2. Skeletal Mage

3. Command Golem

4. Command Skeletons

5. Bone Armor​​

​

Main Hand

Rotted Harvest - Summons a Devouring Golem that consumes corpses to increase its damage, life, and size and the golem also has a large area of effect slow aura.

​

Off-Hand

Black Wall - Skeletal mages are now mobile and channel beams that increase in damage the longer they hit.​

​

Shoulders

Cutthroat Arch - Your Skeletal Mage attacks also increase your critical hit chance stacking up to six times.

​​

Legs

Dead Druthers - Bone Armor now also increases you and your summons attack speed and movement speed.​

​​​​

Recommended Sets

1. Shepherd's Call to Wolves (6 Set) - Increases the damage of you and your minions for each minion you have out.

2. Vithu's Urges (2 Set) - Increases the duration of your beneficial effects by 30%.

​​​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Vexed - Deals AoE damage when your summons first enter the battlefield on cooldown.​

​3. Ghosted (PvP) - Optional for PvP to summon a minion to take some of your incoming damage.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Seeping Bile - Gives a 4% chance to poison enemies (triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem).

3. Echoing Shade - Summons one to three minions based on gem rank that use your primary attack.

4. Maw of the Deep - Used at high ranks to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

5. ​Starfire Shard - Useful for PvP to deal damage and to stun enemies inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

6. Frozen Heart (should be switched to for PvP) - Gives an absorb shield for a medium duration and chills enemies.

7. Void Spark - Deals AoE damage that's extremely effective in dungeons and the new PvP map.

8. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Bloody Reach - Deals increased damage based on the distance to your summon and then distance to the enemy.

2. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.

3. Viper's Bite - Poisons enemies and triggers the damage increase on Pain Clasp (also triggered by Seeping Bile).

4. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.

5. Follower's Burden - Increases damage based off your number of summons and decreases their damage taken.

6. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

​7. Mourneskull - This legacy gem is drop disabled but it can be used to increase your damage and it deals damage.

8. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Everlasting Torment - This budget gem deals damage over time which triggers the damage increase on Pain Clasp.

Note: Everlasting Torment should eventually be replaced with a leveled 5 star Seeping Bile to trigger the Pain Clasp gem.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill for a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience is used to lower the cooldown of Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires for increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and socket one of each in your equipment for a higher level of refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the main stats on the piece of equipment.

​

Gem Notes

Legendary gems that provide increased skill damage like Colossus Engine, Power & Command, and Entropic Well don't increase the damage of summons so they shouldn't be used on this build. The new Specter Glass two star legendary gem should be used because it's one of the best two star gems. The Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile legendary gems deal high continual damage and should be used to trigger the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem. You can optionally use Everlasting Torment which deals continual damage on critical hits as a budget option until you can afford a rank 4+ Seeping Bile. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament both give increased critical hit chance and work well with Specter Glass, Igneous Scorn, and Everlasting Torment which deal damage on critical hits. You should consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of equipment with Reforge Stones when using crit legendary gems for higher damage. Echoing Shade summons one to three minions that use your primary attack which is especially helpful for your minion count with the Shepherds Call To Wolves set which increases your critical hit chance based on how many minions you have out. One of your legendary gems can also be switched to Frozen Heart in PvP for a large absorb shield and to chill opponents. As an added note, pure Summoner Necromancers are sometimes a little weak in PvP so the Grim Scythe/Corpse Lance Necromancer or the Wiltbloom Golem Necromancer are recommended as better Necromancer builds for PvP.​

​

Here are two strong Necromancer PvP options Grim Scythe/Corpse Lance Necromancer and Wiltbloom Necromancer.​
