Build Overview

This is a Guide for Vaal Absolution Necromancer Build - League Starter to Endgame.

It is similar to my Guardian Build https://mobalytics.gg/poe/builds/ronarray-holy-absolution-guardian that I'm going to play myself in 3.28 - but since a lot of people wanted a separate Necromancer version I have created that guide.

Absolution got BUFFED in 3.28 so it should be pretty great to league start it now.

With Necromancer you can also swap to variety of other minion builds or to Witch variations later on.

About the Build

Absolution been a very popular as a leveling skill before and after a big set of buffs in 3.28 it finally makes a proper comeback.

Absolution Necromancer Build should be very easy to progress, Commander of Darkness can help with damage and resistances early on and Bone Barrier can provide sustain from Life Leech when your minions are attacking.

We can also use Doryani's Prototype in the endgame to scale the damage in the same way as Guardian.

Build also have solid defences, with Block, Endurance charges, Leech and can also use Mistress of Sacrifice if needed to survive even better.

Using Corruption Embrace Chaos Ascendency uptime of Vaal Absolution minion will be close to 100% as well.

And Eldritch Battery is fixing all mana issues
