Necromancer - Melee / Commandomancer - Optimized

Build Overview

This Optimized Commandomancer equips a Beast Berserker Axe alongside a summoned army. Chains of Honor, Homunculus and the listed melee gear support a Necromancer who can join his minions in combat. Includes the exact character and mercenary equipment, with a level-90 summoning and bone-defense skill plan.

Pros

• Beast supplies Fanaticism while the Necromancer and summons fight together.
• Summons, curses and Corpse Explosion offer support beyond personal melee attacks.

Cons

• Melee exposure and army positioning require care.
• Life Tap can replace the chosen curse, and the kit has no Teleport item.

How To Play

Use Call to Arms / Spirit for Battle Command and Battle Orders, then return to Beast / Homunculus. Raise your army from available corpses, cast Bone Armor and keep the Beast axe equipped for its Fanaticism aura. Use a Might Act II mercenary with the listed Insight equipment for physical support and mana regeneration. Cast Amplify Damage for susceptible physical targets or choose a defensive curse when needed, then use Corpse Explosion once bodies are available. Dracul's Grasp can replace the active curse with Life Tap when your melee hits trigger it; recast the desired curse rather than assuming both remain active. Beast also grants Werebear: if you choose to transform, cast support spells first and return to human form to cast again. Watch attack rating, life and weapon durability. This kit has no Teleport item, so allow time to regroup your army and avoid charging ahead alone.
