Necromancer
The Necromancer commands the dead and bends the living with curses. He can raise an army from fallen bodies, wield bone and poison as direct damage, or weaken a whole room so his minions and party finish the job.
Skill trees
- Summoning — Raise Skeleton, Skeleton Mage, Revive and the Clay, Blood, Iron and Fire Golems.
- Poison & Bone — Bone Spear, Bone Spirit, Bone Armor, Poison Nova.
- Curses — Amplify Damage, Lower Resist, Decrepify, Confuse and more.
How he plays
Corpses are currency — most builds turn dead enemies into more skeletons, a Corpse Explosion, or a revived monster. Curses soften packs; bone spells give a summoner reliable damage of his own.
Common approaches
- Summoner — skeleton army with curses and Corpse Explosion.
- Bone — Bone Spear and Spirit, ignoring elemental immunities.
- Poison — Poison Nova for area damage over time.
