New player: build question Necro/Geo viable?

[Sebastiano]

I was looking at:

Elf undead with mainly Necromancy and some points in Geo for the poison stuff.

Is this something viable?

Thanks!

Necromany makes physical damage, so you should invest 10 in warfare. Undead characters are very often targeted by healing spells from the ai. So you need also very high physical armour. Poison is a problem as it will likely ignited so you burn instead of heal in puddle of poison. You will meet a lot of undead enemies, so your posion spells will heal them too (e.g. contamination, posion wave). If you not insist on an undead character you should play a living elf.

I would propose necro warfare polymorph.

Yes, very. Gives you options for magical or physical damage, but also has some really fun combos. Works best with or as undead since you can friendly fire yourself or your undead ally for healing while still dealing damage.

Probably one of my more favorite builds. Its pretty unique too, not a lot of build guides or players recommending it. Not as Meta I suppose, but that doesn’t matter too much. Its still very strong.
