act 5 can be rather powerful. And one not often mentioned since necro has CE already is the weird bloat guys from act 4/5 who have CE a few of them can really add to your damage in specific scenarios
personnaly, I cast an iron golem with a beast in eth bersker axe, IAS, huge ED, crushing blow and open wounds AND it gives fanatism aura to all your summon and it stacks with might from mercenary too!!! it also never died in 5 years of playing ;)
***wihout enigma nor teleport charge staff, you can use TP to town and get back to focus your army to a desired point
that is a great tip with tp to town and back and works great against bosses. If you run up to the boss and open a tp to town and then come back and all your minions are fighting the boss just like if you telestomped the boss.
What Weapon do you give your merc and did how many stats did you invest into the iron golem & golem mastery ?
@@shdlip8935 Merc use pride, 10 hard points on golem mastery and 10 hard points in iron golem
@@mhebert350 Thanks mate. Appreciate your response!
@@JohnyMo88 its very great, but its also a lot trickier to use, and while it seems like it'll help a ton on Maggot Lair, it actually doesnt much. but beyond that, TP abuse is pretty good and you definitely should be doing it as much as possible if you have no Enigma or Teleport Staff. Definitely add it to your bag of tricks!
The budget video was exactly what I needed to see , thank you I’m now convinced on a summon necro
For the budget set, would it be worth getting a Teleport charged necklase just for the reposition of minions ?
Do you have a true beginner guide handy for someone just starting out and leveling from scratch? What to get first, etc. Even the budget gear is pretty high up the level chart. Thanks.
Might be what you're looking for: czcams.com/video/adBL6RaFPIg/video.html
when building from scratch you use what you find. Gear wise: try and shop a good wand in the beginning until you find better. As you level you can shop a telly staff to keep on switch. Lore, Stealth, rhyme, spirit will get your through the mid game. Rhyme can be made in the necy heads so keep an eye out for 2 socketed ones with good mods.
Enjoy the journey!

Is there a reason you don't just use a teleport staff for the budget build?
Edit: saw you mentioned near the end. I still think it's more budget than a cta but I see your point about how it takes a lot of gold. If you use it tactically though, like for bosses only, it's a good budget choice.
Using runes to repair.
Also a budget cta? Lmao
i think he said he was using the Call to Arms as mostly just a quality-of-life thing to show off the rest of the build, it's not intentionally apart of the build itself. I don't know why he's against Teleport Staffs either, expensive to repair? As opposed to spending your gold on what? the only thing you HAVE to spend gold on is reviving your Merc, and the only other thing WORTH using gold on is Gambling and even then that's arguable lmao
Looks like a fun build to play. What is the fcr breakpoint on the expensive setup? Maybe I missed it.
Any chance you could do a follow up video of the best gear possible for a summon necro similar to how you just did the trap sin one?
As someone else already mentioned, beast and infinity merc are no brainers for top tier. The lowered defense from conviction means your skellies will actually hit regularly never mind the crushing blow for your merc. The max golem mastery for a clay golem that can be resummoned seems pointless along with max points in amp dmg so you don't have to cast a second time. All of these points should go into bone prison and bone wall for high bone armor protection. Without bone armor 1 bad telestomp in high player count games will get you deleted.
Disagree, the rune word ‘pride’ would provide a much greater effect on your skeletons than infinity
@@GTurbo94 Necro should use Beast, Merc equipped with Infinity, Iron Golem out of Pride. Obviously stick with the Might Merc, stack all of the auras.
Infinity’s crushing blow and much higher dmg are great for boss killing and the conviction aura is going to increase corpse explosions dmg by a lot and let’s be honest here skeletons won’t clear maps corpse explosion will
@@mortalisathir5020 Agreed. Infinity + Treachery + Andariel's Visage with 15 IAS Jewel. Hands down the best mercenary set up for a lot of builds.
@@GTurbo94 The other guys covered most of the reasons why infinity is the best choice for a merc, but I wasn't 100% sure on skelly dps so I did the math. Lets assume lvl 40 skelly and skelly mastery, lvl94 necro with beast and might merc.
The necro pet calculator (can't link it) puts lvl 20 concentration skellies at 22244dps and non concentration skellies at 14771dps but that assumes they always hit.
Skellies at this lvl have an attack rating of 2559 and Baal at 99 has a defense rating of 2847, using the hit chance calculation "200 * (ar / (ar + dr)) * (alvl / (alvl + dlvl))". This gives conc skellies a ~46% chance to hit. Accounting for -83% defense with infinity then this gives non conc skellies a ~80% chance to hit.
So pride 22244 / 100 * 46 = 10232 dps, and infinity 14771 / 100 * 80 = 11816 dps.
Infinity 11816 > 10232 Pride
Even with the massive increase in dps the low chance to hit has a huge impact. A pride golem is the way to go.
"Godly" summoner uses Beast for Fana aura and his merc uses Infinity to increase his and skeletons' chance to hit and boost CE damage (CE is 50% fire). You can use Pride to make an Iron Golem if you are wealthy enough to spare a few Cham runes
Pride for concentration aura on Merc is another good option
Beast sucks, it only reduces their attack frames by 1 and they have a natural 15 delay between attacks as well
@@Applest2oApples it's more damage too. Even with no +skills it gives ~100%ed and 100% ar. Pretty sure that's better than a few extra skills.
Don't summons snapshot anyways? like you can summon with leoric +skills, then swap and get the best of both worlds?
@@jschram84 Yes. Honestly, with his godly build he could be summoning mages too. At that level they'll be kicking out serious ranged damage. Maybe not as useful with Enigma, but they help out while you're walking along.
Hey Dbdunski!
Its going to be my first season of D2, played lot of non ladder but not as necro.
Could you advise you what you find to be more comfortable/fun/flexible to Play?
I thought about going poison necro after respec from bone early.
Planning for pit farming and other 85lv areas for Hr
But this summon looks pretty nice too.
Any suggestions?
Don't forget you can also buy a staff with teleport charges from Act 3 Normal onwards. I consider the Teleport repositioning kind of essential to focus the attacks more efficiently, it's a game changer. Sometimes you also find different gear with teleport charges (headgear /diadem, rings, amulettes, ...), so look out!
My favorite build. Starts of a bit slow but gains momentum when you start getting some +skills items. Being able to reposition summons and merc with enigma is huge.
Here is some of my opinions that differ from your build slightly: Hoto> arm of leoric -- Homunculous > darkforce -- Get insight by making a Iron golem out of a cheap Insight and then on merc an obedience or Inifnity for raw damage and crushign blow for act bosses -- put at least a point into dim vision for dangerous ranged mobs -- Consider 1 point into lower resist for group play with tons of ele dmg members
lol arm of leoric actually sucks
@@kickassandchewbubblegum639 what makes it bad
@@dontew90 cause you can get better stuff with + to ALL skills...and not just particular ones..it makes it silly but its good as a gap filler until you find those
@@kickassandchewbubblegum639 thanks bro yea I use hoto and spirit. I was gonna use something else maybe hoto or dark forces. Trying to prepare for ubers though I need some torches asap
@@dontew90 The bone prison proc can be really dangerous and/annoying for one thing. Getting bone prisoned with dangerous mobs can = death. For another, Hoto gives a TON of resists and a TON of FCR. When comparing +skills Hoto is as good as if not better because while arm gives more to skeletons alone, it doesn't do anything for curses and less for PnB. People are under the misconception that you need to pump skeletons with this build. Most of your damage is crushing blow on bosses and Corpse Explosion on everything else with your merc making corpses for you.
Love the video content and quality, so happy to see your subscribers growing keep it up !
So, I'm curious as to what order you would recommend for the skills while leveling up. I remember attempting to level up a Necro AGES ago, and all of my skeletons just getting WRECKED once I got to Act 3.
Decrep for bosses, 1 point skel mastery until you max raise. Until then you on your own vs bosses. Early bosses the golem/reflect dmg works, but Diablo normal the fire ring just wipes the floor and you alone. I did it with party and by the time I hit baal had decrep up and sailed through the rest of the game
My favourite !! Whenever D2R start Imma make a quick Blizz sorc, make my Enigma and switch to Summon necro!
"Quick enigma" thats what ive thought for the last 3 resets and it hasnt worked out unfortunately lol.
@@DemonicGorilla Im not a big ladder fan. So it may took longer but. I got my fun :D
You're better off starting with what's more fun for you cause the grind for HR's is real. Don't play blizzard sorc just cause. Do what you like 👍
@@maurice4212 There's lots of fun in Both i mean i enjoy playing Blizz sorc and Summon Necro :) But Main remains the Necro :) Maybe Later on i can switch Blizz sorc to Frozen orb/Firewall. Havent decide yet.
@@bigk9938 think im gonna give bowazon a try at the start now. Getting tired of javs. I hope you get your runes quick!
Wait, wait, wait...arm of king Leeroyic? Your penalty is going back and playing Diablo 1. :)
Necro might become my main, if I get Enigma.. Having your troop teleport around with you looks overpowered.. Also, couldn't you make some sort of a necro crushing blow build or will the attacks be too slow to make it useful?
thank you very much for your awesome guide, i recently got diablo 2 resurrected on my switch couple weeks ago, regardless how old the original was it still gives me an idea of how to build my necromancer, im gonna sub to you so i can learn more from your useful guides
”The budget build wont have this crazy inventory and enigma”
But it will have a shako and double soj.
Guess ”budget” isnt the word Im looking for
Lol Shako is not expensive.~ Just grind some Andy's and "tadaa". If not use OrtSol Cap providing atleast 1 Skill.
And ok the rings ARE but expensive but even without you loose 2 skills, it should still be possible to handle the things like shown.
Necromancer Summoner can get like 4 auras
Might from mercenary
Conviction from infinity
Concentration from pride (iron golem)
Fanaticism from beast
works very well. Only real issue is if the Iron Golem gets killed then you have to remake runeword. So if you do this pay very close attention to your Iron Golem's life.
@@Thynqikan From my experience pretty much the only thing that can kill the iron golem is Ubers, he gets hit HARD by bosses lol and I have lost many a pride to my own pride lmao
Pride is so easy to make its crazy. This is a wonderful setup to go by for a good while if you have the runes.
I like beast + pride merc + insight iron golem
@@nova442 That works fin too but infinity actually does help your skele damage by a lot, don't forget conviction also lowers enemy defense by 83% making you melee skele's hit a lot more often plus obviously the mages if you're using them.
Hi.. fantastic video. But how did you get that teleport and berserker skill?
Hi Dbranski, I see you use a lot ethereal thresher for Merc, is this the best choice you think for Merc rune word?
I dig the build. When you show gear give it a little more time for us who don't know all the gear from memory lol.
Pause?
Literally pause it lmao
XD
P A U S E
Learned many new cool stuff within the last few weeks despise playing the game for almost 20 years
You never stop learning in Diablo ! The game is almost infinite and I have been playing forever as well lol
Dbrunski, I first wanna say i love all your vids man!! Just a quick question before D2R releases…do you like Bone or Summon necro more for end of game hell farming ?
For budget gear use a staff with teleport charges on weapon switch. You can shop those in act 3 normal. Makes all the difference in the world. Just make sure it only has teleport charges on it to keep the repair cost down.
love how the budget char is stacked with charms to the bone (lol), + torch and ani. most of the players wont ever see stuff like torch or ani
The budget build is later in the video
Budget build has shako, two sojs, arachnid mesh, bone runeword...
@@CJSevilla ya I’m still trying to get my first “budget” piece 😜
@@matthewjones7793 yeah its budged when you have x amount of money to spend on d2jsp, old chars from classic d2 or whatnot, account stacked with uniques on mule characters, or i dont know - whole days to spend playing
@@zbigniewiksinski damn, son... how are you not dehydrated from all that salt?
Not hugely budget still. Still using arachnid mesh 2 soj and cta offhand but better I suppose
Dbrunski's definition of "budget" has always been pretty goofy. He's like Jeff Bezos trying to tell us about his idea of a "budget yacht" lol.
Man. You got a subscriber. This channel will be my first source of content for D2R. Excited for tomorrow
2:41 mostly with Baal its very tricky to have a bunch of revives, every time he spawns a new wave of minions the old corpses are despawned, so taking corpses straight from the throne room into the worldstone room is difficult, but also kinda sorta in general with bosses except the basic Andriel and Diablo, and due to that issue with revives wandering off and doing their own thing and really struggling to follow you most of the time, they end up getting despawned easily when trying to make your way to a boss, especially if you have a lot of bonus run/walk speed.
they definitely seem to have the lowest priority with keeping your summons alive, its very rare that you'll see Skeletons or Mages despawn (though they can) but revives will despawn _all the time._ teleport helps with that a ton, but outside of that imo i kinda think the opposite of revive. revive is excellent to throw some extra bulk or extra ranged attackers that dont have shit damage without lower resist into your summons against groups of monsters, but against bosses its tricky to get a bunch of revives ontop of them. and usually, just your skeletons+ice mages+clay golem+merc+decrepify is enough for me to take out bosses anyway.
the biggest reason why the revive AIs are so weird tho is because they keep the AI (and the abilities, with some exceptions) of the monster that you're reviving. so for instance, Fallen will still dart in, get a few attacks off, then run away. Wraiths can still pass through walls and monsters. Vampires and Greater Mummies will still stay pretty far back and cast spells. etc, etc
You can easily town portal out of the throne room, go to a waypoint where desired revive-target mobs are, then run back to the waypoints to Act5 and re-enter your portal. Some madmen brought revived Hall Of Vaught pit vipers against Hell Baal and used their bugged omega-poison to destroy him for probably the craziest example of this. The main issue with Revive is that the short time limit greatly limits the usefulness of them, but you can do some creatively ridiculous things with the skill.
@@joshuakim5240 well, when you're just playing casually / singleplayer, leaving to go get some revives is fine, but in the ridiculously fast-paced multiplayer you'll lag behind so much doing that
but even in singleplayer, it's a little weird and awkward to leave to do that, and like you mentioned, due to the time limit for revives, as well as them so easily despawning, this is really annoying to do lol.
like i said, the ice mage+clay golem+decrepify+merc combo is usually more than enough on their own to take out any boss, even on Hell Difficulty, but on Hell Difficulty going through normal non-boss related stuff can actually be a bit of a challenge for your skeletons if you dont have the best gear, and that's where Revives will help you way more imo. especially getting ranged attackers, as that will help you kill the first monster faster to start popping Corpse Explosions. melee revives dont help as much unless they're absurdly tanky, because there's only so much surface area in choke points to go around
Love the videos, just one thing I would like to see is videos that you aren’t in the 90’s with all this gear. A lot of people watching want to know best way to level where to start putting points into a build sc/hc. Having all that gear for most is never gonna happen, so best low level/mid level alternatives are videos I would like to see. A necro at this level is a walk in the park, it unless u joining chant games, levelling solo it is very boring as a class along with plenty of other classes out there. Hopefully can see more videos with the bottom to mid level covered in the future.
You're budget gear was far from budget, and it clearly shows you aren't used to using low level gear anymore lol. But my man, you gotta use the TP trick for Diablo. A tele staff is great for a Summon Necro, they don't need enigma at all. A tele staff and some tps are all you need for quickly moving your army around.
Appreciate the video. Love seeing the Necro get some love.
Yeah he had arachnids and soj etc. But... he also had zero summon gc's and not even a really shitty low tier torch. As well he had no grand charms at all and only the small charms at the top of his invent... So I think it kind of evened out and that was why he left almost his entire inventory empty.
@@asharedo "he only had some amazing gear, not all" is not the same as "he used budget gear". If you can justify using arachnids as budget, then you have lost the concept of budget. That's my problem with these budget videos. Most people who make them don't understand the concept of budget cuz they know how to farm efficiently, not realizing many people don't know how, and will only farm Meph (and even then, not that much). They don't wanna spend time farming, they wanna just go kill things. So no, it doesn't all wash out in the end. It's just a failure at making a budget recommendation by not understanding what budget truly is anymore.
@@cjleach3442 arachnids isn't that hard to find lol the only real issue I see is the sojs that's definitely not budget but even those are only a vex rune right now. That budget gear Necro can literally be made (minus the soj) for like a HR and half
@@codyfike3545 And do not forget the CTA just to make life a little easier. Yeah budget players don't get that option.....
Back in 2012 when I last played d2 on battlenet ,,,, was this build I ran with and will do it again for d2r
Thanks for the guide
Fishymancer is my favorite build and this is exactly how I play it. Great video.
hm best in slot for this build would be beast imo way more dmg for your minions
fanatism aura is so important.
@@0oTheLuXeo0 Should be mandatory for summoner builds.
I often see Enigma, CtA, and other dream equipment in your videos/guides. If Blizzard does a good job fighting bots and hacks in D2R, these will remain a dream for most players for a long time. Just saying. ^^
I've been playing again for 3.5 years and have yet to find a Jah, Ist or Ohm rune.
@@johnwayneasgenghiskhan4699 you are aware you can just craft every single rune in the game right?
Are you going to come up with a similar guide, but this time, with a bone necro? AKA use the bone spear to drop one, and then corpse explosion to handle the rest?
Using a a weapon switch staff with TP charges is not as expensive to repair if you don't teleport through levels, just use it for the strategic advantage. And if your inventory is not filled with charms, you can easily get the money back by picking up and selling elite armors. Some parts of the game are a nightmare with summon necro without any ability to teleport - Countess or Mausoleum runs come to mind.
"This Build Can Do Anything in the Game" providing you've already done everything in the game... ugh.
i beat everything up to hell baal with self-found gear. i've barely upgraded my stuff since normal. have like a total of +5 to skills and +few hundred mana from my items. it's definitely doable with crap gear. it's just really tedious and boring. don't really see the point in playing anymore lol
*anything except convenient looting*
“Amazing budget build!!”
“Reliant on enigma”
Lol?
Sometimes these expert forget common sense.
@@jdriele sometimes i think diablo content creators have "einen an der meise"
You can buy a teleport staff in NM Act 2 and onwards. It’s expensive to repair so you have to be choosy in when you use it. You can also find a teleport amulet, though I don’t know an easy way to find that.
I remember watching your videos when Diablo 2 re-work (re-skin) wasn't even in the horizon. You deserve way more views with the re-release of D2. Keep it up!
Did they make changes to the skeletons in recent patches? I remember having to wait for ages to kill hell Diablo with a fully geared nec with beast and pride merc
well you can't cast a sea of them like way back when - capped at 8 now for lvl 20 but they are much more powerful.. as for dps and killing speed it's just max skeleton mastery on top of max raise skeleton and then aura(s), battle orders + battle command from CTA and the amp damage curse maxed out / powerful mercenary
I find it a bit funny how much he knows about D2 but still can't pronounce Leoric :P
"Budget build" he says? Bro, i don't even have 1 skill charm and i cleared hell on 2 different chars.. This build is NOT viable unless you have end game gear at all.
Super agreed
Yeah the teleporting is pretty important, helps to control the flow of battle, plus doorways and narrow passages can be annoying with a huge army cause there’s no room.
I started a new plugy not too long ago, my first char was a summon nec in HC. In NM I found an ammy +nec skill with 20mf and 22 teleport charges lol. No swapping to offhand. Boy was that exciting. Funny how items like that can be so useful
I'm jealous. Ive always played single player, so have had to earn everything the honest way. I usually use wands on the offhand to tp. Would love to find that ammy. Wouldnt have to dream about the day I finally can make enigma :(
So with the changes to A5 merc I’m curious if running x2 hoj/dream/dragon would be viable with psn build?
Think it’s be fun to lower res/psn everything and then get melted by auradin merc while Corpse explosion??. Any thoughts on this or just use infinity on merc still far superior.
What class/build would you suggest for someone who is starting from the bottom without any items etc in order to farm items/runes for future characters? Sors (what kind?), Hammerdig.. etc ?
Sorceress. Any Kind to your tastes. I love Chain Lightning but that's me. Then Blizzard, Then Inferno (DEVs please fix the bug!!!) So I make 3 Sorceress, one of each type.
I have both arm of leoric and a Hoto. Which one would you recommend to use?
What do you think about Beast in an Axe instead of Leoric? Beside the expensive Runes, is the Fana Aura worth it or would you prefer Leorics extra Skill Points? Great build btw. and also my desired outcome for my first Char in D2R as I started yesterday.
Should I go for Insight or Obedience for my merc wep? I'm seeing mixed comments about that one. I'm about to start hell and need to make him a wep and i'm not sure which one to make.
Interested why you didn’t go beast and insight golem and then using decrep for the bosses?
Big fan of Summoner Necros - they were my first completed Hardcore characters (in both Classic and Expansion mode).
There are a couple of things they find very difficult to do, though - Maggot's Lair and Arcane Sanctuary. You will need lots of patience (and some luck) to get through these, especially on Hell. The confined spaces are a Skeleton Army's kryptonite.
Yes, especially if you don't have the ability to teleport if you get sandwiched between a bunch of enemies and your summons can't get to them to take them out lmao
I got my necro at some decent gear now and will try this out tonight. Don't have enigma so will have to see how it works. The fast skeleton raise trick in a5 is awesome. Thanks!
I had an awesome summoner 15 years ago with Beast, Pride and the armor which gave your merc and minions Thorns Aurora. Everything melted even in players 8
In my experience the A1 merc with Edge Runeword is all you really need. It is cheap to make (Amn rune is the highest needed) and 3 open socket bows are not that hard to find or trade. The lvl 15 Thorns Aura is gonna carry you through all difficulties with no problem, because a lot of the time your army will be amp-cursed and if you cast amp on the enemy as well, they deal crazy damage to themselves. Bosses are no problem either because bosses deal 4x damage to summons and therefore return more damage to themselves especially when amped and your army is cursed. The only problem are ranged mobs, but this is where dim vision comes in to keep them still so your army can get to them. And in Hell difficulty if you manage to find/trade for Sur and Ohm you can make Bramble armour for the merc which can raise thorns up to lvl 36, returning 1650% damage. The only problem thorns cannot solve is physical immune+stone skin monsters whos immunity cannot be broken even by amp damage. In this case elemental damage revives are more helpful than skelly mages.
i usually pickup a teleport staff for my summon necro (shows up at act 3 normal onwards). but i was lucky enough to find a circlet with +1 to necro skills and teleport charge through gambling. wish it was +2 but sure beats having to swap bars and lose some skeles when stomping.
Yeah, the good old teleport staff. Just make sure it's a cheap one (only teleport) to reduce the repair cost.
How much Meg you have on the pro/cheap build? How much u actually need to get some decent chance of drop?
You should do some kind of link with your gear set up and how to get it specially those special charms
I just pulled the trigger on creating a Beast caddy for my Holy Shock pala, isn't it better than using a wand? I never played summon necro, but feels so obvious, no math done on my part.
Can you do a video of how to start out a character for your different builds and maybe some tips how to progress til you get uber geared?
Yes a new DB video. I see, I click, I like, I comment. You channel has been growing like crazy. Congrats man. Keep up the great work!
Which necro build would you recommend for someone hell-bent on rolling a necro first for D2R? (I was thinking Poison+CE and pit running - this has got me on the fence!)
for the release just play a bone necro ' Bone spear ' then respec for farming in hell. Do the poison nova build for farming since you can literally farm anything with it.
Hell yeah!! I always love the Necro and minions, that will be my starter for sure!! THX
its a bad starter very bad enigma,beast doom golem not so nesesary but with leoric u can forgot abaut hell only nightmare farm otherwise good luckj son
few weeks or some xx K of fg needes
Obsession runword for your merc casts enchant on your summons, pretty dope.
Great content as always. I am hoping you could make the same guide but on PoD
Hey i have one question which class and build is your main and favorite to play ?
doesnt beast would be worth or is the damage you got from leoric better ?
Dbrunski, I've always been curious, does Iron Golem summon charges from Metal grid amulet unsummon skill based clay golems?
Yep
Of course. It works the same way as if you've had the skill and used it.
I do a slightly different setup. Using iron golem created from eth cv Insight gives me meditation aura + golem disappears only if he dies, not when you leave the game. Than my merc uses Infinity.
I would put one point in skeleton mage. Just to use them as meat shields
I like them because they stay close to you even after teleport. Able to block some damage nearby
