Build:N/Mo 105hp Farmer

This Necromancer build uses the a 55 monk template (although with 105hp, as 55 is not strictly necessary for this setup) to reduce incoming damage to zero while using Spiteful Spirit to farm groups, and is also capable of farming bosses in those groups. For a build specifically tailored to boss farming, see Build:N/Mo 55hp Boss Farmer.
