Inarius Bone Storm Necromancer Speed Farming Variation

The Inarius Bone Storm Necromancer deals excellently with Normal Rift farming all the way through the highest Torment difficulties. With the appropriate gear modifications outlined below, it should also prove as a reliable and capable bounty farming build.

Within the limited scope of regular difficulties, the necessary damage and toughness to triumph over the enemy is significantly smaller. Thus, your best course of action is to improve utility and speed.

Active Skills
Grim Scythe Cursed Scythe Blood Rush Metabolism 1 Frailty Aura of Frailty 2 Bone Armor Dislocation 3 Corpse Lance Brittle Touch 4 Land of the Dead Shallow Graves
Passive Skills
Stand Alone Spreading Malediction Fueled by Death Overwhelming Essence

In the skill selection, you will accomplish that by:

• Making a mental note to spam Bone Armor on enemy packs during In-geom uptime. The In-geom proc will effectively nullify that cooldown, allowing you an easy proc of Krysbin's Sentence on every pack with a Dislocation cast.
• Swapping the defensive Potency rune of Blood Rush for the double charges of Metabolism.
• Swapping the defensive Decrepify curse for the automated, offense staple Frailty Aura of Frailty. Note the extension of the aura radius through your gold pickup radius — an important factor that you will influence through gearing (see below).
• Changing the defensive Frozen Lands rune on Land of the Dead with the longer lasting Shallow Graves rune.
• In the passives, replacing the progression-oriented Blood is Power CDR for the speed utility of Fueled by Death.

The balancing act of the Endless Walk set greatly diminishes in usefulness during Normal Rift farming. When doing farming content, the recommended jewelry split is to retain Krysbin's Sentence (for the consistent damage increase) and an Avarice Band. Avarice Band is an Act III cache legendary that, in conjunction with a gemmed Boon of the Hoarder and a worn Goldwrap, will render you practically invulnerable during Normal Rift farming. Note that it also extends your pickup radius up to the whopping 30 yards as you pick up gold, enabling a near screen-wide effect to Aura of Frailty.

Ideally you will finish off the farming jewelry with a nicely rolled Wisdom of Kalan. This enables you to store Ring of Royal Grandeur in the jewelry Cube slot, and to drop an Inarius set piece for a speed farming-appropriate legendary. An example of that would be to drop Inarius's Perseverance for the movement speed increase of Steuart's Greaves.

Since you will be dropping Decrepify in favor of maximizing offense and utility, you should make up the toughness loss with a Goldwrap in the place of Dayntee's Binding.

Finish off the farming staple items by dropping Ancient Parthan Defenders' damage reduction for the extra elites of Nemesis Bracers, feeding nicely into your cubed In-geom.

To help you with farming the gear you need for your builds, we have two very useful guides that you can access by clicking the links below: a Salvage Guide to help you quickly check whether or not you can safely salvage a piece of gear and a Legendary Farming Guide to help you efficiently farm legendaries and set items.

In speed runs, sheer number of attacks required to take down enemies is much smaller, allowing you to cut out Gem of Efficacious Toxin in favor of Boon of the Hoarder — part of the gold utility triumvirate outlined above.

As previously mentioned, it is recommended that you swap out Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang from the Weapon slot in Kanai's Cube; its damage multiplication is welcome if you need it, but it ends up being a slower option to simply cubing In-geom. This speed farming staple cuts cooldowns by 10 seconds flat for a generous 15 second period after killing an elite, ensuring very high uptime on vital cooldowns and resulting in higher damage overall.

Depending on your confidence in your own toughness, you can also drop Aquila Cuirass for the extra movement speed of Warzechian Armguards, who proc consistently off the environment destruction caused by the bone tornado.

In case you follow our recommendation to wear Steuart's Greaves during speed farming for the added maneuverability, you will need to take Ring of Royal Grandeur in the jewelry Cube slot.

In your 4th Kanai's Cube slot in Season 22, place Krelm's Buff Belt for even greater mobility during speed farming — especially useful in bounties, where you routinely have to cross great distances with nary a fight to be had.

The Kanai's Cube can be used for much more than simply extracting Legendary powers from items. Please refer to our Kanai's Cube guide for more information.
