−	=Amplify Damage=	+	{{:Amplify Damage}}
−	'''Required Level:''' 1<br />
−	'''Prerequisites:''' None<br />
−	'''Details:''' Amplify damage greatly increases the physical damage taken by any afflicted target.  Use this on monsters that are being beaten on by minions or other players. It's of less use for the Necromancer himself since his melee and bow attacks are so weak. (Some rare melee necromancer builds not withstanding.)
−	* Amplify Damage lowers the targets resistance to physical damage by 100%.
−	* Amplify Damage will "break" physical immunity in almost all cases.
−	* Amplify Damage teams nicely with Corpse Explosion, since that spell deals 50% fire and 50% physical damage.

−	'''Prerequisites:''': None<br />
−	'''Details:''' Monsters that have had their vision dimmed no longer see their enemies. They will stand still, or randomly move in short distances, but will fight back against melee attackers.
−	* This curse does not work on other players in PVP.
−	* Does not work on Oblivion Knights, Super Unique Monsters and Bosses.
−	* Dim Vision will stack on a monster Cursed with Attract or Confuse, but will be overwritten by those curses if Dim Vision is active first.
−	* Most monsters will not use their special attacks while cursed. Blood Lords will not Frenzy, Frozen Horrors will not use their icy breath, etc.
−	* Monsters already pursuing a target will continue pursuing it if hit with Dim Vision. They must reach the target or an obstruction before their AI resets and they go into dimmed mode.

−	=Iron Maiden=	+	{{:Weaken}}
−	'''Required Level:''' 12<br />
−	'''Prerequisites:''' Amplify Damage<br />
−	'''Details:''' Causes the physical, melee damage inflicted by the target to reflect back to themselves. Does not effect non-physical damage, or non-melee attacks.
−	* Iron Maiden does not affect archers, but does reflect damage to the Flayer blowdart gunners.
−	* Iron Maiden is best used against fast hitting melee monsters, especially if the Necromancer's minons are not capable of dealing high damage (which is better teamed with Amplify Damage.)
−	* The target still takes full damage when hit by an Iron Maiden'ed enemy. The Cursed monster just takes much more, reflected back.
−	* Iron Maiden is extremely dangerous when cast by Oblivion Knights; using any sort of physical damage melee attack in the vicinity of those monsters is very dangerous.
−	* Iron Maiden is nerfed in Nightmare and Hell, and in PVP.

−	* The small radius of Attract allows it to be used surgically; cast Iron Maiden on a large mob, then hit one a few individual monsters with Attract, and the pack will kill themselves hitting the Attracted enemy, damaging that monster in the process.
−	* Attract will not overwrite Confuse.
−	* Attracted Monsters can still be damaged (unlike Paladin Conversion).

Necromancer Skills
All Skills Curses Poison and Bone Summoning

The Necromancer's Curses are powerful magical skills that must be used cleverly to come to their full effect. Curses do not do direct damage, but are cast on monsters to increase the damage they take, slow them, blind them, and so on. Using the right curse in the right situation is what makes a Necromancer powerful, and the fact that almost no curses stack makes the choice and timing of which to use, and when to use it, quite important.

Amplify Damage[edit]

Required Level: 1
Prerequisites: None
Details: Amplify damage greatly increases the physical damage taken by any afflicted target. Use this on monsters that are being beaten on by minions or other players. It's of less use for the Necromancer himself since his melee and bow attacks are so weak. (Some rare melee Necromancer builds not withstanding.)

• Amplify Damage lowers the targets resistance to physical damage by 100%.
• Amplify Damage will "break" physical immunity in almost all cases.
• Amplify Damage teams nicely with Corpse Explosion, since that spell deals 50% fire and 50% physical damage.

Mana Cost:	4
Physical Resistance Reduction:	-100%

Amplify Damage Builds[edit]

• Bone Necromancer Build
• Summoner Necromancer Build

Dim Vision[edit]

Required Level: 6
Prerequisites:: None
Details: Monsters that have had their vision dimmed no longer see their enemies. They will stand still, or randomly move in short distances, but will fight back against melee attackers.

• This curse does not work on other players in PVP.
• Does not work on Oblivion Knights, SuperUnique Monsters and Bosses.
• Dim Vision will stack on a monster Cursed with Attract or Confuse, but will be overwritten by those curses if Dim Vision is active first.
• Most monsters will not use their special attacks while cursed. Blood Lords will not Frenzy, Frozen Horrors will not use their icy breath, etc.
• Monsters already pursuing a target will continue pursuing it if hit with Dim Vision. They must reach the target or an obstruction before their AI resets and they go into dimmed mode.

Mana Cost:	9

Iron Maiden[edit]

Required Level: 12
Prerequisites: Amplify Damage
Details: Causes the physical, melee damage inflicted by the target to reflect back to themselves. Does not effect non-physical damage, or non-melee attacks.

• Iron Maiden does not affect archers, but does reflect damage to the Flayer blowdart gunners.
• Iron Maiden is best used against fast hitting melee monsters, especially if the Necromancer's minons are not capable of dealing high damage (which is better teamed with Amplify Damage.)
• The target still takes full damage when hit by an Iron Maiden'ed enemy. The Cursed monster just takes much more, reflected back.
• Iron Maiden is nerfed in Nightmare and Hell, and in PVP.

Mana Cost:	5
Radius:	4.6 Yards

Required Level: 18

Attract[edit]

Required Level: 24
Prerequisites: Dim Vision, Confuse
Details: A monster with Attract cast on it becomes the target of aggression to all other monsters in the vicinity. This skill does not change the monster's AI, it just makes all the other monsters hate it.

• Attract will not work on other players, Oblivion Knights, SuperUnique Monsters, or Bosses.
• The small radius of Attract allows it to be used surgically; cast Iron Maiden on a large mob, then hit one a few individual monsters with Attract, and the pack will kill themselves hitting the Attracted enemy, damaging that monster in the process.
• Attract will not overwrite Confuse.
• Attracted Monsters can still be damaged (unlike Paladin Conversion).

Required Level: 30
Prerequisites: Weaken, Amplify Damage, Terror, Iron Maiden, Life Tap, Decrepify.
