Love your reviews on necro builds and your advice! I take a lot of it in and makes playing the necro more fun. Can’t thank you enough for your videos! Looking forward to the future necro videos for the later seasons.
Hey man, thanks for this build, totally new to Diablo 4, I find this perfect build, I want my army to do the task of clearing the mobs, I agree on this, it's not fast for speed farming but its good already for us beginners, thanks for this
You want Occult Dominion on the neck and you wanna use the Skirmirhers they deal 30% more damage and you can get an extra so you basicly have 8 up the damage is insane with mendeln and skelleton warrior attack twice on weapon.
I haven't been 1-shot so much since seasons 1 and 2 with this season's Minion build. With 5k life, maxed resistances and 1.4k armor, on T3 (200 paragon) and Mendeln I'm still biting the dust on a more than regular basis. Combination of mostly ancestrals and 1 or 2 legendaries left, and mostly tempered it's not working for me.
The book of the dead on the build guide doesn’t match what your covering in the video. Which one is the latest and greatest? Also, thanks for sticking with Necro.
I changed up golem to sacrificed bone and running it with varyana and this build is moving ridiculously fast through t4 content. Haven’t gotten grandfather but using doombringer instead for now and having a blast with this build
I have this build set just as u have it and can’t even kill the beast in ice on tier 4. Why does this do noooooo damage I don’t get it what am I missing!?!?
I'm so confused with the leveling version of this build. How do I use a golem if I don't have a skill slot for it? The skill leveling order seems wonky too.
idk if you got an answer or not, but this build doesn't use the golem, in your book select the last option for golem to sacrifice golem. For extra critical damage. That's what I did. Hope this helps @Xeo7
Newbie question - In the leveling section you take Titan's Fall very early, but I can't figure out how to become fortified to take advantage of the ability. The only thing I see later in the tree is Necrotic Carapace which isn't taken until late 40's. Is there another reason to take Titan's Fall so early? Wouldn't it be better to work your way up to more skills first (like Decrepify, etc.) rather than taking all of those passives first?
Hi, @Goblin, I noticed that the guide isn't lining up with your video - specifically, the paragon board doesn't seem like what's represented on the video? - Paragon board 1 on the guide lists "Control" as the Glyph, instead of "Deadraiser" - Paragon board 2 on the guide has "Blood Begets Blood", but your video has "Cult Leader" Would it be possible to line up the Paragon board with the video, please? Thank you! (Love the guide, by the way)
how high of pit level are you taking this build though? i'm currently at pit 75 with the alt minion build with army of the dead and not sure if this is better or not
@@lordmakino9514 no i mean on the srason blessings. The one i. The middle boost thr chance of receiving a second item when purchasing from thr purveyor of curiosities
This is great man! You got my sub. I really like how you highlight/border the important skills. Very helpful man. Looking forward to your spirit wave video
Probably not terrible because the +passives are great for minions, but I don't know the theorycraft. You might be short on defensive stats and you will basically never be in stealth and use the stealth bonus damage since your minions are always damaging.
How do you keep your essence up? Is that just by stacking Soulrift duration and CD so it has a constant uptime? I seem to have a hard time, timing the cooldown of soulrift with the duration
So my question is if armor maxes at 1000, but you lose 1000 in WT4 should my armor read 1000 or 2000 when I’m looking at the attack power-Armor- life page?
Hey @Goblin Inc. thinking of making an alt after getting pretty optimised on my first char, and feeling like I might do a necro. I usually make my own builds but feel like just doing something optimised and S tier. What do you think will be the strongest endgame necro build this season? Spirit wave? Pure bone spirit? Or is it actually this? Would love to hear your thoughts. Cheers!
Strongest in terms of highest pit clear is pure bone spirit, best for insanely fast farming will be blood surge. Minions is a fantastic build that will out perform the other builds until they get ubers and all of their scaling going in the very late game. You should probably play minions to start then swap to something else once you get the gear and glyphs and everything
Greetings, I have my build setup exact to this, so far lvl 181 paragon and when I equip the grandfather my crit damage stays at 400 percent? Shouldn’t it double? Is this a bug? I’m not getting anywhere near your damage
If you watch macroboiboi video whenever you summon a minion you basically restart the rings timer to proc. So it would be beneficial to not use it. And summon when needed probably not 100% sure on that but that's what I got from his video.
Is it possible for this build to really be an S tier, or do I have to switch to Omega blood? I mean I got pretty much all of the gear, 17/3 in mages, all mythics, and I doubt if I can survive pit tier 100-150
for anyone else that comes across this, it scales OK - the issue is that your minions practically ignore aetheric masses, so good lood luck when there's 4 (which happens a lot) because your reap does jack all to them - other than that it's fairly effective.
how you get all that life omg on my level 38 necro i still only have 144 hp and like 69 power 680 defense wtf why im that low is it normal at that level 38 to be like that?
I think this video is from the test realm not actual release. But I'm only level 31 right now, but my numbers are much closer to yours. But endgame is a different situation
I love your guides and how simple you explain stuff. I’m just not picking here and I feel like a jerk for feeling this way but I don’t know why lately, gamer terminology uses “I’m playing this aspect”. No, you are USING that aspect you aren’t playing it. Maybe playing with it, but not playing it. It’s just something I’ve noticed in “gamer speak” lately. People “play” perks instead of use them.
Ahh that’s where the usage comes from? Makes sense. I hear it more often. “I’m playing Grandfather” no no my friend. You are playing WITH a grandfather or using it. Not playing it. It’s just interesting how gamer speak develops and moves around.

This game needs convocation skill so bad. So many melee minions stuck behind you doing no damage I’m noticing
Yeah it's rough coming from Poe, convocation is such a boon
and better minion AI xD

hasta que calabozo se llega con esa build?? estas mostrando uno lvl 65 , pone un video calabozo lvl 100 +

Fixed. I love necro

Mendeln is bugged.
Mercenary resets its counter as well as new summons ans wolfs...
Extra mage attacjs dont count also
I'm so confused with the leveling version of this build. How do I use a golem if I don't have a skill slot for it? The skill leveling order seems wonky too.
You have to do the quest for the golem at level 25, and then you can just drop Golem on your bar from your skills menu.
I know that much, but the build doesn't have the minion summon on the ability bar.@@keystonelyte

any way we can get an update on this build ??
What do you think about running the Unmaker helm for endgame?
Aphotic still triggers lucky hit? I did some minor testing yesterday and I couldn’t see any CDR triggers from warriors at all. Figured it was patched.
Hi, @Goblin, I noticed that the guide isn't lining up with your video - specifically, the paragon board doesn't seem like what's represented on the video?
- Paragon board 1 on the guide lists "Control" as the Glyph, instead of "Deadraiser"

Would it be possible to line up the Paragon board with the video, please? Thank you! (Love the guide, by the way)
If you watch the video he tells you his board will not match the video because he did it on the fly while recording
How did your blood surge variations survive the upgrade to Vessel? I'm curious if you'll be adding a video about that. Thanks.
Coming soon!
Amazing build and explanation. This is exactly what i needed as a new player!
how high of pit level are you taking this build though? i'm currently at pit 75 with the alt minion build with army of the dead and not sure if this is better or not
Was the bug with Aphotic Aspect fixed? How to adjust if so?
You either were lucky, or I'm unlucky, but I've not gotten the Ring of Mendeln yet, and spent quite a lot of Obols on rings.
If you do the achievements you get a ring from there very easy
do the achievements man ... ring is there.
Make sure you also bump in the seasonal burning ash buff on your chance to get 2x items. Got mine (non-GA) after 3 tries.
Achievements like the season cache or something?
@@lordmakino9514 no i mean on the srason blessings. The one i. The middle boost thr chance of receiving a second item when purchasing from thr purveyor of curiosities
Could you also use ring of starless skies for your other ring slot
I love the build but seems like my essence is always low to cast decrep any help? Thanks
This is great man! You got my sub.
I really like how you highlight/border the important skills. Very helpful man.
Looking forward to your spirit wave video
The paragon is all strange, I don't understand why I get the blood orb if there's no way to generate it
I have the same question on blood orbs - why do we use this legendary on the second board?
@@MrDaihlo corpse tendrils generates blood orbs
good evening thank you very much for the video I did not have the heir of perdition helmet I had the shako can I wear it
suggestion upgrade your mic... the sound not so good
Workin on it haha
Have they fixed photic archon applying curse bug?
good evening you know how to tell me why I still haven't found the true innovation in terms of the duration of soulrift
is this build still going to be good if the decrepify bug gets fixed? I usually dont like doing builds that revolve around bugs
Hasn't been fixed in 3 seasons at this point its just a feature. Build would be fine without
What skill do you have active for your mercenaries
Is shroud mythic chest good with this build?
Probably not terrible because the +passives are great for minions, but I don't know the theorycraft. You might be short on defensive stats and you will basically never be in stealth and use the stealth bonus damage since your minions are always damaging.
Hey! Could you update the gems on mobalytics please? Would be much appreciated!! Thank you!! 🙏🏼
When it state "increase minion damage" does that include the golem as well or is he different damage type?
yes, golem is considered a minion
@@Someothername2134 nice this got 10x easier
@@strategist973 for sure. It has been frustrating that the tooltips dont always tell the whole story. They have definitely gotten better though.
How do you keep your essence up? Is that just by stacking Soulrift duration and CD so it has a constant uptime? I seem to have a hard time, timing the cooldown of soulrift with the duration
That and using Decrepify Curse to reset cooldown when killing affected enemies.
I can't even get the amulet or the gloves for this minion build. Got everything else😢
So my question is if armor maxes at 1000, but you lose 1000 in WT4 should my armor read 1000 or 2000 when I’m looking at the attack power-Armor- life page?
page shows armor descrease
@@Goblin-Inc thanks, I need to rework some gear then lol. With my amulet I have 2300 armor. Without it it shows 800🤣
You are shooting for 2000. Just go to pentinent and see your 2000, switch to t4 and you'll be at 1000
The guide on mob isn’t updated :/
What issues did you notice?
It doesn’t match to your videos lol

I’m barely doing damage in tier 3, not sure what I’m doing wrong, It’s almost like I got weaker after getting grandfathwr
Hey boss, curious about whether or not you can run the auto-ring here (I’m too lazy to press q to summon minions)
I mean you can you just lose damage, replace great feast
Yes just use 1 hand and a shield or focus

@@MasterJiraiyaGamin but you still need to cast it for the priest buff yes? And if you keep your minions healthy enough, you won’t be re summoning
@@pauz5864 Tru
Have you tried shadmist with mendeln?
Works but only really enables warriors who dont do much damage
Is it possible for this build to really be an S tier, or do I have to switch to Omega blood? I mean I got pretty much all of the gear, 17/3 in mages, all mythics, and I doubt if I can survive pit tier 100-150
i have all of the gear and about 235 Paragon -> lvl 85 Pit is max. for me. lvl 90 time runs out.
@@ElWapplo yeah, I already switched to spirit wave necromancer, I believe it'll be mich better
I could survive a 100-105 but i couldnt damage anything
@@irishhawk1 yeah, thats the Problem. Maybe with all Glyphs at 100 but its almost impossible when you can only manage a 85 Pit.
bro said the tree would be in the discription yet nothing here.
Rocking this on t3 with trash gear. Superb build
i got this ring in lvl 24
my minion lvl 24 normal attack deal 200 dmg and trigger ring boom 12k dmg
when they fix the glitch will this still be good?
Yes and it's been in for 3 seasons its not going anywhere
Does this actually scale enough to do lvl 8 infernal hordes
yes
for anyone else that comes across this, it scales OK - the issue is that your minions practically ignore aetheric masses, so good lood luck when there's 4 (which happens a lot) because your reap does jack all to them - other than that it's fairly effective.
How does it do against bosses
not very good
The Aspect of Grasping Veins is half bugged, and why in the ammy?
Works fully with mendeln
I watched from mobile but why in video cult leader is first board after starting board but in guide it's 4th board, unless I saw wrong
This is what I commented about how his videos don’t match up with his guides
@@2girls1vince you dont care about videos just use the guide, video record are not always updated, the guide always is.
Brooo versión no ubers? 😢
I quit minions I have tried so many times to play but the AI is so bad.
Hey, I just bought this game and im trying this build in a few minutes wish me luck :))
Can you actually show your skill tree
What about the gems
so, no mendeln, whats the variations to run golem on the guide?
Obulous and buy rings in curiosity to obtain mendeln
why u dont finish ur presentation , is nice but ............ no finish
Omg its not based on YOURE ATTACK SPEED its based on youre MINIONS attack speed slow down and read the effect proper
cant do empty tendrils on console haha
Personnaly i use the un maker as a head piece i thin it's maybe better for survivability because i can basicly keep the ultimate forever
all im saying all talk no showing skill tree jesus :/
how you get all that life omg on my level 38 necro i still only have 144 hp and like 69 power 680 defense wtf why im that low is it normal at that level 38 to be like that?
I think this video is from the test realm not actual release. But I'm only level 31 right now, but my numbers are much closer to yours. But endgame is a different situation
This is from live, yes your hp is normal. You get insane hp from end game gear
pit 65..nah
I thought Inspiring Leader gives 30% cc to your minions... 18% directly and 12% because you share your stats with your minions... ^^
this has been tested thoroughly, its only 18% for minions

Army of the dead literally has no use and thats supposed to be THE MINION ultimate 😂 pathetic
Bad
Hell yeah I didn't know the spiritbourne had minions... 🥸
