查看“︁Guide:Starter Summon Necromancer Skeleton Mages + Revives”︁的源代码

== Viability / Purpose of the Build ==
Pretty much the easiest and best starter necromancer summoner with little to no gear requirements. After campaign you can farm all the usual areas.<br>

== Skills ==
Max [[Skeleton Mastery]] until you can start [[Raise Skeletal Mage|Skeletal Mages]] then max those. Put 10 points into [[Curse Mastery]] and 1 point in the [[Curses]] as show below, then max [[Revive|Revives]].<br>
Rest of the skills can be put into [[Blood Warp]], [[Lower Resist]] or [[Blood Golem|Blood Golems]].

== Attributes ==
Get as much str/dex as you need for gear, the rest into vitality. You can prepare the stats for the [[Polearms#Grim's_Burning_Dead|Grim's Burning Dead]], get 70str/70dex. [[Boots#Marrowwalk|Marrowwalk]] require 118 str, so if you want both go for 118str/70 dex.

== Gear ==
For summons its basically all about the +skills so get as many as you can. Season 12 added FCR on Large Charms, use these to get the needed FCR breakpoints early.<br>
<br>
+3 Summoning Skills (Golemlord’s) Items can be shopped and at level 60. Gambling +3 skill items can be done starting level 65 (because of the possible -5 ilevel).

=== Early Game Gear ===
Shop for +3 summon wand, gamble for +3 summon amulet, find a +3 summon necro head.  Can also make a [[Splendor]] in necro head with +3 mages. Make a [[Lore]] helmet for another +1 and start gambling circlets for +3.<br>
Best spots to find these bases is big density areas like cows or flayer jungle. Preferably no MF and a low filter strictness.<br>

=== Mid Game Gear ===
Then farm until you can afford (or find) a [[Polearms#Grim's_Burning_Dead|Grim's Burning Dead]] for 6 extra Skeleton mages. This makes the  build ready for pretty much everything.<br>
Other gear to lookout for, cheap but good are [[Gloves#Gravepalm|Gravepalm]], [[Boots#Marrowwalk|Marrowwalk]], [[Elite#Trang-Oul's_Scales|Trangs armor]].<br>

== Mercenary ==
For merc get an [[Mercenary_Skills#Cold_2|A3 cold merc]] with a [[Spirit (Shield)|Spirit paladin shield]] and [[Spirit (Weapon)|Spirit sword]], or [[Neophyte|Neophyte scepter]], [[RWChests#Stealth|stealth]] runeword armor and random 10fcr belt/gloves to at least hit 86fcr on him.

== Leveling ==
Get a dagger with [[Poison Strike]] and stab things until level 12 while putting points into [[Skeleton Mastery]] until level 12, start maxing [[Raise Skeletal Mage|Skeleton mages]] after that and let them do the work.<br>
This build works for SC and HC, for HC it's recommend going the [[Blood Golem]] route instead of [[Revive|Revives]].

== Farming ==
You can farm Pits, Stony Tomb, Arcane, Chaos and Shenk & Eldritch, get that Grims Burning Scythe asap.<br>
While farming look out for gear that makes faster builds possible, [[Bone Spear]] for Chaos or [[Corpse Explosion]] in T1 maps.

== Tips ==
For revives, there are a few options but the easiest one is to go to the A3 Travi WP .. cast desecrate and get the vampire lords. They shoot Fireballs and Meteors, keep them at a distance and they will be good.

== Patch Notes/Changelog ==
Updated for Season 12<br>
Removed scepter insight suggestion as insight can no longer be made in scepters in S11<br>
Updated for Season 11 and added 2 video links<br>
Created for Season 10

== Acknowledgments ==
