Check out the video guide for more detailed information and alternative ways to setup the build. In my opinion, this variation is the best to get you up to Torment as fast as humanly possible.

Minion Necromancer paired with Blood Surge has been one of the strongest leveling builds in all of Diablo 4 for nearly a year now, and with each season it only gets stronger. For Season 6, it's as strong as it's ever been. Your minions do insane damage, with Blood Surge being a nice addition to help you do some on demand damage when needed. This build will also transition well into the endgame, where you can swap to a full minion setup and easily decimate the whole game.

You can ditch Reap, Blood Surge, or Soulrift in favor of Golem if you prefer
