weapon: any insight (rune word) i mean any as long as aura is high lvl (15+)

how to play

i have preset
f1 as revives
f2 as teleport
f3 as decrepify
f4 as amplify damage
f5 as lower resist
f6 as fire golem
f7 as skeletal mage
f8 as skeleton

what i do is cast my fire golem in town talk to whoever raises you mana back up, run out side and fight a small group using hireling and fire golem with amplify damage on mobs. when they die raise your skeletons then skeleton mages killing any cold ones because they cause corpses to shatter meaning you dont get revives from them. once you have your skele's start making revives and start using decrepify. remember once you have 10+ minions you must teleport because if you don't they will start to disappear from being left behind .

after you have your army going teleport near some mobs and run 2 steps away from them and your minions will start to unstack and attack them once you have a line of minions between you and them cast your curses and bone spear away. after every fight raise a few revives unless your near flying units or special units(zakarum) then raise them all.

hopes this helps anybody wanting to play a summoning necro if you need any more help feel free to p.m. me on here or send me an e-mail at dungeonlords698@yahoo.com
