Mekuna's Shadowblight

Build Overview

This is currently one of the strongest Necromancer builds in the game, if not the strongest. It focuses on the Necromancer’s skill, Shadowblight to unleash massive AoE damage.

This is a Tower/Pit pushing build that requires full gear to function properly.
I recommend using the Golem build to progress through T1–T4 and endgame content to farm the gear needed for this build.

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 1%, up to 25 ranks. Fully Masterworking an item now gives a 50% upgrade to a random affix, which can be a Tempering Affix. The boosted affix will be colored differently to highlight it.

Use the Masterworking menu at the Blacksmith. You can reset the final Masterwork, so feel free to reroll it until you hit one of the recommended stats for the extra 50% bonus.

Leveling Path

Paragon Board

Level all your Glyphs to 15 first, one by one.
Then take each Glyph to 46, also one by one.
Once all of them are 46, you can level them evenly to 100, the order doesn’t really matter at that point. Make sure to unlock all the Legendary Nodes first.
