Introduction
The Bones of Rathma set sees a complete reimagining in Patch 2.7, one that transforms it into a Revive- and Bone Spirit-centric set that uses the power of his necromantic posse to empower an otherwise unassuming skill, and turn it into a steady stream of nukes that envelop and control the battlefield. This guide will cover all of its available playstyles. The base one presented on this page is the Greater Rift Solo Pushing Variation, but this build also has a Nephalem Rift Farming Variation and a Greater Rift Speed Farming Variation.
