​

This is a Necromancer based build focusing on the Skill Animate Weapon, using Lingering Blades from Bladefall. This is a very beginner friendly build because it gets really strong with a few investment and it's very easy to play. 

Pros

• Cheap

• Easy to play

• Boss killer

• Good currency farmer

• Safe build, stay behind and let your minions do their job

• Good clear speed

​

Cons

• Can't leech life or mana

• Even though they last almost 2 minutes you have to keep animating more weapons

[Cheap Gear Here]

• BODY ARMOUR

- ​Skin of the Loyal is a cheap way to get a 6Link setup, but it needs to get the right colours. (3 Red + 2 Green + 1 Blue).

- A Tabula Rasa is a budget option that also grants a 6Link setup.

- You can also use a Belly of the Beast for more life and resistances.

• WEAPONS

- ​A rare Convoking Wand with +1 to Minion Gems, Minion Attack Speed and Minion Damage is the best weapon for this build, it's not so cheap though. Examples here.

- ​Cold Iron Point is the best budget alternative and cost/benefit weapon, It grants +3 level of physical skill gems, increasing a lot the status of our Animate Weapons. Thanks Josh Butler for pointing this out for me!

- Budget Convoking Wands are also an option, look for minion damage and minion attack speed. Examples here.

• HELMET

- I recommend a Bone Helmet with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.

• GLOVES

- ​Rare energy shield gloves with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.

• BOOTS

- ​Rare energy shield boots with life,  elemental resistances and movement speed. Examples here.

• BELT

- ​A good rare belt with life and elemental resistances. Examples here.

• RING #1

- ​A rare Unset Ring with life, dexterity and if possible some elemental resistances. Examples here.

• RING #2

- ​A rare Unset Ring with life, dexterity and if possible some elemental resistances. Examples here.

• AMULET

- Use a rare amulet with life, dexterity and elemental resistances. Examples here.

• FLASKS

- ​2 or 3 Divine Life Flasks are important for this build, because you cannot leech life. Look for mods like ''instant recovery'', ''removes bleeding'' and ''removes freeze''. Examples here and here.

- I like to use a Quicksilver Flask on this build. Look for mods like ''increased movement speed during flask effect'' and ''increased duration''. Examples here.

- An Basalt Flask for physical damage reduction. Look for mods like ''increased duration'' and "Increased armour" Examples here.

- Rumis's Concoction as a defensive flask to boost your armour and block chance.

• ENCHANTMENTS

- ​Helmet: 30% Increased Animate Weapon Duration

- Gloves: Of Reflection.

- Boots: Movement Speed.

P.S. Enchantments are not super important, so don't feel bad if you don't have the right ones ;)
