My Fire Necro

I found an ethereal Vipermagi and thought I have to do something with it. And the only use case I could imagine was an act 3 merc. So I created a Necro for him.
Vipermagi, Flickering Flame,

Hexfire and

Lidless Wall gives level 35

Enchant. Every

Skeleton gets the buf.

The Necro uses Naj's Ancient Vestige. The full set gives +3 to all and +2 to fire skills, nice resistence and the most important:

Teleport. This is crucial for a summoning Necro. I added Mara, SOJ, Nagel, Arach,

Frostburn and

Marrowwalk. I maxed both masteries and

Fire Golem, put one point in every curse and two points in armor and

Corpse Explosion, five points in

Revive and the rest in skeletons.

With this setup the Necro cruises pretty casual though P1

Terror zones. I use in most cases

Lower Resist. A sunder charm is not necessary which means

Lower Resist is not nerfed. Monsters which are both physical and fire immune require

Amplify Damage.

Skin of the Vipermagi

The Stone of Jordan

Mara's Kaleidoscope

Nagelring

Arachnid Mesh

Bone Armor

where do you get lv 35

Enchant?

He's using an Act 3 Fire Iron Wolf Hireling, they have

Enchant as an innate skill. A level 85 Iron Wolf has level 29

Enchant, and it can be boosted with equipment that grants +X to All Skills or +X to Fire Skills.

I am not sure about it but assumed theres a

Fireball/Meele build for Necro. Hand of Justice and Dragon Armor and Shield Flickering Flame Helmet Trang-Oul's Gloves and

Belt.
Maximum

Fire Golem. Do use

Todesfaelle Flamme for

Enchant. Think about Passion for

Zeal. Or Hand of Justice

Hydra Bow. Spam Fire Balls and

Arrows. Important is the

Holy Fire Aura with the

Fire Golem together with !

Lower Resist ! Should burn.

Edit: Forgot to mention. An Act 2 Mercenary with Infinity is working for this build.

a2, then no

Enchant...fb build...

Is a whole different build. Chose Act 3 Merc for Summoning Skeletons.

The build is theory I will test it later on.

Now this is something special, I like this. I love necro as is but now you just gave me a reason to play it more.

lvl18 unsynergized

Fireball does 172-197 dmg. Assuming you wear a soj, anni, mara, Flickering Flame, and use

Battle Command to increase it to lvl26, it is still only 293-326 dmg (so 586-652 against mobs with -100 fire res).

lvl44 unsynergized

Holy Fire (hoj 1 handed weapon and 2 dragons) does 124-147 pulse dmg (double it for mobs with -100 fire res) and gives 741-882 fire dmg to your attacks (double it for mobs with -100 fire res)

compare this to any semi decent fire sorc (~30 times higher

Fireball dmg) or paladin (6.2 times higher aura dmg + a useful melee attack + lvl25

Conviction on all the time) and you will see why fb/

Holy Fire necro is not a thing.

I'll show my results after rushing a Necro.
I know

Fireball is a bit Off-Meta. I thought of

Magefist etc.

Nice to see another interesting niche build! Good job, he looks very cool
