I'm for tips, help or theory crafting whats best for my summoner necro.
Want Him ot be tanky, heard use spirit shield n beast or beast n homo, or hoto m spirit and also hoto and homo
I'd like to no form the experienced summoner necro what they think is best.

And Merc.. Act 2 Might with pride?
or Act 1 with faith would let me use hoto but loss might.
Act 5 II heard can be great with Last wish giving might aura, but good but does salvation aura benefit a necro?

Thanks for any tip to nuggets

bump?

My perfect hc setup for all pvm including ubers


Beast BA
Enigma
Spirit 35fcr
CoA (2x LO)
Hotspur boots
Trang Oul gloves
Arach belt
Mara
2x soj


Merc
Infinity tresher
Guillaume (cham)
Eth forti

Iron golem
Pride l20 (any base)

Anni
Torch
7x summon skiller (or full if u dont pick items. I prefer 8 spots and not messing with cube in inv)
1x 5fhr + res charm to hit 86+ fhr. (Coa 30 spirit 55 1x 5fhr for 86+)
Rest lifers+ single or @ to get res to 90-75-85-xx

could it be better ti do iron golem with insight? then do act2 might merc with pride?

I prefer infy on merc for CE and crushing blow and pbysical dmg. Merc hits for 11k dmg and for shit with pride

1k mana with bo and 2x soj. Nn insight.

Pride is one of the worse mercs weapons for a summoner merc. Infy is best. Cheaper options are insight or obedience.

use hoto + spirit
use infy or insight merc
fana and conc is overrated on sums

glhf

Honestly I use beast with spirit.

It's the merc/golem that is preference

I prefer infinity merc with pride golem, other guy was right in my opinion, you don't really need mana.

You can also make a insight Bow now too.

thanks guys, i've usually always gonna hoto spirit but keep see guides for use best and homo and pride merc the iron golem. others say what you have yall stated

Enigma
Spirit 35fcr
Shako, super GG circ or CoA (2x L or 2 ber)
unsure on boots eithr aldurs,hotspur or trex
Trang Oul gloves
Arach belt
Mara
2x soj
or 1xsoj. 1xfcr ring fix using cham in shako
if use um in shako, then raven and soj..

is 75fcr fine for summoners?
if so i should be fine with 2xsoj, no insight and infinity... just hate mana issues

fcr is fine.
I play hardcore so I prefer some form of safety in resistance since I got my army for blocking. Hence the 85light res and 90 fire res.

get yourself 86fhr and 75fcr and you'll be fine.

You could always opt for a 20% Wisp ring so you free up Lo's if you go CoA route. I jjust prefer 2x soj for higher mana (want 1k+). But wisp+Shako works also (i just love CoA for fhr/dmg red and resistance)
