There are several viable Necromancer builds in Diablo II: Resurrected, depending on your preferred playstyle and the content you want to tackle. However, here are two popular and effective Necromancer builds:
Poison and Bone Necromancer: This build focuses on using poison and bone spells to deal damage to enemies. It is a versatile build that can handle both single-target and area-of-effect damage. The core skills for this build are Poison Nova, Bone Spear, and Bone Spirit. You'll want to invest points in skills like Teeth, Corpse Explosion, and Poison Dagger to help you clear out enemies and generate corpses to use with your Poison Nova. The most important stats to focus on for this build are +skills, +poison damage, and +mana regeneration.
Summoner Necromancer: This build focuses on summoning and controlling hordes of undead minions to do your bidding. It is a highly defensive build that can take on tough content with ease. The core skills for this build are Raise Skeleton, Raise Skeletal Mage, and Revive. You'll want to invest points in skills like Corpse Explosion, Amplify Damage, and Dim Vision to help you control the battlefield and generate corpses for your minions. The most important stats to focus on for this build are +skills, +minion damage, and +mana regeneration.
Both builds can be effective in both solo and group play, and can take on most of the game's content, including end-game bosses. It's important to note that these builds are just suggestions, and you should experiment with different skills and gear to find what works best for you.
