I made a summon necro of Escl, and it maxed raise skele, skele mastery, skele mage and courpse explosion, it killed every monster in sight -.-
I'm not a fan of revives, but I'm sure it's all about how you play.
I'm currently making a summon necro on HC, it's doing well atm, and I'm hoping it won't die ^^
TBH, Max block isn't needed, but max res sure would be nice to have, and lots of life ^^
Mana = nn, can drink pots
