Necromancer skill calculator

Hi everybody, using diablo2.io skill calculator, seems that summon get +resist all from

Summon Resist only via hard points spent, not +skill. This is right? Game works like this? Thanks!!

Its a passive skill, so all your +skills work for it. Seems to be working fine for me btw (1 hard point, lvl17

Summon Resist is +64). If you change a value, you need to click "resummon" on the calculation tab.

thanks for answering, but are you using the diablo2.io skill calculator?

Sry, I've used maxroll. d2io skill calculator works just like you've described. Still, it's a passive skill and all your +skills works for it.

okay cause I wondered why my summons would get dispatched so fast by diablo despite all the+skills I got (1 hard point

Summon Resist). Then I find this diablo2.io calculator, and my suspicions grew stronger. But maybe the +skill works for the synergy, as you said and verified on another tool. Might be my impression, still I am tempted to put some hard points into it anyway just to be sure:D. Thanks

Act bosses do massively increased damage vs summons. If it were me, I'd only put 1 point wonder into

Summon Resist (which is what I have on my HCL necro).

Unless youre a dedicated Summoner necro with lots of hard points into

Raise Skeleton +

Skeleton Mastery your skellies are basically just a damage soak to help with your own survivability vs dangerous mobs. Revives are quite abit tankier but it can be tricky working with the time limit.

If you have 1 point wonder into

Revive and enough +skills to get up to at least 4-5, I'd suggest going to

River of Flame and get some Urdars as revives (only monster in the game btw that can proc Crushing Blow, 15% in NM and 25% in Hell, so potentially very useful vs bosses). I find they tend to be the front line tanks while the skellies, as mentioned, mostly just serve as a damage soak/support.

Clay Golem with 1 point + 1 point into

Golem Mastery also scales with difficulty and works well when backed up with other summons + your merc.

The

Frenzy Bulls (blood lords) in the Ice cavern levels and WSK also make great revives.

Summons and temporary buff/debuff status are snapshotted when you trigger them, if you change your skills/equipment you need to re-summon/re-apply...

Thanks very much for all the answers.

About necro summon dedicate style, it is very easy against act boss. At least I tried diablo.

The summon things can beat him without stress...

But of course , you cant compete clean speed to

Nova Sorc, or other active attacker.

Damage is just ok. I use it to kill diablo around 1 min, that

Nova sorc probably 20 second.
