Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build: PVP & PVE

This Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build will showcase skills needed, weapons used, gems, and armor pieces for battle!

Players who are going to go to the class itself should know how the class operates. In essence, when players use the Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build to get a hold of the gameplay aspect, it allows them to haunt their opponents by possessing them. Using skills and attacks that are aimed to be short-ranged, players can summon forth “undead supports.” With that, they can also cast potent spells, rendering them useless whenever they hit the enemies. 

Key Takeaways
  • Diablo Immortal has many builds to choose from. One of them is the Necromancer build, where players can possess their enemies.
  • When focusing on a Necromancer build, there are six skills you must have for the build to perform to its potential
    • Soulfire 
    • Command Skeleton 
    • Corpse Explosion
    • Bone Armor 
    • Bone Wall 
    • Command Golem
  • Keep in mind that not all of these skills are available right off the bat, and you have to reach certain levels to unlock some.
  • The best pieces of armor for Necromancer are: 
    • (Head Piece) Crown of The Gilded Leash 
    • (Chest Piece) Parting Gift
    • (Shoulder Piece) Rotspur
    • (Leg Piece) Sacred Chausses
  • In terms of the best main-hand weapon for Necromancer, is: Desolatoria and the best off-hand weapon is: Baleful Trinity.

The Necromancers themselves will stay at a safe distance so that they do not deplete their overall HP while being able to depend on their minions to do most of the face-to-face hits toward foes. This makes the Necromancer class itself pretty viable. With that, let’s get started!

Skills For Necromancer Build

Kicking things off with our main skillset, players will be using 6 or so skills that are incredibly overpowered and, therefore a must for the Necromancer Build. These skills will aid the player whenever they are trying out the Necromancer class in Diablo Immortal, as it will provide offensive and defensive buffs. 

Soulfire

The first skill that Diablo Immortal Players will highly benefit from is Soulfire which can be used anytime whenever they are in the middle of combat and need to take out enemies quickly. The skill itself does not have a cooldown, and on top of that, it can be unlocked at level one. 

With it mainly being to support the player, players will be able to unleash a soulfire ball that will be filled with energy whenever it is cast. Upon reaching the target opponent, it will explode, which will cause them to intake damage and be able to deal 25% of the base attack to enemies present in the radius. 

Command Skeleton

  • Active: Command skeletons to charge at a location and increase attack speed by 80% for 4.5 seconds
  • Passive: Raise a skeleton every 8 seconds to a max of 2

Yet another crucial skill is known as Command Skeleton, which entails powering up players in Diablo Immortal by offering them the ability to summon forth skeletal champions that will be completely under the player’s command. After that, they can order them to head over to a certain location and kill off enemies. 

This skill will also buff up the attack speed of players by a total of 80%, alongside increasing it for 4.5 seconds. The skill has an 8-second cooldown, and it can be unlocked as early as the Necromancer main being a level one beginner. 

Corpse Explosion

1 secondSkillsDetonates all corpses in the target area, dealing 51 damage to nearby enemies.

The next skill that we would like to mention is Corpse Explosion, which is known to be a damage and control skill that can help the players achieve victory without much difficulty. It will cast out corpses that can be unleashed at the foe, and after exploding, it will cause enemies to take in the damage, even hurting close-by enemies. 

A small side effect is that if the same enemy is being attacked repeatedly by corpse Explosions, each time they take a hit, they will take in 40% less damage output from the explosions. The skill will have a short cooldown of one second, and it unlocks at level 3.

Bone Armor

20 secondsSkillsProtection for you and nearby allies with a shield of bones that absorbs damage for 12 seconds

Another useful skill the players can use for the Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build is the Bone Armor, which is more of a buffer skill than a direct damage output skill. With it to provide ample protection for the Necromancer player, it will essentially cast out a protective shield when in the arena. 

The shield will continue to absorb damage for 12 seconds, and the shield itself looks pretty aesthetically pleasing. The skill will be equipable when the player reaches level 41, which is considered to be mid-game. With that, it also has a 20-second cooldown. 

Bone Wall

As for the skills that require them to be “control-based” skills, Bone Wall comes in when it can build up a wall that is completely made of bones that will continue to block any incoming enemy attacks. No matter how strong the damage output is, it will make it impossible for the projectiles to cross through for 9.2 seconds. 

The skill is pretty useful in combat, especially for players in Diablo Immortal who want to stay protected from potentially fatal attacks. Bone Wall will have a 14-second cooldown, and players can only acquire and cast it when they reach level 28.

Command Golem

Ending our skills, we have Command Golem, which means that players can cast out a golem made of bones for a total of 24 seconds, and it will continue to pierce and dash towards enemies and stun them. It will also have the ability to cause severe damage while also taunting the opponents. 

The skill will last for 6 seconds while having a 36-second cooldown and also being able to be unlocked only at level 50. 

Legendary Items/ Armor Pieces 

Next up, we would like to talk about the armor pieces that players can use to min-max their Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build while also being protected while in the heat of the battle and doing decent damage output. 

Head Piece

The main headpiece in Diablo Immortal that players will want to go for is the Crown of The Gilded Leash, which can essentially be worn on the head to protect from any incoming attacks from the enemy’s end. 

With that, the Command Skeletons passive will offer the ability to summon forth a Skeletal Captain that will charge forth towards enemies and obliterate them in their wake. By reducing their overall HP, it makes it a lot easier to whirlwind the Captain to that location of the opponent and render them useless.

Now, for the chest pieces, Diablo Immortal players can go for three or so chest pieces, with one of them being known as Parting Gift. Essentially, the way it works is that it will be worn on the player’s stomach to provide ample guarding against the enemy’s projectiles reaching them. 

The armor piece itself, however though, will grant the player damage immunity to a certain extent, and it will continue to prevent the player from taking in excessive damage so that they can stay alive for longer periods. The Bone Armor cooldown will also be reduced by 10%. 

Second Chest Piece

The next chest piece, The Inviting Tomb, can be used as a viable replacement for Parting Gift. With it in hand, players can expect a solid increase in their protection against enemies. 

The way it works is that the bone Wall will basically summon forth a circular wall made of bones, and it will continuously trap and lock enemies inside the cage, whereby they will not be able to escape. This makes it so that the players can then go ahead and continue to pierce through them, killing them off with ease. 

Third Chest Piece

Looking for a better chest piece? Why not go for the Covet Nothing, which essentially will continue to use Bone Armor as a way to unleash such potent damage to closeby enemies that it will obliterate them. 

The opponents will gain increased damage taken from the player’s side in Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build, all the while being able to shield the teammates for a certain amount of time. The only caveat for the chest piece is that once the enemies start taking in increased damage, players will not be shielded anymore.

To protect your shoulders in the Diablo Immortal game, the Rotspur is probably the only solid option that you can go for. While worn on the shoulder blades, it will protect the player in Diablo Immortal from being taken by surprise and rendered useless. 

Corpse Explosion will continue to unleash Blight in the general radius in which the opponents are present, which will apply the “Poison” debuff to them. The debuff itself will then cause enemies to slowly deplete their HP over time, which eventually but slowly kills them off entirely.

Leg Piece

The inclusion of Sacred Chausses in a player’s inventory ensures they won’t need to consider other leg armor options. Equipping these chausses activates the Bone Wall skill, granting the player valuable buffs. Furthermore, it extends the duration of the bone wall and reduces the skill’s cooldown by 10 seconds. This enhancement allows Diablo Immortal players to cast the skill more frequently while enjoying increased protection.

Weapons For Necromancer Build

Players using the Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build as an end-all build that they hope can carry them throughout the entirety of the early, mid, and late-game content. There will be two main weapons, one of them being the main hand and the other being an off-hand weapon that assists further in combat. 

Desolatoria

One of the most crucial options for players’ main hand in Diablo Immortal is the Desolatoria. This weapon allows players to unleash powerful devastation on the battlefield. When equipped, the Command Golem skill is activated, summoning a molten golem that launches fiery attacks, burning and stunning enemies. This enables players to go on the offensive and eliminate their foes effectively.

Baleful Trinity

Next up, the Baleful Trinity will fulfill the role of being used as the off-hand weapon, which can also do an excellent job of killing off enemies. It will give the player ample chances to unleash potent damage that will be so damaging that it won’t give the enemies a chance to survive. 

The skill Soulfire will play its part in murdering foes by being able to bounce towards one extra foe, which will cause it to attack them. The enemy will continue to be inflicted with enough damage output to deplete their HPs. With the Awakened Effect, the overall damage output of soulfire will be enhanced by 10%. 

Gems To Look Into 

Moving on, people might want to look into equipping gems when they want to get the most out of the Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build because it will provide a certain buff in combat. These buffs can include movement speed, attack speed, defense, offense, and many other enhancements. 

Berserker’s Eye 

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+15+8Increases all damage you deal by 5.50%, but also increases all damage you take by 5%.

The first gem that we would like Diablo Immortal players to look at is Berserker’s Eye, which essentially has three main ranks. At rank one, it will enhance the damage output by a total of 5%, but players will intake damage enhanced by 6%, which means that while the damage output is increasing, intake is also increasing. 

At rank 3, players will get a crit rate enhancement of 1%, which might not sound like a lot, but when players are in a crucial position on the battlefield, it can make or break the combat and victory for players in Diablo. Rank 5 will grant players a 5% enhanced chance to come across Magic Items. 

Everlasting Torment

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+15+8Your critical hits inflict agony, dealing 10% base damage +122 every second for 6 seconds. Each enemy cannot be affected by this more often than once every 20 seconds.

Another solid gem option is Everlasting Torment which is going to come in handy when the Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build is being used in the arena against tougher enemies. At rank one, it will offer the chance to unleash agony on your opponents whenever the player lands a critical hit. 

At rank three, any enemy near the player will gain enhanced attack speed by a total of 1%. The rank five will offer up a further 5% chance to find magic items in the open world. 

Seled’s Weakening 

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+15+8Gain 6.00% increased damage for 60 seconds after killing an Elite or Boss monster.

Anytime you take down an elite mob, take the Seled’s Weakening with you since it will offer up the 6% boosted chance to gain an attack buff anytime the elite mob has been murdered on the battlefield. 

The Necromancer build can truly benefit from the Seled’s Weakening simply because it will make killing elite enemies all the easier. 

Bloody Reach

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+30+12Increases all damage you deal by 2.00% for every 2 yards between you and the enemy hit, up to a maximum of 2.00*4% at 8 yards.

If you are a player in Diablo Immortal that would rather benefit from a gem that will enhance your total damage output, but it is according to the distance between you and your opponent, then the Bloody Reach is the one for you. 

In essence, at rank one will do exactly that, whereby it will increase the damage you inflict on opponents by a total of 1.5% for every 2 yards between the both of you in the arena. Rank three will allow players to attack enemies while also decreasing the speed of enemies. 

Fervent Fang

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+30+12Each time you deal damage to an enemy, that enemy now takes 0.80% increased damage from your attacks, up to a maximum increase of 0.80*10% at 10 stacks.

Another viable option for gems that players can benefit from is the Fervant Fang, which will make enemies deplete their overall Health points by slowly increasing the damage being dealt with them the more attacks the player deals. 

Rank three will be of aid to players who want to abuse the Diablo Immortal Build to make it broken as hell and make it a joke to kill off Elite enemies. 

Power And Command 

ResonanceCombat RatingEffect
+30+12Power and Command alternates states every 9 seconds. Power increases your Primary Attack damage by 8.00%. Command increases all other skill damage by 8.00%.

Another option is Power and Command, which switches states for a total of 9 seconds, going from one to the other, and it will improve the player’s overall normal attacks by a total of 7.5%. It is vital for the player present in a tough battle. 

At rank three, the Power and Command gem will just increase the chances of negating any negative effects that the gem might have on the player when it is in its alternative state. We will wrap up our Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build; let us know what you think! 

Best Necromancer Paragon Traits

Upon reaching level 60 in Diablo Immortal, you unlock the Paragon System and infernal difficulty levels, offering opportunities to enhance your Necromancer Build. Focus your attention on the Vanquisher skill tree, especially on Damage and Zeal when allocating Paragon points.

Prioritize Damage and Zeal investments to boost your damage output in both PvP and PvE modes. Your choice here greatly impacts your Necromancer Build’s endgame potential. Increasing Damage improves attack rates, particularly valuable for an AoE-focused class like the Necromancer.

Zeal enhances your synergy with each enemy you defeat. By leveling up Zeal and utilizing Corpse Explosion to stack Zeal quickly, you can effectively confront formidable foes, making your Necromancer Build powerful for the endgame, where upgrades are crucial.

Best Necromancer Build Attribute

In Diablo Immortal, Necromancer builds rely on five attributes: Intelligence, Strength, Vitality, Fortitude, and Willpower. To optimize your Necromancer, prioritize enhancing Intelligence, Vitality, and Willpower.

Intelligence is crucial for spellcasting classes like the Necromancer. Skip investing in Strength and Fortitude, as they benefit melee classes. Attributes also boost your Combat Rating.

When acquiring equipment, focus on items that boost Intelligence and Vitality scores. Vitality, especially, is vital for an endgame-ready Necromancer, increasing your Life stat. This resilience allows you to withstand damage in battle, essential for this minion-dependent class when facing hordes of foes.
