I'd really appreciate if you' put all "guided playthroughs" and subsequent guides into one playlist. Thanks for making them, too!

Summoner necro was probably my fave build out of all 7 characters, an I had thousands of hours into d2 expansion. I'm 34 now, an I'll be walking down memory lane on September 23rd. Cannot wait. Good luck to all.

Really appreciate you caring for those players who just wanna play casually! Great guide!

all of us gotta do summon necro at least once to feel like a 9 year old with unstoppable power like we used to

Tip for Baal fight: If you get your Clay Golem to hit Baal, and keep your Decrepify curse active on him, he won't teleport or cast clone. He will just stand there and melee your army. GG EZ

Llama I came back specifically for your video because you're the only one I know who shows how to do skill distribution from 1 to endgame. Thank you!

Not a huge thing, but I feel it's important to mention the big downside to revives, which is if you get too far away from them, they'll just straight up die/despawn, regardless of time left on them. You can see it happen around 15:22, goes from 12 revives to 6, then to 1 a little later. I think regular skeletons also have this issue, though it happens less frequently with them.

Wow lol, i installed d2 after the d2 remaster announcement that you were part of. Summoner was my class choice, funny you released this today.

One thing I always like doing that I didn't see mentioned was making a "White" runeword out of a wand. You can go to act 2 drognan in normal difficulty and he sells 2 socket wands sometimes, just keep rerolling until you get summoning skills. I've found one with +2 skele +2 mastery with 2 sockets before. And then the white runeword adds +4 to skeleton mastery. I think a perfect +3 skeleton +7 mastery might be on par with king leoric wand.

Levelling the Amplify Damage skill is technically not pointless, as it takes a point everytime you level it :)

d2 necro kindled my undying love for summoners. subbed

Couple nitpick/disagreements. First amp damage is -100% physical resist, not 100% more damage. For most monsters, especially early on, this is a distinction without a difference. But it is important when it comes to anything with physical resistance like stone skin, because it actually means your skeletons will do more than 100% more damage than they would otherwise. Second is mages. If you are fighting an enemy that is particularly hard, a poison mage will stop the monster regen and a frost mage will slow them down so they aren't hammering your skeletons so hard. Plus they are just one more target that isn't you when it comes to tougher encounters. Better to lose a mage than have to corpse run.

I actually found max summon resist to be key to taking nightmare bosses . The skeletons last much longer from ae's

Hey! Llama it would be awesome if you made a guide to Diablo 2 as a whole! Such as how to find certain items (torch, anni, etc.) because I’m sure many people & newer players will have no clue or may have forgotten how everything is obtained once D2R comes out!

[AlgorithmMockery]

Just picked up remastered, was looking for a through level to level setup. Thanks so much for this 👍🏻

Im pretty impressed that summmoner build actually works to this degree. The diablo guide book that you can get heavily hated on skellies for how flimsy they are.
Im a fan of swarm♡

I can't believe it. I literally just opened up D2 plugy again today, after a few months on the 'shelf'. Loaded up my level 75 necro, searched on Youtube to see if you had anything on necro summoner builds (I basically had done what you're suggesting here) and halfway through the video I notice you uploaded this today xD. Ha! What the hell. Can't wait for Resurrected. Great roundtable with the Blizzard guys. Love from a long-time D2 player and fan.

[goathiz]

I just started my necromancer today
