Build Mechanics
The build is designed to focus entirely on the Skeletal Arch-Mages via The Hand of Naz. We are then providing as many multipliers as possible to ramp their damage with the use of
Blight,
Army of the Dead, Runewords and our Legendary Aspects. Once a Skeletal Mage has attacked enemies 25 times they evolve into Skeletal Arch-Mages and their attacks will also trigger
Ring of Mendeln.
Rotation
Extremely straightforward:Raise Skeleton is used to make sure our army is buffed to deal more damage and heals them. We utilize
Corpse Tendrils and
Bone Prison to crowd control and group up enemies and makes our minions focus target the enemies within. Follow this up with
Blight to further scale the damage and our big damage button comes in the form of
Army of the Dead!
Runewords Synergy
The first Runeword we use starts with Igni which provides offering every 0.3 seconds and then gives us all that stored offering by casting a non-Basic Skill such as Blight or Corpse Tendrils. We combine this with
Gar which will keep pumping up increased Critical Strike Chance. Needless to say; don’t stop moving!
The second Runeword starts with Nagu this passively generates Offering for us by just having minions alive. This is combined with
Thul which invokes the Sorcerer’s Mystical Frost Nova to inflict both Freeze and Vulnerable onto enemies.
Alternative Runeword Set-Up
If you have access to Heir of Perdition you’ll lose
Aspect of the Cursed Aura which makes us change our runewords to the following set-up:
The Gar will simply be replaced with
Wat to apply curses on enemies automatically.
Which Elixirs Should You Use?
Visit the Alchemist and craft an Elixir providing any Resistance you need most, or the Elixir of Advantage II to increase Attack Speed. Some Elixirs cannot be crafted and only drop from activities like Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons. Additionally, make sure to keep your health potion upgraded!
The following Elixirs are useful for most Necromancer builds:
Elixir of Precision II provides the highest damage output increase.
Elixir of Advantage II increases your attack speed.
Elixir of Resourcefulness II helps with resource issues, if you struggle with resource management.
Elixir of Fortitude II for additional survivability.
Elixir of Destruction II for additional Overpower and Vulnerable damage.
