Kill Diablo and Baal with Necromancer Summons: equipment, gameplay and skills to kill them level 30 then 35!
Preamble, assessment of the event Choose my next build
Many of you participated and I thank you! Glad to see this vent got you over. So there will soon be a second event of this type where you can again vote for your build! Since I have already proposed a build for the Necromancer Summons (without mounting the character), I suggest you help you on the blocking point very often returned in the comments, how to kill Diablo and Baal in normal.
Diablo, gear and skills at level 30
It is very interesting to go and kill Diablo only from level 28, because the items giving skills are often 27+.
For the equipment, choose anything that will give bonus skills, to have + 3 skills if possible, here is what you can use:
- magic wand / rare with skills or Ume's Lament, required level 28
- Sigon or magic shield / rare preserved head
- Lore helmet (runic word), required level 27
- Rune word Insight base Vouge on your mercenary defense aura, required level 27
- the rest of your gear doesn't really matter, I had some Sigon leftovers but it's incidental
I personally had +3 skills that allow you to kill Diablo very easily.
For skills:
- max Skeletons
- 1 point Mage Skeletons, Clay Golem, Resistance Golem and Summons
- 1 point Amplify and Balance of Life
- the rest in Skeleton Mastery
To note on the skills:
- Always use Life Balance on tough enemies and bosses, as well as before facing Diablo, to make sure your summons are fully alive
- I am not using Resuscitate yet in order to have enough in my Skeletons
Remember to do the quests giving 4 skill points!
My level 30 Necromancer skills for Diablo
Baal, gear and skills at level 35
The equipment remains the same, except a Stealth armor on the mercenary so that he dies less.
For skills:
- max Skeletons
- 1 point Mage Skeletons, Clay Golem, Resistance Golem and Summons
- 1 point Amplify and Balance of Life
- 1 point in Resuscitate
- 1 point in Corpse Explosion
- the rest in Skeleton Mastery
For Baal, I advise you to take a City Portal as soon as he teleports, in order to reappear on his head. Your summons will die if they don't hit!
