I’m assuming you’re playing solo and using what you find since not specified. Resist the urge to dump ALL your skill points in the “raise” skills. Yes having a massive army is nice, but useless if they’re made out of paper. Put points into the mastery skills as well to boost their HP and damage. Don’t go higher than a clay golem. They make excellent tanks. Remember your curses! Going all the way down to Decrepify can be a massive help for bosses. Speaking of bosses… You’ll probably make it through the game well enough till you get to the Act 2 boss. He’s demolishes summon necros. My last solo run I had to keep lvling till I hit 30 to use Decrepify on him. Gear, whatever gives you + skills. The wands at vendors can be very nice (and very expensive) so always check them out if you’re looking to upgrade. Don’t worry about tons of armor/defense, your army should be taking most of the hits.

Any Creative Necromancer Build? | PureDiablo - The Diablo 4 and Diablo 2 community forums
Hey, do you have in mind any creative Nercomancer build? It seems to be the only character that lacks variety. Even with the Runewrods, it doesn't seem you can expand the build out of its ordinary skills. I expected at least to find something by searching online but to my surprise there really...
