The eponymous ability of the necromancer is the resurrection of fallen opponents, but for the normal level of difficulty we recommend a build that is based on the skills teeth and bone spear. This means you always stay at a safe distance and can cast spells on your enemies from afar. A similar version of the build will eventually get you into the endgame.

The first 17 levels you rely primarily on the ability teethbefore you start at level 18 Bone spear receive. Since the two skills have synergy with each other, your bone spear benefits from the points invested in teeth. Then put most of the points in bone spears, but you can also invest a few points in teeth to maximize the skill level.

Level | capability |
2-5 | teeth |
6th | Clay golem |
7-10 | teeth |
11 | Increased damage |
12th | Iron Maiden |
13-16 | teeth |
17th | Cadaver explosion |
18-24 | Bone spear |
In the fight against bosses and tougher opponents you will afford the skills Iron Maiden and Clay golem good service. Summons a golem and enchants it with the Iron Maiden. As long as bosses are attacking the golem, some of their own damage is reflected back on them, effectively defeating themselves. If your golem dies in the process, you can easily summon a new one and enchant again.
