It works in the dungeons and caves [as stated in the skill description].

I don't remember reading that! Hmm, after slogging my way through the dwarves, it may actually be worthwhile, could someone (who's not at work) confirm that it works underground?

Apparently they didn't bother to translate that part.

Walked into the undersea cavern on Islands of Freedom and as soon as I attacked resident vampires there, Ork Shaman attack rating went from 31/24 to 37/24 and then back to 31/24 as battle ended. Night Ops level 3, works as advertised.

Great, thanks for that Amamake, I was sure I hadn't read the underground part but now it makes the skill very useful (esp since it's so cheap)

Offers some useful bonuses, but once you get the “sacrifice” spell along with inquisitors (resurrect) and order magic (resurrect), it becomes less helpful. Investing 0/9/15 points to get 30-40% of soldiers back after battle may be worthwhile, but there are other ways to keep your troops healthy in most circumstances. Unless you are playing with a lot of undead, it is likely better to wait on this.

is this actually supposed to resurrect creaturs, or is it a mis translation and more compairable to the actuall necromancy skills of the HoMM games. it's not bringing back any of my living armies back from the dead, but i haven't really played much with undead troops to see if brings them back.

I also want to know if the Necromancy is only for unded troops... it doesn't say that in the skill description - it implies you can resurrect normal troops, but I haven't really seen that happen.... will regret wasting the ruins if it is only for undead.

I took Necro on my first toon but made a blunder elsewhere so I restarted. Anyhow, it worked on my Swordsmen, but at 15%, you have to lose at least 7 guys in a battle to get one rez'd. That only happened to me once by level 6 so I'm not sure if I'd take it again.

It works for living creatures (griffins, elves, etc), haven't tried on undeads

It only seems to resurrect one type of monsters per fight tho, for example if you lose 50 knights and 50 griffins, you could for example get 15 knightsa and that's it. I don't know how the type is determined (the one with most hp or leadership perhaps?)
