Little tip: You cant send corpses in camp, but you can send any containers with corpses, just bring few empty backpacks.

Very good video. I liked the emphasis on spell save DC and Spell attack rolls.

If you want a wizard that will be hard to hit, I think spending a level to multiclass into fighter, paladin, or War Domain cleric so you can wear some heavy armor.

poison cantrip 1d12 and poisoners robe in act 1 are great combo for not needing a lot of rests and recasts rebuffs

Additional details not in the video: The Staff of Cherished Necromancy seems bugged (but to our advantage) since the Life Essence Harvest stacks you get from killing a creature don't go away until you long rest. You just need to kill one creature to cast any Necromancy spells without expanding a spells slot. Also, instead of using the Gauntlet of the Tyrant, you can use the Spellmight Gloves. They currently work with the spell magic missile. This is probably a bug too.

Edit: The skeletons have been fixed with Hotfix #8. They now spawn with a bow as intended.

I manage to get the evasive shoes by not killing the Tieflings. I just interact with the Tieflings kids who stole my gold, saving one of the kids from harpies meeting Mol, save arable from the evil snake lady, save another Tieflings on top of a cliff where a bug bear going to assassinate her, also talk to the mage that was arguing with his family convince him to stay and protect the family in act 1 do all that you can unlock a new vender in Last Light Inn the red looking kid he sells those boots.

i like the way you talk. calm but not annoying in the slightest

[MCGSS]

One crazy build i saw was a Wizard that went nothing in int early but went as high into Cont as she could and has wiz/char high, then we killed the ogre and got a the helm which set her int at 17...so she ended up with 17 int and 20 cont...in Act 1 she was one of the highest HP characters we had it was funny.

Spores Druid is also a really great necromancer build. With the right mods, you can also get Death Domain Clerics. You can make the Dream Team:

Necromancer Wizard
Spores Druid
Death Cleric
Oathbreaker Paladin

2:27 please tell Me the name of that armor and how You got it!

[cyrylkowalczyk]

More than 6 levels on Necromancer are kind of pointless. For remaining levels I suggest switching to Tempest Cleric (maximized lightning damage), Sorcerer (metamagic) or even Moon Druid (shapeshifting).

what's up with corpse picking up thing lol ? Pick one and send to camp, rinse and repeat why you need all this :D If you want so much you can pick up the club of str and use that.

[NotXeneonn]

I think it would be better to have friend rather than light since almost every races have dark vision anyway and having advantage on almost every charisma checks is really helpful since wizard don't have high charisma

[danielhorodenko]

what is the first soundtrack used in the video? that haunting sound, i don't remember when i heard it in the game, is it in act 2?

[CanuckianSledCult]

There's a certain necklace that gives you 17 Int. That might help this build.

[NIgHTMaReFortyTwo]

How do you have 16 dex at character creation with a drow?

[SlippyPete]

@10:19 Where'd you get heavy armor proficiency?

[fartass]

what is that armor and staff you have at level 2?

[CatroiOz]
