- Zombies, skeletons, ghouls oh my! Get all these and more with a few simple tricks! Even some broken ones as well....
The only caveat to this build is that some of the best necromancy spells in DND are in Xanathar's Guide to Everything and are not currently implemented. Beyond undead PHB necromancy is one of the more weaker schools of magic. However, infinite 6th level blight, blindness, and eyebite, as well as perpetually raising undead means you really don't have to rest in Act 3.
Even if they fix the Cherished Necromancy so that it uses charges and only gains charges with living creatures slain it is still extremely powerful!

I find it hilarious you can free Orpheus, turn him into his most feared monstrosity for the greater good, and then just murder him at the netherbrain. Why go through the effort unless you are roleplaying an asshole, which is a great role play.
Purely opportunistic. Orpheus is significantly more powerful than the emperor in the finale as he gets access to all Illithid powers. (Unless they changed it since release) And I actually got the Orphic Hammer purely by coincidence as I just wanted to beat down Raphael.
@@lexcon4572 ooooooooooohhhhhh, interesting. That’s crazy Orpheus winds up a stronger hentai monster than the little E.
Exactly what I did in my first playthrough.
My Tav was a Lolth-Sworn Drow wizard.
Massacred the Grove, watched Nere kick all the gnomes into lava, accidentally killed Isobel while trying to help the agent from Moonrise kidnap her which ended up destroying the Last Light Inn, allowed Balthazar to take Dame Aylin to Moonrise, made Astarion ascend, betrayed and killed Jaheira when Sarevok asked me to, killed the hollyphant detective, helped Lorroakan capture Dame Aylin, allied with Gortash, took as many Illithid powers as possible because why not, and then finally ; freed Orpheus, let him turn himself into a Mind Flayer, and then backstabbed him at the last moment because seizing control of the cult of the Absolute was my goal from day one.
Of course, I did some good deeds here and there as well.
Well, Orpheus (or his power) is required in order to subjugate the netherbrain. Once that happens and the brain is back under the crown's control, Orpheus is useless and can be disposed of.
@@AeridisArt the Little E can eat Orpheus and take his power. It is not necessary to free him.
Bhaal spawn: "You know, maybe uncle Myrkul was onto something."
What was Myrkul on to? xD
@@Marcusianery he is a necromancer that is why his avatar form kinda made from bones.
@@yusufkaradag8983 I just dont get what he is onto.
@@Marcusianery necromancy.

@@yusufkaradag8983 Right! I get it now. Thank you.
I love watching these evil/asshole playthroughs, and I always think about doing them...until i go up to the first npc and see the evil option and go "But that's mean :("
this game is trash and it does not really matter what you do, you can be a paragon the whole game and then just out of nowhere kill karlah (like in the ending of this video) and become an evil overlord. Such a shame
@@trugoingnowhere sorry but what an incredibly stupid comment. amazing.
It affects a lot tru
why i've never finished a genocide run in undertale
@@trugoingnowhere cringe
like it's ok if you don't like a game, but this logic is flawed. You killed a companion... and complain that the game considers you evil?... This is more of a argument for the game, if anything.
I played a super goody two-shoes the entire game only to backstab Squidpheus at the end and take control of the Netherbrain. Basically I was roleplaying as the neighbourhood serial killer. "He seemed like such a nice person." "He was so charming." "Nobody ever saw this coming."
More like quiet kid
I did this too, but as a Great Old One warlock who outplayed The Emperor at his own game.
Didn't engage in any romance except for The Emperor, explicitly in order to gain his trust.
The idea was that my patron made me uniquely equipped to adapt to the situation. My patron was a hoarder of secrets (I was a book gremlin who stole every secret and forbidden tome I could get my hands on), so my patron was able to help me conceal my true motivations even from someone who could read my thoughts.
It made for some fun role-playing.
Of course the best part was that this didn't even have to be something that would come completely out of left field. I basically shaped my character's actions around the idea that he was largely benevolent because having a benevolent reputation got him RESULTS, and made it easier to manipulate people.
@@leyrua This is something a lot of players in DnD who wanna play psychopaths forget. Dont be violent for the sake of violence. Deception is where it is at. Do what it takes to reach your goal and dont feel guilty about any of it.
@@gathoblaster4329 Yeeeeep.
@@ВладиславБулаев-л3э the "average white man"
I usually go for the Abyss Beckoners in the Zhent hideout because it gives resistance to almost all damage types to your summons at the cost of making them roll to avoid madness, but by a happy accident it seems ghouls are immune to madness
Oh wow, I assumed the madness wasn’t worth it due to the sheer number of undead. If the ghouls are immune then that’s a must have!
Its because the ghouls summoned by Danse Macabre are considered AI-Allies for the purposes of the Abyss Beckoners' madness effect for some reason. They are still summons, as they are affected by the Necromancy Wizard's level 6 feature, but I think the Abyss Beckoners' effect is bugged with summons that are controlled by AI, like the Danse Macabre ghouls are.
it kinda sucks.. I thought it would be one & done for the roll
but NOPE…
every turn they have succeed a roll or turn mad…
ruins the use of the gloves imo
i’d rather have it for other things tbh
such as the absolute bane gloves for my Oathbreaker Paladin + War Cleric + Necromancy Wizard
I ain’t trying to fight my summons dawg..
I got Skele, + Shovel, + Stolen Hook Horror from Myconid Village (Control Undead / O.B. Paladin), + Can summon 2 Ice thingys from scroll of summon minor elemental,
also, fun fact
your summons can coat their weapons, + drink potions, + even drink ELIXIRS!! (My Skele drank a collosus elixer & does 3 forms of damage from bow now.. idk why)
my shovel is running strength elixir for better damage.. but could’ve probable used collosus instead ngl.. same damage imo, if not more
> happy accident
Aren't undead generally immune to mind-affecting effects? Although idk if that's still true in 5e.
@@quint3ssent1a In 5e, most undead aren't immune to them and would take full damage from, say, psychic damage.
Undead are Immune to Charm effects though, as a general rule.
OK, I hadn't thought of using a Mage Hand spell to throw the Necromancy of Thay THROUGH the barred door to you. XD The sheer amount of player freedom and creativity BG3 supports never fails to astound me.
It's also worth using Lae'Zel's Mage hand which is invisible by default to throw the Crystal up from the spiders onto a web platform, then your own mage hand to throw it back your way so you don't need to fight the spiders!
@@avrok Loool!!
But also, the XP! :O
@WolfFireheart can always grab will and Eldritch Blast that big spider off the cliff for easy xp too lmao
@@avrokThen you have to fight it again in the under dark.
it doesnt work anymore@@avrok
Tbh it’s not nearly as broken as many builds out there….. (please don’t nerf the staff it’s working as intended!)
A game like this should tolerate things not necessary being balanced.
The funny part is that, even if the Life Essence mechanic actually worked as intended, it would still be the most unconstested broken staff in the game since you can just farm charges off respawning nameless Flaming Fists who spawn whenever you're caught committing crimes, or just kill the Necromancy of Thay ghouls for charges. And spammable lvl6 spells means usually killing something per cast, which gets you another Life Essence charge, which just enables a self-fulfilling cycle of infinite lvl6 spells.
I feel this works best as a utility build. Infinite crowd-control makes it easier for your heavy-hitters. Rarely ever taking damage because all your enemies are either blinded or asleep. But yeah its not as sexy as sorc-lock, or some of the monk builds you see.
a cleric could kill all zombies easily with spirit guardians
@lexcon4572 that's basically the best way to finish BG1. Surround Sarevok with summoned gnolls and skeletons, then watch as he desperately tries to fend them off while you pelt him with murder spells and arrows.
1) that Mage Hand trick was genius
2) using the music from the Dead Island for a necromancy video was inspired
3:20
I love how your undead troupe walks behind you with shambling gait. Idk if DANCE MACABRE is in the game or not but your entourage clearly fits that theme.
It is
thats actually the spell he unlocks w the book and summons the 5 ghouls with :)
Which got nerfed from 5 to 4 at some point. @@GHOST5800000
the way they raise always makes me think they are about to dance
You can also hero’s feast and aid all your summons with a designated camp buffer doubling/tripling their hp
Which still won't save you in any area where enemies do AOE damage lol. Summons miss alot and do okish damage, even maximizing them and getting the items in Act 3 Necromancy is a middle of the road power build that requires you to do alot of extra work and actions for every fight. Even with the animate dead plus mod. Abjuration Wizard is infinitely more powerful. All the damage and counterspells of a Wizard...but more survivable than even your fighter/barbarian lol.
@@Ralathar44 That's why we counterspell dangerous AOE that can wipe the summons, also most of enemies are humanoids. Just upcast "Hold Person" and let the ghouls 100% hit crit the enemies.
@@epyon6712 still doesn't work. Summons and necromancy are weak early levels. Then when you finally get high enough to have hold person, counterspell, and enough spell slots for summons you're about to hit Act 3 where like half the AOE thrown at you is construct attacks, bombs, dragons, etc and not able to be counterspelled with high saves.
Hold Person also only works vs very select targets, it doesn't work vs a crapton of enemies including many who look humanish like mind flayers (abberation) and Dopplergangers (Monstrosity). Act 2 and Act 3 are chock full of things you cannot hold person. You'd need hold monster for them, which you won't be upcasting and have precious few casts of as a 5th level spell.
@@epyon6712 And even if you don't get AOE'd and you do your summons and hold person actually lands you can only do that a few times before you have to rest since most of your spell slots are spent doing summons. And if you're using like half your spell slots to cast Hold Monster/Hold Person you're not really a necromancy focused build, you're doing a Necormancy/Echantment build.
@@epyon6712 But as someone who has played the full necromancer build and also went through their first playthrough as a spell focused support bard who got all the DC boosting gear they could and had like 23 CHA at game end....hold and debuff spells get resisted CONSTANTLY. Enemies often have boosted stats compared to what the player could even possible have.
Even with a wide range of debuff spells targeting different attributes whiffing spells was common. As a Necro who has to sacrifice gear slots that could be boosting DC on necro gear, with less int boosting gear available in game, and who has to target only Wisdom saves via Hold Person and Hold Monster. Those spells are gonna be missing quite alot.
I say Necromancer is mid at best because it is mid at best. I'd much rather have ANY barbarian or Ranger. I'd rather have evocation, Abberation, or Diivination Wizard, any sorc, any druid except spore druid, etc.
There is also a ring that allows to cast Create Undead of 6th level and allows to conjure a Mummy in addition to the summons from Necromancy of Thay and Animate Dead. I ran that build with a Spore Druid, so I approached the last fights with basically a private army
Ohh, where can you find that ring?
@@mihile4631 reward for defeating Mystic Carrion for Thrumbo
It should be noted that the mummy from that ring doesn't get Undead Thrall boosts, so it will almost never hit anything or land its fear gaze. Decent when slapped onto a non-necromancer, but the actual necromancer is going to want to manually summon a mummy so that it gets Undead Thrall proficiency boosts.
YOU CAN CONJURE A HAND THAT CAN THROW ITEMS TO YOU BEYOND LOCKED DOORS? i am losing my mind
and it's a cantrip
Mage hand
Dude, Lae'zel has this cantrip at the start of the game despite not even being a caster.
Did most of this in my first playthrough without any guides.
But I went for the good Destroy the Brain ending, and then went to Avernus with by bae Karlach.
I was a lawful good necromancer whose backstory was that I was an investigator who used Speak With Dead and such to solve crimes.
It was very fun being followed by my posse of like 9 powerful undead. And bewildering when mooks tried to pick a fight. It was like in Skyrim when a bandit with an iron sword sees you wearing Daedric Plate, eating a dragon's soul and thinks "I can take him".
I also took the Amulet of Greater Health (i think that was it's name) from the House of Hope which raised my Con to 22, giving me nearly as much HP as Karlach.
And with all my other gear, I had a spell save DC of 22.
AC of 19, DC of 22, HP was over 100 at level 12 (very high for a wizard).
With 9 undead to distract enemies, not much tried to hit me, and not that tried managed it. And even fewer avoided my retaliation.
Not really lawful good if you're running around with a horde of undead and killing the guards who try to stop you.
@@antonenb what if the guards were evil? possessed? mind controlled by some cult perhaps?
Dark power being wielded for good and then resisted by the close-minded and paranoid. That is a good vs good scenario. Just because the player character decides not to yield does not mean that they are in the wrong. Much as the guards not yielding would not necessarily mean they are evil either.
Where do the lines of good/evil/neutral truly part?
The alignment system is inherently flawed.
A badass barbarian bae and her necromancer wife vs the forces of hell…now that sounds like a kick ass sequel
This is the closest I've gotten to running into a necromancer lawyer.
I did the majority of my playthrough as a necromancer, up until late act 3. It was becoming a hell of micromanaging the summons. Every jumps was a nightmare. I run it up until Larian fix the animate dead spell. Before, you could summons 4 ghouls with only one body. After the patch you needed 4 separate corpses. Corpses became my most sought after ressources. I made maps to where the body where, brought them to camp, etc... I still tried to solo Raphael with my build, and got destroyed. Then I switched. Never felt such a feeling of releasing pressure in a game than the one I felt at this moment lol ^^
I personally love the logistics of micromanging the undead without the hassle of bogging down an IRL DND game. The worst at release imo was that every NPC would either follow you or flee in terror. Thank god they changed it.
Have Lae'zel pocket corpses for you. I've got several in my pocket. Now that I'm writing this I'm going to test it on the many severed heads I've collected.
F.Y.I
Bring the head to mushroom man first. Do not bring the corpse and do it. Bringing a drow, dead or alive, will make the shrooms hostile.
>
And only really starts at about 30% through the game. It do be like that.
@@lexcon4572 Well it's not the only case of late blossom. Shadowheart / Clerics are very meh (useful for heal but that's it) until Act 2 with Spirit Guardians and other broken spells that break the d&d action economy. Sorcerers are lesser Wizards until they get their good metamagic skills. And so on... The early suffering is part of the game ^^
Every single interesting build is like that. All the core items are locked behind late game bosses. I just wish I got to spend more time at my full strength. Fingers crossed for a DLC.
If you dual wield staves you can have the Necromancy staff AND Woe at the same time
not worth the dual wielder feat
@@insanenessity It actually is. But it's understandable for people who only know the game and not actual Dungeons and Dragons. Like yourself, it seems.
@@AnyaChristinaEmmanuellaJenkins lol, lmao even
@@AnyaChristinaEmmanuellaJenkinsdamn, explaining how good it is? Just generously curious because I’m thinking of going through a necromancy gale playthrough 😮
@@raymonniball3261 I am actually using dual wielding with staff ot Cherished Necromancy and Markoheshkir, its fun. Also nuking repeatedly high aoe of circle of dead in the last Shadowhearts quest was fun. I mean my necromancer ended that battle with full heath (lol my Karlach was havy wounded cause I never actualy payed attention to her easy tanking) , no haste used, on front line xD Too bad necro damage is resisted by so many enemies in this game xp
dont forget balthazar's amulet which gives allied undead resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing (the three most common damage types in the game)
you dont even need to use it yourself, you could give it to someone who will be fighting in the front lines where your undead are.
Bonus summons in early - mid game, you can get the wand after you beat ethel to get an early zombie summon, but since he only lasts a few turns it's really only useful until you get actual raise dead spells. then in act two you can use gale to make the Shadow Wraith Lantern in balthazars room to get a free Wraith summon.
Bro, the video is really nice, perfect soundtrack and editing. So far the strongest Necro build I've seen, and also the coolest. 😄 Thanks for the idea, will definitely check it out.
Bro I swear it would break my heart to do anything bad in the game. I don't know why, I feel like all these backstories and encounters made me attached to the characters. I was staring at that Astral Tadpole for ages during my 2nd playthrough...and I just can't :(
every "Evil playthru" just turns into a semi-Playthru lmao
That's why I went Evil playthrough first. Break their hearts before I get too attached to them. From then on, my future gameplays will only get better as I play Good
I like starting out as a good character, but they rarely last.
Annoying NPC? Just kill it for XP (barring important quests) & move on...
I appreciate the usage of Pigeon John’s music here! very much a throwback.
Theres no better necromancer than a 6 spore druid/6 necromancer. A 6 spore druid gets 4 free fungal zombies that dont replace summons so you can stack any animate dead with it. And level 6 necromancer gives enhanced animate dead. Couple wirh dance of the macabre and the mummy summon ring from act 3, and the fact spore druid is TANKY with symbiotic entity you have an army and a frontline general with crowd control to keep enemies at your zombies mercy. Have someone cast a high level aid spell on the zombies so they have more health and abyss beckoners equipped MID fight and they are a real threat.
Loved the video. DIdnt even know the staff exists tbh, so now I have the motivation to play a new run. Always loved necromany
The only thing stopping me from this is I feel like I’d get tired chasing down the NPCs I wanna talk to who run away from summons.
Now I may be mistaken, but I thought in a recent patch note they've removed fleeing NPC's 👀
@@lexcon4572 Sweet! Then I’ll definitely check this out. Thanks for letting me know.
basically me except i was a good guy
i roleplayed as
"A Necromancer Disciple from a far away country in which they belive that after death the Soul passes to the next live leaving no real purpose to the Corpse and so many people train to physical perfection just to be useful in death as zombies and or Skeletons either as defence to not risk precious life in war or to do manual and dangerous labour"
infact i safed the cleric in the inn in act 2 just because i had a huge army of skeletons
(since i made gale and Shadowhert necromancers too - the roleplay being - my character convinced them this path of necromancy my character strives for is acceptable)
this is very enjoyable by itself as well as being a good guide. great job
Necromancy wizard and oathbreakee paladin is an insane combo because your summons get further damage from the aura. Slap on a crusaders mantle and each summon gets a further d4 radiant
My first ending was the same as yours with my drow sorcerer.🤣🤣 Only 4% of players made this ending. It's great to be evil in this game and see the NPCs' faces like...WHAT??? That wasn't in the script.
Not that I played my necro as EVIL evil. Just the pursuit of power and the ends justify the means. But once the game gave me the oppurtunity I mean how could I refuse? 🤷♂️
Exactly, I had a unique opportunity @@lexcon4572 🤣
@@lexcon4572 I found it a little sad that we only really had 2 endings before. "goodie two shoes you saved the world" or "comically evil supervillain"
I was playing a fella that wanted to fill a Gortash-like role ideally and keep my friends (party members) well-off as I control the city covertly. Sadly there was no "evil" resolution that didn't result in my companions being brainwashed puppets though. Truly a shame.
I had a blast on my spore Druid but ended up respecing because having minions follow you correctly in this game can be a fight 😂
One thing I love about the late game is when all of your followers evolve their illithid powers they just fly after you regardless of (most) obstacles.😅
Doesn't improve your minions though, except for the flying ghoul.
Background music is appropriate for Gale
you forgot the singing sword, that aoe buffes all these little undead with some extra chance to hit
this is why I love Baldur Gate 3, so many possibilities which allows for mass replayability. On my 3rd playthrough and still haven't completed Act 3 😂
Lmfao same actually
And thats before you even start modding
Yeah but evil playthrough is severely punished in terms of rewards. Instead of turning your companions to the dark side, they just flee from the group when you take some sensible choices
Well at least your not me. 243 hours and I only just entered act 2

@@Mare_Man I dont play them in the tabletop cos of how they suck haha
I bought this game yesterday, and this is the exact specialization route I’ve gone through so far.I now have much higher expectations for myself.
Hilarious & informative - subscribed! I never thought of doing a necro run.
Shadowheart, who's only been kept around this long to cast a 6th level Aid on all of them every long rest
I had a lot of fun with my necromancer build UNTIL I could summon a gazillion ghouls that made my game about as slow as your average zombie. Respecced into abjuration instead...
Thankfully my rig could handle that many entities, but the worst part was the ghoul’s growling and shambling was SO LOUD it was like Halloween themed ASMR.
Death shall reign eternally. If only you could replace Ketheric as Myrkul's chosen.
The rapier from mizora grants you a planar ally too. I could cast 24 minions along with Shadow heart, wyll and Jaheira
had anecromancer half drow, never did any of that apart from getting the two books needed, i just made the gith and tiefling women carry a bunch of reusable dead rats and bats to be used for necromancy , there were a ton of zombies lmao.
okay, i never even fucking realised i could run a shield as a human even tho like half my characters have been human thank you so much holy shit.
Ah, yes, The Necromancer experience:
BBEG: "You want to stop me? Hahaha! You and what army?"
Necromance, standing behind an actual army of zombies and skeletons: "So, about that"
Could also go lvl 6 Necro Wizard/lvl 6 Spore Druid, then you get additional Fungus Zombies on top, which all have the enhanced stats from lvl 6 Necro and you can use the Armour of Spores to throw free Haste Spores for all of your zombie army. Crypt Lord Ring for Create Undead and you are set.
Meanwhile, the Spore Druid can raise zombies better than you and without tainting his soul.
I was gathering every corpse at first, then I started only getting "strong" corpses. Wanted to respec wizard to necromancy... and then I realized I wasted like 2 - 3 hours on collecting corpses - you cant animate the actualy corpse, you can only summon a fucking ghul or whatever out from the body. I absolutely HATED that
wait a fucking minute. There is a hatch lead to a basement in Blighted Town?
Yup, the building that’s right next to the waypoint with the potion ingredients inside it!
I hate that it takes that long to get the good stuff for that build
Yeah, up until levels 5-7 you’re really twiddling your thumbs waiting. Level 5 gives you animate undead, level 6 gives you more and better undead, and level 7 gives you 4th level animate undead. Around 40-50% through the game no less….
For some extra sauce in it you could add the dual wielder feat and dual equip staffs with the woe staff and get a free blight spell, temp hp and a +1 to ac!

I prefer 12 levels for roleplay purposes but you can always take a level dip in another class as you only get a feat at level 12.
Im starting a new a dual wielding necromancer and ive already gor a corpse pile going on and even organizing the corpses based on race
I LOVE necromancy. In one of my runs Gale is a necro wizard with the shadow lantern and halsin a spore druid. All the dead buddys / bodys fighting with us 😍
Smart to recruit as many allies as you can. They will serve you well when you are the Absolute.
i will mourn the day the staff gets fixed, Necromancy is acually not that strong still, even with the staff
Some decent debuff spells and mediocre to sub optimal damage spells so I would tend to agree. Blindness, Eyebite, and False Life are my personal favorites cast at 6th level, but the utility drops off fast when you actually have to spend spell slots on it.
Necromancer after the Crash, Goblin slaughter/raid, Moonrise raid “Ooo piece of candy..Ooo piece of candy..Ooo piece of candy”
this is by far my favorite tutorial video on youtube. love the song
quick note, dual class with spore druid give you double thralls.you got your undead skellies, the ghouls from thay, and the fungal zombies. i think i neared the 20 something army of dead.
The f is that mirror in the beginning i needed to stop immediatly i got 200 hours in the game played through 2 times and i never seen that. Guess its time for my third playthrough but now taking it really slow looking at everything
In the cellar of the Apothacary in the blighted village (Building adjacent to the waypoint) in Act 1 there’s a hidden lever behind boxes that will lead you to a cavern with the mirror at the end. 200 Hours as well and I find new things every playthrough!
now get them all to climb a ladder
This is more of an RP move but if you get the Shield of the Undevout you can also give enemies disadvantage on any of your Fear-causing skills/spells, which combos nicely with Create Undead's Mummy. The Mummy's fear DC is garbage, but if you cast a big AOE fear spell first, then the mummy can roll in with Multi-Attack which hits like a truck as far as summons go.
Informative & entertaining guide 10/10
Missed melle dmg type resist gloves for summoned creatures in act1
I feel like this build would be better as a spore druid
Spore druids has more minions but Necromancer favors quality
I believe the staff should work with Druid too so you may be right. I think it depends of which classes’ spell list you prefer more.
I've been fucking around with a lolth drow spore druid & am about to finish unlocking necromancy of thay. I am excited to be a menace to society.
Nah, I think druid's spore zombies are inferior. Spore druid is kinda weird class who doesn't know what it want to be. It got zombies but those are plain ordinary zombies like non-necro wizard can raise. It's got mildly irritating close-range offensive buff in spore cloud, but again, nothing to write home about (and it doesn't make you a passable frontliner, sadly). It's got typical druid array of spells (confusing with heavy emphasis on concentration spells) so it's basically the most indecisive subclass built on already very indecisive class chassis.
Not me out here summoning 16 skeletons with my party of necromancers and using the hireables to give them all warding bond, mage armor and longstrider. Action economy says what?
Myrkul: "Damn, I picked the wrong chosen..."
You don’t have to pick animate dead as a spell you get it for free as a necromancy subclass
Okay, it’s a really weird coincidence that your necromancer is named Crowley, cause my necromancer wizards I also named Crowley!
I mean, Aleister Crowley the real world Magician? Seems like a common name for people to name their wizards.

You already failed at step 1 cause you just walked past all those juicy dead bodies that you could just collect in camp for later use, you never know when you run out of dead bodies :3

I guess if you were to create a DND stereotype of pitchfork wielding peasants then it probably has to be human.
What an upstanding looking citizen
Dude I didn't even see the subclass option when making my wizard.
I tryed a warlock with the tayan necromance quest done and summoning the 6 ghouls is savage great experience. Buuut I tried in a version of the game where there is a chance that the summons crack your game and corrupt your save games making you loose all progress. Dunno if they fixed this already but makes your build and summon related builds very risky at the endgame, although it could be a very funny experience
There is absolutely some slight performance issues with having a lot of summons. I did a meme build with 4 Necromancers in a multiplayer game and the engine absolutely unprepared for that many entities. Thankfully no issues with save corruption.
Yeah, it's really a shame, I have been reading about the issue and coudn't find a true answer. Some say that apparently there is a problem with the game recognizing the position of many entitites and that makes the save corrupt. Also, some say that the mod that allows you to have more characters in the party sorts it. Hopefully they aventually will fix it with some update, it's really funny having the screen full of ghouls at your commander xD.@@lexcon4572
I think we will praise this game 20 years from now as we praise the lotr trilogy.
Best walkthrough ever
It's kinda silly how roleplaying games don't let necromancer be necromancers and actually raise an undead army but instead rise like 1 or 3 at best which is anything but necromancy.
I remember in POE getting over 100 or so at once....i think thats nerfed now though
D&D rulebook is meant for kids games. There are infinite ways to exploit d&d rules, even more without the presence of a DM.
i dont understand where people find all this cool clothing
You kill bosses, there is mod to transmog your optimal gear to look of aesthetic pleasing gear for rp.
love the touch of dead island 2s trailer music
Need more videos that are this short showcasing awesome builds
you have deathly powers that would make Myrkul blush
Goddam did you betray illithid Karlach? That's cold man.
You and what army turned in to You and the graveyard gang
why are your undead army neither skeletons nor zombies? who are they and how did you get them?
Casting animate dead at 5th level or higher gives you ghouls (like zombies but with more hp and a chance to paralyze enemies on hit) and the 6th level spell create undead gives you a mummy. (Slow, but hits hard and can frighten enemies). Mastering the necromancy of thay in act 3 gives you a special spells that summons 5 ghouls for free
@@lexcon4572 Yeah but you also seem to have hookclaws, devils etc somehow?
I like how you gave him such a derpy hair do lol
Loved my necromancer until I realize why I hated summoner in Divinity Original Sin 2. There is SO much extra micromanagement for every fight, and some mechanics completely trivialize your necromancer as well. The consistent corpse management becomes a chore and at the end of the game, you'll feel overpowered at some points, but really hoped there would be less clutter mechanics dragging the game out almost twice as long.
