Ive got a big problem, I’ve got the sentiments that i have tons of spells to bind
I have to raise skeleton, briathorn, Blight fiend if they die (Act 3 normal Skeleton die a lot. but maybe its because for the moment i didn’t up my spells to max, ive just put one point on each spells i want.the others die on boss)
Reap spirit on LM while ED on RM.
Call of the graves when of CD.
Refresh wendigo and Swarm.
My Keyboard is like this (AZERTY + moba basic binding) :
A Devouring swarm
Z Wendigo
E Call of the graves
R Skeletons
D Briarthorn
F Blight
3 Health
4 Mana
2 order attack of my army
LM RM Reap + ED
In general, i Reap spirit then wendigo where my minions are. I ED until the Summon of Reap Spirit is dead. And i call of when i need to speed up the battle. (and i reraise minions)
It’s a bit too much no ?
Any idea on how to improve my build ? any idea on devotion i should focus on ?
Oh and what is the real Exclusive skill to use between master of death and primal bound ?
What are the skills in my current build that are worth upping more ?
For the moment i haven’t died, but i’m still in the beginning of act 3 in normal.
Start by picking an ability and maxing it out - a maxed out ability is gonna be waaaay more useful than 10 1 point abilities in normal mode. Any of them will be fine - maybe max one of the summons first?
Get rid of drain essence and put those points into swarm - you aren’t going to have the space for gear or enough skillpoints to make DE worthwhile if you wanna be pet focused. For DE to work you have to boost it with gear and get a bunch of energy management abilities, which will cut into the points you have for summoning.
For devotions, probably fiend, bysmiel, and mogdrogen would be a good idea. Put the fiend in one of your summons and it’ll summon the fire around it and its damage will go waaaay up from what it’s at with just 1 point.
A pure Necro build will crush normal difficulty. Like the other poster said, you’ve spread your character too thin and you should focus on one specific skill. In fact, I just completed normal difficulty with a Necro build and it was a total breeze, I barely even had to stop to kill monsters. I simply maxed the skeleton line, then maxed Call of the Grave to keep my minions alive. I put 1 point into each Bone Harvest skill(which I attached Shepherd’s Call to) but since you have shaman class already, I would attach Shepherd’s Call to Devouring Swarm and max that skill out while skipping Bone Harvest. From there, you might want to work on Master of Death, Also, keep 1 point into all the passives such as Spectral Binding, Mogdrogen’s Pact, etc. to benefit from any +skill gear you have.
So, my hotkey setup that let me cruise through normal hardcore mode was simply:
1 - Bone Harvest (Devouring Swarm for you)
2 - Call of the Grave
3 - Summon Skeleton
4 - Summon Blight Beast
5 - Tincture of the beast potions (Can buy them from the rovers in act 2 - gives 10 seconds of 100% minion damage - great for bosses)
Left Mouse - Move to
Right Mouse - Pet attack
If you are lacking in gear, I also suggest you craft a Bladesworn Talisman Relic (which lets you dual wield) then farm the Warden in Act 1 and he’ll drop these maces that give +2 skeleton skill and +1 skeleton limit. Farm two of those maces and you’ll end up with +4 skeletons and +2 skeleton limit which should carry you through normal difficulty and most of elite as well if you haven’t found anything better.
