Bone Spear Necromancer Build in Diablo 4
The Bone Spear Necromancer is one of the most effective Diablo 4 builds for leveling a necromancer. She's also great for the end game, providing high damage and a high chance of landing a critical hit with bone spear. Combining the Bone Spear with a lot of crafted corpses allows us to easily regenerate our Essence and deal significant damage with Взрыва трупа
. Thanks to these possibilities Bone Necromancer becomes a very reliable and consistent build.
Endgame gives us access to more powerful Legendary abilities that take this build to the next level. Since the main source of damage is Bone Spears, we can choose legendary abilities that specialize in them!
In addition to being reliable and consistent, this build also places a vulnerable effect on enemies, making it a great choice for group play. Also, you can decide if you will use the skeletons as a melee, as having strong tank minions can be very useful for you and your comrades. You can also just donate skeletons and use Corpse Tendrilsto gain more crowd control in solo or group play.
You can upgrade your character with this build, but it's recommended that you check out the Necromancer leveling guide to get the best gaming experience before jumping into this build.
