Most Broken Necro Build in the History of Diablo 4 - Season 7 Blood Wave Necro

[@LucemFerre82]

I cant express how much i love bricking near perfect items by getting the same craft rolls 10 times in a row...

[@sSOLDIERrr]

Ikr! Then you gotta decide if you're gonna throw the whole thing away or use it because the other rolls were good.

[@____GoMeZ____]

great to see a blood build finally shining after all this time

[@P4wnyhof]

Surge has been great all the time - this is another lvl thou :D

[@kiluakun]

Amazing video, i swap from your minions build to this (i checked i had all the things i needed) and boom, started to have even more gun! One thing about the blood wave in corridors: The blood orbs spawn throughout the are on which the blood wave animation happens, meaning, less area of effect, less orbs spawned. Second: The blood wave spawns emulating the behavior/arms movement of your character, which means that in which direction he is looking at, the wave will appear closing in in the same way his arms are closing in, which is perpendicular to the direction in which your character is looking at. so you can bypass the corridor issue just by sticking your back to a wall, casting the bloodwave and getting all the orbs since the area of effect will be the whole thing across the corridor and not just the width of the corridor if your character was looking towards it instead of one of its walls

[@kryogengaming3772]

I would personally swap the neck affix to increase you sacrifice bonuses by 75%[x]. Given that sacrificing all your minions give crit strike bonus, shadow damage bonus and overpower bonus multipliers. So by having one legendary affix, you over doubling all three damage bonuses that directly increase blood wave damage. Thats just my personal take :)

[@P4wnyhof]

Can 100% do that (Only if you have it max rolled i would say)

[@GA-uv4hy]

DIablo 4 uninstalled after 20 year od D4 fan. I'm Sorc fan (frost, or electricity, I hate fire). So.... thanks this 20 year Blizzard. I never will install PoE 2 just for the hype. But this nerf destroyed my love. I purchased PoE 2 right now. BYE.

[@burayan85]

I was wondering why my minions carried me into t4 and then suddenly fell off a cliff. Apparently ring of Mendeln is bugged :(

[@Arkayjiya]

Critical strike damage has been additive for months if not a year (beside the initial 50% bonus which is multiplicative, same with vulnerable dmg, the 20% base dmg buff is multiplicative, any further %vulnerable dmg that you get on gear or Paragon is additive). So 1% crit dmg will give you exactly the same dmg as 1% overpower damage as both are additive. Which means 2H maces are optimal as they give massively more %dmg than anything else as long as you're guaranteed to overpower.

[@izaruburs9389]

It's important to note that some aspects/gylphs/passives/key-passives or skills turn some modifiers into multipliers of sorts. In this case crit and overpower damage are equal (and overpower is much more reliable until you reach the 100% crit chance benchmark). (just wanted to add abit more context to your 100% correct comment).

[@Arkayjiya]

@@izaruburs9389 Yes of course, some legendary paragon nodes, key passives as well as ultimate scaling use some stats multiplicatively. In the case of this build, those stats who are the most important to focus on are "dmg while healthy" and "dmg while fortified" those are the ones that turn multiplicative.

[@izaruburs9389]

@@Arkayjiya I just wanted to add that since you didn't clarify 'for this build' in the original post and some players might sail with it without noticing that it's not universaly true (essentially an asterics)

[@catiecotton]

I just want to say this is the most damage I have ever done in diablo 4 (besides Spiritborn last season). This build is an absolute blast to play. The hardest thing about it is remembering to pick up your blood orbs. I am playing it with non ancestral Kessime and it's amazing. I am playing sacrificial on the amulet with a 75% increased bonus (not yet maxed). so far T85 in the pit to level those glyphs to at least 45 and get to Paragon 200. (only 25 to go)

[@saablicjohn7947]

Blood wave is crazy OP. Today I did pit 100, superfast smooth run, do not even have 5 items touched by MW yet, do not have a single item 12/12 MW, my glyphs are 63 lvl now. I do have all witch powers at max rank + have all gems (2 legendary + 1 blue one). Following a little different build than this, but still this looks awesome. Crafted Shroud chest and Perdition helm and will try to push to pit 150. This season is really chill and funny, I needed a small break from PoE 2 and this new D4 season is perfect for it.

[@ryyedawg8179]

So i'm good to make this build tonight? It hasn't been nerf'd or anything?

[@P4wnyhof]

Not nerfed still slaps :)

[@saablicjohn7947]

@@ryyedawg8179 Blizzard mentioned they will not nerf any build during the season (unless it cause performance issues), furthermore, this build is just insanely OP, but not with some bugged features as SB last season (mainly aspects). I am using version without Tendrils and it also rocks, in fact, you are just spamming BW :D

[@nickwhite5190]

Could I use Tyreals Might instead of the chest in the video? seems like that would solve armor and resistances issues.

[@LcGIFrZe]

Should i use a uber chest or a normal legi chest ? Because i dont have my resi and armour cap and i struggle a bit

[@P4wnyhof]

You can totally use tyraels if youj can't get resis to work (you can also use rakanoth wake or yens blessing!)

To avoid this always cast blood wave with your back against a wall as the blood wave comes in the direction your arms come together and that’s how the orbs will spawn.

Is there a new blood surge build that is overpowered or can I put blood surge a d not go with blight I just really like blood surge

Blight is really only used for the damage and speed buff from your passives that scale based on how many darkness skills you have on your bar. But if you don’t care for the extra damage and movement speed put whatever you want

[@ajvolkert1]

Sir, it would be great if your build match what was said in the video. Meaning you have a mythic helm but you don't in the video. You usually have notes that would have ALT gear witch make your build guide easy to follow and makes the game more enjoyable.

He’s only using 6 but you need the aspect that auto casts decrepify and then you don’t need it on your bar as long as you have it unlocked.

HECK JEAH!!!

[@Sternreign]

First my question. My 2H Mace has GA damage, int and HP. Is this okay or should I reroll damage for overpower? (Im inclined to wait for a better mace) On WT3. Once I got here my minions could do Zir, but it wasn't automatic. Did him 3 times for a workable pants. Im about Paragon 130. I spent about an hour leveling the relevant glyphs to 15. I'd like some of the runes. So today, i guess its undercity for them. This is a very fun build. That said, Bone Spear season 1. My pants aren't great, but even if you get the lowest rolls for that, you can still dominate.

[@DonBukka]

I've been trying to go over everything and I cannot figure out how his Corpse Tendrils cooldown is just resetting immediately

[@rob3497]

The auto cast on decrepify aura lowers your cooldowns for every new enemy hexed. So it resets fast depending on the mob density and how many enemies you have hexed.

[@callmekham8458]

My wave build has Blood cuirass for extra damage from blood orbs, and Rakanoth's Wake for resist all, more damage, move speed and cool down. I chose not to use corpse tendril so I can put another darkness skill on the bar to benefit from reaper's pursuit since blood wave pulls in enemies anyway. Choose the golem with HP because it helps survival and adds base overpower damage for your multipliers.
