I also highly encourage reading NightfishвЂ™s guide, which is comprehensive and well-researched. It also includes some thoughts on gear and options for using the extra skill points. This Guide is intended to give a quick-and-easy overview of the key details on the build and pointers on playthrough/progression. The Necromancer can also wade into battle himself alongside the skeletons as a вЂњcommandomancerвЂќ (which is actually a distinct build and so not addressed here, but covered in this guide). The mercenary will be Act II Nightmare (Might), for the extra damage for the skeletons and merc.Д«eyond that core build, itвЂ™s highly customizable, allowing maxed Golem Mastery, high-level Revive, or higher-level secondary curses. Named after Nightfish, an SPFer who pioneered the build (and literally wrote the book on it), it uses maxed skeleton warriors (Raise Skeleton), Skeleton Mastery, and Corpse Explosion, with Amplify Damage as the primary curse. All of them can draw on various curses to enhance offensive attack or manage the battlefield, and Corpse Explosion is the great equalizer, potentially levelling entire screens at higher levels.ДЄmong all these options, however, the safest and most fool-proof build is also extremely powerful on the offensive side: the Fishymancer. This allows melee builds, summoners with skeleton fighters dealing physical damage, summoners with skeleton mages dealing elemental damage, golem-mancers who focus on powerful golems to pair with the merc, summoners that focus on reviving dead enemies to fight with the necro, poison spell casters, bone (magic) spell casters, and back to melee with any combo of summons. The Summoning tree provides multiple options for minions the Poison and Bone tree allows powerful poison damage, magic-based bone damage and defensive spells, and the all-powerful Corpse Explosion that brings area-of-effect fire and physical damage and the Curses tree allows complementary spells that enhance damage or provide major crowd control. The Necromancer probably has the most variability of possible builds among the Diablo 2 character classes. 3.3 Other Stats вЂ“ Resists and Faster Hit Recovery.Rune Word Recipes added with the v1.10 patch. +4 to Skeleton Mastery (Necromancer only)Д§% chance to cast level 1 Twister when hit +3 to Poison and Bone Skills (Necromancer only) When a mace is called for in a Runeword recipe, you can use a Mace, Morning Star, Flail and Exceptional/Elite versions only.ДЎ00% better chance of getting Magic Items Maces doesn't mean all Mace class weapons. +3 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon only) +48% Resistance to Fire, Lightning, Poison the runes must be inserted into the item in the correct order, as specified in the recipeД¬lick here for v1.11 LADDER ONLY Rune Word Recipes.the item must be non-magical it CANNOT be a Set Item, a Unique Item, a Rare Item, or a Magic Item (in other words, the item name should be displaying in grey).the item must have the exact number of sockets as specified in the recipe no more, no less.the item must be of the correct type, as specified in the recipe.When creating a Rune Word item, make sure: Scepters - Scepter, Grand Scepter, War Scepter, and exceptional and elite versions.Weapons - Melee Weapons, Missile Weapons, and Sorceress orbs.Melee Weapons - Any non-ranged weapon (Sorceress orbs are not considered melee weapons).Maces - Mace, Morning Star, Flail, and exceptional and elite versions.Hammers - War Hammer, Maul, Great Mail, and exceptional and elite versions.Shield - Any armor used to block including Necromancer Shrunken Heads and Paladin-specific Shields.Club - Clubs and exceptional and elite versions.Helm - Armor worn on the head including Barbarian Helms, Druid Pelts and Circlets.The definitions of Item Types for Rune Word items are: Some 1.10 Rune Words allow players to use skills from another class.
