Diablo 4 Necromancer Build[S8 Leveling] Necromancer – Raise an Undead Army 💀⚔️
⚡ Sagi's here, Diablo Partner & Mobalytics Creator.
A powerful and easy build that turns you into a battlefield commander.
Use Reap, Decompose, Sever, and Soulrift to generate essence and corpses while your undead army does the heavy lifting.
With Corpse Tendrils, this build clears the campaign fast and safe — perfect for beginners and veterans.
🔥 Top Necro leveling build — your Skeleton Army carries you to endgame without worrying about gear or complex rotations.
Optional: If you find it, Ring of Mendeln gives huge minion synergy and DPS.
🙏 Big thanks to Latilou for helping me theorycraft this one!
💀 Raise Skeletons and control the battlefield with Corpse Tendrils. ⚔️ Soulrift + Sever = burst, while Reap/Decompose fuel your undead army. 💎 With or without Mendeln, this variant carries hard from 1 to 60.
💀 Your chosen minions are Reapers (Warriors) for cooldown reduction, and Shadow Mages for extra pressure and damage.
🛠️ We sacrifice the Iron Golem to benefit from the critical strike damage bonus.
These choices optimize your damage output and skill uptime through the leveling phase.
🧠 Keep Decrepify on your bar until you drop Cursed Aura, then replace it with Reap.
🧩 This setup focuses on boosting minion generation, shadow damage, attack speed, and crit chance & damage, all synergizing with corpse skills.
✅ Core Aspects: Reanimation, Frenzied Dead, Occult Dominion, Blood Getter’s Aspect.
💀 Cursed Aura helps control the battlefield with curses.
🎲 These aspects represent the ideal case if you're lucky. The build still carries you to 60 with random gear and aspects.
🍀 Lucky Drop: Got Ring of Mendeln? Replace Frenzied Dead for a huge minion DPS boost.
strengths
Powerful Skeleton Army – good scaling and damage. - Excellent Single Target DPS — melts elites and bosses.
- Low APM – chill and easy to play while staying efficient.
weaknesses
Minions AI still a bit dumb (Blizzy plz fix). - Weak AoE early — you really feel it until you get the Ring of Mendeln.
- Low APM — also means you have to like when really chill.
Build Notes
💀 Decrepify all enemies to apply CC and help reduce your cooldowns.
⚡ Use Soulrift to gain Fortify, generate Essence, and make enemies Vulnerable.
☠️ Let your Minions do the killing — you're the commander!
🛠️ Cast some Sever to assist with battlefield cleanup.
🧠 Remember to consume corpses with Raise Skeleton to keep your minions' +30% DPS boost active.
GG Commander! 🏆
