Build Overview

With Season 15 in full swing, Minions have come out as a clear top contender for the Necromancer class thanks to the Uniques Deathgrip and Bloodless Scream to give your Skeletal Warriors: Reapers the spotlight for tons of damage.

This build brings out all the best the Necromancer has to offer to bring the undead army back to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Not Use The Army Of The Dead Charm Set?

The Fer of the Waking Touch is a very unfortunate charm set, as minion size and maximum life are both stats that have very little use to any minion build. The 25% attack speed gained from the 5 piece set effect and 60% from the 2 piece set effect are much worse than the damage multipliers gained from the Fer of the Black Shroud set even after accounting for the higher uptime on Army of the Dead.

Why Is Attack Speed So Important?

It is extremely important that you get to 100% minion attack speed to fully scale the Cult Leader paragon node. To make sure you have enough attack speed, go into your character sheet and add your attack speed with the stat, "Minion Attack Speed". That numbers needs to be 100% or greater.
