How to build necro3?

Pretty much what it’s good for. It’s an extra…a point into it sure doesn’t hurt thanks to decay, but for sure nothing amazing…much better to invest into something else like flesh hoop or corpse tower.

Here is my new build for Rank 8 Necro 3. JP + MM may be getting fixed and the first 5 ranks are going to be the most dreadful ranks to level but would you think this is a optimal Wiz 3> Link 2> Necro 3 ?

I would put a point in Gather Corpse just for the rank 1 convenience and surprisingly still has its uses when you get Disinter. For instance, you can grind low level area with hugely clustered mobs and finish them with Gather Corpse and then use Disinter to absorb more corpses, doubling your efficiency more or less.

Don’t put any points in gather corpse, it’s terrible and you don’t need it at all

I know. As I said, I like it if I decide to spend the next 5 minutes being cheap and not using my corpse pots. But the non-mandatory skills don’t need additional points. Corpse Tower has 100% uptime already, and Flesh Hoop’s very limited in being a damage dealer skill - granted, that’s where JP comes into play.

You’re right though. I just remembered the Necro 3 attributes that make corpse part gathering easier.

ok so for those of you who wanted to make a summoner build. seems like bokor+pd is way better.

Skeletons scale with int?

I’d recommend for PvE you do: no Con (50+ with items), Low Con (50+ without heavy support of items, maybe use a Animus for your neck slot. And Wiz bracelets, but con on your offhand at least), or mid Con (50+ naked and further adjust with equipment depending on what you’re doing).

Things to keep in mind:
– High Con late game items are harder to get ahold of. Saal Con bracers are a pain in the butt to get. While you can just buy a couple Wiz bracers for dirt cheap and they are weighted very high for matk.

– Matk while awesome for your nukes does not scale your skels which scale off Int only and % from attrib. As of the moment haven’t heard from any kToS people about Skel archers but they’re using the old tooltip that says +1 attrib = +1 Damage.

– Matk items are weighted very cheaply in general and are easy to get ahold of. Hats include this where HP and Crit resist is weighted weaker then Elemental attack and matk.

– Too low of Con also means no Crit resist, don’t have enough from it you’re pretty liable to get one shot during knockdowns even if you were fairly careful. Or one shot by scaled mobs above your level.

– Remember to wear plate whenever you’re able. And train plate mastery this will give you bonus HP! You want that.

Yes, confirmed. And the attribute % is actually % now.

Haven’t seen it confirmed for archers yet though.

Will probably be. I mean. It’s pointless to have one on % and one with a flat amount, lol.

hi sorry for the necro, this is necro thread after all xD
im going to be necro for my new alt wiz, maybe necro3 at r8
but i really2 have no idea how necro skill work lol
currently this is my build


really dont know what to take at necro skill and some wiz3 skill
help is appreacited, thx!

So does quick cast affect skeletons and archer?

Necro is perfectly legal to afk so im making one

No. Only your int affects their damage.


If you want PvE necro, then there is no point going necro3 beside a bit better afk farming. Flesh Meteor is weak and uses too much corpses for PvE. It deals like 50-60k damage. Better take Sage or Linker3 or even Thauma1 to kill non-status immune targets with swell-decay combo. Or even go wiz3-link3-FF2 it is much better in PvE.
If you want PvP - link is a bad choice.

how do you do a swell decay combo? you link HK swell then decay with DP then??? if you’re not able to kill it the hp will go back after the swell duration right?

ah i see necro3 is bad lol… so going sage or enchanter is better then… also why no point in create shoggoth? this build just wanna pve and afk farm ofc xD

Link-HK swell decay with dp, yes. No. They will get 1 hp a few seconds AFTER swell duration ends. And they will have 1/1 HP until they have decay, then when it runs out they will have 1/MaxHp.

It is a very bad reason to make a necro then. If you really want pure afk farm, then get Necro3. Enchanter is bad. Necro3 will give you both more damage for FC and mdef reduction from necro3 decay attribute.

TBH im building necro 3 with afk farming in mind. I do want linker 3 but lookd like its impossible. Looks like wizard 3 linker 2 necro 3 is my only choice though.

Afk farming is not that profitable. Too many players do it now, so it gives like 50k per hour. First, this can be fixed soon, like it was with Sorcerer(summon stops atk if you have not been in combat for 1 minute). Second, it is very ineffective. The best way to farm now is Wiz3-any-Warlock2, it can give you up to 2m per hour farming in Demon Prison2.
PS yes, you need put 1 point in Shoggoth also.

warlock don’t can afkfarm (without script)
