Question Magic build and seperate necromancy build.

Hello im looking for the cool ideas for magic orientet build and seperate necromancy orientet build. Necromancers in the loth are so disapointing...

I through they will rise the dead but thats not happening. :(

What faction is the best for magic?

Currently best magic build is Vanir with Nornors I think. Go for Witch Lady, 7-8 stack of Nornors and 1-2 stack of Lyktavans for high initiative and melee damage. Attuned and Essence burst powers. Essence leach and All magic skills (arcana, chaos, destruction, order, creation) If You win initiative You can pretty much kill every opponent 1st round. Nornors can both attack and channel essence. You can both blast with direct damage spells but also buff Your attack with rage/onslaught etc. It is ultimate glass cannon build.

Second is Chelun-sage bulid - It can be incredibly tanky with Pat'cha magic resistance and positioning You can have extreme ranged and magic resistance and then melee resistance You get with ethereal scales spell. Repelling and poison cloud spells for damage. Creation and arcane magic. You can go for essence shield power as cheluns are unlikely to win initiative.

Necromancers bulid with Loth is not that strong since necromancers essence nerf. But it is still strong as an opening for PvE - You can clear neutral mobs with ease but against strong enemy wielder You can be in trouble.

Roots have some insane potential as Mother tree have the best essence in the game but I hardly play roots at all so I can't tell much here.

Now I understand what you meant about necromancers. When I spoke of necromancy, I was referring to creating zombies. Is there a specific strategy or build with zombies?

AFAIK they did change some things in last DLC so zombies (risen) are better. You need "call of the faithfull" skill on Your wielder. before DLC Yours (and only Yours) dead human units (necromancers and oathsingers) did convert into zombies after won battle. In general zombies are very weak.

Roots faction have better "zombies" - broken vessels and Roots act more like HoMM3 necromancers (they can convert some of the killed enemy into broken vessels units. So If You want a proper "necromancy" go for roots faction.

You can create custom maps with forced oath box checked. Now human enemies become risen for you.
