The Summoner Necro is a classic from Diablo 2. He takes advantage of his mind control abilities to forge an army of creatures but also uses his curses to defeat his enemies. It is a very safe build and easy to play. Few monsters will come to you since your army will serve as immense protection. Well equipped, you can defeat absolutely anyone while being relatively passive. Enjoying a totally crazy survival, you also have access to several types of damage and a big DPS. On the other hand, you will have to find good equipment and you will have trouble leveling at the beginning of the game.

The Bone Necro is a great classic of Diablo 2, especially because it takes advantage of magical damage that is effective against the majority of enemies (Bone Spear, Morbid Explosion). He enjoys good survival with Bone Armor and Bone Prison. In addition, it does not require crazy equipment to be effective. Easy to play for beginners, it requires to be fast and will not be as effective as other builds at a very high level.

Here is a build very dependent on the equipment you will provide it. On the other hand, once well equipped, he will be able to overcome huge packs of monsters on his own. With the right combination of skills (to be homogeneous) and powerful objects, it is one of the most powerful builds in PvE. The amplification of damage and the reduction of resistances will help you clean up just about any area of the game. Very effective in dense areas, it is one of the best builds. On the other hand, it is more difficult to master for a beginner and will have a lot of trouble killing bosses.

This Necro relies on the Corpse Explosion to massacre his enemies. Your mercenaries and servants will start by accumulating a few corpses on which you can rely for the rest of the operations. A lot of AoE and physical damage in perspective, this is a great build to farm the Cow Level or areas with a high density of enemies. He enjoys excellent survival and will make a good support class in a group. On the other hand, it is not one of the best builds and requires a lot of monsters to take advantage of it.
