Build Overview

This is currently one of the strongest Necromancer builds in the game, if not the strongest. It revolves around the Necromancer’s Key Passive, 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 farm the gear required for this build.

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank increases base stats and all affixes by 1%, up to 25 ranks. At max Masterworking, one random affix receives a 50% bonus. This can include a Tempered affix or a Greater Affix. The boosted affix is highlighted in a different color.

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.

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.
