Diablo 4 Necromancer Overview: Everything You Need to Know For Launch!

[@jthrock2491]

A point of note: Blizzard already re-buffed skeletons towards the end of the server slam and spoke openly about how continuing to balance classes and skills is a priority for them.

[@WinterMadness]

But as it stands, the minions will still be useless in the endgame, and the class still has zero mobility. Before they fix these two things, Necro will just be a gimped Sorc.

@@WinterMadness At least we can sacrifice the minions for decent boosts. through the shift+C menu

The very first time I saw a teaser with a Necromancer swinging a scythe tearing enemies apart, I was sold. Melee Necromancer it shall be! 😀

[@cduhb8444]

my thoughts exactly lol

Absolute 100% the best necro guide ive seen yet hands down. And i have watched alot of videos and every single one is someone telling me why their build is the best. This man just finally told me what i needed to know and then some. Tip of the hat, a sub, and like for sure. Thank you kind hero not all of them wear capes. Now im off to play the game. Ty seriously

[@derkavondangerkill7628]

Right?! Exactly what I was looking for!! I've already played a necro but you can only try so many spells so fast and I want to know what it 'feels like' to use certain combos or metas. Vulkan provided all the information we wanted w/o a spin or like you said an opinion based build, which is also great if you're looking for THAT, but if you're looking for a GENERAL necro guide THIS is 100% the correct video to watch before you begin your journey and begin experimenting and customizing for yourself. Love it.

Bone prison a mob -> Blight the area ->Shoot blood spears into as many as you can while the prison is up -> Decrepify to slow them until Bone Prison is up again. Sounds like a fun and engaging play style. i just wonder if builds that dont dive deep into one element will suffer in the end game.

[@OneHundredZombies]

Our group now consists of planning to play every class (two different Druid specs). Says a lot about the possibilities of this game.

[@FervorGaming]

People are sleeping on shadow necro

[@Dhern094]

Shadow necro will honestly wipe especially end game. They are not in your face like bone and blood but they have the potential to do lot of DOT. Like a lot!!!!!

[@VSRDWN]

This guy gets it. Grim reaper build inc.

[@MichaelM2K23]

100%

[@Dhern094]

Blood is very good before endgame and then it falls off hard. Shadow stays consistent pretty much throughout! Is awesome!!!

[@FervorGaming]

@Dhern094 I haven't tried shadow yet sadly but excited to give it a good in season 1

[@thoddiver]

I am really hoping it has a stronger focus on the minions.

[@derkavondangerkill7628]

I agree, but depending on corpses to keep an army alive while you're fighting a single boss can be super tough if he wipes out your undead and you have to farm and raise more corpses. If I'm wrong and there's a great way to pull minions off with even great single-target solo boss 1v1 fights w/o a group of minions to wipe and raise minions from as the fight progresses. \ I want single target dmg

[@Wargasm509]

I think I’m going to do a bone build & sacrifice everything except golem to tank

[@Elecjester]

Agreed. This is the way =)

[@johne1743]

ive played the full game, this is the only viable end game build lol. You have zero other options for build. Other minions just die from 1 or 2 hits. Should have been called Bone Mage rather than Necro

[@Wargasm509]

@@johne1743 perfect good to know was planning this since the beginning so sweet. And yeah unfortunately. I built a little build calc thing so I’ll use that

[@FabricateFrog]

was thinking similar. I hate how summons look for necro aside from golem tbh.

[@viqwe1237]

How do you access the customize servant menu

[@supersymm3try]

What did you mean you can sacrifice your ability to summon mages but keep your ability to summon skeletal warriors? Like can you choose the option that barrs summoning 1 type for a boost, but still summon another type like normal?

[@RatGod01]

Yes

[@bigpapalee336]

Thank you.

[@MillHimself12]

Nice video

[@FabricateFrog]

I dont wanna be a minion master bc the summons in this game are ugly and distracting (excluding golems bc they dont glow annoyingly). i'll be running a supercharged one man army necro build either bone based or blood.

[@bjacobs4347]

i want to play necro but won't be bc i don't think skeletons are viable at the end game

[@dtejada1988]

😎👍🏼

[@Flagyouraccount]

D3 necro is crazy quick. Not sure why they nerfed it so hard. The onlyment skill actually slows them down lol. Until they give necros more options I’ll pass

[@hellfrass666]

With 0 mobility this will end with low farm per hour then the rest of classes . Just bad design.

[@trolishtrololol2111]

i just want to play with one hand while using the other hand to pick nose ears massage my foot ,take a sip of my drinks etc. but blz ruined it. F them

[@jimqjordun6431]

you can do that on any class, just get a mouse with decent number of buttons.

[@davidpowers9178]

​@@jimqjordun6431I think he means like in d2. Necro can just power through everything in the game with minions.

[@dennisreese9974]

slow, hate it. Sorry not for me.
