Guide – Necromancer Class

The Necromancer armor is very good and has amazing attacks, but has some useless attacks such as Diversion. However, it is only good for short battles, not necessarily for bosses, because you may find yourself pressing the attack button over and over again until a cooldown for a good ability. But it’s good for mini-bosses! (Wait… are there even such thing as mini-bosses in DF? I must have just made that up…)

Finally, a class that has a default weapon that matches the armor!

Where to get: Wow!! SO many people come to this article just see how to get the armor. It’s simple: complete the Artix Vs. The Undead quest in the Necropolis quest chain, then speak to Artix and go to “Other Classes,” then Necromancer. (You do NOT need fully trained paladin.)

The skills:

Shield: +80 Block for two turns. (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 4, Duration: 2)
If you don’t know what this does, then you have a lot to learn…

Sleep – Puts target to sleep for three rounds. (Mana: 20, Cooldown: 19, Duration: 3)
This does a normal attack, and also stuns your enemy.

Summon – Call an undead minion (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 3,  Duration: N/A)
This summons a random undead minion, and attacks with them. It has a 50% chance of single attack, 33% chance of double attack, and 22% of triple attack. All of the minions do normal damage, except for the dog- shaped one that does 100-120% damage.

Horrify – Call an undead minion who targets MP (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 2, Duration: N/A)
Like Summon, but targets mana instead of health. This isn’t very useful, since most monsters don’t use MP.

Mend - Steal Life and replenish 7% HP over 3 turns (Mana: 30, Cooldown: 9, Duration: 3)
This will heal 7% of your maximum health and deal that as darkness damage to your enemy.

Seed: 100-300% delayed damage in 3 turns (Mana: 10, Cooldown: 9, Duration: 3)
In 3 turns, you will summon a minion that can do double damage or triple damage (Also known as the “Summon” ability listed below). After the minion attacks, you will do your attack. So for instance, on the third turn after activating this, you use an ability (like Dominate, for instance), the minion will attack, and then you will use Dominate directly after, all in one turn. The time between you use this ability and the effect is carried on between battles. Also, if you use Dominate during the 3-turn period, it counts as two turns instead of one.

Turn: +200% resistance to attack’s last element. (Mana: 22, Cooldown: 9, Duration: 2)
Always use this instead of Shield, unless your fighting someone who uses more than one element. Yes, 200% resistance to the last attack’s element. For instance, if someone attacks you with Fire, for the next two turns, instead of fire hitting you, it will heal you. Using Dominate after this is a perfect combo!

Diversion – Target: +80 Block All: 150% damage. (Mana: 10, Cooldown: 4, Duration: 2)
This isn’t very good. It gives the target +80 to block, and then everyone gets +150% damage. This is sort of good against multiple enemies, but not worth it.

Multi – Cast to all enemies (Mana: 10, Cooldown: 0, Duration: N/A)
This is like a normal Multi attack, but with a twist. Against 1 enemy, this does 100-110% damage. Against two, it does 75-85%, and against three, it does 65-75% damage. However, it has no cooldown, which makes up for the low damage rates

Final Blow – Guaranteed Crit. (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 14, Duration: N/A)
This does 3 hits of 80% damage, with a grand total of 240%.

Pet – Wild Damage Range Attack (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 14, Duration: N/A)
This is a range attack, and also increases your weapon damage range. Basically, it will either do really low or really high damage (75-150% damage to be exact). Thanks, Einwill!

Dominate – Target attacks self or deals 150% damage to you (Mana: 20, Cooldown: 2, Duration: N/A)
You do a normal attack with normal damage, and then there is about a 75% chance of your enemy being dominated, which means that it will attack itself with its own damage range and element. If not, it attacks you with 150% damage. Do not use this on monsters such as Elementals, since those have a 200 resistance to their element and Dominate will heal them.

Zombify: 120% Disease damage over 10 turns. (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 2, Duration: 10)
The initial attack does 25% damage, and then it does DoT that lasts for 10 turns. The range of the DoT damage is 12% of your own damage range.

Mystify: -50 to hit, monster does +75% dmg. (Mana: 5, Cooldown: 4, Duration: 3)
The initial attack does 20% damage, and then the monster gains 75% to their damage, but loses 50% to hit
