Tips from Game8	We focus on providing support and utility to allies. We can bait enemies by providing allies shields from Bone Armor, blocking choke points in the arena with Bone Wall, or just imprisoning them with it while keeping them in place with Bone Spikes. The build is meant to be as annoying to enemies as possible while being unkillable at the same time.

The Necromancer is a class that has great synergy with pet-based gems and offensive gems due to the Necromancer's nature of dividing damage between the Necromancer and its pets. Skeletons and Golems can easily tank damage so focusing on durability is often considered a poor choice for the Necromancer.

Berserker's Eye

Increases your damage but also increases the damage you take. Fortunately, this is not an issue for the Necromancer as your summons can easily divide enemy attention which naturally increases your survivability. Play around with your summons and you should not even feel the downside of this gem.

Everlasting Torment

Everlasting Torment is a critical-based gem and it works wonders for all classes but especially more for the Necromancer. The Necromancer has a natural synergy with the Shepherd set which at 4 sets, grants the Necromancer a flat 18% critical strike bonus with 6 summons up.

Follower's Burden

An easy flat bonus damage multiplier for the Necromancer. Necromancer is the only class that can easily make use of this gem at the moment and to such a great extent so make sure to use this if you're playing a pet-based build.

Bloody Reach

Increases the damage you deal to enemies the farther you are away from them. This works wonders for the Necromancer since the gem tracks the damage bonus based on your position not your summons so all your summons will instantly deal more damage just by you walking away from enemies they are hitting. We do not advise using this gem if you don't have the Golem skill in your character build or have it but have it's taunt property removed.

Blood-Soaked Jade

The best gem in the game and is a must-have for any character in the game. It flat out gives an insane amount of DPS which is welcome for any build with the Necromancer not being an exception.

Fervent Fang

Can easily be stacked to the maximum with your pets and damage over time skills. Avoid taking this gem if you don't have high damage over time skills or summons that can attack in quick successions like the Skeletal Mages and Skeleton warriors.

Best Necromancer Build Skills

Lv	Skill Type	Effect
1	Command Skeletons	Active: Command your skeletal champions to charge to a location and increase attack speed by 80% for 4.5 seconds. Passive: Raise a skeletal champion every 8 seconds to a max of 4. Skeletal champions deal X damage per attack.
3	Corpse Explosion	Detonate all corpses in the target area, each corpse dealing X damage to all nearby enemies. Enemies struck by multiple simultaneous explosions take 40% cumulatively reduced damage for each additional hit.
20	Skeletal Mage	Summon an immobile skeletal mage for 13 seconds that throws bolts of soulfire in a direction, each dealing X damage to all enemies in the bolt's path. You may not command more than 6 total skeletal champions and skeletal mages.
50	Command Golem	Summon a bone golem for 24 seconds. When summoned, it will deal X damage to all nearby enemies and Stun them for 2 seconds. While it is active, you can order the golem to leap to a nearby location, where it will deal damage and force all nearby monsters to attack it for 6 seconds.

Having pets is the Necromancer's identity and each summons has its perks and skillset (which also changes depending on the legendaries equipped). These skills also enable a lot of items and gems to work wonders for the Necromancer so make sure to adjust your gears accordingly depending on the summons you have.

Aside from summoning skills, the Corpse Explosion skill is also one of the best skills you can slot in for the Necromancer as it greatly speeds up the Necromancer's clear speed against most enemies except raids.

Best Necromancer Build Gear

Equipment	Slot	Rarity	Affected Skill & Effect
Clotburst	Main Hand	Legendary	Corpse Explosion: Corpse Explosion damage increased by 10%
Desolatoria	Main Hand	Legendary	Command Golem: Command Golem now summons a molten golem that continually Burns all nearby enemies instead of forcing them to attack it or Stunning them.
Life in Balance	Off Hand	Legendary	Command Skeletons: 10% of all damage you take is taken by your skeletal champions instead.
Beacon of the Led	Off Hand	Legendary	Command Golem: Command Golem damage increased by 10%
Crown of the Gilded Leash	Head	Legendary	Command Skeletons: Command Skeletons now raises a single powerful skeletal captain that can be ordered to whirlwind at a location.
Hideous Dawning	Head	Legendary	Bone Spikes: Bone Spikes now also causes enemies to bleed for additional damage, but no longer Stuns them.
Rotspur	Shoulder	Legendary	Corpse Explosion: Corpse Explosion no longer detonates corpses, causing them instead to release blight on the area that poisons enemies for continual damage.
Parting Gift	Chest	Legendary	Bone Armor: Bone Armor now grants you and all nearby party members charges of damage immunity, each of which prevents all damage from a single hit.
Covet Nothing	Chest	Legendary	Bone Armor: Bone Armor now also damages nearby enemies when activated and increases their damage taken for a short time.
Soulchime	Legs	Legendary	Dark Curse: Dark Curse now causes enemies to explode on death, but no longer decreases enemy vision.

These are the absolute best weapons and armor for Necromancers in the current meta! Each of these items significantly improves some of the Necromancer's key skills and is crucial to almost every endgame build out there.

Best Necromancer Build Stats

A standard stat priority for Necromancer builds except for Willpower. Most of the Necromancer's stat priorities are offensive ones as we rely on summons to take the brunt of the damage for us which allows us to focus less on defensive stats than offensive ones.

We included Willpower in the stat priorities only for Necromancers that wish to bring the class to PvP as the Necromancer has a versatile kit that relies on applying crowd control to enemies with Bone Spike as a supportive and offensive tool. Otherwise, focus on the other stats if you wish to focus on PvE content.
