Awesome build. Appreciate that you actually take your time with these and don’t just flush out random builds non stop/keep your builds up to date on the site. Appreciate you boss
Saw this, leveled a necro. Kept all my good gear for when it was ready together....went from not being able to complete a 65NM dungeon, one day later after using this build/gear 75+ Pit is cleared with ease. Thanks dude!
Thank you very much this build is so far the best i have tried on my necro, cleared pit 100. Problem with other builds is they are too squishy and i think the inner calm for pit is pretty nice boost to the damage as well.
thanks it was nice to have a view of the build will definitely be gearing towards that
Thank You Nick for explaining everything in detail, I love your build guides !! Almost gave up on leveling my sorc but found your fire lvl guide, which was incredible. And, yes I am one of those seniors lol who are quite overwhelmed with pressing so many buttons, thanks again for giving me the alternative, besides that I really love the sacrileges ring. Big Thanks :)
Nick ultimate shadow makes bonestorm a darkness skill and it will proc those passives including gloom which is great for more dps.
Great video @NickTew 👍
I'm really joining this build. Thanks for sharing!
Very in-depth great work on these, continue making these videos
Great video. As always, very detailed. Much appreciated!
Love your build with my modification. I subbed Tendrils for Blighted Corpse Explosion. I find that the higher lucky hit chance and spread of the Blight leads to more cooldown ticks. I was killing things so fast that my Bonestorm was having 20 secs left on CD with reduced CD of 39.07. With Blight Corpse Explosion, I'm seeing much better results on the CD dropping faster. Worth a test if you're inclined.
This build has been phenomenal for me! I was using a pre-season 1 Bone Spear build, stepped away from the game for S2 and S3. Friends told me that S4 was much more fun to play, but my character was just unplayable at higher levels now. Your build was super easy to mimic, did not rely on crazy gear and is fun to play. It was a little weird learning to play without any way to deal direct damage on my own, but worth it. Thanks!!
Nice build. I'm using Aspect of Plunging Darkness on weapon and using Bone Prison + Blight combo for more shadow sources, damage (20%[x] from blight passive), vulnerable and cdr (from bone prison)
BEST d4 necro build video I ve seen, fast clear and concise. Well done
Well thought out my friend. Your content is excellent, I am proudly walking through pits now instead of dying immediately!
Thanks for the build bro!! Keep'em coming!!
Thank you a lot for this build! Finally its fun to play rather to stay and count stacks to press 1 button. Love it!
Legit build man. Seriously. Was looking for this exactly! I am currently running a 2h Sythe as I got a real good one, and works incredible also. Really really good work on this one. DONT SLEEP ON THIS BUILD.
With a little change from your build, I'm currently using Army of the dead, a little paragon respec, and etc. But most of all, it based on your build. I just changed it to be more suitable to my dropped gear and my play style. I can easily clear pit 120 now. Keep up your good work man. SUBBED!!
Thanks Nick Tew - nice job. I will use this one to go a bit higher.
I was using maxrolls basic minion build, decided I wanted to make a change and LUCKED into this video! Farmed the gear and went straight into the pit to start leveling it and so far I've gotten to tier 91 and only one piece is at rank 12 all others are between 4-8. SO happy with this build and so glad that I made the switch, thank you!
Only two pieces of my gear have a GA affix on them as well. Can't wait to find better rolls and more GA's to really see what this build can do.
@@NickTew it does seem that way, it's just the random one shot mechs from the boss that gets me from time to time
This looks awesome Nick. I actually quit playing my summoner and started a double swing tornado barb because I felt like I had no survivability just standing around trying to dodge the while the golem was being dumb. I like the inclusion of blood mist and it ties things together well.
Twister barb has been a blast but I think it’s time I gave my necro a shot again with your build
Same here. Already thinking of respecing into bash build as dust devils falls off quickly.
I did a pit 105 no holy bolts wih the mages build. will try this out next, seams the dmg potential is much higher. thanks Nick. keep it up
Very well explained, going to try this build.
Dude, thank you much for the tip about the extra cdr by using the Skeletal Warriors shadow damage aspect!! I was wondering so much why it doesnt work for me with the 100% uptime
Which build of the three on the mobalitics is the best overall for dungeons/pit/ and bosses?
I only use one build a season
Love your content Nick!
Thanks for making the build and vid nick! I like the look of it alot. So you ideally on Gloves you want: Attack Spd, Int, CritChance (no +Skel Mastery) and Tempers of Golem damage and CC Duration?
On console the golem goes and attacks in the direction you are facing, same as with any targeted ability in general. Works fine most of them time, but if you flick away to move out of something then hit attack you can sometimes waste one.
Thank you for the guide Nick!
How high in the pit can one expect to go with the grandpa version?Im about the use a scroll of amnesia on my maxroll build, made it to high 40’s pit before it started to fall off.Thanks again for the great builds
You’re the man! Exactly what I asked for
Great guide!
Well Done ! Really a freat build wich is playable without dying to much in Pit. Many other Build are way to squishy to play comfortable. Sorry for beeing bad in english. I like your Vids , stay safe mate. Cheers. Subbed btw!
nice guide sr! i can add shaco and tyrael on this build? if i can what aspects i can drop?
Thanks for the guide Nick. I never feel like you're phoning it in solely for clicks when it comes to some other guides.
Great video , keep it up.
Thx bro it work
hate seeing all those NEW BEST BUILD videos and when you click its another elixr build. Thanks for this
Nick - How do you get active control of the Golem? I didn't know there was a button or skill for that. Thanks
been running shadow minions from maxroll... gonna switch to this, sounds amazing and just what i want :) hope it still works after the update
What do you think about hulking aspect ?
nice build Nick always love your builds and doesn’t look like gear is impossible to get which is important to us mortals
Good explanation bro!
NickTew why is the armour stats and glyphs different in the video to the Mobalytics link? Which should I be following please?
Nick - you have skeletal mages dmg on the mobalytics, is this leftovers from other builds perhaps? I was expecting movement or golem dmg.
Hey Nick could the explosive mist aspect work well with this build?
You could drop inner calm and keep occult dominion if you run harlequin crest. You have to rearrange enchants to different pieces but it is possible.
My goodness, thank you for not basing the build on holy bolts. Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Nick thank you for the build guide!! As always it is EXCELLENT and very informative. I will be using this as I guide for my end game Necro. I have a question though, if you could pick an Uber piece of gear for the build which one would it be? Thanks again and please keep up the GREAT WORK. Also not sure if you team up with any of your subs but I’d really like to run some with you if you do! Let me know and how to link up and I’ll gladly do so, you won’t be disappointed with my gameplay, I’ve been gaming my entire life and I’m pushing 50 years old 😉👍🏻
Awesome.
Finally a smart young man, who just explains a cool build that makes a lot of sense.
No rank 1 superdupaexploit everything shenaningans, but a cool approach on the game.
So refreshing, thank you very much! Subbed
I love your builds and videos~ can you do a non minion bone spear or blood lance build this season? I know they aren't the top tiers right now due to how strong minions are.
instead of the tendrils aspect, i strongly suggest you try out the blood one making blood mist leave desecrated trail ground, with the dmg scaling and the low cd, it absolutely melts everything on its way. I was pushing tier 84 and struggled on a boss, changed it and melted any other boss encounter within 5 seconds up to 90 so far.
Hi Nick, you only need 2 points on the Basic-skill part of the tree to unlock Core-skills so you have 1 extra to drop somewhere else. Will be trying your build, thanks for the new ideas.
You need a combine of 6 from basic and core....he just slap a random point into basic...most people go for the 3 essence passive but honestly makes no difference
My favorite part of your videos is that your voice doesn't sound like you've been snorting Rockstar non-stop during a 50 hour gaming binge.
So I want to use shako. Would the extra mages/skele aspect be the one I drop?
You can also use Temerity which gives you army of the dead. But it's trickier. Anything that charges you you'll have to dodge. More damage though.
Love your videos. You’re super easy to follow and understand. Question: What do you think of the Uber Rings for the Necro. I just picked up Sacrilegious and it looks like a keeper. Thought?
Damn I really liked the idea of no golem/mage only build before - but it was definitely button mashing to beat pit bosses for me at least and so lacking with Ubers - not sure I can switch back to golem now though 😅
Hey Nick, can I use Harlequin Crest with this build without changing any skills points and redoing paragon board. I love the build that you created, but just curious if it can benefit from an Uber unique.
Thanks
what do u think about adding the sacrilegious ring
?
Improved paragon board points to gain +25% damage to wounded enemies and replaced the Exploit glyph on the upper right board with a control glyph.
Think i need to adjust my paragon, yours looks so much better.
First, nice guide! Second, is Harlequin worth in this build? I mean, can I swap for hardened bones and use occult dominion?
Thanks for the vid! Can Shako fit in here?
Hello have you ever try doing thorn minion build , i would you test if it's good or not ...
Hi can we put a harlequin crest in this build, and how is this build in contrast to the normal shadow minnion build or standard build that everyone plays. Stronger or weaker? Could you also use it to kill Tormented bosses?
Hi Nick csn we use any uber uniques with this? Besides Harl?
Km running this in nm dungeon 75 right now, works like a charm
I dont use HB
Harlequin Crest dropped for me last night, is it worth using this instead of the Shielding Aspect?
Thoughts on replacing the Scourge glyph one for one with Corporeal? It's effectively the same 10% multiplier for golem damage (but not mages or warriors in this build) as well as some additive damage and armor from the bonus to magic nodes. But the real reason I like it is the 12% movement speed which is really nice because as a necro we're kinda slow to move around and really dependent on movement speed to clear quickly. Maybe just as a farming tech?
Yes that's an option I was actually going to do I just didnt have it leveled - thanks for the reminder
Hi. I love this build. Im try almost all necro build and this is the best imo. But i have a question. Is not bether to use conceited aspect than inner calm ? If we perma bone storm we perma on barier and we lose %5 dmg from inner calm but we got perm 25 % dmg increase? Or i mistake on somthing ?
great video! it would be great if i can play!!! still getting that "Queued for game" issue...
how would you incorporate an uber unique in this build if at all? i was thinking getting rid of hardened bones for shako?
What would you cap your crit damage at for this build? Both of my rings proc'ed crit chance and max life and i just so happened to roll almost perfect crit damage.
Is there a decent end game blood/minion build? I am loving versions of this build but hubby is liking the blood version
why is the aspect of decay not being used in the focus? seems to be a smart choice to add additional shadowblight damage instead of inner calm.
this one is looks amazing! I am using the blight one one but I will change it last one time because it's too expensive to set a new build... first time I need money in Diablo and it feels weird :D
complete the iron wolf rep to max rank and the season journey and you get like 8 scrolls for free skill tree and paragon reset, they are awesome. just 4 so far lol
FYI, Grasping veins aspect does not affect minion crits as of now. Tested.
I am not very good at theory crafting but with the attack speed of bone storm, wouldnt it be easy to proc stagger on the boss? How could we apply that?
I'm having fun with this build, but I have questions:
1. if i get the Harlequin, what do i have to change to keep the build as perfect as possible?
2. does it help to have ‘direct damage’ on an item, or does that only affect me and not my minions?
greetings from Germany :)
Bone prison instead of blood mist with bone prison aspect where it spawns pool if blight - massive damage increase with points in blight
Damage isn’t really the issue with this build, blood mist is more of a get out of jail free card. The bossing variant can still one shot Ubers while still utilizing blood mist
Nice build and video! Do you think this is better than the on on Maxroll? Im using the regular minion build rn with AOTD and I feel squishy and kinda capped with my dmg sometimes
Army of the Dead and bone storm are kinda interchangeable. Army gives more damage, bone storm gives more survivability. It's easy to swap between the two if you prefer. I haven't looked at the maxroll one so I'm unsure what else they are using, but most people pushing pit 115+ are using a setup extremely similar to mine if not the same. Some use mages instead of golem but it's the exact same principle
@@NickTew Its very similar but theyre using skeletal Mage buffs. I will try your build, as it looks very comfortable! But maybe im Just a big noob :D
what lv gear u start to upgrade masterwork?
Grasping veins? You have cap crit chance so the + (x) crit damage boost is nutty, plus you could give up a couple critical chance rolls since it gives 25% crit chance when you cast tendrils. People were under the impression it didn’t work for minions. It’s been retested as of two days ago and now works wonderfully. It ends up adding like 35ish% total damage (and would free up a couple crit chance rolls)
@@NickTew however the crit chance still works for minions so could be worth it to use instead of inner calm so you can spec into crit dmg/int/max life affixes instead of crit chance
I prefer Army on Amulette and blight on a 2h. Way bigger hits. And with explosion on mist cooldown is also better.
the board in paragon is different in the video and planner. either way will be okay? thanks
Would you suggest adding/replacing with any uber uniques if lucky enough to get some? like grandfather or harlequin?
Can add in harlequin but you sacrifice some damage for survivability, which is more of a preference thing.
Average player here. I wasn't getting cooldown affixes on any drops / rerolls, so I couldn't utilize the build as seen. Cooldown on bone shield was constantly up. Cooldown on golem was 25% as good as seen here, so I didn't have the offense / defense needed. Dropped: Inner Calm, Shielding Storm, Ultimate Shadow, ring, pants, and 3 points in bone storm. Added Temerity, Sacrilegious ring, 3 points to blighted corpse explosion, Explosive Mist, and Undying. No more skills with long cooldowns. Run into pack, decrep, golem, blood mist, sac ring casts tendrils, buffs / heals me and minions, and casts blighted CE as is blood mist. Casting heals and adds barrier. Decrep again, manually cast tendrils, golem, CE. Pack is dead and all cooldowns have cleared to rinse and repeat. Similar on bosses. 11k armor 28k HP. Only to Pit 59 and hope to get the gear you have, but for now, this works great.
Im Level 80 currently using this build and I can’t really get decent cooldown reduction on bonestorm, will having more attack speed help with this
Can you use the Black River for this build?
Curious why you didn’t put the aspect of grasping veins in that last slot for the 50%x crit damage?
Also did you consider going down the blighted bone prison path? Extra source of vulnerable and shadow damage dots plus a 20% damage boost. Would need to give up blood mist though!
@@Kevincole87 it only applies to damage dealt by your skills, and I don’t think that includes your golem’s active damage. Not sure about whether it would boost army of the dead though
Looks so great with Bonestorm instead od Army of the Dead I am playing now, from someone else. Time to change build!
Does your bone storm not proc the crippling darkness when using that aspect that turns it dark? Or do they have to be darkness without aspects for it to work?
What about conceited instead of innercalm for a damage imprint? Seems like we will ahve shields quite a bit with bonestorm
Was my first thought as well and it's recommended in other minion build variants.
FFS! This build insane! Ths a lot dude!
pls someone explain to me; why we continously creating golem? what kind of mechanic behind works on it?
Hey Nick, does this build beat Uber Lilith? :)
Like the video if you'd like to see the full bossing version hitting for 1billion+

Bro, you should make a hard-core friendly build. I’m always having to modify your guises builds because no one’s doing that.
@@danielray6060 I'm afraid to play hardcore mode. Last night I got randomly DCed and couldnt log back in. I've heard the horror stories and I'm not sure I could handle all that work and time getting wiped out by a random disconnection. Is this kind of thing still a huge problem for the hardcore community?
@@jasongood5487 bro, the rewards by far out pay the penalties. The bubble is now the new proc. And as far as lagging and disconnecting, it doesn’t kill you anymore at least I’ve lagged out three or four times and haven’t died in the middle of fights.
FYI, your boss killing variation has points into corpse explosion when you're not using it. Maybe I'm just missing something there, but doesn't seem right =)
Please update your guide's notes. In there you mentioned to use " Elixir of Protection 2" which doesn't exist.
