  • Great post dude !! In my experience, the best build for necromancer is the Skeleton Build. Skeletonmancer has lots of room for modification in it’s gem and passive tree setup so you can tailor the experience in your own play while the core gameplay remains pretty much the same. Regards !

  • Skeleton builds have been a thing for a while now. Thanks to the steady damage output and survivability and cheap items this setup is often suggested for new players. great post !

  • Yeah, we agree with that totally, but Skeletons lack mobility. You need to cast them right into the packs. Despite their magnificent boss damage Spectres are way better on farming maps. Thanks to Specter's high mobility and AOE damage.
