Build Details

How It Works
Summary

This build utilizes extremely powerful minions to easily crush content throughout the game.

Thanks to the damage and survivability buffs minions received in Season 2 this build has jumped up in power, and is now necro's best build that doesn't need any uniques. We make use of a variety of buffs to our minions to allow them to dish out loads of damage, and use Corpse Tendrils to easily group up and cleave down mobs.

In-Depth Explanation

Decrepify

A very important part of this build comes from Decrepify, specifically Abhorrent Decrepify. This will be procced by our Reapers and Reap. This extra Cooldown Reduction is vital to making the build work as it gives us way better uptime on Bone Storm and Corpse Tendrils. It is very important that you keep enemies Cursed at all times to maximize your CDR gain.

Gameplay Loop
  1. Reap to get a corpse
  2. Cast Corpse Tendrils to group up enemies
  3. Keep up your Skeletal Priest buff
  4. Decrepify, and then pop Army of the Dead to burst down the pack
  5. Spam Reap while your minions kill everything
