    The first time I played Diablo II in elementary school back in 2002 or so, my first build is Summon Necro because of how cool it is (also cause my cousin told me how cool it is to kill monsters and raise 'em to fight on my side). Cause back then, there are no games (that I've played) that'd allow the players to do such thing. Really, it brings back alot of memories seeing you play this build.

    With 14 in Skeleton Mastery and 16 in Raise Skeleton, 7 in clay golem, 2 in summon resist, my 6 skeletons survived the Baal fight. No re-summoning required. I kept my level 2 decrepify on Baal and resummoned the Clay Golem about 4 times.
    As Llama says, the slow combo of clay golem and decripify prevents most of Baal’s tricks. He rarely cast his fire nova and the overhead curse a few times. 0 teleport and 0 clones.
    Thank you MrLlama!

    When you get a skill shrine, re-summon your skeletons. They will be stronger due to the increase of skills, and depending on where you are with the skill points, you may temporarily get one extra (which will die when the shrine wears off).

    12:13 They absolutely are. Might merc is what makes summonmancer not terrible. And equipping one with a pride runeword allows the build to comfortably hang with the endgame.
    16:30 For skills on this build is awlways better to first put 3 into raise, then 1 into mastery, then max raise skeleton as soon as possible. The raise skill gives all stats to the summons while also increasing the max skeletons you can have. Mastery only increases stats.
    The only deviation from this is to pick up amp damage just before andariel, summon resist as soon as it's available and decrep just before baal. CE you can pick up anytime, for speedruns probably grabbing it sometime in late act 2 would be best.
    Any other skills beyond that is up to personal preference.

  • @fethend
    @fethend 4 роки тому +2

    I may be super late to comment about this, but... Skeleton increases damage by 7%, Mastery increases by 2. Mastery will be better UNTIL that 7% is a higher increase than 2. So, some basic math!
    2 / .07 = ~28.57. Sountil your skeletons are doing more than 28 damage, it will give you less than 2 damage per rank. Conveniently, they start at 1-2 damage, so 14 ranks would put them at 29-30. So, 14 ranks of Mastery are stronger for pure damage than Raise Skeleton. After that, Raise is slightly ahead of Mastery.
    Personally, I get to where I can sustain 4 skeletons (a comfy level for safety and murder), then get 14 Mastery, then max out Skeletons. Obviously, there is also the benefit of having additional skeletons, with each one providing an effective jump of damage, but... This is just how I am comfy, making strong and durable skeletons first, and then making more of them.

    Here's a trick with the summoner: if your skeles are dragging behind, stuck,etc,then over extend yourself, go like a screen away, and it will pull your minions to you. If you run far enough away, they teleport on you. I just ran all the way to maggot lair 3. Run as far as I can, and if I get stuck, stop and my minions jump on top of me, rinse and repeat.

    Hey Mr Llama, what's up? I never manage to catch your streams, but I've been watching your videos ever since I came back to D2, and I gotta say I appreciate your work a lot. Thanks for everything. I'm not trying to speedrun, but I learned many tips and strategies to improve my gameplay experience. I even manage to recognize some tile pieces now, all thanks to you. I noticed a CRAZY act 3 map that I just had to print screen to show you, but I don't know how to do so (or if you're even interested in seeing it). It's basically a crazy fast black marsh skip, flayer dungeon right off an entrance from the spider forest. If I hadn't been watching you, this gem would've just passed by unnoticed.
    This video of Skelemancer is what my friend and I were waiting for, since we're both traumatized by a Diablo fight back when there were no synergies in the game.
    Sorry for the long post. Hope you're well. Stay hydrated

    Okay. You asked for it!!! I am an old dude. And here is some IMPORTANT stuff I found out recently:
    Toilet-paper gives no real cleanliness when one uses it. Most issues one CAN get (haemorrhoids f.e.) come from using normal T-Paper.
    Using wet T-Paper to clean up completely is not a bad idea...
    But to other issues comes, that the wet paper always takes away some skin when wiping. So the butt becomes... let's say "weakened" - BAD.
    The ONLY way to clean correctly, is to WASH. We all should have bidets. Bidets with toilet-function.

      Wet wipes create needless waste and clog up the sewage systems because they don't degrade. City workers regularly have to go in just to unlodge all the blockages caused by wet wipes.
      Don't use wet wipes. Ever.

      I am German. Maybe our issues with wet-wipes are not as severe as in America... but we all SHOULD be fine, if we don't use more than three wipes at a time - and as rarely as possible.
      (3 Max is to be read on all packages here in Germany.)
      And, what you just replied so correctly, is what I called "other issues" - thank you for clarifying - I should have been more clear.

    Back in the day I remember I came to the conclusion my best bet was to put points 3:1 on Raise:Mastery. Can't remember if I was optimising for damage or life, but I think it was damage.
    Anyway, I just used a skill calculator to test. If calculator is correct, with 15:2 on Raise:Mastery a point in Mastery gives negligibly more damage per skelly. The situation is reversed for life per skelly. And you are further away from getting an additional skelly by putting a point in Mastery. I'm sold on pumping Raise until 20 hard points before putting a 2nd point in Mastery

    • @Benkenobi8118
      @Benkenobi8118 3 роки тому

      you want it the other way around. Basically, you want to optimize your build vs normal Diablo, because he's the hardest challenge. Get your RS to 5 and you want your hard points in this. Everything else in SM. Your skeletons will do better against diablo. Mages aren't a waste, a single point in them are enough. SM + a point in summon resists really help vs Diablo.

    Skeleton Mastery is better than Raise Skeleton in the early game.
    Raise Skeleton stays at 1 to 2 damage until level 8. Even with 7% increased damage per point after the first, that only comes to (1 to 2) * 1.49 = 1.5 to 3 damage.
    4 skeletons total equals 6 to 12 damage combined.
    Skeleton Mastery adds 2 flat damage per level. With 3 in Raise Skeleton and 5 in Skeleton Mastery that equals (1 to 2 + 10) * 1.14 = 12.5 to 13.5 damage.
    3 skeletons total equals 37.5 to 40.5 damage combined.

    This character is the only reason I ever played Diablo 2.
    I tried sorc, barb, amazon but the only characters that sticked with me were the assassin, the druid and the necro.
    Summon druid sucks and cannot beat Diablo unless you overlevel to 30 and try to get him with the bear?
    Summon necro I am lvl 30 at Baal.
    Diablo still remains a roadblock and so does Duriel but you can get them with decrep + frozen mage or act 3 merc.
    Also do not go past 5 skeletons before act 5, you need as much mastery as possible for them to survive duriel and diablo.

    Try bow-mancering your summoner, works like a charm if your ditching your direct damage spells altogether anyhow. (3 chippies in a socketed bow 4tw in act1)
    Also, get a couple % manaleech for virtually infinite CE. Especially fun if you happen to stumble across a Goldstrike or better yet Eagle.
    Brings back the memories man, so many fond memories... Most fun ive had in D2, period. Its genuinely good, as long as you stay away from PI's.
    Btw, avoid cold damage, dont let all those juicy corpses go to waste!

      Freeze effects sometimes shatter the precious corpses, so avoid that, but other than that i tend to be pretty liberal with where i shove my early game gems into. :p

    So summon necro is actually my reset build kinda the first day i rush to nm for access to stuff like lore rhyme spirit insight treachery if i get reset day off work i can do this day 1 normally with decent rng (i farm cows for bases) its really really easy to stack mf on this spec i actually believe it or not mf in hell chaos you can clear the game naked on summon necro with some experience with it so its not mega fast clearing for early chaos but in my personal experience in the first week i can 1. Find really good gear and bases often 2. Have a decent hr drop rate 3. Level really fast 4. Trade up to having things like enigma and beast in the first 2 weeks to farm ubers for torches for further wealth while working a full time job so pretty casual play for hours invested another route you can take is the first weak a 35 fcr spirit sword and pally shield with decent base res even low fcr ones will easily be a um in value you can gear up to hoto and enigma really fast never leaving nightmare just wanted to leave this here as d2r comes out in a month i have followed this route for every reset for 10+ years spirits will always be in demand the first 2 weeks good luck in your adventures

    A year old but this class is heavily skill based and I can understand your distaste for it - it really is well served by spending some time grinding, especially since I would argue normal diablo is the hardest boss fight for it. In hell you can revive a bunch of urdars and murder any boss but in normal, it's made a lot less painful with decent skeletons and decrepify.

    I'm running thru with a Summon Necro now, it's good fun. I didn't put any points in Skeleton mastery till I had 20 pts in raise skeleton, I did get a +2 skele mastery head, so I did have some for a while before I got the full 20 pts.

  • @williamwidmaier6511
    @williamwidmaier6511 4 роки тому +2

    Summon necro always goes slow. I never have trouble leveling because I just let my summons kill everything. I run a lot of MF early because your team allows you to be a little squishy. Your summons get the same MF that you have, so it works out great. I would never be in act 5 at lvl 21, that was crazy. Seems like a problem a normal summoner wouldn't have. Really enjoy all these play along vids though. I've watched them all, and played along with them (except barb that was awful lol).

    Here is what I do with my summoning necro. I max out raise skeletons then I max out skeleton mastery. Also get curses get curses get curses. Get amp damage, also if possible decrepify. Also stay clear of skeleton mages they suck. Also even though this isn't an elemental build but infinity also helps melee because of the - to defense which helps the Skeletons hit the enemies more often.

    I recommend one skill in skeleton mastery early on as that +2 damage is huge goes from 1-2 to 3-4 at instant and even more if you have a few points in raise skeleton. So lv 2 raise->mastery->raise->amplify damage->mass raise.

    Re : Sharks not preferring humans. Think of 8 year old kids. They won't eat new things. A lot of animals, us included, have a very limited diet. Plus, were scarce. They have hardly any opportunity to eat us. We are not like seals who spend most of their time in the water. Plus, the fat humans rarely are active/sporty divers. Fat carries flavour.
    An argument against the pickiness of Sharks can also be made using the shark torpedo-cam. They wanted to capture a recording of a great white shark attack from the depths. They succeeded. I suspect the shark simply used the outline of a shadowy shape above, limned by sunlight, as the target. A la the movie Jaws, with the midnight-lady swimming. So, there's that.

    "It's gonna be a summon necro run." Llama then proceeds to put no points in skeleton mastery which give his skeletons flat damage, effectively having a clay golem with more attack for the rest of the normal run and be carried by corpse explosion.

    Just starting watching you video (at time of this comment I have only watched 5 mins) and Attack rating on raise skeleton is just their chance to hit, you 100% need to pump skeleton mastery especially in mid nightmare onwards on otherwise the skeletons deal little to no damage. Basically all the skeletons damage comes from skeleton mastery

      @KnightmareWraith 4 роки тому +1

      @@smashenYT it has been a very long time since I last played D2 so I can't remember exact skill point assignment but its 3-5 into Skeleton Mastery (when it starts taking 2 or more points for extra Skeletons stop) put 5 -8 points in Skeleton Mastery and then start alternating between putting point into Skeleton Mastery and picking up new skills you want (if you want to be pure summon mancer then you're only putting a few points into curses while everything goes into summon tree) once you max Skeleton Mastery you alternate between Summon Skeleton and Summon Golem/Golem Mastery
      By end of normal Skeleton Mastery should be maxed out and Summon Skeleton should have 10-15 points
