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 extra movement, attack, and cast speed as well as a generic overall damage boost.

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 us a Guard Skill that we can bind to the left mouse button for easy upkeep. It protects not just us but also our minions, who also receive this buff. The node itself also grants minions extra HP and additional defensive scaling for us.

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 Lunaris Major God to avoid chained projectiles, as I can then completely ignore that modifier on maps when I have an army of minions at my command.

For the minor god, I would recommend Shakari to reduce damage over time taken.
