At first, Skeleton Warriors might seem brittle, but they scale extremely well with Skill Points - On a well-geared leveled-up character, they can soak up unbelievable amounts of damage (even Ubers have problems with them.). These are the 'vanilla' Skeletons that will fight monsters in melee, making enemies less likely to damage you. Raise Skeleton Warrior - Rises a Skeleton Warrior to fight for you, from a corpse of a fallen enemy.This Skill Tree will let you create your own undead army that will obey your every command (especially after the recent AI improvements). This is the core Skill Tree of this Build. Energy - Adding points to Energy is an extreme waste - don't do it.Vitality - You should put all your remaining points here - main stat.Dexterity - Get enough Dex for your gear unless you can achieve max block by spending some more points on it (this will mostly depend on your gear, however).Strength - All you want, in terms of Strength, is enough of it to equip everything you will want to use on your character.You rely on Summons to do pretty much everything You can also check our other Best Project Diablo 2 Builds

If you're looking for a low-effort, cheap to gear up (you can run this build on a budget, no problem) farming build, it should meet your requirements. It also offers very good mobility with Vigor merc and Blood Warp so its clear speeds are solid. The build offers a very safe and chill experience which makes it great for those of you who need a break from the always-on-the-edge exciting builds. This version of the pSkelemancer Necro Build is fully capable of solo clearing high-end content without putting too much effort into it - your Skeletons will take care of pretty much everything. While they might look brittle at first glance (just like Druid's Wolves), they are actually very durable and extremely dependable - once you summon them, you don't have much to do, except casting Amplify Damage and relocating, as they simply won't die (they will, occasionally, but you get the point).

All jokes aside, Necromancer's Summoning Spells Skill Tree is one of the strongest in the game and it lets you build a plethora of different builds. Let's face it, Summon Necromancers are the real Necromancers, and sending an undead army to fight your battles while you chill out (and get bored) in the back is the true Necro way.
