[v6d] Summoner Necromancer

I think I'll add some basic info about summons, such as what % resists you should have in each difficulty, the max recommended % life to avoid roll over, minimum recommended +% damage, +% attack rating, and how +skills affect mercenary skills and ultimately damage. I think I also want to add that when fighting bosses, I found lolsummons to be highly effective at not dying, but I'm not sure why; I might add something about them later on depending on how it goes getting the charms. If anyone has questions or would like to see something about summons not in this guide, I'd like to be able to add it to make it as complete as possible so, post your suggestions here and I'll add them to my guide if I can. Thanks for reading this guide and/or contributing to it!

BTW, the first post was updated with some pictures and video.

it feels good to play again isn't it? I remember you said you delete the game because it took a big part of your life away,seems now you realize you actually happy to give that big part of life away

happy gaming

LOL, yes... it's sad but true. I hate this game so much. Yet I always come back. In some ways, I'd say this game is worse than any drug I have ever done!

I guess my next step for my necro is to get charms with my TU's and film it. Then get sacred whites and grays to replace my TU items to triple my defense. And later on, I'll see if I need SU's at all. So far this necro is more powerful than my last and last time, the ubers I did were hella easy, so we'll see what I need when the time comes.

And me too.
I removed this game some times in cMXL/quited in early ultimative and came back over and over again. Hate this game .

Had some free time before bed and decided to get some easy ubers and film them for the guide.

high res,I want that too but harder to reset skills

why your item's stats font looks so weird?

What your referring to is the Font Fix. In the list below, see "OPTIONAL" #2-4. Font Fix is discussed in the following threads:

Here are instructions (updated) I made to get Multi-Res, PlugY, and Font Fix working together:

UPDATED AND COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
1) Install D2 + Expansion (clean install ~ uninstall first) ----->IMPORTANT: Install with 2D no matter what
2) Download Patch 1.12a (HERE)
3) Install Patch 1.12a
4) Download PlugY zipped version (HERE)
5) Inside the Diablo II directory, extract PlugY there
6) Download Ultimative (HERE)
7) Inside the Diablo II directory, extract the Ultimative zip there and overwrite the PlugY.ini
8) Download MultiRes (HERE)
9) In the Diablo II folder, extract MultiRes
10) Open PlugY.ini and put "dlltoload=multires.dll" ----->IMPORTANT: I also did this for PlugYDefault.ini which is inside the PlugY folder which is inside your DII dir

Code:

[GENERAL]
ActivePlugin=1
DisableBattleNet=1
ActiveLogFile=0
DllToLoad=D2multires.dll
DllToLoad2=mmap.dll
ActiveCommands=1
ActiveCheckMemory=1
ActiveAllOthersFeatures=0

15) Download WindowBorderlessGaming (a fucking must) (HERE)
16) Install WindowBorderlessGaming (and read instructions:)

1. Run the app and start up a game.
2. Make sure you run the game in windowed mode before adding it to the app.
3. After you have set your game to run windowed, click the app's tray icon and select "Add window"
4. Go back to your game and while the game window is active press "F3"
5. From now on, your game should automatically be in windowed border-less mode, your settings are saved!

17) Create PlugY.exe shortcut and add to desktop ----->IMPORTANT: Before starting in windowed mode, load Diablo in full screen and set the screen resolution to match your desktops then Save and Exit!
18) On the PlugY shortcut, add -W to the parameters, give it Admin rights, and disable Desktop Composition
19) Run DII, then alt-tab out and run WindowBorderlessGaming, then return to DII and press F3. Congrats, your finished! Now every time you want to play MXLU, just click the PlugY icon on your desktop and your good to go!

**** OPTIONAL ****
The following adds graphical enhancement to your game. I highly recommend it! The Font Fix makes the fonts in DII beautiful! And I'm using mMap v0.4 to reveal each act automatically. I just turn off show monsters and missiles ~ I like that to remain a secret.

1) Optional if you use a maphack: "dlltoload2=maphack.dll" (see code from post #10) (HERE)
2) Download D2fixup.mpq and PlugYFontFix.zip (HERE)
3) In the Diablo II folder, extract PlugYFontFix
4) In the Diablo II folder, extract d2fixup.mpq
