The Darkest Dungeon Necromancer at Level 5: A Game-Changer in Progression

In a recent push into the depths of Darkest Dungeon, I found myself at a crossroads with my necromancer at level 5. With a hefty sum of over 50,000 gold in the bank, even abandoning a mission yielded a substantial loot haul of 10,000 gold. This realization has tempered my concerns about getting 'owned' by the game's unforgiving difficulty. As it stands, there are no tangible rewards or progression milestones beyond upgrading characters to level 5 and completing missions for their own sake.

This lack of tangible incentives hasn't deterred me from embracing the challenge presented by the devs. In fact, I'm willing to take on even more daunting foes if that's what it takes to satiate my desire for progress. Stunning and relocating enemies has become a reliable strategy for dispatching beginners and veterans alike in dungeon crawls. However, attempting to stun 95% resistant foes is a different story altogether – expect to lose significant health and sanity in the process.

A recent attempt by fellow player Ottomic serves as a testament to this fact. With a full party of upgraded level 4 heroes, they struggled to land attacks and stuns, ultimately resulting in the loss of their hero Dismas and an aborted mission just short of the objective. This experience underscores the importance of strategic planning and adaptability when tackling even the most formidable foes in Darkest Dungeon. As the game continues to evolve, I'm eager to see how future updates will shape the necromancer's role in progressing through the dungeons.
