Heiho,
I didn't want to post further here, but since Doc has joined and gets basically the same ignorance than me it's maybe time to write some really serious things down.
First, don't patronize other people by repeatedly doubting their experience just because they criticize your build. I don't know about Doc, but I've played Necromancers to great variety from DiabloII release on. With and without CE focus, and with all the mistakes you can make with that char. Including going for Skeletons in 1.00 and going for IM/Thorns from D2C to LoD.
Secondly I never ever needed a 3rd party modding tool, which is in the way you repeatedly suggest it in fact a cheating tool. _My_ experience comes with playing my chars from the very first Quill Rat in Act1/Normal Blood Moor up to BigD/Hell, respectively Baal/Hell. Maybe this is the reason why my experience is worse than both of you, pakman and Munkay, and I didn't ever get it work to revive unrevivable monsters, as an example.
And thirdly you, Munkay, especially talk rubbish when it comes to compare different builds even of one class. I have a still active Overlord which managed to boost his Skeletons to sLvl35 about. They tear everything apart to pieces in their way, still in 8ppl. Maybe you should follow your own advice and get some experience with it. And there is nothing expensive about that build, at least nothing more expensive than pushing any two other given skills into the sLvl40s.
And there is simply no other build with less need in items to start a char with than the Overlord. Combine it with CE and you have a char able to solo naked through the game.
And now, I promise, I'm really off this tavern thread. Feel free to visit the Armory if you want to seriously discuss build strategies, or the Workshop, if you want to learn something about skills and mechanisms.
Note that I'll report any advertising on cheating there.
