I’ve been looking and looking, but for the life of me I can’t find any Necro builds, are they just not popular or what?!
Are you talking about pure necromancer?
death knight looks pretty cool… this guy has a pretty nice build:
Sadly it’s not in english, but he does post links to the build in the description
Pure solo Necromancer seems more then possible since he has enough pets. Right gear can get you max of 11 skeletons, blight fiend, and 2 more skeletons from items.
I’m sorry, I should have clarified, any combo of the classes that contain Necromancer.
I’m trying to find a build because I’m interested in a pet oriented play style, and I’m very much into Necromancers thanks to the likes of Diablo 2 and The Elder Scrolls.
I was thinking of maybe a Necromancer+Occultist build?
I’m not too familiar with what classes can summon, I’m barely beginning to get in to Grim Dawn.
But I’m a bit hesitant, as I’m not good with numbers and having to apply my own stats coupled with the huge devotion system, I don’t think I’m smart enough for this game lol
Same reason I never really got into Path Of Exile, that massive skill tree and this devotion system in Grim Dawn just freaks me the hell out haha.
Hence why I’m looking for builds for my tiny little mind to comprehend easily what my stat distribution should be, what items/set I should get, what skills should I pick, what devotions should I put points into, etc.
That way I don’t have to be worried the whole time I’m playing, “what if my toon is garbage?” only to hit endgame and realize I messed up his stats/devotions/skills and now I gotta start all over again.
There’s got to be something on the forums…
I’m into spellbinder (necro+arcanist) for insane aether damage. Current build it Panettis + Drain Essence with the transmutation to make it full aether and damage output with all the flat aether buffs, 2500-3000% with the right gear, crowd control and life steal is through the roof, not sure on ultimate survivability but right now at the end of Epic he’s a monster. Preferring Drain Essence to AAR right now cos of lower energy cost and massive life steal with the right items.
Here’s a build calc I through together:

I can absolutely recommend the thread from reapersgaze “Unimaginative Skelemancer Cabalist”. Lots of good stuff in there. Helped me alot
Using Panetti and Drain Essence how you play this build since both are default attack type? I suggest to pick 1 and put points to other cc and survival skill.
I’m testing a Vampire (Cabalist [Necro+Occult]) build. NO PETS. It’s doing wonders and kicking some serious butt. Keep in mind I used only bought stuff (for testing purposes only) and few devotions for health leech etc. SSF should do well on this one and it’s not even optimized. Give it a go. It’s quite energy hungry so keep that in mind (with right equipment surely one can overcome that).
P.S.
Since I’m new here I can’t post links, but here you go:

No pets + full ADTCH build (not Drain essence, instead bone harvest) is really fun for me too. I also am currently leveling and it will ultimate act 5 viable i imagine. My damage skills are Bone harvest, siphon souls and Sigil of Consumption. Debuffs are Spectral Wrath, Ravenous earth, Cof and some devotions. So more than -%100.
