Build Overview

This build is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to level as necromancer in Season 4:
Minions have had the following huge buffs in Season 4, and therefore a full minion build will be fantastic for leveling:

  • minions now inherit players stats
  • minions AI changed. skeletal warriors will now charge ahead of the player
  • All parts of the book of the dead have been buffed.

Also chose to take corpse tendtrils/explosion here over any curses to make leveling that much faster and smoother.

Our minions and corpse explotion do all of the work here. So every aspect should be focusing on increasing the damage and attack speed of our minions. Reanimation on the 2h and frenzied dead on amulet will give the biggest impact here due to minion damage.

How it Plays

Your goal here is to summon and army of minions, group everything together with Corpse Tendrils and blast them down with corpse explosion. go for Army of the Dead when you want a big damage burst like bosses.

  1. Raise Skeleton to summon minion army - and keep resummoning if they die.
  2. Use Raise Skeleton at minion cap to spawn skeletal priest for buff + healing.
  3. use **Corpse Tendrils on CD to bring mobs together
  4. Use Raise Golem on CD to deal damage
  5. Cast Sever until out of mana
  6. Use Corpse Explosion to blast packs of enemies down
  7. Army of the Dead (ultimate) on elites/bosses and big groups

How it Works

This is a pure summoner build, where we put almost all of our power into making our minions stronger.

with all of our aspects we will have 4 additional minions including our golem giving us a total of 15 minions at all time, that are defended with lots of defensives and we can empower in lots of different ways. With all the buffs to Minions in season 4, this will destroy mobs with huge AoE damage, will delete bosses in seconds and will level you easily to tier 4 with very little work.
