| Class | Necromancer |
|---|---|
| Build Type | Necromancer - Bow Necromancer - Early Ladder |
| Main Skills | Normal crossbow attack, triggered Bone Spear, Amplify Damage, Attract, Bone Armor |
| Skill Target | Level 85, all 12 quest skill points |
This level 85 Brand Bow Necromancer combines normal crossbow attacks with Brand's triggered level 18 Bone Spear. Four maxed hard-point synergies support the proc, while an Act I Faith mercenary supplies Fanaticism. The package includes one Stormshield to consume when creating Iron Golem. This is a specialist ranged setup with low Hell resistances, rather than a resistance-capped defensive kit. Hardcore is unavailable.
Summon Iron Golem from the included Stormshield and keep Bone Armor active. The shield is consumed by the summon; it is not equipped alongside the two-handed crossbow. Fire normal crossbow attacks to trigger Brand's Bone Spears, staying near the Faith mercenary for Fanaticism. Hard points in Teeth, Bone Wall, Bone Prison and Bone Spirit improve the proc through synergies. Extra skill levels do not raise the weapon's fixed level 18 Bone Spear proc. Use Attract to occupy a selected monster, Amplify Damage on nearby physical targets, and Dim Vision when ranged control takes priority. Bone Wall and Bone Prison help hold enemies away from your firing position; Corpse Explosion is a follow-up when corpses and mana are available. Keep potions available for casting. Maintain distance and check your Hell resistances before choosing an area. This kit does not include Teleport, an external Enchant buff, fixed attack frames or an Uber claim. If the golem dies or is lost, creating another requires another suitable metal item; replacement shields are not included.
