Although this build is simple to play, it does not mean that you don’t need to operate. After you summon Skeletal Mage, you still need to release other skills to provide it with buffs.
The general way to use the skills is as follows:
- Release Summon Skeletal Mage skills
- Release skills in the order of Infernal Shade, Dread Shade to Chaos Bolts to provide buffs for Summon Skeletal Mage
- Rely on Bone Armor or Transplant to ensure your own safety
- Let your Skeletal Mage join in the battle
- Release a Chaos Bolt from time to time to maintain the buff
When you are farming the map, don’t let Skeletal Mage leave you too far, let it clean up the monsters around, and use Transplant to escape when necessary.
When you are dealing with the boss, leave all the offensive tasks to Skeletal Mage, and you only need to focus on avoiding the boss’s attacks. Use Transplant to avoid the boss’s attacks when you can’t avoid them.
The above are the skills required for Skeletal Necromancer endgame build. It requires almost no operation, but it can still clean up monsters and minions very efficiently. It is the best choice for lazy-man players.
