How it Plays

  1. Get near to enemies, as the Decrepify aura will trigger your minions to attack.
  2. Pull large packs together with Golem taunt.
  3. Use Reap to generate a corpse for the first auto cast of Corpse Tendrils
  4. Wait a second and manually cast a second Corpse Tendrils.
  5. Keep up skeletal priest buff on shadow
  6. Rinse and repeat.

How it Works

This is a Shadow Necro build (which was inspired by my Hardcore Golem-Mancer) with almost immortal minions as your accompany and main source of damage.

With the addition of Malignant Hearts in Season 1 you will now also use a combination of Corpse Explosion as it synergizes way too good with the Sacrilegious Heart, your Blighted Aspect and your Shadowblight key passive, increasing not only your overall damage but ALSO your minion damage by a ton!
