The Actual STRONGEST Build in Diablo 4 | Shadow Wave Necromancer Build Guide

[@MacroBioBoi]

Thanks for Watching

[@carlosdeandrade7626]

Oh my, I have been walking through the mire with a minion build. I saw your build and quickly changed over, its been SO COOL. I one shot level 80 pit bosses and my glyphs are not even leveled up! LMAO. Thank you

[@TheRealMrGordons]

Now that they've added the armoury we can finally aspire to multiple builds. I'm currently building minions but I'm looking forward to finding the pants and the aspects to get this going. Then I'll be able to switch back to minions whenever.

[@chrishughes7991]

I hecking love the minions right now. Glad I'll be able to go back to them also. They are so balanced with damage, aggro they save, and speed. Perfect for early farm

[@synistargg2502]

Facts!

[@Paragonx89]

just swapped from a full minion build to the blood wave build. I cant picture myself going back to the minions now. killing the pit boss to get into T3 in under half a second is wild.

[@rotony1]

We still have a problem, how we store the items for those many builds?

[@ericwhittington4133]

Does it save your skill and paragon also? That’s what’s a pain to keep redoing

[@beakee]

Oh my lord. I finally got a pair of Kessime's today and immediately switched over from blood surge (who was totally struggling with bossing in T2). The difference even with my shitty non-ancestral gear has left me speechless. The abyssal waves look absolutely badass too. Thanks for 'splaining the build in this vid! 🙏🏼

what build you used to lvl up?

[@andyxprophet]

Great findings, Macro!

[@NeillSmith]

Wait, Blood Wave is even stronger than when you called that it would be "one of the only builds that can run tier 150?" That's insane.

[@MacroBioBoi]

The big difference is in how easy it is to hear and the minimum requirements to get it off the ground. This character is basically running with no gear other than the pants and the two aspects.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Excellent video thank you for this. This build looks great and I plan on trying it out soon. You speak so fast I had difficulty following you, and I missed some of what you were saying until I changed the play speed in the setting to 75% speed and then I could understand and follow you perfectly.

[@ChiliDogg-playa]

Back after skipping the last couple seasons and so far this necro build is quite enjoyable for a casual player like myself.

Hell yea. Thanks for the build!

[@JerBuster77]

With hota barb currently nerfed due to its new chest piece being bugged, I've switched over to necro. Think I might stick with necro after seeing this build now.

[@Pink_Panther]

Currently Paragon 90, doing 800 million hits with my own variation of this build. Very nice

[@djhamajama6981]

Build is insane. I was stuck on torment 2 working slow and changed to this build went from pit 48 to pit 80 no masterworking and most gear is barely matched maxed. It takes a bit to get the control down but once you do is ridiculous

[@EldenLion]

Nice build , but i will try other builds , last season i did a blood wave so i will try that bone spear with the new unique

[@Anedime]

I swapped corpse tendril for sever. Mind you I'm not a buildcrafter I have no idea if that's good or not, it's just I noticed I was absolutely never using corpse tendril so I figured I might as well switch it to passively get 8% more damage and movement speed with another darkness skill on my bar. To be fair it's not like I'm pushing pit so there's no reason for me to be optimal. I already cleared the season and I'm just messing around upgrading runes and stuff until I get bored and quit until the next season.

[@dingo4260]

Hey buddy, would you explain shortly why the guide prefers Lucky hit chance on weapon, when the skill is almost free to cast 😊

[@Zombgetsu]

Lvling as sever atm. Started playing soon as I seen Witch Doctor in s7 ❤

I love leveling on sever.

[@gprimeca]

It is strong. Long live the necro!

[@shwim8992]

I have a question about the stats and the maxroll guide, the pit push guide recommends a three passive neck instead of one with int. Why is this if we int stack on all of our other gear? Would the int or the triple passives provide more for the build? Thanks!

[@MacroBioBoi]

Not until you hit 4500+ total int.

[@shwim8992]

@@MacroBioBoi wow thank you so much for the reply, been rattling my brain all morning trying to figure out which one is better lol, I'll keep the triple passive around then

[@TruMurdaMuzik]

Great video but I have one question, sorry I'm new so I was wondering if I can make this build with different legendary pieces or does it have to be the exact one you have?

[@12deathguard]

The unique pants and an item with the "fast blood" enchant are required. The others are more supportive but are likely the best choices.

[@MacroBioBoi]

You need fast blood, tidal, ultimate shadow and the pants

[@XGenesis84]

Finally Blood Wave get its chance to shine! As poopy as it looks I still think it's cool. Damage is pretty insane too. I just hope it they don't nerf it.

[@MacroBioBoi]

@@Erix2k yes

[@rickfowler273]

They better not nerf. Unless it’s causing server issues.

[@HeHeHe652]

They will. You know they will. The only season they didn’t do nerfs was last season and it’s because players literally said they would stop playing en masse if they nerfed spiritborn. Last season basically died within a month and a half because people got bored with the game because spiritborn was so overpowered there was no point in playing anything else. Now this season it will be necro and with experience basically coming in so rapidly most people will have a level 100 within the first three weeks and most people will plateau their builds within three more weeks. After that and the game will be dead minus the mid season renewal events and most people won’t play it because they won’t really care they will either just buy stuff from the cash shop or they don’t care about free items. Or they will nerf it. I’m guessing they are going to nerf it.

[@tompenn6706]

The build planners show different skills than the video, i am wondering why?

[@MacroBioBoi]

I explain in the skill section

[@exodusmtg44]

Does the lucky hit to make Vulnerable have to be 100% or could it be 60%? Thx

[@MacroBioBoi]

The higher the better, but as I always say: the best piece of gear that you have... Is the best piece of gear that you have. It doesn't matter that there's technically better.

[@irishhawk1]

How does this build Fortify?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Blood skills and drain vitality

[@Erix2k]

to level i play blood surge, can i play this build at level 60?

[@scottbowlden2476]

I don't understand why we put rune words into a 2h and int gems in armor. Wouldn't emerald in weapon and runes in armor make more sense?

[@MacroBioBoi]

Additive damage is irrelevant on an overpower build

[@scottbowlden2476]

@MacroBioBoi what am I missing here MBB? Emeralds add Crit damage and Rubys add Overpower damage. The choice of where to put runeword is Main Stat vs Crit Dmg

[@MacroBioBoi]

@@scottbowlden2476 correct. Main stat is a stronger multiplier of your damage than additive damage is.

[@n1ghtofthedead411]

Why do you want attack speed in this build?

[@viktor3257]

Save items with AS then try how it affects the skills.

[@Orthus100]

Attack speed decreases the amount of frames skills take to cast so everything is snappier.

[@CarloDimacali]

I finally got the unique pants, followed the T1 starter guide on maxroll, but I still have to wait several seconds for the bloodwave to finish cooldown. So I mostly use blight while waiting, what am i doing wrong?

[@SC2Barbarian]

Get the bloodfast aspect or whatever its called where you collect blood orbs to reduce cooldowns. After casting there should be a lot of blood orbs. Just cast and rund around in the wave to get all orbs.

[@gregvfx1]

@MacroBioBoi Not liking how the Paragon "progression" slider seems to function now this season. Before it used start at first board, and gradually fill in incrementally in that board, then the next, until it it got to full paragon level. NOW, the 2 builds I just checked, already start with around 200 paragon pts before the sliders start to change the board. Before it showed you a bare bones setup, ie: each board not complete but functioning in order to be able to set up all the boards and get their benefits.

[@MacroBioBoi]

That level of work was hours for something that's effectively the same outcome. Look at first board and start from there.

[@icrygleich4841]

mr minion , on the maxroll minion leveling guide, why would i take golem mastery when im supposed to sacrifice the fatty?

does anyone have a detailed guide for this build starting from lvl 1 to 50? Im having trouble knowing what skills I should be going for at each skill point.

it will be very hard to level from lvl 1, to play this build you need at the very minimum, Fast blood + Tidal aspec. what i can suggest you is play minion necro untill you at least those aspects but if you can wait a little longer until you get the unique pants Kessime's Legacy it will feel better, if you don't like minions you can go to maxroll and check any leveling neco builds

You don't play this at level one. You play one of our other leveling guides and then swap to it once you have the aspects and the pants.

@ yea I know it’s not THAT strong, but in pits it clearly 10-15 more lvls than anything else. Just saying that balancing in D4 is terrible

[@viktor3257]

@@ravp123 It's a blizzard thing. Diablo 1, warrior dominated. Diablo 2, Sorc and Amazon were unrivalled. Hammerdin failed if the area wasn't open. Later when they introduced uber tristram only the smiter paladin was able to deal with the ubers. Sure other classes also could defeat them but they were just extremely slow. The smiter speed farm lasted nearly 2 decades. After 19 years the assassin beat the record with new runewords. Diablo 3, There was always a class that was 10-15 tier higher, but at least the endgame was better. You could play solo or awesome multi when there were metas like : 1 dps for trash, 1 dps for boss and 2 supports but it came way too late. D4 , Solo is screwed up since it's open world and there is no metas for teamplay. Once you hit pit 100 and para 300 there is nothing that keep u in the game. Glyps limited to lvl 100 so only the leader board left which is the same fishing like in D3 but with much worse maps. There was never proper class ballance in this series and I doubt it ever happens. In last season I cleared p150 in 117 sec then I got Bramble.. I let my char to die then tp and quit.
