Necromancer Class Name
Necro Main

Necromancer is a mastery in Grim Dawn, added by the Ashes of Malmouth expansion. They make heavy use of vitality-damaging magic and summoning skeletal minions, but they also use ranged or sometimes even melee weapons in combat.

Lore[ | ]

Although they primarily engage in the weaving of magic, necromancers are aptly equipped to enter the fray in close quarters, or to weave their death magic into ranged weaponry. Do not for a moment think that a cornered necromancer is easy prey.
