In the ever-evolving world of Diablo II Resurrected, the upcoming Season 7 is poised to deliver a game-changing experience for Necromancer enthusiasts. With a raft of substantial buffs and gameplay tweaks, the once-overlooked Summoner Necromancer is set to soar to unprecedented heights, offering players a thrilling and potentially overpowered playstyle.

One of the most significant changes comes in the form of a subtle yet impactful footnote during the recent Campfire Chat. The Summoner Necromancer, often considered a niche choice, is about to receive the biggest buff it has ever seen in the history of Diablo II. This tantalizing revelation has left the community abuzz with anticipation, eager to see the full extent of the class's newfound power.

Bone Spear, a beloved Necromancer skill, is also making a triumphant comeback, with a host of exciting new mechanics and synergies. A unique item called "Deus Memory" is set to transform Bone Spear into a Blood skill, while also turning Blood Wave into a Bone skill. The most intriguing aspect of this new item is that upon casting Blood Wave, players will receive a Bone Prison, along with an 80% multiplier to their Blood skills, including the revamped Bone Spear.

But the enhancements don't stop there. Bone Spear is now guaranteed to Critical Strike enemies within the Bone Prison, and it will also deal an impressive 20-40% increased damage to those unfortunate souls. To top it off, the unique pants associated with this item have an inherent property that reduces the cooldown of Blood Wave by 2 seconds whenever Bone Spear is cast. This synergistic interaction opens up the possibility of a relentless Bone Spear spam, fueled by the player's Blood-based abilities.

However, there's a catch – Bone Spear will now drain 10% of the player's maximum life with each cast, after hitting an enemy. To compensate for this life drain, the skill will also consume a surrounding corpse to launch an additional Bone Spear, potentially restoring some of the lost health. This mechanic will require careful management of corpses and life regeneration to maintain a sustainable Bone Spear playstyle.

Fortunately, the developers have also introduced a game-changing change to Rathma's Vigor, a key Necromancer passive. This passive now makes Bone Spear a Blood skill, effectively allowing it to benefit from the Overpowered damage bonus. The new unique item "CME's Legacy" further enhances the Blood Wave skill, causing it to emanate from the left and right sides of the player, essentially creating a devastating "butt cheek clap" effect. This item also grants a 25% cooldown reduction to Blood Wave, making it even more spammable.

The true game-changer, however, lies in the newfound interactions between Necromancer summons and the player's lucky hits. Shadow Clones, as well as all other Necromancer summons, will now have the ability to trigger the Tack skill, effectively attributing all of their damage to the player. This means that the player's lucky hit effects, such as cooldown reduction or elemental damage procs, can now be applied to the summons' attacks.

This opens up a world of possibilities for Necromancer minion builds. Suddenly, the once-mandatory Decreptify curse or Skeletal Reaper skill choices are no longer necessary to reduce cooldowns, as the player's summons can now do the work. Furthermore, the player's lucky hit effects, such as the chance to poison enemies or deal increased damage, can now be leveraged through their minions, creating a synergistic and potentially overpowered playstyle.

To further bolster the Summoner Necromancer, the developers are introducing a slew of new Runes and Witchcraft powers that cater specifically to minion-focused builds. The Nagur Rune, for example, promises to provide a substantial Offering boost for maintaining at least one summon for 5 seconds, with maximum benefits at six summons. The Igni Rune, on the other hand, stores Offering every 0.3 seconds, allowing the player to quickly amass this crucial resource simply by existing with any non-basic skill.

The Witchcraft power "Necromantic Empowerment" is another standout feature, granting a 15-second buff to the player's minions after casting the Soul Rift ultimate skill. This buff enlarges the minions and grants them a 100% critical strike chance, turning them into a fearsome army of undead warriors.

To further enhance the Summoner Necromancer's prowess, a new gem is being introduced that can be socketed into rings. This gem provides armor and resistance to all elements, while also granting a 25% increase in direct damage dealt by the player's summons. Combined with the other Necromancer-centric changes, this gem promises to make the Summoner Necromancer a true force to be reckoned with.

As the community eagerly awaits the full patch notes, the anticipation for Diablo II Resurrected's Season 7 continues to build. The Necromancer, long considered a niche or underperforming choice, is poised to rise to new heights, offering players a thrilling and potentially overpowered playstyle centered around their loyal undead minions.
