Zoo Necromaner?

Acolyte
1

Is it viable up to 300+ corruption?

2

Yes. It can also kill Aby (regular Aby, not Uby).

Especially if you focus on crit.

Yap. Personally reached 1000 with physical version, thx to T-Rex

Current Zoo Build

Farming at 500c currently until I can swap into better gear and stack strength.

To be fair, the 300c bar is quite low these days. You’d be hard pressed to find a build that struggles to get there. Most will reach 500c+ and kill Aby.
Only if you’re relying on underpowered skills like Spirit Plague and even then you might still make it work.

I have read people say it cant do the hardest content. When I say “zoo” I mean having skelly archers, mages, golem. I’m fixing to roll one up. Thanks Eerie for linking yours ;D.

It will have a hard time getting to 1k corruption (will need very good gear) and won’t be able to kill Uby. But it can easily farm over 500c, even close to 1k and kill regular Aby.
Which is more than what you asked for.

As mentioned it can do 500 corruption which is plenty. 1000 corruption has about 1.5% increase in drops from 500

Edit my bad on necroing this :grimacing:

Thank you for sharing this-- I feel a lot better about getting stuck at 600c. :joy:

I run 1132c now… with my zoo biuld.

I highly recommend going with zombies… Zombies provide ward, heal other minions, provide kill threshold, can proc vanguard vets… and do decent dps esp against bosses.

Will try them out over wraiths and looks like I can scale back on minion damage and go harder on strength and minion crit chance.

I would take them over golem. Golem does lousy DPS.

13

Golem is not meant to do DPS. It’s meant to be a meat shield that generates threat and tanks both you and all your minions. It even has nodes to help you/them heal.
Unless you’re playing golemmancer, then they’re supposed to do DPS.

Take Abom over Golem. it has FAR more health and DPS and generates threat the same. With a few rings of putesince and the don’t eat zombies node you can fully charge your Abom with 20 minions and still use all your minions.

Abom is better than golem except for the pain in the A$$ of creating it.

15

Switched to wraiths and I can zoom faster now but getting killed more cause I forget I don’t have anything drawing aggro now haha

16

Then put in Abom

17

No thank you, I hate the abom with a burning passion.

Yes, that relates to Uberroth.

Also it has some troubles with some of the weaver nodes otherwise, but it’s doable with decent equipment.

You’ll never kill Uberroth though, with a guarantee as a zoo build, unless you’re one absolutely monstrous master related to your skill.

Fair… summoning abom is a royal pain.

Also I don’t like the idea of having one uber minion vs an army/zoo as that doesnt fill the my personal desire of wanting to play as a necromancer backed by an army/zoo.
