Help Please

[Ironmage]

I know this is a newbie questions and I cannot believe I actually have to ask but...

I picked up BG DA2 last night and I started playing with the Necromancer in a coop game and the animate dead spell would only sometimes work. Do you need a friendly dead body or any dead creature will do to raise.

Most of the time it would start to raise and than disappear.

Please help me.


Thanks

You have enough magic?
And i believe you cant be interupted while casting (walking or being hit)

[Ironmage]

Yes I have enough magic. After casting the spell I still have some left. I am lvl 10 with 2 skill point spent in animate dead

I don't think you even need a body, but I am not sure about that.

A friend of mine had a problem with switching between skills without using the "shift". If he switched skills and immediately pressed the button for the new skill, he would first use the previous skill once before using the new skill. Perhaps this is what happening.
If not, I am not sure and have not played necro enough to be able to tell.

[Ironmage]

I am afraid that is not it either. I actually start to see the skeleton come out of the ground than it just fails most of the time.

I am just wondering if all I should half to do is cast the spell and the skeleton should appear.

Well, I did play necro last night and all I needed was to press the button and a skeleton would appear. I didn't even need a body.

Have you tried playing your necro in another game?

[Ironmage]

I figured it out. If you hold the button it tries to cast the spell again. You just have to press it once and than you have your Skeleton.

Thanks for the Hellp
