Ascendancy

Necromancer doesn’t provide us with much free will outside of the very last ascendancy node, which is essentially a decision between damage and better defense. It’s important to note that the defensive option helps your utility minions stay alive, which ultimately provides a lot more damage output than if you had selected the damage option.

My Preferred Set-up

The ascendancy nodes are listed in order of importance and tied to the way you need to travel to access them.

  1. Commander of Darkness
  2. Mindless Aggression
  3. Mistress of Sacrifice
  4. Bone Barrier

Commander of Darkness

Commander of Darkness provides our minions and us with Elemental Resistance, as well as Attack Speed, Cast Speed, and a generic Damage Increase.

Mindless Aggression

Mindless Aggression provides minions with raw extra damage.

Mistress of Sacrifice

Mistress of Sacrifice allows for Offering skills to affect you as well. Since we’ll be using Bone Offering Bone Offering this provides us with a crazy amount of block chance.

Bone Barrier

Bone Barrier grants our minions a massive amount of Health as Energy Shield. It also grants us physical damage reduction and damage from our minions leeched to us as life.

Bandits

As with most summoner builds, you will kill all of the bandits, as they provide no significant gains worthy of sacrificing the skill points.

Pantheon Powers

As in most builds, Pantheon selection comes down to a matter of personal taste. I love adding the upgraded Brine King God to avoid being frozen and grant extra recovery.

For the minor god, I would recommend Abberath to negate burning ground.
