The Summoner Necromancer combines the 2 greatest joys in Diablo 2 Resurrected; vast hordes of undead minions, and exploding entire screens price of monsters having a single click.

In addition to amazing clear potential using the Amplify Damage Corpse ExplosionSummon Necro (Fishymancer) is almost untouchable when encompassed by the multitudes of Summoned Skeletons, trusty Golem, and Revives. While slow to ramp up to its true potential, a completely geared Summoner can clear all content in Diablo 2 from the comfort of the back lines.

While you may enjoy the easy passive gameplay style, the Players searching for more efficiency and challenge can participate in “Tele-Stomping” techniques, bringing the entire weight of the army against high-priority targets and Bosses. Because of this burst potential, the Summoner has access to wide farm areas. Uber farming and Act Boss farming become available when you reach certain gear-quality plateaus.

This build guide assumes you've got a Character at Level 75 before transitioning into it. Check out our Necromancer Leveling Guide and our General Leveling Strategies to reach Level 75.
