Good Runewords for Summon Necro in Nightmare?
Spirit in a sword (broad/crystal). Great boost to any caster, and the runes are very common. Also, get your act 2 merc an insight. Great damage + mana regen is nice, and the runes are also quite common. More on reddit.com

r/diablo2 on Reddit: Runewords for Necro
September 29, 2021 -

Coming back to D2 after many many years just like many people, except when I was a kid- I had nothing to do with runewords, crafting, etc. After D2 Res launched, my friends and I started some characters, but they quickly fell behind due to time. I have a summon necro @ level 36 in nightmare act 1. Aiming for solo play with occasional times with friends.

What are some recommended runewords and/or crafts for a summon necro through nightmare and hell?

I'm still rocking my stealth, so I'm sure that needs an upgrade. I know there are plenty of websites and videos, but I wanted to hear from those with a firsthand experience. Let me know what you suggest!

Tal+Eth in a body armor for stealth - faster cast rate, faster run walk, poison resist Nef+Lum in a body armor for Smoke - 50 all resists, a chunk of defense, faster hit recovery Ort+Sol in a helmet - 1 to all skills, 30 light resist, 7 reduced physical damage taken Tal+Thul+Ort+Amn in a sword - 2 to all skills, life, mana, faster hit recovery, faster cast rate ^ again in a 4 socket shield for the same stats and additional fire, light, poison resist. Can only be made in monarch shield for non Paladins, which can be hard to come by in hell difficulty Ral+Tir+Tal+Sol in polearm - strong mercenary weapon with meditation aura to fix your mana There aren’t a lot of other easy runewords, besides maybe white (Dol+Io in wand- try to find one with necromancer skills you like, but this is more positioned toward a bone spellcaster necromancer). Obedience is another strong mercenary weapon that can be made for relatively cheap runes you can find yourself, but the elite, Eth, 5 socket polearm may be hard to come across (Larzuk should add 5 sockets to an ethereal thresher, but you may need to verify that by cross referencing where the polearm dropped). Make sure runewords are made from gray text color items with # of sockets = # of runes in runeword
