The best Necromancer build in Diablo Immortal. What attributes, skills, equipment and gems to choose for the hero

What’s in the assembly

The Necromancer is usually used in two variants: a DPS hero to quickly deal maximum damage, or a support character. Our build combines both options and the greatest attack potential is unleashed in conjunction with the Bone Armor ability to protect against enemies.

The rest of the skills in the assembly include a variety of effects that differ from the standard when using the specified armor. Legendary gear in Diablo Immortal can make a big difference in skills, so finding the right gear will help you unlock the full potential of a necromancer hero.

The best traits for a necromancer

The game has five attributes: strength, intelligence, willpower, survivability and stamina. Below are all of them by key value for the necromancer (from important to less useful):

1. Intelligence.
2. Vitality
3. willpower.
4. steadfastness.
5. Power.

For any spell-based class, intelligence is an important stat. Necroment is no exception. Power is only relevant for a melee character, so not useful for a magical build. We recommend that you do not focus on this setting.

Attribute values ​​increase with equipment, so a necromancer character should primarily choose items with increased intelligence.

Vitality is also an important metric in the Necromancer build. It increases the hero’s vital indicators and allows you to survive in battles with opponents even in the most critical situations. The necromancer usually relies on his minions to deal damage and distract enemies, so increasing the survivability value will make the hero less weak and help him withstand more incoming damage.

The best skills for a necromancer

Abilities are spells used and special attacks that the player can use in combat. Below are the best skills for a necromancer:

1. Soulfire – unlocked at level 1.
2. Command Skeletons – unlocked at level 1.
3. Corpse Explosion – unlocked at level 3.
4. Bone Armor – unlocked at level 41.
5. Command Golem – Unlocked at level 50.

“Burning Soul” – the most important and very first ability for a necromancer. Later, at level 38, Bone Spear opens, which is an upgraded version of the original ability. We believe that such an alternative does not suit the necromancer. Due to the ranged damage, Soulfire will be the best in the hero build. When used, the ability activates an explosion when hitting the target, which will deal major damage to nearby demons and spread the ability’s effect on a group of enemies. In addition, it will come in handy later when using the Corpse Explosion ability.

“Lord of the Skeletons” will prove to be a very useful skill. Every eight seconds, a skeleton is summoned to fight on the player’s side. In the beginning, only two minions can be used, but in the future, the player can increase the limit of undead. The helpers attack any enemies they see and move the necromancer to the side. The character will be able to steer clear of the demons and calmly use a long-range ability.

“Leg armor” will open to the player much later than the previously described abilities. This support skill increases the armor of the hero and allies for a short period of time. Along with the Covet Nothing chest piece, which we’ll discuss in the next section, the necromancer will deal damage to nearby opponents and make them vulnerable to subsequent attacks.

“Lord of the Golems” – The last skill in the necromancer’s skill tree. When activated, a huge golem will appear on the battlefield. It will easily destroy all enemies and will also be able to stun briefly. After summoning the Stone Giant, when the ability is used again, the unit will jump at the enemies and divert their attention from the hero. This will help you get out of the crowd of enemies and distance yourself in a difficult situation.

The best equipment for a necromancer

In the beginning, the player will collect a variety of equipment, which in most cases will be useful only for a few levels. In the future, at a later stage of the game, more useful equipment will appear that will increase the necessary attributes of the hero and improve his skills. The following are the best equipment for a necromancer:

1. Main – Visitor sign.
2. Corps – Nothing to Desire (Covet Nothing).
3. Shoulders – Rotten Spurs (Rotspurs).
4. Legs – Digging Stronghold.
5. Right hand (head) – Wasteland (Desolatoria).
6. Left Hand – Ominous Trinity.
7. Set – Call of the Shepherd to Wolves.

The legendary helmet “Mark of the Visitor” gives the hero a unique bonus that extends the duration of the “Golem Master” ability by 20%. Wasteland is the main weapon for this necromancer build, which also improves the golem’s summoning ability. With this blade, the stone giant can rain fire on nearby enemies.

A chest piece of the specified outfit increases the effectiveness of the Bone Armor skill in the PvE build (against AI) – when activated, the skill deals damage to nearby demons and increases the damage they take. The leg armor, Bastion of the Sepulcher, can extend the duration of the Bone Armor ability by 25%. The item also modifies the Corpse Explosion ability, which when thrown will activate a poisonous cloud that will increase in damage over time.

The last artifact in the assembly is the Sinister Trinity. This device modifies the Soul Fire ability. When hitting the target, the magic ball will travel to the nearest enemy and deal extra damage.

In Diablo Immortal, there are special sets that provide additional bonuses when using equipment from a common set. In this case, the best set for the necromancer is Shepherd’s Call of the Wolves. This set significantly increases the damage for summoned units and is suitable for any Necromancer build. Below are the bonuses of using multiple items:

1. 2 items – Summoned minions deal 15% more damage.
2. 4 Items – Increases the chance of a Critical Attack by 3% per minion, up to a maximum of 18%.
3. 6 Items – When one of the summoned units deals a critical hit, each of them triggers a frenzy for 10 seconds. This process increases the minions’ damage and attack speed by 100%. The ingestion of rabies occurs once every 40 seconds.

Best gems for a necromancer

Each gear in the set has free gem slots. These gems allow you to improve the parameters of the weapon and the hero. There are two types of gems:

1. Plain – included in the Shepherd’s Call of the Wolves set.
2. Legendary – used in legendary outfits.

Below are the best Legendary Gems for this Necromancer build:

1. Blood-Soaked Jade – Increases damage dealt by 8% and movement speed by 10%. The damage bonus directly depends on the hero’s health indicator.
2. Seeping bile – Character attacks have a 4% chance of sending the enemy. They do 25% of base damage and 263 every second for 6 seconds. The poison will spread to all nearby opponents if the current victim dies.
3. Freedom and Dedication – Increases unit summoning time by 8%.
4. Follower Burden – Increases all hero damage dealt by 1% for each summoned unit you control, up to a maximum of 6%.
5. Echoing Shade – Hero attacks have a 15% chance to summon a shadow clone for 8 seconds. This unit copies some of the character’s abilities.
6. Zwenson’s Haunting – When an opponent is destroyed, a dark beast is summoned to attack nearby enemies. The unit deals 50% of base damage and 486 damage to all nearby enemies. Activates once every 6 seconds.

Since the Shepherd’s Call of the Wolves set contains sockets for common gems, the player must collect a certain amount to upgrade the character. They are distributed by color, so we recommend installing them in the following way:

1. Red slot – rubies to increase health.
2. Blue slot – sapphires to increase armor penetration.
3. Yellow slot – topaz for improving resistance to damage.
