Why can't i summon a skeleton.

[omgilovesteak]

I have summon skeleton on the hotbar. It is not working :(

[omgilovesteak]

Well. Apparently it issnt a summon skill. They just kind of appear from time to time but im not sure what triggers a skeleton appearing to fight for me lol. Ill figure it out :D

If it's necromancy, don't you normally have to kill something to reanimate it as a skelly?

Welli think so maybe. The thing is i was killing a LOT before one finally popped out so im not sure what triggered it.

You have to put the skill in your hotbar.
It's an Aura so it will work alone just fine, I see my two esqueletons all the time.

This skill just spawn one skeleton from enemy corpse nearby, if there no corpses then you cant summon skeletons.

[omgilovesteak]

Ahhh ok, i see now. It's description could be a little clearer xD

[Darkrachet]

not working for me either. bugged i guess

Pretty much worst summoner I've ever played. Skeletons RANDOMLY spawn from mobs you kill AND they scale off your HP and damage? So, to make skeletons effective, you have to build the Necromancer AS A TANK!!!

[omgilovesteak]

yeah, i played it yesterday and was stuck with one skeleton for 2 hours. I dunno why :D

spawn not randomly, only if you leave corpse after killing enemy, because sometimes after kill enemy explode and leave no corpse also some enemies not have corpse.

Necro just not good class for bossing, you need a lot of survivability for your minions before you start bossing, best combo necro + paladin, you can heal minions by holy bolt and damage enemies in same time. But first 4 reincarnations should be cleared without any minions or it will be pain for you.

I tried a "legally ambiguous" version and quit at level 3. Just didn't enjoy the game in the slightest (Had about as much fun as with Diablo 3 WHICH I consider worse then Torchlight 3). Just WHY make summons scale off your chars health and damage? If I'm gonna play a summoner, I want the pets to do all the damage, not have the pets do chip damage while I do all the work.

I would tend to agree, the play style of a pet class like Necromancer is that of a "General" controlling minions that overwhelm the pitiful creatures opposing them. The Necromancer themselves tend to be a support role to bolster minions by healing or supplemental damage. But then, this game was originally a mobile game and likely minion control is difficult on a touch screen...so basically it seems the Necromancer here is just another flavor of mage with a random proc in the form of the minion. No control over the minion so you play it more like a weakened mage type...since people will point at the minion saying that the rest of the Necromancer's spells should be weaker since they have a minion they cannot control. The skeleton skill needs more points to improve it's strength but it is still based on the caster's stats...since he is a mage he should be putting points into Intelligence but then that leaves the minion weaker. Put points into vitality to improve the minion you weaken every other spell the Necromancer has.

[omgilovesteak]

Yeah, i kinda like the way this summoner plays now. At first i just couldnt deal with the odd skeleton summoning but apparently it is set on a per chance thing maybe.

I have literally just killed about 50 things and I haven't summoned a single skeleton yet, seems pretty bugged to hell to me tbh
