Poison Nova is the strongest P8 build

Summoner can do P8 but starts to kill very slowly at P3+
CE damage doesn't scale up with higher P-count HP either

But I voted Summoner because that's "the" necro build
If you wanted to have fun hiding behind summons, Necro-Summoner is the one to go
Druid Summoner still blows and it's not even close

If you wanted high damage/aoe pvm, there are stronger and more versatile builds like Nova Sorc, Hammerdin, Javazon etc
Just my 2 cents

Poison necro with maxed block and a fleshripper in inventory to poison dagger the bosses to death. Plenty of attack rating to reliably land hits.

I usually do maxed skelly mastery and rest into revive, but you could just do maxed CE and big clay golem instead. I like revives.

For sure will be infinity merc with insight iron golem, but skele/revive is fair for faster boss dmg or just meat shield, before nova or merc kill one mob.

A bit of both.

The problem with poison is that any damage a monster gets during whatever frame will negate poison damage for that frame, unless this bug has been fixed already.

Not sure. The golem is probably a lot smarter.

Most fun and pvp viable: bone necro
Best allrounder: summoner+ ce
P8 mofo:dweb poison necro

At boss killing, bone necro is the fastest until p3. Afterwards, they all suck at killing act bosses, bone necro just less.

People will tell you that poison is best, but I don’t like having to wait for poison to kill.

If you like summoner go summoner.


How is waiting for summons to kill more slowly better?
