I think in the end game, the necro skeletons (skeleton, mages, and revives) are lagging behind the vanilla necromancers summons in terms of health and damage. Especially because on recent patch the health and physical resistance of the grim dawn skeletons were buffed.
I love the revenant revives though, great touch.
Have you considered a minion health regeneration skill? Im classic necro/necro dual class, and I lose out on “blood of dreeg” from cabalist class, which VERY much helps survivability of the skeletons. In end game, I feel like they get wiped out WAY too easily.
Thanks.
I’ll tuned c.necro pets when i have free time for next uptade, but I still don’t wantmake 1 to 1 copy of GD skeletons.
What about regen, I think i can add it to passives. Also try use life Tap curse for pets’ life leech.
I understand that you don’t want to make 1:1 for GD necromancer. They just need a little boost from what they are.
I think the passive or life tap for pets life leech is a great idea.
Thank you for all your work. I’ve played necro mods on tons and tons of games, and this is one by far is the best to me. Message me your paypal, I want to send small donation
Any thoughts on giving the revives for the necromancer an additional ability to set them apart from regular melee skeletons? As it stands, they cost alot more mana, have some more health, and a little bit more damage.
I don’t know if you can implement, like a splash melee attack, or a taunt ability so they draw aggro, or something to distinguish them from regular melee skeleton, and the GD necromancer revenants.
Another bump to ask to buff this mods melee skeletons and revenants for end game. I’m in the 90s, and the melee skeletons for the mod do about half the damage as classic grim dawn skeletons. The fire modifier is an interesting idea but for my own builds I don’t use fire so it really doesn’t help. I think part of the discrepancy is there are few end game grim dawn gear that adds all +1 skills, whereas there are alot that add +1 to GD necromancer skeletons so their level is much higher than this mods skeletons, making them do much more damage.
Also would love the revenants to have a special ability that makes them different.
Thanks again. Mod development gos hery slow, but just yesterday i touched skeletons and add special attack to revenents. Fire transmuter is alternative option, based on wishes to use skill icon. What about itemisation, it still planned big item update,but notsure it will add more 75+lvl items.
WITHOUT gear, with all maxed modifiers, your regular skeletons are very similar to grim dawn skeleton skill.
WITH gear, with raise skeleton 24/16, undead legion 17/12, will of crypt 12/12 , and your skeletons with max 16/16 and max 12/12 skeleton mastery, your skeletons do ~25% to ~40% less damage depending on the type of skeleton. But as you see, I have high level grim dawn skeletons.
I really like the changes to revenant. They feel much more unique and powerful. Now they feel much different than skeletons. I really like the taunt ability and cleave attack.
I just had time to do an hour or so testing on the target dummies in town. Over next few days I will play some campaign and give you my thoughts.
Overall, fantastic job. If you want me to donate to you for your great effort, send me paypal information! It is worth it to me.,
I tried out the fire transmuter for skeletons. Definitely increases the damage to comparable to grim dawn skeletons, but I’m not a huge fan of the fire animation so I choose not too. Without the fire transmuter skeletons are still ~25%-40% weaker with end game gear lvl 94 gear
edit:currently testing life tap on pets. Seems to work very well for keeping them up. I may even spec out of certain devotions
Any chance of removing the visual aura around blood golem. I like the new model, but on very high particles, the aura animations of the blood golem is HUUUUUUGEE and really distracting and quite frankly looks terrible
Technical build contain only phys. sceletons buff, fire sceletons have old damage scaling. Principal difference are that phys dmg reduced not only by resist but also armor each enemy have.
Thanks for your great work. My only other suggestion for skeletons is to change fire transmuter to another element such as vitality damage , only because d2 did not have fire damage on skeletons. Same goes for revenant, for their special attack, may be better to be vitality damage. This way, they can benefit from vitality damage buffs from grim dawn necromancer “master of death.” Otherwise, these need to be boosted with +fire damage or decrease fire resistance which is not entirely consistent with d2.
