r/diablo2resurrected

Been playing a Necro with a rule: summons only, no Corpse Explosion, no attack skills, and I do no damage myself. The idea is to let the army fight and stack support through auras and aura-like area effects.

Setup:

• Raise Skeleton, Skeletal Mage and Revive for the army (~50 minions fully summoned, and that's not even the cap)
• Iron Golem as a support piece, with Crushing Blow gear on it (I keep every CB item I find, or make a cheap CB runeword for it)
• Bone Armor for a bit of survivability
• Act 1 Rogue merc, the cornerstone of the build

The support is the fun part:

• Amplify Damage as my only curse.
• Rogue's Inner Sight. Comes down to only ~10% indirect damage boost in hell, but the radius is huge, so nearly everything the army attacks gets it.
• Heart of Wolverine from the Wisp Projector for the skeletons. I have one coming in via trade but not tested, yet.
• Planned: Mist on the Rogue (Concentration), Bramble on the Rogue (Thorns), Inner Sight on top.
• Infinity would be great, but it's far out of budget.

Reality check: I'm broke. Right now the Rogue has Edge, I'm on the edge of affording Mist via trading, but Bramble and Infinity are out of reach. So I can't even test the final form yet, but it already feels solid with only Edge on the Rouge.

It's an easy build to play. Definitely not a 100k-damage build like Javazon, Tesladin or Mosaic, but I think it's perfectly viable. The downside is that every new game starts as Necro + Rogue + Golem, and then you spend a while summoning the other 47.

What do you think? Any support tricks I'm missing? Would you do anything different with the gear?

I'm planning a short video showing how the army looks in action.

Edit: I was able to trade Mist (level 9 Concentration) for an Ist. I replaced Edge with Mist on the Rouge and did one Chaos run. Good news: Range from lvl 9 has enough reach. But the start with just Rouge and Iron Golem seems a bit smoother with Thorns from edge then with just Concentration from Mist. Later on it was roughly the same feeling. Of course, one run is not enough to judge this. Next step is to have Concentration and Thorns on Rouge. And add Heart of Wolverine from Wisp Protector.

Hi together,

I played diable 2 alot in my teenage years, but i was never good at it (never finished hell).

I think about restart the game. Which build would you recommend, thats good to play even through hell and doesnt need extremely rare gear/runes?

Hi! I dont really know what to tag this as, but since none of my friends currently play this game or did so when they were young i'm searching for 1-2 players, preferably on EU to play this game with me like we used to play it as kids. Not any more of that silly trading stuff! I'm talking a good and chill playthrough together. I'm down for everything from a normal playthrough to maybe a challenge run with some fun restrictions.

I am going to try out Ubers for the second time on budget WW barb. The first time i had to yield after killing Meph because I couldnt hit Baal for shit. I improved my AR now and I am sitting at around 11.2K and wondering if it is enough to hit this MFer now?

Did DClone an hour ago and it was only showing 61% hit chance so dunno...
