ULTIMATE NECROMANCER Build Guide for Baldur's Gate 3

You can forgo a feat to get duel wielding and use both staffs with arcane battery that stack the free spell slots.

always love italian's vids! btw i like to pronounce it eye-talian because im authentic like that.

can u use the abyssal beckoners gloves from zentharim hideout? does the gloves work for undead creations?

Love it and thank you for staying more a "pure" wizard necro, but I like the choice the wizard gives me. That if I fight a etc something weak against fire, I can summon a fire elemental instead. But the focus of the class is the awesome undead hehe

Can you play a good guy as Necromancer or do you have to play evil?

And they FINALLY made it so civilians won't run away from your minions, you can make your army and play the game.

nice.. but druids are the better necromancers with their fungal zombies

I also like using the Elemental Myrmidons. Especially the Fire and Air one, it look so much like Cursed Reanimated Armor instead of a Elemental wearing armor. and let's be real, those Myrmidons look really COOL!
And that Staff has a another cool ability something called Kareska's favour which lets you choose a Element and u get 2 Powerfull abilities and i believe Resistance and damage bonus, so using the frost one will be amazing too for the Necromancer. But i still prefer Cherished Necromancy staff.
Can also use the Amulet that gives you a Spell Slot restoration that gives u a spell slot back of any level.

only negative things about Necromancer: Yeah in Act 1 & 2 its pretty bad.
in Act 1 you don't have your fancy tools yet
In Act 2 you fight ALOT of undead already, and Ghosts are immune to Necrotic damage...
But Necromancy really shines in Act 3 for sure!

The way I built my Necromancer was just a straight Summoner. Making Undead and summoning Elementals. I paired it with Shadowheart who can also make Undead and summon Celestial. I didn't go as full send ad much as I wanted.

@italianspartacus someone might have stated this already but because you’re summoning a lot of undead immune to poison - you can use aoe spells like poison cloud without care of friendly fire. Make yourself immune and incapable of blinding and you can cast this on yourself and undead without a care 👌

You can cast Longstrider on your summons to give them some extra movement. It's a ritual spell so it won't cost you any spell slots.

love the info <3

Many times in the game your characters get the enemies HP down to like, under 10 hp. At this point the skeleton archers are great. Many times they actually get to finish the kill. They are a very good ranged damage dealing unit, icing the cake of your own partys efforts.

I learned grip it and rip from baseball. Grip the bat and the rip is the swing

Holy fuck i wish my computer could run those graphics.

One little tip with Necromancy Savant, you should avoid taking necromancy spells as the 2 free spells when you level up and should instead try to only learn necromancy spells from scrolls, otherwise you don't get any value out of Necromancy Savant. Obviously if you just want your necromancy spells ASAP go ahead its something to keep in mind

One of the things about wizards is all you really need is magic missile and shield and everything else is basically just flavour, but summons are extremely strong for action economy so hey, it's a really strong and viable path to persue. Personally i made Gale a Necromancer in my first playthrough and it was excellent.

Necromancer is by far one of the best class to use, it's also my favorite class in any DAND and Diablo games. It's awesome. I'm about to start my BG3 journey and this guide was super helpful since I will be going Necromancer.

i wish aura of hate was at level 6 so it could be paired with the necro

Sorry, playing a necromancer is like herding cats. Doorways totally suck, slowing combat glacially and usually block your character from doing anything useful.

"you're a wizard. heh.. uh.. harry" xD

Using whole person or hold monster in conjunction with your undead if it lands effectively doubles their damage by making all their melee attacks crits. This is especially deadly once you have ghouls which can also paralyze all but guaranteeing they never get to take another turn

Questions:
1. Can we stack the Crypt Lord's Ring summon with the Markoheshkir Staff trick to get two big boi summons?
2. Can/Should we maintain Haste on one of our bois?
3. Can we cast Animate Undead multiple times (both 5th-level slots and at least one 3rd-level slot) to get our undead rave party going?

Great build man, my brother and I love talking about various ideas like this for both BG3 and tabletop 5e.

I made a full necromancy party (necro wizard with thay book, 2 spore druids, and an oathbreaker paladin) I have a literal army following me at all times. It's regoddamndiculous

I like Gnomes with the advantage to three saving throws

wished withers was a playable npc

Maybe I’m stupid but how do you have control over your ghouls in combat? Mine are always listed as an ally and the move and attack in their own

Necklace of endless hentai fucking killed me

BarkSkin potion can be useful for undead.

My necro wizard smacks every one I see you drop the ball too by sleeping on the staff of cherished necromancy

Man you have such a good timing i bought the game yesterday and really needed a good guide like this

Currently playing a Duo NE campaign on tactician with my friend going for Barbarian, and myself going for Necromancer.

Honestly until level 6, his build was far better…but now at level 8, the power shift has hit in full swing. We raided Last Light Inn, inadvertently, and my zombies kept raising Newborn Zombies, which kept raising more…and it was a domino effect that ended with 13 allied zombies. In Act 2-nothing stands a chance once a Necromancer gets going. Also Gith for med armor proficiency with Adamantine scale, guarantees you will get the ball rolling in a fight.

Are Ghouls affected by the gloves from chapter 1, the ones that enrages summons on failed wisdom check? i vaguely remember, that they are immune

Spartacus was a Thracian

that (( Avalon )) game just dropped a trailer its made in unreal5 using the nex gen voxel plugin so gamer2gamer this is the big 1 or 1 of them that i know of... look at the dev team & games they made.. its a crack team of commandos & OGs 😎 ...games like EverQuest, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Diablo, God of War, Assassins Creed, Elden Ring, and many others.🤯i talk to the devs & thay say its coming out next year hopefully its going to be a MMO (REAL metaverse)crypto game with real time in game modding & dev tools like (landmark the game)😍im so stoked..,...

You sound unwell. Hope you feel better dude!

ok, fine, after watching like 20 or 30 of your videos all the way through and hearing the unsubscribed stats I guess I can help out.

Danse M..W/e is actually 5 ghouls w/ necro perk :D

the biggest drawback for playing as necromancer is actually the huge number of spawns 😅 they are just too cumbersome to control ……especially when the party need to jump when navigating the world 🥲

Necklace of Endless Hentai.

Let me guess, that was like the third mod to go up on Nexus.

problem with summoning anything is that they can't hit anything in act 3.

I used a Cleric 1 wizard 11 build using heavy armor and a shield. That gets more ridiculous over time and downright broken in act three after getting a certain staff and reading a certain forbidden tome.

Honestly, I think the Circle of Spores Druid is a superior Necromancer. They gain the ability to raise additional 4 fungal zombies, who can summon additional zombies from enemies killed by them. So you have 4 undead from Raise Dead, 4 Ghouls from Danse Macabre and 4 fungal zombies who can create more zombies! A truly great undead army!

I definitely think a necro-build is more about the party you bring along than the gear. A priest for aid and heros feats + someone to give all the summons longstrider + an oathbreaker to give the aura and crusaders mantel. I think with this build you for sure want some way to give your minions advantage (maybe even bless) cuz by act3 their to hit is pretty low. It is a shame that the summon phantom steed / summon undead necro build didnt make it in from tashas (I think). It was a more table (and probably game) friendly necro that focused on one really strong summon.

Also, no way is any wizard low tier or whatever in bg3 or 5e, especially when you dont have restrictive resting rules and abundent scrolls.

What do you think about the summoner gloves (resist all but physic BUT gain madness)? I've tried them once or twice and can see the potential.

Can recommend the dual wielder feat for this build, so you can have two staves equipped at once and gain benefits from both. Markoheshkir in one hand and Staff of Cherished Necromancy in the other for a powerful combo.

Also Circle of Bones is a good headpiece for this subclass :P

“Boner Boyz. I said what I said.” 😭😭😭

How do you feel about Spore Druid vs Necromancer as far a power?

honestly, for me, what I have found out is that a warlock can make a Great necromancer. Especially with a few mods that had optional feats. But even just bare bones, vanilla game by the time you hit level five as a warlock, if you pick pact of the tome, you will gain anime dead for free as a warlock ability as well as a few other spells.
