Diablo 4 Necromancer BuildGigachad Minions
This build utilizes extremely powerful minions to easily crush content throughout the game. We are able to get almost 100% uptime on Bone Storm and Blighted Aspect giving our minions a gigantic damage buff. This setup is not only Necromancer's best end game build, but its also our best leveling and mid game build. Minions are finally OP.
The perfected end game setup that you can start to play once you fully min max and perfect your build. This setup is incredibly mobile but still brings both absurd damage and survivability. We are also focusing more heavily on specifically buffing the Golem instead of our Mages. This is the final end game version of the build.
In the final End Game variation of the build we are focused fully on our Golem. Because of this we are swapping our Skeletal Mage rune to buff our Golem even further.
We are adding in Tyrael's Might for a massive survivability increase and looking to get perfect rolls on our gear. Because of these perfect rolls were able to drop the Aspect of Slaughter and gain Aspect of Might for the damage reduction.
I have marked the highest priority Greater Affix on each piece of gear but keep in mind that any and all Greater Affix rolls are good!
Build Notes
- Always keep up Skeletal Priest
- Use Corpse Tendrils on CD
- Use Bone Storm if there's an elite
- Use Blood Mist to dodge any big hits
Minions are without a doubt the biggest winner from the season 4 patch and are now arguably the best build in the entire game. Their damage, survivability, and accessibility are all the highest of any Necro build. There were 2 primary buffs that pushed Minions to this level; the first was the change where Minions now inherit 100% of your stats, and the second were the buffs to the Book of the Dead.
The 100% stat inheritance has allowed your minions to easily achieve both armor cap and resistance cap, meaning they are wildly tanky. Because they are resistance and armor capped just from your stats, you no longer need to spend paragon or skill points increasing your minion's armor or resistances. They are also now receiving 100% of both your attack speed and crit chance, giving them access to two massive damage stats.
The buffs to the Book of the Dead were massive. Your Shadow Mages attacks now pierce enemies and your Golem's effects are incredibly powerful. In particular the Iron Golem shockwave gives you a ton of extra damage. The piercing attacks from Mages allow you to quickly blast through high density areas, especially when paired with Corpse Tendrils. The Skeletal Warriors also received a massive buff and are now able to massively reduce all of your cooldowns, giving you much better uptime on both Corpse Tendrils and Bone Storm.
