When you’ve fielded your maximum amount of minions -which can be bumped up with certain gear modifiers - Raise Skeleton allows you to summon a Skeletal Priest, which provides healing and damage buffs to your shambling army before disappearing. Summoning Skeletal Warriors provide a bony frontline to soak up damage, while the Skeletal Mages you later unlock help dish out some pain of their own.

When that point hits, the Necromancer’s strengths shift from quick clear times to embracing a durability of their own. Beefier Elite-tier monsters eventually become far more common, and even Hell’s lowlier fodder benefits from ballooning health pools that can’t be dismissed with a quick game of poppy-corpse.

With the right skills, Diablo 4‘s six-act campaign and loot-laden dungeons can be tackled on your lonesome - especially if you choose the Necromancer class when creating your character.įor a number of reasons, the Necromancer is a fantastic class for players who prefer to tackle Diablo 4‘s content alone. Luckily, banding up to save Sanctuary is entirely optional. READ MORE: ‘Diablo 4’ review: diary of a necromancer.
A lengthy campaign and generous endgame means Diablo 4 can be a hefty undertaking for even the best class, and if you’re over 20, organising four players’ schedules to tear through Sanctuary together is a Prime Evil in itself.
