I have similar one on non ladder but I swap on king leoric, darkforce +3 summon skill amulet and helmet and bk rings and summons skeletons @pindleskin. then I change gear.. It takes maybe 1 min or something.
How did you get 4k life? it is really alot of life on a summoner. mine has 2.5 and maxblock. I used to have 3k with the same gear as you use.

Great guide. I am following it on my first summoning necro. the summoner was my first d2 character way back when, but I was on 56k and it was too laggy for me.

I have one question though.. would it be good to put one point into bone shield? I know you don't take any damage, but it would be worth investing one point, (~17ish with all gear) to have a high lvl shield...

anyway thanks again.

There's no reason you can't, with the left over skills you can do whatever you want. I suggest summon resist, but you can put one in bone armor, or some into golem mastery, etc. :|

I like it

if you repost though, you should change the skill descriptions to just your take on the skills, it will be easier to read that way.
also, i'd say sojs>bks, but thats just personal preference really

I have 700 mana without any kind of mana% buffs on using beast for my weapon, and I use an insight golem which i tend to make from high end insights so I pretty much don't run out of manas. :banana:

ahh, nvm about the sojs,
yeh, biggest thing would just be making the guide easier to read.

thanks for the response!

couple more quick questions:

1) If I get BK rings, do I get LL from my minions hitting?
2) Does my MF affect the minions? Like if I kill Meph, technically the minions are killing him... but my MF will sitll be used on the items, right?

ok thanks!

Quick Question:

Wouldn't you gain quite a bit of usefulness by using an arm of king leoric (or anything similar) while summoning the skeletons and then switching back to beast?

Seems like the extra +5 (or +6 if you get a magic +3 summoning skill, +3 SM +3RS wand) would be quite awesome to me.

I use it to prebuff when i do uber runs.
Yes, it helps. However in normal play it takes too long to prebuff then go back, there's no reason to.

Is there another type of ammy that would be superior to the maras?

I need the +2 skills, but I don't think the resists are going to be extremely helpful... besides looking for a rare with +2 skills and some resist, what other stats would be ideal for this build?
