I've always liked making a necro that summons a large army, but I'm kinda new so I'm not entirely sure how to do it. So far I'm thinking:

20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Death Knight
20 Raise Skeleton
20 Corpse Explosion
20 Summon Flying Sword
1 in all curses

That or I was thinking:

20 Skeleton Mastery
20 Death Knight
15 Clay Golem
15 Golem Mastery
20 Raise Skeleton
1 Corpse Explosion
10 Summon Flying Sword
1 in all curses

The thing is I'm thinking that the death knight should be a suitable replacement for a tank from normal D2, so I shouldn't need the golem. Of course I'm basing this on the assumption that the max lvl is 100 and thus there would be 112 skill points. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

max lvl is now 101.

builds look ok but u got to remember act 1 physical merc have now been nerfed and although can still gain almost same amount of damage her radius for damage is serious lowered,

so a summoner build is knocked back abit to a slower class and during boss fights you will be just an amp bitch as all summons will just instantly die.

i prefer to hybrid a summoner as the two types of damage dealing necro's either bones or poison are only 60 point builds that leaves quite a few points to invest in some summons.

regards

So if I were to make a Bone/Summoner what would the skill build be instead?

i prefer poison over bones, they both got good points and bad points really,
bones are quite good for trash killing although can be a bit slow late a5 hell but still become just an amper for bosses.

poison on the other have is imo a better build slightly slower trash killing but probably the most affective boss killer in the game.

my build at moment is going to be

the 60 for poison
20 blades ( cause they are useful for boss spotting) some will differ there as 20 point blades are not much better then 1 point but i feel as the little extra life they get is worth it to last that little bit longer.

rest in
curses - none in left hand side then all the way down to lower res
1 point what ever summons you want either skellys or golems
remainder points in to that mastery

summons are only really ur meat shields for trash while you and ur merc deal the damage

not sure yet if marrowwalk boots are still the same or not.
if so then it will be
1 point bone armor
1 bone wall
1 teeth
1 corpse explosion
