For example, my Necromancer which played a customized CSer oriented Bone Necro spec has 8 Poison and Bone life Skillers, Torch, Annihilus and gg gear. The overwhelming damage of the meta classes simply outshine the advantages offered by the Necromancer. However, as the ladder progresses, the enormous power of the meta classes makes them require little to no support. The Necromancer may help greatly with clearing Baal throne and even skipping waves through using Dim Vision/Confuse/Decrepify. The class can also take the role of a throne teleporter (aka Teler), however, 125 FCR builds that can maintain a level 51-52 Bone Spear for damage require really rare and expensive gear, and Sorceresses as well as Barbarians have better FCR frames anyway. It is a good alternative class for supporting Chaos Sanctuary and killing immune seal bosses. The Necromancer is almost like a substitute for the meta. Very mana hungry and requires expensive gear to be competitive.The potential weaknesses of the Bone Necromancer are as follows: Good extra damage support for the team due to Amplify Damage and Lower Resist.


The Summon Necromancer suffers from not having targeting control or focused damage.

The only dominant Necromancer spec that can barely keep up with the intense pace at the highest level ladder games is the Bone Necromancer spec. The class itself truly shines at day 1 ladder and Baal Runs however, it starts to fall off as teams/players gear up and reach the end-game levels. The Necromancer itself currently plays a support role in early ladder team compositions. The first level 99 Necromancer appeared on the ladder at 4th of June 2022, almost a month after Season 2 launch. All other classes have reached 99 before the Necromancer. Also, the Necromancer is the very last class that reached 99 on the ladder.

While the Necromancer was the third most played class at the start of the ladder, it has lost its position and dropped to rank 5. The Necromancer is another class that could not get into the end-game meta of Ladder Season 2.
