Used this build when Necros were released in season 11. Will be using this again in season 15.

[@ronnies.3440]

Man, this build is insane!! I've tried so many so called "speed rathma" but this one takes the cake!! Thanks

[@amoincof]

This has become one of my absolute favorite builds ever. Effective High DPS Rift farming with limited chances of dying, as long as you are efficient. Often leading teams onto the slaughtering fields and annihilating everything in your path at a very fast pace in T13. It's an actual beast of a "farmer", as far as farming goes. The power of 10 fully grown max essence Buffed Singularity Mages onscreen for extended periods of time, through entire Rifts at a time is just awesome. Love the playstyle. Thanks for the build. And by the way, on the behalf of The human race. Sorry. It's just a game and not your fault it got changed. You didn't physically change it. Blizzard did. Don't stop doing what you're doing! ;)

[@GBIGBIGBI]

Great video. It is refreshing to see a necro build not burdened by cooldown. I will definitely try this build in S14.

[@johngunawanwiria7859]

Liked the video, almost the same build actually, just didn’t switch the mages to Singularity.. worry might get lack of essence, but with that tons & crowd of death carcass seems nothing to worry about. Thx Man good video, keep it up 🙏

[@malataur]

Absolutely LOVING this setup. Thanks Wolf!!! Apparently we enjoy the same playstyle. I detest button mashing builds! I don't have the Scythe to cube (yet), and I replaced the Traveler's "Eventually I'll get around to doing 100% Damage" set with Hellfire Amulet (Grisly Tribute) and Krysbin's, and have an Avarice Band cubed. This is definitely a blast!!!

[@malataur]

Still loving this setup. Got the Scythe finally. BTW, if you want to speed farm on Torment X while you're looking for the best gear, swap Archer for Singularity on the Skeleton Mages. Costs far less, and on T10 your Command Skeletons rip through Elites just as fast as they rip through trash. I'm farming entire Acts in 12-15 minutes (depends on length of map levels).

[@andrewpayne4466]

I have never used someone else's builds but I tried this and I have the set but missing the rings and amulet still....can't get any luck this season at all but this is a great build and it works well with revive as well, returning to a corpse to re-use. I think your video's and the colour scheme is fantastic....you have it down man.

[@Wolfcryer]

+Andrew Payne thanks Andrew

[@chriswoods1811]

Definitely trying this tonight. Tired of cramped hands from Pestilence set, and I collected all ancient of every piece needed. Got the last piece the other night.

[@widneyburton448]

This is a very powerful yet commonly used build aside frim the slight chsnge you made with goldwrap abd boon of the hoarder (which i love lol)

[@deejudanne460]

yup i use it for speed solo 95's

[@patricksyms8920]

just seen the bs about your bid on the goblin run you didn't do nothing ring duck the haters you always have my support keep up the awesome quality vids your awesome don't ever forget it

[@Wolfcryer]

+Patrick Syms thank you sir!

[@Nangalad]

Thanks mate, so far this build boosted me up more than others! Many thanks! Subbed.

[@ReadyToRek]

I love the build. I'll definitely be using this. Thanks, Wolfcryer!

[@robe.2424]

Thanks for sharing this with us, love your videos man. And love your builds, thanks heaps. I've been trying to find a tougher pet build that does a good amount of damage.

[@RichFootballTips]

Love the video, thank you! Definitely incorporating some of your ideas into my build. Subbed to you, keep up the good work.

[@keeliani8416]

good build for normal t13 rifts - thank you

[@reutercharles7516]

Thx for the build, i bought the necro yesterday. I will try it out.

[@reutercharles7516]

well it tryed it now its insane the dmg compard to wd -.-

[@jameswright4640]

I enjoy your videos! Always good information and good variations that are fun to try out.

[@Gringrouff]

Seems like very fun build! Will try it if I ever get the right gear. :)

[@710crash]

Man this build is sick ! Ty for sharing so much !

[@Wolfcryer]

+J M thanks

[@RandDesu]

Would like to make one correction: You said three seconds for Ring of Nailuj's Evol, however the max is 4 seconds (2-4). Otherwise, Good video! I've used this and also and the LazyStorm by Mugen, and the Simul+LotD builds for speed running. All are pretty good.

[@sanzuriver2959]

You can further increase that damage of your build by adding Tasker and Theo or cube it which boost both your skeleton warriors and your skeletal mage's attack speed by 50%. The endless walk set doesn't really work for this build that well, so swap it with a nice Hellfire Amulet that gives you another passive such as Grisly Tribute or Rigor Mortis. The ring slot go to RoRG so you can have both Requiem and T&T. There are also a few things wrong with the gem choice. Honestly everything opens up a bit more with this build for damage and safety even on HC if you just give up on endless walk, both in terms of damage and safety, this build can do better.

[@00GHeroes]

Great video easy to understand and follow. Thank you.

[@Rude420Boi]

Now I need to find a video on the best way to get all this gear! I have no clue where to start. New player. I’m sure it takes a long time but I do enjoy the game and my only character is a necro.

[@whitewalkergaming11511]

My wife and I personally used this setup (minus Goldwrap) to get our T10 in -2:00 AND T13 in -5:00 (our T13 clear took 2:30) literally a week ago! Also capable of clearing GR65 in approx 3 min.

[@Wolfcryer]

+Jeremy Luhman yea I'm loving it

[@genoc3803]

Great catch on the backwards Julian love ring. Lead technical artist.

[@KhordLizardMage]

Since you're always moving and using Goldwrap / Hoarder for toughness the Endless Walk set isn't doing much for you. I'd recommend equipping Avarice Band, Krysbin's and Julian Love (cubing the worst of the three and using a Hellfire (I'd normally say Kalan but Goldwrap gives you all the toughness in the world).

[@Wolfcryer]

+Daniel Cooper yea I'm going to try out avarice às will (for the conquest at least)

[@hoibierhoi]

Why not replace the endless walk set, you allmost never stand still long enough to get any effect of the dmg boost and you really dont need the defense. Maybe replace it with something like avarice band + hellfire or the neck that gives 5 extra bone armor stacks.

[@malataur]

LOL, that's the swap that I made, too. They really broke the Endless Wait set with that ramp-up/ramp-down nonsense.

[@MrGlennJohnsen]

I basically use the same build except I use Dayntee's Belt and Decrepify (stun rune) instead of the Blood Blink. I also have Tasker and Theo cubed instead of the Essence Chest. I use Unity and Eye of Etlich instead of Travelers Pledge/Compass Rose. (if in a group I use Travelers Pledge/Compass Rose) Currently Farming GR 80s with this setup (Paragon 950) in around 7-8 minutes. Toughness (without unity being counted) goes up to around 250 million and my char dps is just over 2 million. I haven't tried pushing higher GRs yet because my gems are kinda low and I'm still waiting for a bit longer to cube Legendary gems into my gear for more int. I like this build for GRs much more than the Blood Storm build where you just hunt elites, which I find extremely obnoxious to play with. It's very safe and you rarely (if ever) die as long as you don't go too much in front of your Mages, if some projectiles do make it past your wall of Mages then that's why I use Eye of Etlich for 35% projectile reduction. I'm guessing I could push GR 95 or higher but just farming for more Paragons and Gem Levels for now.

[@stonedsimian2871]

Awesome video thanks alot

[@TheEthanEdge]

I already use this build, apart from I don't use boon I use the hp regen gem, the double blood rush and the cool down passive instead of final service. Might switch out to this build though it looks better. Thanks for the build :)

[@Wolfcryer]

+TheEthanEdge o.0 i might switch out final tho now that you mention it. Hmm

[@Azrael_413]

Love it can't wait to try it out, already have most pieces of gear, except the ring.. Is it a random drop or a bounty cache drop? Thanks for the guide. Subscribed.

[@Psilocybear]

Hey congrats on getting a sub button on your Twitch channel!

[@Wolfcryer]

+Vargiblodet thanks!

[@xyungkappax3377]

Hey Wolf, like the vids man keep it up! Is Army of the Dead Skill Viable at any high Tier rift levels? Where do you see it fall off if you do use it?

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

I love this build :) Thank you!

[@Wolfcryer]

+MusiCover thanks

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

have you compared your build to this one ? could you spare some thoughts :) www.icy-veins.com/d3/rathma-skeletal-mages-necromancer-speed-farming-variation

[@user-ep8ns6hg4q]

IMO tasker and theo should be in a armor slot, ive used with and without and these definitely affect pets

[@OvermindVic]

I think that endless walk is an overkill here. You can switch that with hellfire (or any other decent) amulet + avariance ring for some sweet pickup radius.

[@Wolfcryer]

+OvermindVic agreed

[@OvermindVic]

and also, if you are running in groups than drop generator for frailty aura just tested it and works very well

[@odaharry]

The bone armor speed build is way easier n faster to use for farming. U just run around really fast n yr bone armor kills everything.plus u can use it for greater rifts too at higher paragons. If u Really just want to press NO buttons n go faster nothing is easier or faster. This above build just way more effort

[@Ninjabob568]

A suggestion would be tasker. And a aravice band for easy globe pickup. Just a suggestion. Great build

[@knuckleheadgaming9231]

if you run tasker you would need to run royal ring so you wouldnt be able to run avarice band. unless you dropped the endless walk set. which is definitely possible

[@Oldes142]

I agree. I run a version of this build with TnT in cube. No endlless walker set instead I use avarice and Hellfire. Since I use boon and goldwrap I also don't use Bone armor but instead use Fratitily. I only have to keep up with making sure i have 10 mages out and commend skeleton is lit up

[@DiegoSuarez-dg7ex]

Thx love your vids keep it up

[@Wolfcryer]

+Diego Suarez thank you😆

[@mikegerth7343]

I am such a fool. I have been wasting tons of shards and resources trying buy/upgrade into wreaper's wraps. Thanks @wolfcryer for explaining that part...

[@Wolfcryer]

+Mike Gerth damn sorry about that

[@mikegerth7343]

Wolfcryer all good my fault for not researching more =)

[@JackalTv-YT]

Hey wolf, been watching your videos lately and kind of liking it. Maybe because we much have the same age. Same feather flocks together hehe... One question, why dont you have post build on diablofans? Much easier to look at. Peace!

[@Wolfcryer]

+edward uy i want to but i run into time issues (fam, work, and my lacking good time management skills) 😆

[@Wolfcryer]

www.diablofans.com/builds/94051-wolfcryers-t-xiii-speed-rathmas-singularity-build

[@JackalTv-YT]

Wolfcryer wow brother. you really shouldn't have but thanks much. its just much easier to 'copy paste' the build from there hehe.. you're a good example a streamer should. best of luck and more power!

[@Wolfcryer]

+edward uy i had always had do much trouble putting builds up there. I love their site but the damn ads slowed me down insanely. I'm not one for adblock (obvious reasons lol) but i bit the bullet and now i can post them easily on their site.

[@MrToppyDrane]

My t13 build is slightly different granted my rathmas set is fully augmented with 86s, but I swap the scythe of cycle for ingeom and final service for dark reaping(2%essence per kill) also work in the avarice boon of hoarder combo, use whatever ammy is strongest pref hellfire so you don't have to drop final service but mine is just a stat stick atm.

[@MrToppyDrane]

also bone armor would be aura of frailty since I'm not using scythe of cycle

[@Wolfcryer]

+Sloppy Toppy sup sloppy! Yea that variant of the build works very well too.

[@MrToppyDrane]

I'm having a good season up to 4 primals in my rathma set and soloed a 95, how's the season going for you

[@Wolfcryer]

+Sloppy Toppy pretty good... having fun as usual with everything

[@nyghtreign8210]

Question about the Endless Walk set. Do your skeletons (mages included) do the extra damage when you're standing still?

[@deejudanne460]

yes otherwise there would be absolute 0 reason to use the set

[@nyghtreign8210]

Well, yeah, that's why I asked! :-) Seems to be a staple in any set if you're pushing rifts. Thanks for the reply!

[@timbroome9863]

small correction. you have Boon of the Hoarder at rank 82, but the max rank is 50

[@Wolfcryer]

+Tim Broome hmm... my boon is only rank 25... why's it say 82 lol

[@timbroome9863]

Wolfcryer not sure but 6:48 it shows it at lvl 81 lol

[@Wolfcryer]

+Tim Broome hmm lol

[@Mammothtankgrind]

Subbed and favorated , Ill give this a try :)

[@OrokinGhost]

why put a diamond in the helm socket when you don't have any large cool downs? seems like there'd be a better pick for it like emerald, as that'd give you more armor from your goldwrap effect

[@Wolfcryer]

+Vlad Ţepeș i pretty much use the cd for blood rush. As is this build puts my toughness into the trillions. The emerald would be overkill i think.

[@OrokinGhost]

that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up

[@Snow-Dog2112]

Just a general question for anyone to reply to - I see some peeps using Zei's gem instead of Wildebeest's gem or Esoteric. My mages seem to get right on top of their target, so how would Zei's help if they don't stay back which would then let Zei's come into play? Any reply is appreciated.

[@roma97100]

as long as the enemies are far from YOU the damage is increased

[@anthonycarallino7212]

I really need to get that ring for double mages

[@ppunion]

The easiest way to do so is level up a lvl 4 necro and gamble away on rings. The ring can spawn as early as lvl 11 and there are only 3 legendary rings that can be rolled at lvl 4, so it greatly increases your chances to get it. If you are going to cube it then it's stats simply does not matter.

[@bjrnchrstn]

Thanks for the guide. You kinda sound totally uninterested and bored, but i guess that's what you get with this imba build 😉

[@Ythelastnerd]

Trying to finish my Guardian level seasonal journey. Can this build do a T13 rift in under 4 minutes? Could it potentially do a T10 rift in 2 minutes?

[@Wolfcryer]

+Ythelastnerd one of the runs in this video was 3 min 50 seconds.

[@unitedsydney]

Do public games one of those will be a t13 in under 4 mins. The t10 under 2 minutes is the harder one you need good gear for that and a mate or 2 help you unless your a demon hunter.

[@sparklelikeaghost]

I'm a new player and I love your videos. Thanks for posting this build! For GRifts, what items should I swap out for? Since the mobs don't drop gold, I imagine this build would be pretty weak for GRifts.

[@Wolfcryer]

+CrazyCrakaaaaa wreath of lightning and string of ears or witching hour

[@jonpeterson5749]

ok this may be a noob question but whole watching your vid ( wicth i like btw ) you have a rank 81 boon gem they max at 50???? hows this possible.

[@Wolfcryer]

+Jon Peterson weird.... it's not 81. Hmm

[@spraycan81]

have you done the T13 in less than 4 minutes with this build?

[@Wolfcryer]

+spraycan81 yes one of the runs shown was under 4 mins in this video - tho i already had the achievement

[@benaiah1006]

Do you get the bonuses from gold pick up if your pet picks up the gold?

[@wannup]

Benaiah 100 I don't see why not But give it a try

[@benaiah1006]

Connor Kennway Not in a place where I can play. Looking forward to trying it out though

[@michaeloutlaw4223]

yes it does

[@nicwalsh9537]

avarice band is pointless if u have a pet.

[@pawelkapica5363]

I don`t quite understand why speed is in the title!? No in geom, no nemesis, no lost time, that bit of speed you get from boon of the horder isn`t really doing anything. Speed means for me 2 min clear time 3 tops at T13

[@briangoergen4221]

If you don't have a faster Necro build to mention for t13 rifting then stfu. lol

[@mariosblago94]

it's faster when you use the Blood Rush boots in the cube. Using skeleton archers, also allows you to wear nemesis bracers. From experience, that's the fastest you can do as a Rhatma necro. 2-3 min rifts. I personally soloed the "all bosses under 20 mins" conquest using that build, but without Nemesis of course.

[@fabrice119]

Chiming in late on this but since he didn't mention a faster one, Pestilence Blight Spear was a well known build at the time this video was made and is way faster. lol

[@stompingpeak2043]

@@fabrice119 this was made for not having to have skills on cool down so you don't get fucked over as much.

[@mushroomgaming799]

Pestilence necro is fatser lol

[@nvilol]

i dont get it the speed builds for necro its bassicily normal rathma build with a forced twist need blood rush couse "speed'"? thats bullshit imo u move aorund faster mby but overall u kill slower so forcing rathma to be speed its pointless, bloodrush is slugggish anyway- has animation lag using normal faceroll build make runs as long as that - only difference u dont teleport around :D rathma necros are not wizards or barbarians or monk who move around do things they are slow :D but insanly powerfull so even if u dont teleport around like crazy u kill everything like madman- so use normal GR build and u will be fine too, forcing using blood rush its not fun in my opinion only faceroll builds make me rush gr 70-80 in 3mins and TXIII its always depends on elite and mobs amounts. empty rift make every possible build slow AF cheers

[@tomnguyen1397]

Like and subscribed 👍

[@poopflavoredlollypop]

.......so swap out aura for one that's acually useful on consume.... learn to numlock and get benefits of a better rune..... your scythe in cube benefits from bone armor but more damage from circle and max essence rune.... you can get faster without losing damage to boon and shit goldwrap belt.....if you need that armor in t13 you need better gear......and for god's sake get ride of the armor on blood rush rune.... you dont need it in t13..... use metabolize for extra charge since you get tons of life back..... may wanna go back to the drawing board and look at the synergies, but for a low gear slow t13 build this does mediocre

[@Wolfcryer]

+bhollinger2lks 2.5 to 4 min T13s.... depending on rift layout. If you're struggling to bit these numbers, obviously change done stuff out to benefit your particular skill level. It is after all a guide, for me it works just fine 😆

what gems do i add? haha
