wondering...

hi all, new poster here
i just recently started playing d2 again, after 2 years of not playing, and ive noticed quite a lot of changes.
like apparently, melee blows now, hammerdins own all
and the only real way necromancers work, is to focus all in bone =/
this is very upsetting for me, as my fav was always to make a necro, get tons of skellys and mages and good old gumbly, and just wreak havoc with my army.
what im really asking is, is this still a viable class build? the true army leading
summon/curse necro? or am i just gonna be let down by my trustworth skellys in nm and hell?

a skelemancer is very very viable, and one of the best builds a necro can do. a very common build is the fishymancer, where the necro goes skeletons and corpse explosion.

someone recently has been posting a lich lord guide (lord of mages but expensive) which he says is rather viable. revives are still very very strong, but their AI makes them unwieldy to use.

Here are some options!

1 - Enigma runeword (Jah + ith + Ber) works on both NL and L
2 - Amulet that has telecharges
3- Najs staff

Welcome Newcomer to The Darkness. Grab a brew :drink: and feel free to raise some corpses.

If you don't have godly gear the standard Skelliemancer or Fishymancer is your best bet. All it needs is some +skills. These can be gambled and found easily. If you don't mind taken it very slow and relying on AI curses you can even do it naked. Check out the [ Essential Necromancer Information ] sticky for guides.
