my man

[@michaelmcmahan6102]

I love this build except for Osseus Gale. That really feels clunky. I swapped the Godslayer Crown for a regular helmet and put Explosive Mist there and use flickerstep. The bonestorm cooldown is not an issue with them. I am using X'fals in place of the ring with Osseus Gale. I also swapped Sanguine Brace for Metamorphosis. I am constantly at full fortify anyway and Metamorphosis is great for those times inbetween Bonestorm and Blood Mist. I am absolutely horrible with the paragon board and am using an exact copy of yours. Always appreciate all of the streamers time and energy to help us dayworkers out.

[@Nwinter76]

Cool, can u share your build?

[@liolus]

@@Nwinter76 brother man he legit explained it in the same comment. its this video's build with the tweaks he's mentioning.

[@xmaikelx]

thanks, great vid! I'm new to necro in D4 and this is by far the clearest video on the build i came across. I will use this as my blue print

[@anthonycasteel]

Thank you so much! This build changed everything for me truly. I immediately jumped up dramatically in nightmare dungeons from the current build I was running. Such a good and fun build!

[@Truthseeker-iz3dj]

100%, the maxroll one is decent but you need the ring. I am running this build without the unique helm or weapon and its very tanky and does a lot of damage. Just doing 70s with ease to level glyphs.

[@wetfloor9992]

do you know what paragon boards did he use?

[@gaijinozi7002]

When u start gearing infinimist with the right aspects it’s become insanely fun.

[@GuuuuuuGaaaaaa]

I just respeced into this build and have all three uniques but the gear affixes are mostly 2/4 even 1/4 and not all are upgraded to 5/5, but its still ton of fun and it obliterated Butcher in NM50. So yeah its fun

[@Tizaix]

I dropped Osseous Gale and Reap for Aspect of the Damned and Iron Maiden. It plays super well and it feels very strong. Iron Maiden also provides a huge 7% Max Life heal on kill, which is one of the largest gaps in the build: self-healing outside potions. The only thing I'm trying to decide right now is if I like Aspect of the Damned on Amulet vs Blighted. 75%[x] damage at all times, with 120%[x] for 6 seconds on Blighted Ring as opposed to 50%[x] damage at all times and 180%[x] for 6 seconds. Blighted cannot build stacks while Blighted is active, and I don't think you really need that extra 35%[x] difference (75%[x] + 120%[x] = 195%[x] vs 50%[x] + 180%[x] = 230%[x] when you're fighting large groups, as CE damage scales insanely with density anyway. So then that extra 35%[x] damage from Blighted Amulet + Damned Ring really comes down to active time vs a Boss. And I think the 75%[x] Damned Amulet has more uptime, and thus more damage, than the 180%[x] Blighted Amulet. I would really need to sit down and test it out numbers wise, but I can say Damned Amulet overall feels better. Very fast boss kill time and density is a breeze with this build in the first place. Here's the planner if anyone wants it: maxroll.gg/d4/planner/03rcy0oz#3 Edit: After testing, I think that Flickerstep is 100% mandatory on this. There were 10-15 second periods where you wouldn't have Bone Storm; with Flickerstep you have 100% uptime on Bone Storm, which means another guaranteed source of lots of Lucky Hit procs, infinite toughness via Shielding Storm, and fairly decent damage. Next test would be to sacrifice Blood-soaked to move Damned/Blighted ( still needs testing! ) for X'fals. I think with 100% uptime on Bone Storm and CE damage ticking, you could proc X'Fals an enormous amount of times. It's still really good damage no matter what. Last thing would be to get a Shako for 20/20 CE lol I don't think we're Infinimist anymore, we're infinite Shadow Storm. I find I don't even need to use Blood Mist except as an oh shit option or a way to spawn some corpses. You could easily drop Explosive Mist and Blood-soaked with the Flickerstep set up.

[@eyezwideshut]

Thank you for sharing

[@eyezwideshut]

How is flicker step vs bosses considering it's only one enemy to reduce CD most of the time

[@Trepanation21]

@@eyezwideshut It works out great with Metamorphosis. Your Corpse Explosions (the act of casting, even if there's no corpses) actually cools off your Evade, so you can constantly jump through the boss repeatedly and get the Ult off cooldown before its duration is complete a lot of the time.

[@parox703f3]

I’m glad minions have been buffed enough to be good for the entire base game, but I hope they eventually become good in end game. Undead minions is the necromancer power fantasy

[@ArhMatBenzamene]

with ring of mendeln and the pendant for blood surge. shredded everything until my wifi decided I was playing too much d4 and got me killed haha. On a tier 50 nmd boss to boot, so insulting

[@DuneCrescent]

I tweaked a couple abilities around cause yours made more sense than some builds but I noticed you put sanguine brace on one part of the build than later suggest metamorphosis instead, thought you might wanna tweak that on the build page in case someone makes an accident. Thanks for the great advice dude!

[@z1g]

Glad I watched this a month ago and didn't jump on the X'FAL's bandwagon. I see content creators coming to this exact conclusion now and making videos like it is some new revelation they have come up with. Kudos to you Goblin.

[@martinhavlicek6020]

Thank you so much for this briliant video - finally someone who shows scrit with Xfall isnt everything!

[@bladewraith]

Also, on the Bloodbath board....you may as well take of 3x int nodes and go down three spaces to pick up Remedy. You still get 15 int but also pick up some healing received bonus.

[@kooldog98]

Good tip, in fact you can take off the 6 nodes to the right of the glyph (1willpower 5 Int) and instead get both those 2 rare nodes to the bottom and left (+ 15% dmg fortified, healing) , and still get enough Int for the glyph bonus

[@Trepanation21]

@@kooldog98 Great tip you two, I think I prefer this route.

[@erickhrizman3736]

Just made the switch over! Awesome build! Thank you ! Only thing I did different is run lidless wall for off hand!

[@johnjayala]

How do you like it with Lidless?

[@DavidYT-r5i]

This Build is so crazy, please update for new Glyph..

[@Plesi96]

yo, your paragon board on the website uses 1 node less than it should. its saying 225 but if you count them its just using 224

[@OMGNORWAY]

Couldn't you put Sacrificial down on the first paragon board instead of amplify and then use Darkness where you had Sacrificial for the 60+% damage increase? Surely the damage is better than a flat 10% and some armor? Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks for sharing your build :)

[@GuuuuuuGaaaaaa]

Want to hear more about this as well

[@EctAmon]

I had similar idea seems much better and you lose little defense for massive dmg boost.

[@JesusAlbertoPedroza]

[@YungBuss]

Bro you are good luck. Literally just got Black River while watching you talk about how crazy it is lol

[@venomicstudios]

Any infinimist build sleeping on Flicker Step ain’t my cup of tea, but glad to see there’s actual options out there for viability

[@kevino667]

Notice some differences between video and linked build, like with vampiric powers and some of the paragon choices. Which is most up to date?

[@Fryk1990]

It looks like on page: Last updated on Oct 25, 2023, so I guess it is video? But for sure I also would like to know which one

[@saschab.104]

i would like to know that too. im a little bit confused now

[@Archenemy95]

Black River variants prioritize corpse generation and waiting until corpses are piled up before exploding. It doesn’t gain benefits if only 1 corpse is exploded. Because of this, Osseus Gale and Explosive Mist actually reduce your damage output, especially during single target fights with no density. You do NOT want anything consuming the corpses before you’ve had a chance to pile on 3+. Not to mention lack of corpses also means no tendrils being casted.

[@knowwork9]

They told me i cant use this unique hands with black revier why

[@dasalki]

great build! just did a respec to your build and its hella fun. cheers mate

[@andyman697]

How are you liking the build for the end game content? T100s and Duriel?

[@dasalki]

@@andyman697 Killed around 20 Duriels, this season is a blast, i do not melt bosses yet, but i think it's because i just started lvling up my glyphs and I'm only lvl 85. Everything else other than bosses just melts and tanky as hell. I got an xfal last night, so dropped the ring wich prolongs bone storm to see if i get more dmg out of the build. Did you try testing it with xfals. I did not understand why xfals doesn't go together with black river. Could you maybe explain more. Thx for the build, made the season more fun!

[@rapfiki]

the build on the link doesnt match on video which one do i follow got em uniques so wanna try it out

[@ooanticsoo4475]

I found with this build i was already doing too much damage. So i went with utility. Life on cast actually procs on the auto corpse explosions. And went with a fortify on corpse explosion as well. You always have a barrier lifesteal and fortify.

[@ooanticsoo4475]

and instead of the helm, theres a chest that gives you DR while having a barrier, very good if you want to be even more tanky!

[@jonorsl]

I have also been running soulbrand (the chest) instead of the helm. Extra lucky hit is so good. Not sure why more builds don't suggest it

[@snpagy]

Updates for sacrilegious?

[@libardopp]

Awesome build, thanks for the clear explanation of how it works, just a question, could you update this build with the new ring of the sacrilegious soul? auto corpse explosion can replace Aspect of Explosive Mist?

[@thetherapist53]

RotSS probably isn't a good option for this build, because you want to use BR to its fullest extent with 4 corpses per cast of CE. RotSS constantly uses corpses, so the setup for more damaging CE would be harder to pull off. The same could be said for use of the Osseus Gale aspect.

[@shawnrobinson7066]

Black river where can I find it

[@trashcangoblin420]

Love your build for infimist! Gonna try this !!

[@ushkadush]

Your important Exhumation Glyph isnt activated. You still need more Intelligence to use that important bonus.

[@duckjap]

With Osseous Gale it seems like you might lose a lot of DPS 8 explosions could be a lot of missing damage ranging from 4-15 million. For T100 it helps a lot for survivability but not sure for boss. Could you please elaborate your choice? Thanks in advance

[@Goblin-Inc]

You are right, its a slight damage loss on bosses, and in aoe you have enough corpses that it doesnt matter. You can replace it with something like Aspect of the damned and replace bone storm with iron maiden for bossing.

[@danielglaner5484]

would it make sense to use x'fals in this build?

[@jf-xh7xm]

Amazing video! Two questions: Do you have a reply to microbioboi last video arguing is better not to run black river? Also, if you got doombringer do you think it is worth using it? Thanks!

[@jasonbonadio8870]

Finally, I rolled my CE shadow Necro last night and I'm gonna blast my way to Duriel for Black River. I have an Andi already so it's gonna be nearly unkillable paired with temarity or Tibs for more DMG.

[@ShotKill-uf7qv]

Very cool video ! I’m also testing different versions every dungeon I run a version with black river only, one with br and lidless, lidless by itself I run flicker step, which has crazy synergy with the build since we are already dashing through mobs a lot, so I have bone storm pretty much every fight I do use decay, I don’t have the Uber unique so I can’t speak to that From my testing, br definitely seems to add a lot of damage to the build, the combo with lidless is okay but it’s situational, doesn’t work on bosses because you are next to him so I do switch out at that point Still testing different versions

[@Baked-As-A-Cake]

haha im assembling my gear right now and dont have the helm he uses, but im about to put the aspects from the boots onto a helm, then use flickerstep

Hi, do we have value to add lidless wall with bonestorrm aspect on leg? And also vampiric power are not the same on mobalytic

[@Goblin-Inc]

Lidless wall is good for tankiness but you honestly dont need it. You lose an important offensive aspect slot, lucky hit, and CDR. But if you want to farm 100's without having to think about anything lidless wall is good.

[@eyezwideshut]

No darkness glyph? In what order should you level the glyphs up

[@RubinKlein25]

It always surprises me when guides dont include Blackriver, I got the worst item level 925 roll and its still very good for level 85. I was wondering if you have tried Terror (instead of Anticipation) during boss fights, if you stagger the boss it applies Fear and you're guaranteed to crit. You'll only crit with Shadowblight of course but it might still be worth it.

[@bryanbryan6108]

Not worth it. You’re bad

[@Vin68142]

If helm is an extra slot would you still use godslayer crown if you were lucky enough to have an Andy's helm drop? I plan on changing my lvl100 blood surge build to this build was just curious if I should actually use my Andy's helm now

[@TheHonestTiger]

I personally use a high lucky hit chance build and use Accursed Touch, every enemy is constantly cursed without the need to dive through everything for it to proc.

[@tennisdudechris]

Love the Black River inclusion! Couple thoughts tho: what if we include Aspect of the Damned for 50% more damage to CE? Can use Might instead of Godslayer so we're tanky enough not to need mist anymore to free up the aspect slot for Damned and skill slot for Iron Maiden. The extra 50% damage overall would make up for dropping godslayer just for bosses

[@tylerprime6741]

Smaller damage bonus and instead of being immune to damage you can still take damage...... yeah probably not

[@tennisdudechris]

@@tylerprime6741 Its 50%x more total damage output compared to the tiny ticks of damage mist does. And with high enough defenses you don't take damage so you don't need to be immune. Ive cleared t100 with a few different builds without using Mist so far this season so its definitely doable.

[@tylerprime6741]

@@tennisdudechris godslayer is 60% and it can also them be swapped with shako now that it's got a drop from duriel which would give more points in corpse explosion and also damage reduction Bloodmist isn't used for damage it's used as a tool to be literally invincible and also proc corpse explosion

[@tennisdudechris]

@@tylerprime6741 Godslayer only lasts for 3 seconds and Aspect of Damned is permanent and also better if you don't have all uniques. Like I said, we don't care about the invincibility from Mist because with Bone Storm and enough defenses we're invincible anyway. And you also get faster attack speed = more explosions if you don't use Mist

[@tylerprime6741]

@@tennisdudechris so just get CC'd and die then yeah? Because even after the changes I've still been stuck in chains for 3+ seconds.

[@sonalita_]

I think the planner shows ideal stats - it's hard to get 4 out of 4 stats on D4 gear with all the dozens of possible affixes a peice can drop with! It doesn't really matter where the aspects go - except for weapons and amulet which get a bonus. Edit - the weapon aspect bonus is only for 2h weapons so the only bonus is on the amulet (where you get 50% extra stats from the aspect).

running with same build, but instead of bone storm duration increase aspect its better to go with flickerstep which allows you running with bone storm almost permanently
