r/D2RReimagined on Reddit: Tips for leveling a summoner necromancer
July 30, 2025 -
Hi guys!
I just started to play recently and I am in act 3 normal but my minion have quite hard time to kill monsters even on p1. So far I have invested my points on summon skeleton, skeletal mastery and a bit of skeletal mage.
So far I couldn't find any useful gear for my character. I was wondering if there are some very low level runewords that I can do to improve my clearspeed at least on p1 normal.
Any suggestion is useful. Thank you.

Make a Knowledge rune word in a crystal sword. That will make you level 10% faster. Also a Scout or Lore Helm. Stealth armour. Find a necro off hand with +raise skeleton. Focus your skill points on Raise skeleton first and use amp damage on mobs to help your skeles. Usually even with a summoner I'm just bashing everything myself along with my army until like 25 or so.

Take a Merc act 2 N with Thorn and give him a 3 soket polearm with Hustle (shael+ko+eld) for fanaticism, make an helm with Distortion (ort +thul+ith) for teleport and make a off hand 2 socket with every kind of head necro for terror (Lum+mal) for extra +3 fanaticism (equip the ability on right click for active it)

Summoner is perfectly viable from the get go. Don't need to stress too much about point allocation but focus skeletons and mastery and put a point in amp damage and corpse explosion. Pick up a point in a golem of her choice and decrepify along the way, a few summons can be nice too. A point in summon resist is helpful. Once you've maxed skeletons and mastery it's nice to have a bigger corpse explosion radius, but do whatever is fun you have lots of points to spare with this build. More on reddit.com

January 14, 2023 - When you level for the first time take a point into the Teeth skill, the spell releases multiple teeth in front of the Necromancer dealing damage to the first monster they hit. As the spell gains more levels, both the damage and number of teeth increases making it very powerful in the early game. This will be your main spell up to Level 18, so place points here whenever you can whilst also allocating a single point to Bone Armor and Corpse Explosion in the Poison and Bone tree, Clay Golem in the Summoning tree and Amplify Damage and Iron Maiden in the Curses tree.

June 20, 2022 - These 69 skill points should be seen as the bread and butter of any Summoner. This means that your build is technically complete by level 58. As for the remaining points, there are quite a few options: The first consideration is the radius of your Corpse Explosion – the High Budget build suggested in this guide gives a total of +15 to Necromancer Skills / All Skills from gear, resulting in a 1- yard explosion radius.

First of, i succeeded in life. I got my equally aged gf of 43 hooked to d2r. And we recently started together on a ladder adventure. Myself as a barb, which will be a frenzy barb, and she totally loved being too able to summon minions as a necromancy, when she was picking her first class for a first playthrough. She basically wants to spawn an army, buffing them or debuffing enemies s she goes.
Now i myself use builds on maxrolls.gg. So i pointed her the summoner guide, but that one assumes your character is 75+. And I'm not familiar with necromancer builds since i always play amazons, barbs snd sorcs.
Knowing it's her first playthrough (meaning I don't want to rush her through every act), can you guys name two builds for her necromancer? Such that she can level and later progress through nightmare as much as possible as a pure minion summoning god?
Because the leveling build for necromancer on maxroll.gg totally relies on playing with some teeth shooting skill, that basically the opposite what she wants.
Thank you for reading this poor english writing and hopefully for any good build guides for her.
-Diablo 2 for ever 🙏🏼

I mean you're leveling with her so you are one minion. Put one in amo damage and one in detonate dead, besides that summons like clay golem and skellies. It's otherwise a pretty casual rid. Get spirit ASAP and ancients pledge for leveling norm and nm unless you find better necro stuff
