Nice one, necro is i guess the best one character to do it solo. Thats why i made necromancer: to kill ubers. Very good gear, i have no beast, enigma and shaco, but i will get it or die trying.
Hey, I think the summon necro is the second best following the Smiter Paladin (best class to solo ubers). You can also do it with summon necro, just get teleport staff instead of enigma and make sure to equip merc with good open wounds gear (Duress ftw). Good luck!
Honestly just shoot for enigma so you can position your minions teleport is really really important you can rock a wand and the cheap Necro helm and still get decent results
Heavens light plus goblin toes plus guilems face plus fade and stat a zealer with max holy shield to smite life tap bosses. Use zeal and lifesteal to clear monsters. Pure smiter is soooo slow
Well this is probably very fun to run especially for all necro summoner lovers, but there are 2 crucial aspects here in terms of farming optimization: 1. High end gear, Enigma + Beast + CTA, not to mention the rest of your gear, requires lots of HR's which is not exactly easily achievable. 2. You might have taken them down in 1 minute in Tristram, but it clearly took much more time to summon skeletons, run through the portals, do the chaos run, summon minions, I mean that's probably most of the fun part but anybody who's trying to solo fast Uber won't be looking to invest all that amount of time. A smiter paladin is easily achievable with very cheap low end gear and with a teleport staff/amulet all the process won't take more than 5 minutes, allowing you to farm torches without getting to an extreme high level of the game. My smiter has now Grief, nearly perfect Zakarum and stuff like that making things even faster but I started with a black flail and a Aerin Spirit, allowing me to farm my first pala torch without spending anything and trading some decent runes. Despite this, again, that's probably hell fun to play and I'll be doing a summon Necro sooner or later :D

I’ve done ubers in 50 seconds using treachery gface with 15ias jewel and infinity in thresher you still have high crushing blow and with the fana with beast you hit the highest breakpoint having your merc hit insanely fast and infinity makes it so your melee chats hit more often as conviction lowers monsters defense pretty substantially try it out and see how you like it

@@OfficialMyErs I have a budget necro I am leveling for larzuk quest. I use the mages for ubers, simply because they are extra shields which can surround the boss so my mercenary stays at a safe distance. They do little dps but they are useful for surrounding the boss.
@@Skulm Ah I see so just for ubers? Makes sense for meatshielding! I was wondering how budget you could run ubers with one, I understand prob tele staff on swap and revive crushing blows but wondering how optimal necros gear must be 🤔
@@OfficialMyErs great question. I personally suggest Arm of King Leoric for budget since Beast is super high endgame. With Arm of King Leoric you will have more skellies which will also be more powerful. Your merc will not benefit from fanaticism aura as well as your revives so you need to make up for that loss of damage by summoning more skellies + revives. You need a larger pack which will attack slower but the sheer number of minions should yield close enough dps. Duress on merc is a MUST, Guillaume's Face is a MUST. Obedience is really not that expensive that's a MUST for budget. I did one uber with Bonehew even. You want to stack as much CB with IAS. IN summary: If you don't have enigma + beast, focus on +skillers so that you summon a huge army.
Hey thank you for your kind message. The Beast rune words grants fanaticism aura which empowers all of your minions including the merc. The damage it provides is much higher since all your skeletons + merc+ urdar revives will do more damage and attack faster so they can proc crushing blow more. Hope this helps!

Awesome video. Gives me a little hope I have been trying to figure out who is best to try Uber. I don’t want to be a paly like everyone else. So maybe I go back to leveling him my necro. Have A 91 sorc , 85 Amazon and a 78 assassin. Necro is only 45. But maybe it’s time to beef him up. I guess corpse explosion is useless for trying to Uber right? Would it be to much to do poison and bone / some summons ?
Hey nice to see that the vid motivated you to play necro! Imo summon necro is the 2nd best to clear ubers after the smiter pala. Corpse explosion is not completely useless since you can use it to clear Matron's Den and Furnace of Pain. CE helps clear the way to Lilith and Izual besides you can use it for MF runs as well. I would definitely not invest 20 points into CE though. Some people like it that way, I prefer investing in Bone Prison for increasing bone armor absorb and also a bit damage to bone spear. For ubers, I would recommend focusing on summoning since Uber bosses have very high magic resistances. You can still invest a bit on P&B but keep main focus on summoning. Hope this helps!
So does the Beast actually proc Crushing Blow? Or is it coming from the Duress on ur follower? Are Ubers doable without CB? I’ve always just built a Smiter but wonder if sheer DPS could do if.
Beast grants fanaticism which increases attack speed + dmg. More attack speed helps with crushing blow. The merc has duress for open wounds, which prevents uber bosses from self healing. The crushing blow comes from Obedience + Urdar revives. I personally think CB is very important for ubers. This does not mean GG damage cannot do it, it probably can. I just think crushing blow is way more crucial.
@@Skulm i can say its also possible with that little less effort set up: hoto+ rare demonhead 2: cta/spirit. and i went into ubers with standard summon merc i mean: insight,andy and forti so no crushing blow etc. duriel and izu was easy. lilith was little longer as she healed hard but ive done it. in ut i killed diablo but my meph stuck in the house so any tele there didnt give any good effect. hard but possible. i have to try your merc set up. after non uber set up attempt i can say it will be much easier with your build :) thanks
damn... first time I ever felt like makin the leap to make a summoner. I have a beast zerk though.. is that fine? I assume ettin is for low requirements
Does the prevent monster heal proc on the bone spear? I have EXACTLY same build in HC but struggling to kill - they keep healing and then grind skellies out and killing the Merc - and then I have to rebuild again
When you summon the skeletons with arm of king leoric wand, then swap back, you will lose a skeleton but the remaining ones will remain empowered (fully buffed). In addition to this, you add the aura from Beast which adds cumulative DPS to all minions + merc. This results in a great overall DPS increase. In my offhand, I use call to arms + spirit monarch so I use Battle Orders on my myself+merc and minions to improve HP. Beast is highly recommended but alternatively you can try a build which uses Heart of the OAK or Arm of King Leoric wand and just add more minions into the fray. I strongly recommend Beast however you may alternatively swarm uber bosses with more skeletons + revives which should somehow add more dmg. However you need a lot of +summon skiller charms for that alternative to work.
@@matthiaskull9385 I have 2 CTA's so far. First one was 5 Battle Command 1 Battle Orders (worst possible) no joke :D It still gets the job done if you use it in conjunction with a spirit shield.
It is possible as long as you get decent crushing blow stacks but I certainly would not recommend running ubers without beast simply because it has massive contribution.
How is Duriel (or any other prime evil) not one shotting every single one of those skeletons? He keeps swinging and missing? He can kill most players in 1 shot, but he does nothing to a weak minion?
Maxing raise skeleton together with skeleton mastery makes your skeletons very durable, considering you also have +skills gear and charms. They can still get destroyed, but they are pretty durable. Hope this helps!
Yep they are actually surprisingly durable. As you can see, this particular necro has himself a Call to Arms to give them a nice boost in life so they are extra tanky. 🙂
Awesome video. Is this HC? Lost my lvl 87 summoner necro trying to do Ubers. Maxed res and I went in tp and somehow got one shot by Meph. Was playing with my bros and first boss we were fighting was Baal. Couldn’t kill him. Tp back in and my load screen time took forever. I’ll look to build something similar. Thanks for sharing.
My summon necro has been thoroughly ignored since Baal. Been trying to farm up for an enigma (still haven't looted any HRs), been a very long crawl and I'm burning out on the grinds with my Sorc. Necro is my favorite, but all I have to gather my pets with is a staff with tele charges and I lose two skeletons everytime I do (hoto on main). Any advice?
Hey even if you lose skeletons when you switch to tele staff, make sure to summon the most powerful skeletons (use the gear which gives you highest pts in raise skeleton and skeleton mastery), then you can swap. The summoned skeletons will retain their power. Losing 2 skeletons sucks, but you if you can get your hands on Arm of King Leoric wand and a couple of +summon skiller charms you will gain DPS. I wrote this reply since you wanted to exclude high rune gear (Beast, Enigma etc.). For ubers, your main source of damage is your mercenary and revived urdars with their crushing blow. Beast provides fanaticism aura which helps all of your revived urdars to proc more crushing blow. Without beast, you really need to invest in revives so the sheer number of revived urdars make up for the loss of fanaticism aura. Reviving tons of urdars within the span of 3 minutes and getting into ubers may be a challenge, but you can do it. Also remember you have thrashers in kurast bazaar which also work great (as demonstrated in my previous videos). Feel free to ask anything else and good luck!
Summon Necro is like top 2 Ubers killer. Dbrunski also rates him that high btw. His clear speed isn't the greatest by any means but the point of the build is to clear whole dungeons/ areas and leave none alive. Also as a meat shield for like Baal waves. So it's a great support char in that regard too. The key for Necro is Enigma/ teleport charged staff/ teleport charged amulet. Then it really does the damage when you telestomp bosses and elites.
Hey, although Pride is a notable runeword, I personally think Infinity (because it lowers the defence+resistances of enemies and has 40% CB) or Obedience are extremely good for the Summon Necromancer. This does not necessarily mean that Pride is bad, it can definitely be used. However, there are better options.
@@Skulm I meant for the Iron golem (IG) instead of clay golem. Sorry for the misinterpretation. Infinity is 100 percent the best for Merc. Would you ever use pride for an iron golem?
@@nicholastrickel6917 Theoratically speaking Pride on Iron Golem would be very interesting if you have good infinity on merc and beast equipped. Personally, I need 100% guarantee that there won't be any bugs etc which may cause losing the golem.
The problem with uber tristram bosses is that they spawn adds the more they continue to live and in combat. You want a build which can kill them fast before you are overrun with adds all over the place. I strongly suggest you get a Naj Teleport staff instead of enigma. I used it before I got my enigma. Naj teleport staff can easily get the job done. The Urdar revives have Crushing Blow which is essential for killing uber tristram bosses. I strongly suggest you enter uber tristram with at least 8 revives.
You can buy a staff with teleport charges for as little as 20k gold from a vendor. Easiest way to do is with a character just below lvl 24, so you only have to check the red unusable ones in the vendor screen. Would recommend for any summoner makes life so much easier from the start.
I ended up bricking my necro with a poison build stuck at 86 and can't kill jack now really wished I did more research I have some pieces that help me do damage but I can no longer solo even cow levels on hell let alone the first act... a bone spear build would had been a better option or the pet spec that I ended switching out before I went poison.
Uber Tristram was introduced in original D2. You need to farm a total of 9 keys (3x Key of Destruction, 3x Key of Hate and 3x Key of Terror) then open mini uber portals, defeat 3 mini uber bosses, loot 3 organs and finally open a portal to uber tristram.
I use bone spear while waiting for fun, uber bosses have very high magic resistance. I usually use bone spear to kill physical immunes + stone skin mobs during my MF runs. Thank you for the kind message glad you enjoyed the vid!
Btw I kinda prefer infinity because it reduces defenses and both obedience and infinity have huge crushing blow which is great for ubers. Pride is also good ofc.
@@randall197 if it dies tho... huge rip. Idk how it is in D2R but sometimes iron golem just straight up disappears so I never make anything with him more expensive than an insight.
Really nice video! Also saw your previous uber video. I also have a summoner and it was my inspiration for doing an uber. However, it ended in a nightmare. All three bosses spawned almost instantly and I died about a hundred times. The red portal was near yours but as soon as I entered Tristram all three came after me even tough I was carefully about pulling them. How do you manage that only one at a time is spawned? Don‘t have Enigma, Beast, or CtA. Geared with Hoto and Spirit. the rest about the same as you also my merc and was there with Udars. after 2 hours fighting, had to call a Smiter ;)
Hey there, thank you for your kind comment. I have 3 different uber videos with necro gameplay so far. In the first one Mephisto directly attacks me as soon as I enter the uber tristram portal. I made him stuck inside the building. There are patterns but the best possible way to do is to pre-move your cursor up to the screen and move towards north (screen oriented) as soon as you enter. In any event, if you somehow pull all 3, I strongly suggest you kite them away from the portal and preferably isolate them by moving away with a Teleport staff (Naj is excellent if you don't have enigma)
@@Skulm I currently use a caster amulet with teleport as my „budget enigma“. Going to save for better gear. What would you suggest for a must-have and with what priority? first Beast, then CtA? because both are pretty expensive I have to pritize a little :)
@@matthiaskull9385 I would say get a nice +skills +res amulet instead and use a teleport charged staff so you can swap weapons and keep amulet skill pts. You can hold CTA in your cube, apply the buffs then put teleport staff into wep switch for fast travel. I would say Beast should be your top priority. You can follow up by CTA to give more hp + skill pts.
Telestomp with crushing blow revives and a juicy merc, merc with pride/might and you with beast in hand, its a foolproof strat. Ive done it 1000x. No luck necessary.
Level 90 is pretty good and gear is important. At least try to get arm of king leoric wand for more powerful skeletons. Duress runeword on merc is very important for open wounds proc which prevents bosses from self healing. Good luck!
you have too much fcr, could change the amulet or the ring and still have the 75% breakpoint (unless you are using those for the other stats ofc) cool video btw!
Hey thank you for the kind message. Yes some of my FCR is a bit unnecessary but I don't have much options for optimisation since I am also running an MF build :) Great observation though
The merc is usually carefully placed via teleport positioning so he is surrounded by minions for extra layer of skeleton shields. In addition, you can see that I sometimes manually heal him. Merc gear is also extremely important.
Nice build, yet why not max out golem mastery, the clay will have around 40k life, instead of maxing bone prison. The additional damage for the spear is not worth much, just a tickle. Just saying. Otherwise absolute proper build. I play necro since the game came out back in the day....and people did not believe that you can do Uber with a summon necro fast and smooth. Well.....now we are two who know better. ;-) (BTW, since many suggested, Infinity is not much better than obedience, because of the chain lightning after a kill, it becomes a bit chaotic because of it. As stated, just saying. Try it out some time, you will see. Fanaticism, the Urdars and CB and of course positioning are key here, not obedience or infinity.)
Hey great input. Clay golem is already tanky and he can survive almost anything therefore I invested in bone prison + bone wall primarily for bone shield absorb (which helps a lot when you are telestomping) + little bone spear magic dmg for mf runs and against physical immunes etc. I also agree about positioning being the most important rather than infinity vs obedience.
Enigma is such a quality of life improvement but I did my first ubers with Naj's Puzzler teleport staff :) Just need some important gear on merc and on main character then it's all about strategy

@@Skulm i can say its also possible with that little less effort set up: hoto+ rare demonhead 2: cta/spirit. and i went into ubers with standard summon merc i mean: insight,andy and forti so no crushing blow etc. duriel and izu was easy. lilith was little longer as she healed hard but ive done it. in ut i killed diablo but my meph stuck in the house so any tele there didnt give any good effect. hard but possible. i have to try your merc set up. after non uber set up attempt i can say it will be much easier with your build :) thanks
@@maciejjur1905 great job! Congratulations and good luck!
I don’t get why you’re using that Ammy would a 25 res and up MARAS work better ? You’re only getting 6 percent fcr
Hey, didn't have mara back at that time, this is my latest necro wr speedrun: ruclips.net/video/FD27g6ezCC0/видео.html
Blunderbore/big ogre go smash revives are better because of the crushing blow no?
ok I was only part way in the video, you did get them, hurr durr lol
@@KronMastaMax420 Crushing Blow from Urdars and Thrashers are important y :) I ssually save them for the real action in Uber Tristram
Very nice. Wouldn't Infinity be better on the merc though?
I believe so. I am currently farming for it. Got the Ber drop and stashed a 4os eth Thresher in the chest. Just need um and ist.
Necro adamın dibi hacı
Hahaha süper yorum
damn... first time I ever felt like makin the leap to make a summoner. I have a beast zerk though.. is that fine? I assume ettin is for low requirements
Does the prevent monster heal proc on the bone spear? I have EXACTLY same build in HC but struggling to kill - they keep healing and then grind skellies out and killing the Merc - and then I have to rebuild again
It doesn’t. The only source to prevent bosses from healing is using open wounds on the merc (duress armor provides 33% ow).
çok iyi !
Çok teşekkürler :)
Why did you use beast, and any other alternative you can suggest?
Edit: Also what's in your off hand?
When you summon the skeletons with arm of king leoric wand, then swap back, you will lose a skeleton but the remaining ones will remain empowered (fully buffed). In addition to this, you add the aura from Beast which adds cumulative DPS to all minions + merc. This results in a great overall DPS increase. In my offhand, I use call to arms + spirit monarch so I use Battle Orders on my myself+merc and minions to improve HP.
Beast is highly recommended but alternatively you can try a build which uses Heart of the OAK or Arm of King Leoric wand and just add more minions into the fray. I strongly recommend Beast however you may alternatively swarm uber bosses with more skeletons + revives which should somehow add more dmg. However you need a lot of +summon skiller charms for that alternative to work.
@@Skulm How good is your CtA? Also considering this for my off hand, but wondering what minimum stats it should have?
@@matthiaskull9385 I have 2 CTA's so far. First one was 5 Battle Command 1 Battle Orders (worst possible) no joke :D It still gets the job done if you use it in conjunction with a spirit shield.
Where were the shouts coming from? None of the gear gave charges for it.
I have call to arms + spirit shield on weapon switch so I switch weapon, apply the shouts then swap back.
Is it possible to run ubers with a summoner without beast?
It is possible as long as you get decent crushing blow stacks but I certainly would not recommend running ubers without beast simply because it has massive contribution.
that`s a hell of an army :D nice build and nice run! :)
Hey thank you so much :)
How is Duriel (or any other prime evil) not one shotting every single one of those skeletons? He keeps swinging and missing? He can kill most players in 1 shot, but he does nothing to a weak minion?
Maxing raise skeleton together with skeleton mastery makes your skeletons very durable, considering you also have +skills gear and charms. They can still get destroyed, but they are pretty durable. Hope this helps!
Yep they are actually surprisingly durable. As you can see, this particular necro has himself a Call to Arms to give them a nice boost in life so they are extra tanky. 🙂
@@sacred-warrior276 exactly
Awesome video. Is this HC? Lost my lvl 87 summoner necro trying to do Ubers. Maxed res and I went in tp and somehow got one shot by Meph. Was playing with my bros and first boss we were fighting was Baal. Couldn’t kill him. Tp back in and my load screen time took forever. I’ll look to build something similar. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thank you for your kind message. It is definitely not Hardcore :) I play sc. Hope you'll get back into the action soon and good luck!
Love the Doom music.
Glad you loved it :)
My summon necro has been thoroughly ignored since Baal. Been trying to farm up for an enigma (still haven't looted any HRs), been a very long crawl and I'm burning out on the grinds with my Sorc. Necro is my favorite, but all I have to gather my pets with is a staff with tele charges and I lose two skeletons everytime I do (hoto on main).
Any advice?
Hey even if you lose skeletons when you switch to tele staff, make sure to summon the most powerful skeletons (use the gear which gives you highest pts in raise skeleton and skeleton mastery), then you can swap. The summoned skeletons will retain their power. Losing 2 skeletons sucks, but you if you can get your hands on Arm of King Leoric wand and a couple of +summon skiller charms you will gain DPS. I wrote this reply since you wanted to exclude high rune gear (Beast, Enigma etc.).
For ubers, your main source of damage is your mercenary and revived urdars with their crushing blow. Beast provides fanaticism aura which helps all of your revived urdars to proc more crushing blow. Without beast, you really need to invest in revives so the sheer number of revived urdars make up for the loss of fanaticism aura. Reviving tons of urdars within the span of 3 minutes and getting into ubers may be a challenge, but you can do it. Also remember you have thrashers in kurast bazaar which also work great (as demonstrated in my previous videos). Feel free to ask anything else and good luck!
if merc hold insight meditation aura with base might aura and yourself holding beast does all aura stacks?
Yes insight stacks with might/fanaticism. I use these during my MF runs. My merc uses obedience for ubers though.
Never knew necro was this strong, I gave up around nightmare act 2 because it was weak af even with arm of Leoric and humoncolus, etc
Well maybe you can revisit your necro this time.
Summon Necro is like top 2 Ubers killer. Dbrunski also rates him that high btw. His clear speed isn't the greatest by any means but the point of the build is to clear whole dungeons/ areas and leave none alive. Also as a meat shield for like Baal waves. So it's a great support char in that regard too. The key for Necro is Enigma/ teleport charged staff/ teleport charged amulet. Then it really does the damage when you telestomp bosses and elites.
Nice man, necro is my favorite but i been doing nothing but MF with sorc. I need a Ber rune for my enigma. Than a Lo for Fort.
Good luck hope you'll get what you need soon!
Why max bone prison? Didnt see you using it on the bosses
it gives extra life for the bone armor thats why you max it :)
Bone prison is a synergy for bone armor which increases its absord also gives a little bit more dmg to bone spear (for other uses) :)
Whats Your block % and resistance ?
Crushing blow is the majority of damage to Uber bosses?
Merc + Revive Crushing Blows is the majority of damage. Merc is also very important
Would you ever use a pride IG to do this run? Would it help?
Hey, although Pride is a notable runeword, I personally think Infinity (because it lowers the defence+resistances of enemies and has 40% CB) or Obedience are extremely good for the Summon Necromancer. This does not necessarily mean that Pride is bad, it can definitely be used. However, there are better options.
@@Skulm I meant for the Iron golem (IG) instead of clay golem. Sorry for the misinterpretation. Infinity is 100 percent the best for Merc. Would you ever use pride for an iron golem?
@@nicholasboyd3755 I wouldn't. It's too expensive for that. I would only "maybe" use insight on iron golem.
@@Skulm if they ever patch it so the chances of losing your pride to bugs way way down that would be the way to go
@@nicholastrickel6917 Theoratically speaking Pride on Iron Golem would be very interesting if you have good infinity on merc and beast equipped. Personally, I need 100% guarantee that there won't be any bugs etc which may cause losing the golem.
Do you think it’s possible beat Uber without the revives? I won’t have Enigma and revives won’t be effective without it anyway.
The problem with uber tristram bosses is that they spawn adds the more they continue to live and in combat. You want a build which can kill them fast before you are overrun with adds all over the place. I strongly suggest you get a Naj Teleport staff instead of enigma. I used it before I got my enigma. Naj teleport staff can easily get the job done. The Urdar revives have Crushing Blow which is essential for killing uber tristram bosses. I strongly suggest you enter uber tristram with at least 8 revives.
@@Skulm ty for the info
@@attractivegd9531 you are welcome
You can buy a staff with teleport charges for as little as 20k gold from a vendor. Easiest way to do is with a character just below lvl 24, so you only have to check the red unusable ones in the vendor screen. Would recommend for any summoner makes life so much easier from the start.
@@wermagst just found one. 🙏
I ended up bricking my necro with a poison build stuck at 86 and can't kill jack now really wished I did more research I have some pieces that help me do damage but I can no longer solo even cow levels on hell let alone the first act... a bone spear build would had been a better option or the pet spec that I ended switching out before I went poison.
Running same build however I'm running enigma, hoto for my summoner. It's stupid how summoner is.
The AI is the general problem but then again it's a very old game. Could have been the perfect spec to play if there would be improvements.
Great job🔥🔥🔥
Is this a mod or something new that came with the resurrected d2?
Uber Tristram was introduced in original D2. You need to farm a total of 9 keys (3x Key of Destruction, 3x Key of Hate and 3x Key of Terror) then open mini uber portals, defeat 3 mini uber bosses, loot 3 organs and finally open a portal to uber tristram.
i have a feeling your bone spear is doing exactly f@ckall. lol but sweet run bro!
I use bone spear while waiting for fun, uber bosses have very high magic resistance. I usually use bone spear to kill physical immunes + stone skin mobs during my MF runs. Thank you for the kind message glad you enjoyed the vid!
The moment you realize they work for Uber…
Badum tsss
Are these shouts like from the barb?
Call to Arms Runeword which allows you to use Battle Orders, Battle Command etc.
@@Skulm I kinda forgot about it after so many years, thx :D

Impressive!
Beautiful build, nicely done
Hey thank you so much :)
@@Skulm That's the first i'm seeing a hybird of summer\Bone necro
@@orensGT Hope you liked it :) I have always build my necros as hybrid or full pnb.
@@Skulm As in, Summon/poison mix or Summon/bone mix?
You should make a pride runeword for your merc. Run 3x damage auras. Would even clear faster ubers!
Nice suggestion
Pride + Bramble would be cool
Btw I kinda prefer infinity because it reduces defenses and both obedience and infinity have huge crushing blow which is great for ubers. Pride is also good ofc.
Pride has no ED merc will hit like a limp noodle. The better suggestion is to make a pride iron golem :)
@@randall197 if it dies tho... huge rip. Idk how it is in D2R but sometimes iron golem just straight up disappears so I never make anything with him more expensive than an insight.
how do you make duriel to appear in there?
I think it's generated and he has been always in that spot for me (at least for now in D2R).
i like this music alot!
Glad you liked it :) I enjoyed it very much as well
nice, was wandering if my summon necro will be able to go for ubers :D
You can do it! Good luck
When does ladder come out?
Nice video. I'm making the same necro atm :)
how many skill points in each skill u put?
You can see the base skill when I hover over the actual skill 8:10
You don't use corpse explosion?
I use it during mf runs etc but for ubers CE is only useful for clearing some Izzy and Lilith mobs.
@@Skulm so it's kind of a mix of Summoner and Bone necro build? Got any guides to make this build?
Really nice video! Also saw your previous uber video. I also have a summoner and it was my inspiration for doing an uber. However, it ended in a nightmare. All three bosses spawned almost instantly and I died about a hundred times. The red portal was near yours but as soon as I entered Tristram all three came after me even tough I was carefully about pulling them. How do you manage that only one at a time is spawned?
Don‘t have Enigma, Beast, or CtA. Geared with Hoto and Spirit. the rest about the same as you also my merc and was there with Udars. after 2 hours fighting, had to call a Smiter ;)
Summoner necro pre Enigma Beast....is about 1/100th the power Regardless of other gear, CTA is huge as well
Hey there, thank you for your kind comment. I have 3 different uber videos with necro gameplay so far. In the first one Mephisto directly attacks me as soon as I enter the uber tristram portal. I made him stuck inside the building. There are patterns but the best possible way to do is to pre-move your cursor up to the screen and move towards north (screen oriented) as soon as you enter.
In any event, if you somehow pull all 3, I strongly suggest you kite them away from the portal and preferably isolate them by moving away with a Teleport staff (Naj is excellent if you don't have enigma)
@@Skulm I currently use a caster amulet with teleport as my „budget enigma“. Going to save for better gear. What would you suggest for a must-have and with what priority? first Beast, then CtA? because both are pretty expensive I have to pritize a little :)
@@matthiaskull9385 I would say get a nice +skills +res amulet instead and use a teleport charged staff so you can swap weapons and keep amulet skill pts. You can hold CTA in your cube, apply the buffs then put teleport staff into wep switch for fast travel. I would say Beast should be your top priority. You can follow up by CTA to give more hp + skill pts.
Ya najs staff is nice for switch and tele.
Was my main toon and build in lod and this dude got lucky to finish this quick.
Hey there fellow necro. I believe in my strategy :)
Telestomp with crushing blow revives and a juicy merc, merc with pride/might and you with beast in hand, its a foolproof strat. Ive done it 1000x. No luck necessary.
@@KronMastaMax420 Yes 100%
Hmm, I don't see luck here. Only skill and the man knows what he's doing.
This build is awesome, it inspired me to level up my necro. I'm lacking on enigma tho but I think i can manage something out, we'll see.
Hey glad you liked it. You can use a teleport charged staff which you can find from vendor in game. Good luck!

nice clap. i like using Pride on my merc over obedience
Thanks. I've been hearing about Pride. Might test it out in the future (currently farming for infinity)
I want to be that pit lord @6:08.....so many immunity :D
True :)
I’m at lvl 90 rn and can not beat lilith lol i need beast and stuff i guess.
You’re merc though!! The rune word choices confuse me as i am a noob lol
Level 90 is pretty good and gear is important. At least try to get arm of king leoric wand for more powerful skeletons. Duress runeword on merc is very important for open wounds proc which prevents bosses from self healing. Good luck!
@@Skulm Ayyy! i got the arm! running that and homunc
you have too much fcr, could change the amulet or the ring and still have the 75% breakpoint (unless you are using those for the other stats ofc)
cool video btw!
Hey thank you for the kind message. Yes some of my FCR is a bit unnecessary but I don't have much options for optimisation since I am also running an MF build :) Great observation though
Can it be done without.beast?
Yes it can be done without beast. Urdar revives are crucial though.
the music !!
How is your merc surviving
The merc is usually carefully placed via teleport positioning so he is surrounded by minions for extra layer of skeleton shields. In addition, you can see that I sometimes manually heal him. Merc gear is also extremely important.
What's your video setting?
1920x1080 Fullscreen High Graphics
Nice build, yet why not max out golem mastery, the clay will have around 40k life, instead of maxing bone prison. The additional damage for the spear is not worth much, just a tickle. Just saying. Otherwise absolute proper build. I play necro since the game came out back in the day....and people did not believe that you can do Uber with a summon necro fast and smooth. Well.....now we are two who know better. ;-)
(BTW, since many suggested, Infinity is not much better than obedience, because of the chain lightning after a kill, it becomes a bit chaotic because of it. As stated, just saying. Try it out some time, you will see. Fanaticism, the Urdars and CB and of course positioning are key here, not obedience or infinity.)
Hey great input. Clay golem is already tanky and he can survive almost anything therefore I invested in bone prison + bone wall primarily for bone shield absorb (which helps a lot when you are telestomping) + little bone spear magic dmg for mf runs and against physical immunes etc. I also agree about positioning being the most important rather than infinity vs obedience.
Best Necro!
🤘🏻🥂
Can you do it without beast?
Yes, I am planning to release a budget necro uber guide soon.
