Valkoria's (W) Summoner Guide.
Created by Valkoria on Aug 3rd 2017 (Last Updated: Dec 11th 2018).
This is a public build.
20
Rank 10 Update: Summoners change a lot in the Rank 10 update. Now we can take Linker Circle 3 which allows us to get the Spirit Shock attribute Mental Pressure which allows us to deal some insanely high single target damage, while lowering the targets magic resist by 25%.
We also gain some added utility with Joint Penalty to quickly clear packs of enemies, also being able to share the groups highest attributes with everyone while gaining +30% magic damage.
I've come to the conclusion that Sorcerer Circle 3 is just not worth it, your summons do gain sustain with the new Summon Salamion attribute that heals your summons over time, but now that summons scale with your Con it's not as important as it sounds.
Also Evocations rework is still quite bad, and Desmodus sounds good on paper, but the debuff only lasts a few seconds making it not so great.
At Rank 10 you may choose to go Sorcerer C3 instead of Linker C3, but I would suggest going Wiz-(Pyro3 or Cryo3)-Sorc-Necro then.

Sorcerer and Necromancer specializes in summoning minions to combat for them while you can control the battle from a safe distance or Ride your summoned Demon and get close and personal to high damage.
Sorcerer can summon a Fire Salamion and a powerful Demon that requires a Devil Boss Card in your Grimoir. The Demon is much more powerful in this build due to being able to ride it and use its special abilities.
Necromancer can summon a variety of minions to deal damage for you as well and requires corpse fragments to use their abilities which you can obtain from Corpse Potions, the Gather Corpse and Disinter skills, and Skeleton Warrior kills.
Rating of Class 1-10 (my opinion):
Single Target: 7
Area of Effect: 6.5
Durability: 6.5
Solo: 7
Team: 6
Pros:
- Well rounded single target and aoe
- Great utility
- Versatile
- Unique game play
Cons:
- Requires investment in Boss Cards
- Corpse mechanic can be annoying
Stat Distribution:
Full Spirit.
This build focuses on the summons of Sorcerer and Necromancer which all scale well with Spirit, you may invest in a small amount of Con if you wish but I would advise focusing on getting defenses through gear instead.
Skill Distribution:
You will notice that some circles don't have 15 points invested, that's because you can save points from the same class and invest them in the next circle.
Necromancer has some unspent points, below will explain what your options are.
Wizard:
1/10 Energy Bolt, Decent filler skill, not very powerful but not bad. Very fast cast animation and fairly low cooldown.
10/10 Earthquake, This skill is now instant cast and has a super quick animation, deals significant damage on its own, and will hit twice if the target is effected by Lethargy. Has an attribute that removes the knockdown too!
1/10 Lethargy, Lowers the targets Magic and Physical Attack by 1% per skill level, and causes it to take 35% more damage from magic circles (like Hail). Really powerful debuff even at level 1 for the damage boost.
1/5 Surespell, A 5 minute buff that causes your casts to not get interrupted. Can be extended to party members if you invest more points into it.
5/5 Magic Missile, This skill received a huge buff by having better scaling and a super quick animation similar to Earthquake. Useful against a single target and even better against a group of enemies. Deals bonus hits if you have Thaumaturge's swell arm buff.
Remaining points can be spent into any combination of Wizards other abilities: Energy Bolt for better scaling (for leveling), Surespell to apply to party members, Sleep for its Combo potential, Lethargy if you wish to lower hard hitting bosses damage further, and Magic Shield if you wish to mitigate 20% damage for several hits.
All are good abilities and mostly depend on what content you may be focusing on and who/what you will be playing with.
Linker:
10/10 Joint Penalty, Causes any damage (up to a certain amount of hits) to be shared among linked targets, also has attributes that increase the damage of certain elements, Earth being the big one for the build.
5/10 Hangman's Knot, Using this after Joint Penalty will vacuum the linked targets together and lowers their aoe ratio to 1. Very good for comboing aoe spells with.
10/10 Spiritual Chain, Causes certain buffs in the party to be shared and has an attribute that increases allies magic damage dealt by 30%.
10/10 Spirit Shock, Links a tether between you and target enemy that deals damage over time to them. With the Mental Pressure attribute it causes it to reduce the targets magic resist by 25% and take additional damage based off the difference in spirit between you and the target, which can lead to some INSANELY high damage.
5/5 Lifeline, Very powerful buff that has a low cooldown and high up time. It only works when used during Spiritual Chain and causes all linked allies to share the groups highest stats with each other.
For example, if you have 600 Spirit and that's the highest Spirit stat in the group, and the cleric in your party has 600 Intelligence and that's the highest Intelligence stat in the group you now will both have 600 Spirit and Intelligence for the duration of Lifeline. With Divine Might and a Cyst Gem you can increase this skills duration to 50 seconds.
Sorcerer:
10/10 Summoning, Requires a Devil Boss Card in your Grimore and summons that boss as a minion. The number of stars on the Boss Card determines how much damage and defense it has.
Scales with spirit and your weapons magic attack like all summons.
- Marnox and Froster Lord are both amazing cards.
1-10/10 Summon Familiar, Summons 5 bats that follow you for up to a minute, they kamikaze dealing damage to those they hit. Higher level increases damage and lowers the skills cooldown. Now scales with spirit like your other summons.
1-10/10 Summon Salamion, A 5 minute duration summon that attacks for you, it's not incredibly strong but still deals significant damage even at level 1. Scales with spirit and your weapons magic attack like all summons.
5/5 Summon Servant, Summons a cat for a short period that meows several times, giving you different beneficial buffs for 5 minutes. Now costs a reagent to cast that costs 2000 silver, generally you'll only use it for when you are in a dungeon or raid.
1/1 Riding, The most important skill to the build which allows you to ride and use skills unique to each Demon.
1/1 Morph, This skill can be used to bypass cooldowns of Boss Card skills (For example summon a Templeshooter and use its attack while Riding then Morph into a different Templeshooter and do it again), and fully heals your current summon.
Necromancer:
5/15 Gather Corpse, This skill got drastically changed for the better; when used it damages and debuffs enemies hit (10 seconds at level 5) and if the monster is killed while debuffed you gain corpse fragments which are used for your other Necromancer spells.
5/5 Create Shoggoth, Summons permanent minion (until killed or map change) that requires a Animal, Plant or Mutant Boss Card.
Gray Golem Card is considered the best card for this skill due to its massive amount of bonus health.
With the Create Shoggoth: Decay attribute it causes it to have an aura that causes enemies to be afflicted with decay.
5/15 Flesh Cannon, Deals several hits of damage to target location, only use if the target is standing still. The reason why we invest in this skill now is for a reliable way to apply the new Necromancers Bane debuff which will increase your Skeletons damage by up to 50%. The debuff and this skill is mostly only used on bosses, save your corpse parts otherwise.
1/15 Dirty Pole, Summons a Pillar of filth that applies Decay on nearby enemies (causes the target to take additional Missile (Bow) damage.
1/1 Disinter, Use this around recently killed monsters to collect corpse fragments.
10/10 Corpse Tower, Summons an immobile tower that attacks nearby monsters.
It scales with spirit (weapon matk too) and takes corpse fragments to summon.
You may only have one of these out at a time.
5/5 Raise Dead, Summons 5 Melee Skeletons that attack for you.
They scale with spirit (weapon matk too) and takes corpse fragments to summon.
5/5 Raise Skull Archer, Summons 5 Ranged Skeletons that attack for you.
They scale with spirit (weapon matk too) and takes corpse fragments to summon.
You may spend your remaining 8 skill points on any combination of Flesh Strike (hard hitting aoe nuke that costs 100 corpse parts to cast), Flesh Cannon (for more damage and higher chance to apply your Necromancers Bane debuff), or Dirty Pole for higher uptime.
Important Attributes to level asap:
Wizard - Earthquake: Remove Knockdown
Linker - Spiritual Chain: Duration
Linker - Spiritual Chain: Enhance
Linker - Hangman's Knot: Focused Attack
Linker - Spirit Shock: Mental Pressure
Linker - Lifeline: Increased Nullification

Equipment / Core Items / Cards:
Use a Staff. Cloth for more Mdef, Plate for more Pdef.
Red Card: Been debating this for a long time, Chapparition maybe, minor gains.
Blue Card: Nuaele Lv10 x3 (+30% Magic Defense)
Green Card: Linkroller Lv10 x3 (+30 Intelligence)
Purple Card: Gazing Golem Lv5-10 x3 (15-30% chance to gain Pain Barrier when hit)
- or Yeti Lv10 x3 (5400 Hp)
We also gain some added utility with Joint Penalty to quickly clear packs of enemies, also being able to share the groups highest attributes with everyone while gaining +30% magic damage.
I've come to the conclusion that Sorcerer Circle 3 is just not worth it, your summons do gain sustain with the new Summon Salamion attribute that heals your summons over time, but now that summons scale with your Con it's not as important as it sounds.
Also Evocations rework is still quite bad, and Desmodus sounds good on paper, but the debuff only lasts a few seconds making it not so great.

thanks!
Though I'd probably recommend Pyro3 or something instead of wiz3/thaum, Thaum doesn't really add much, the 10% atk is kind of meh tbh, and if you have a pretty good transcended weapon Pyromancer can deal some pretty good filler damage while your summons attack things. I've seen some people solo high lvl cm's on pyro-sorc-necro. But anyways, we'll see when we get that patch though! pretty sure all sorcs get a rank reset then.
But anyways, Surespell is pretty helpful for getting off Flesh cannon which is the best way for stacking the necromancers bane debuff, and its helpful for Flesh Strike too should you take it. You can still get by without Surespell though, it just makes it foolproof, so you could go cryo at rank 2 if you really wanted.
Hello, I have a question about how to accommodate the statistics, if it is complete str or combine it with int
If you have any questions that aren't already answered in the guide, feel free to ask anytime.
-Which card I should use on second grimoire slot? Or in case there goes the actual used summon for mount, which one I should use on first slot for stats when using Morph?
-Necronomicon has 4 slots. Which cards should I use there apart from Gray Golem on first? Or does HP bonus stack if you use all 4 cards as Gray Golem?
-Which cards would be useful on Equip Monster Cards slots? I may know about green ones (Linkroller/Lavenzar) for more SPR, but dunno about the rest.
To be honest, I kind of forget how they changed Morph since it ended up being bugged for the longest time, I think they fixed or changed it a few patches ago? I used to use two of the same card for the longest time to be able to use their long cooldown again, and before that I used to morph my Netherbovine card into my main use card since Netherbovine had/has the best stats, now I'm not so sure since they changed summons a while ago too. Sorry I can't be too much help with this atm, havent kept up with the more recent patches.
- Necronomicon extra slots do nothing, old mechanic that was never finished since CBT.
- Card slots are pretty flexible, I like Nuaele for magic resist and Gazing Golem for Pain Barrier on pretty much any of my characters. Since Froster Lord card got nerfed I haven't really bothered looking into replacing my red cards since there aren't really any that have much of an impact, Centaur card is okay I suppose for aoe ratio if u wanna spend the silver.
Just an idea I had. I am rather new though so it might be a bad idea hahaha
As for rank 10, a lot is going to change, we're getting scaling on summons, sorcerer c3 is actually getting more attractive/buffed and linker3 is a possibility. We'll have to see how things turn out when the patch comes a little closer, I'm sure we'll be getting some rank resets like the many patches before that introduced new ranks and classes.
As for damage, just check each builds rating I gave it for each role for comparison.
to use the Shoggoth skill?
I am waiting.
now you can have sorcerer 3 and necro 3.
I understood, thanks for the explanation.
Just focus on getting armor and a staff with lots of spirit, Int and Con are both good secondary focused stats.
I can't really tell you what to go instead of sorc 2, but I really wouldnt suggest going sm1, its just not a very good single circle class.
Not saying you should or shouldn't play this build, but I don't recommend Sorc3 since it doesn't really offer anything (If you go Sorc, go circle 1 or 2, 2 if you want to use riding), and SM2 is kind of meh without linker for aoe damage, and/or thaumaturge for bonus damage since you will most likely need to go spirit since spell costs are so extremely high.
As for this build, its really fun and fairly good, but don't go it to clear high end content like the new velcoffer raid since summons die to its extremely hard hitting aoe damage too easily, but its a fun build for pretty much anything else if you like summoning builds.
If you're looking to make a serious end game character for velcoffer, you'd have to roll something that does a specific role extremely well, like Ele-Warlock for damage/aoe, Thaum-Linker for support, etc.
If you are looking to do everything else like Saalus/Challenge Mode/Farming then a necromancer is absolutely fine.
and soz for asking too many questions
what do You think about Ledas Neck vs Max Peta?
i testing both and i think i do better job with Ledas, but i know for character sustain and summons power i should use max peta.
Since there is no more "gust" - my favorite cryo spell, i have to learn using "ice blast" (skipped bcs gust in my opinion was just better), i have blue "skill reset potion" and gonna try blast and pike 1 and than decide
shield, rolling, ice tree are alvays maxed for me
ice bolt for me is 0 points - i m playing with gamepad and saving space for skills i like to use
in necro skills:
i like having dirty pole 5 (i used necro as boss killer with 8x tomblord) and pole 5 allowed me to keep dulla, ella, cerber, mineloader flying - need some practice but its rl fun
Gather corpse and desinister for me are alvays 0 points - i m using urns from necro-master and skeletons atri yes its not best solution but for me its hard to imagine 900 corpses used without any monsters killed by skelets
but i rl like flesh cannon and 15 is my choice :D
flesh strike still load that slow? - maybe i should update my playstyle a little bit more
in Sorcerer there is nothing new to discover, i just dont like attack ground 0 for me and save points for rank 10
I tryed literaly all the cards for necro and sorc (all non-legendary cards)
for me Sorcerer - Marnox 10* and Necro Molish 10* (this guy from dungeon who gives 20x* block)
i dont negate Golem for Sho just when You have 30k hp and Your summons have 100k+ i decided to go for attack power
There is one missstep in Your build:
last section
"Wizard - Lethargy: Additional Damage"
Your build dont adds points in lethargy so i believe You dont rl need this atribute
i think Your build is very good, its alvays nice to meet another Necro-sorc player who is not bot :D
