Each corpse consumed in the Land of the Dead grants a stack of Macabre Knowledge. Darn good way to group enemies for a quick Bone Spearing, if nothing else. You might be able to pull off a melee Trag’Oul with Grim Scythe:Cursed Scythe, Bone Armor:Thy Flesh Sustained, Decrepify:Borrowed Time plus Dayntee’s Binding, then a healing skill like Devour:Cannibalize with Requiem Cereplate or whatever else you have (maybe even the Leech curse for added flavor), then top it off with a close-range attack skill like Army of the Dead:Dead Storm or Death Nova:Blood Nova for the killing blow. Even when you’re sitting safely behind a wall of meat- err, bones, you’re still very much involved in the fight and need to pay close attention to how the battle is going if you want your minions to do anything resembling good damage. The Necromancer is a seventh playable class of Diablo III and added in Diablo III: Rise of the Necromancer. 2. Your Bone Spirit’s damage is increased by 100% for every second it’s active. The only time you wouldn’t want to consider at least Cubing this is if you really, really need a 200%-300% or more boost to one or two particular skills rather than a 150%-200% boost to all skills, such as with Pestilence or Rathma. Death Nova deals [20-30]% increased damage for every enemy within 15 yards. Jack, diddly, or squat. Guess what I didn’t find? It was revealed at BlizzCon 2016. And on that note, it’s also useful for Iron Rose which auto-casts Blood Nova, which counts as casting a secondary skill so your Simulacrums will auto-cast it every time you do, which can get downright silly when paired with the Funerary Pick and Trag’Oul’s set. [16] When implementing the class various ideas were pitched from various departments within Blizzard. It’s literally everything you need. Diablo 3 Season 19 Necromancer Builds This beginner build is for Necromancers at Fresh level 70, who have the Pestilence Master’s Shroud set. However, the Necromancer does seem viable in a support role thanks to pets and curses. Skeletal Mage is one of those supremely useful skills that can benefit almost every build that doesn’t use Inarius and the Stand Alone passive. In other words, this belt makes you the opposite of dainty. The necromancer commands a powerful array of undead magic and abilities. Don’t judge me, I thought it’d be a class-restricted item like the other classes have. Unity. He/she holds the rank of acolyte, and possesses no relation to the Necromancer who defeated Diablo two decades prior. Since it’s specifically for Command Skeletons, anything that works with the skill such as Bloodsong Mail will also be helpful here. by Skepparn last updated Jul 9, 2020 (Season 21 ) Seasonal. Your choice of passives comes down to whether you want to boost Bone Spear more or if you want to capitalize on corpse consumption mechanics to make Blood Spear a viable option. If you don’t have it on your skill bar, then it doesn’t get the 3,300% damage bonus and its damage will be pretty much nil. You might’ve seen me mentioning this item several times in this thread. Their scythes are used not to hew crops, but to collect the life force of their foes, and to slice open corpses, powering some of their most horrifying spells. Of course, the set also gives you ways to get that back really fast, and much like Inarius this could very well be a feature if you play your cards right. The main trick here is that it works with the Overwhelming Essence passive and those otherwise useless secondary item effects that boost your maximum Essence by 20 or so, which gives you a reason to run around with nearly endless amounts of the stuff. The necromancer is the newest playable class in Diablo III for Xbox One and PC. Thematically, the Diablo III Necromancer is based around blood. Pretty much only corpse-based Trag’Ouls will use this, since no other set gives damage modifiers to corpse skills. Solo. All dies and rots, and will then nourish the living. [3] New technology has been developed for the Necromancer, as it's an effects-heavy class. Solo. I suppose I should mention that the Jesseth Skullshield is a shield and not a phylactery, in case you were dumb like me and spend three days farming phylacteries wondering why it wasn’t popping up. Though most do not understand us, we go where we are needed. [10], Sacrificing health to benefit pets isn't currently being considered; however, Life Support and similar mechanics fulfill this role.[8]. The thing is, you’ll need a source of corpses if you want the build to function at all, because otherwise you’re either going to run out of Empowered Bone Spear charges at some point or you’ll never get them in the first place because you can’t kill anything. You’d think this item would bear mentioning along with Grace of Inarius or at least Trag’Oul’s Corroded Fang, but the sad truth is that, while it is pretty okay, there are just other, better things you could be using. Scythe of the Cycle necessitates Bone Armor, but whether you use Wisdom of Kalan or Haunted Visions depends on whether or not you want Simulacrum. (6) Set: Each corpse you consume grants you an empowered Bone Spear charge that increases the damage of your next Bone Spear by 3,000%. Final Service is more useful with this set than it is with the others, since you’ll heal for a ton when it goes off and Skeletons respawn so fast. Diablo 3 set items are of particular interest to players, because they, unlike other items, become even more powerful when used with other items in the set. Since Necros generate corpses with every kill and you might as well use them for something anyways, it’s not a bad idea to run around with Devour, Corpse Lance:Blood Lance, or Revive:Oblation just to get some benefit out of the mess. Solo. You’ll basically double your damage output (or triple it with the Blood and Bone rune). If you’re using Death Nova, this makes it awesome.

The skeletal minions at the necromancer’s disposal also disrupt enemy lines and scatter their ranks, making them easy prey for both the Priests and their allies. They are only visible to Necromancers, and appear regardless of whether or not an actual monster corpse was destroyed. Macabre Knowledge increases the damage of Corpse Lance and Corpse Explosion by [150-200]% while outside Land of the Dead. Decrepify also has a bunch of useful runes, including Dizzying Curse which gives the enemy a 10% chance to be stunned when hit, which pairs nicely with the Ancient Parthan Defenders bracers and the Dislocation rune for Bone Armor. (6) Set: Bone Armor also activates a swirling tornado of bone, damaging nearby enemies for 1000% weapon damage and increasing the damage they take from the Necromancer by 10,000%. It’s less obvious, but there’s also a subtle theme of curses being useful for the Inarius set. Rathma’s Shield is always nifty, but it deserves a special mention here since Rathma’s set can actually cast Army of the Dead more frequently than every two entire god damned minutes. They’re also trained in the use of phylacteries, unusual objects that enhance their power over the dead..". Land of the Dead is already 10 seconds of omnipotence, but Bloodsong Mail takes that awesomeness and applies it to Command Skeletons, which already gets really badass with Jesseth Arms and Bone Ringer. And a new army of the dead shall rise at my command. Everything else I haven’t gotten around to yet, but until the Inarius fun dies, I don’t see myself doing much else. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Revive now consumes all corpses to raise a minion that deals [125-150]% more damage per corpse.

(Necromancer Only) [2 - 4] One of 3 Magic Properties (varies) +[416 - 500] Dexterity It does not regenerate automatically, but is only gained from skills.[9]. Pestilence might appreciate Cubing this one for the added defense when using Flesh Golem (though you’d have to give up either Moribund Gauntlets or Requiem Cereplate), but it takes Rathma to really abuse it and push the Golem’s damage through the roof. On the flip side, Life from Death will let you generate health globes by using Devour, and Blood for Blood removes the health cost of Blood spells like Blood Spear so you can use it without killing yourself (though it does give you yet another stack to keep track of). (4) Set: Bone Armor grants an additional 3% damage reduction per enemy hit. [10], The Necromancer is playable in both Campaign and Adventure Mode, fully voiced, and has new tomes to flesh out their backstory. Popular Necromancer skill combinations include: Secondary SkillsBone Spear • Skeletal Mage • Death Nova You deal [75-100]% increased damage against slowed enemies or triple this bonus against enemies afflicted by any other type of control-impairing effect.

This doesn’t help much with Trag’Oul since it isn’t the Blood Nova, but if you have a Simulacrum or two out they’ll auto-cast your equipped Death Nova every time the Bone Nova goes off (if you don’t have Death Nova equipped, they’ll just cast a basic runeless Death Nova).

[8] There are skills and skill runes that can create corpses so that player always has access to some even if there are no lesser enemies around. For I wield the power they cannot. Players now cause elemental … There’s a kind of juxtaposition between good and evil, and from there a grey line where the Necromancer lives. Needless to say, this is mutually exclusive with Trag’Oul since they’ll want the Blood runes instead, and Rathma’s will have severe gear slot syndrome with this since they’ll normally have all their weapon and Cube slots used up by Jesseth and Bone Ringer. You gain 50% increased movement speed for 2 seconds after using Blood Rush. Thus, skills like Blood Rush which let you instantly teleport into fighting range are super useful, as are powerful melee-range skills such as Death Nova or Corpse Explosion with the Close Quarters rune. You’ll want Extended Servitude so your all-important Skeletal Mages stick around longer, and Commander of the Risen Dead is worth considering if you’re using the Golem or don’t have Jesseth to effectively remove the Essence cost of Command Skeletons.

[14] There was a desire to implement the Necromancer post-release, so the skills of the Witch Doctor were designed to avoid overlap with a possible future necromancer class. On that note, is it just me or does the Necromancer only have two class-restricted item types when other classes have three? As such, Convention of Elements is especially effective for Necromancers.

This set is immortal, its compatible with latest patch and you can do rifts at max level 150. Diablo III; Next Necromancer sets?

As with all items that add skill runes, you can’t double up by equipping the same rune to the skill itself, so try to equip a rune with practical applications like Death Valley or Dead Storm. And the Balance that sustained us...has been lost. You’re restricted to Life-costing skills here (referred to in-game as “Blood skills”), but that’s hardly a restriction; nine different skills all have Blood runes, ranging from direct damage projectiles to summons and even a few support buffs (which technically gain no benefit from this set aside from matching the theme), and beyond that the set also boosts healing from HP recovery skills and buffs the everloving **** out of Blood Rush. It was only fixed in patch 2.6.0A. In fact, if you have Inarius but not this, you’re doing something terribly wrong. All who oppose me…beware.

Mostly for Rathma and its minion-centric playstyle, but Trag’Oul might be able to pull off a Blood version if you really want to. (2) Set: Each corpse you consume fires a Corpse Lance at a nearby enemy. Whether they wield massive curved blades at the end of long poles, or curled, light blades more appropriate for finely harvesting organs, necromancers are deadly with any scythe. Can then transition into a GR pushing variant. And since we’re talking about losing health and all, if you’re using either of the minion Blood spells (Skeletal Mage:Life Support or Revive:Oblation), then you might also want to consider the passive Grisly Tribute, which heals you for 10% health each time your minions hit an enemy. Of course, any build that uses Bone Spear, Death Nova, or Skeletal Mage can benefit from this too, and since that’s virtually all of them and a little bit of extra survivability never hurt anyone… well, you see what I’m getting at.

[13] According to Jay Wilson, a key difference between the classes is that the Witch Doctor is more inclined to deal direct damage than the Necromancer, which aside from specific builds, was pet heavy. It was felt that given the dark, serious nature of the class, Necromancers dancing would feel out of place. They can make benefits for them by reviving the corpse and cursing enemies.

I just finished grinding out all the necromancer gear, and set myself up with Inarius.
