age of wonders 3 best race for necromancer

Although do keep in mind skeleton will LOCK you out of lich form, one of your strongest abilities, so not particularly advised. Other possible options are shalore for reasons everyone knows, and skeleton for that sweet sweet bone shield, extra life, and effect reduction. Damage mod, all res, and highborn bloom allow you to use your soul hungry ability without care. Race for lich seems pretty easy, higher has everything you could want out of a class. After recently winning my first insane game in this beta patch I thought I would make a guide, which hopefully stays up to date for the stable release.

The idea of this build is to leverage rigor mortis to deal absurd damage numbers, easily getting over 6k damage, and to utilize grim shadow, lich form, and golden age of necromancy to drastically reduce the damage you take. The new necromancer has many, many, powerful tools for surviving any randboss, and has an enormous damage output both single target and AOE. Edit: This still works for 1.7.2, less powerful but still very strong
