Necromancer Class Overview – Maxroll

%TOC_PLACEHOLDER%

The Necromancer returns in Diablo 4 as the master of the Undead! They wield Shadow, Blood, Bone, and Curses as easily as ever before. With a horde of Skeletons, lead by your massive Golem, a single Necro fills the fields of Sanctuary with a terrifying host. The fuel you need to DEVASTATE the entire screen with MASSIVE Corpse Explosions is never more than a single dead demon away! This overview covers their Strengths & Weaknesses, Skills, Passives, Legendary Aspects, and much more.

All information in this article is from the Open Beta Access of Diablo 4. The content presented here is subject to change, and will be updated as we learn more.

Class Identity

Strengths

Versatile Damage: Necromancer Offensive Skills have a great mixture of AoE and Single-Target options. The versatility comes in that many of the AoE sources of damage also work well against Single-Targets.Blood Orbs: This Necromancer specific resource gives us great options for replenishing Life, Essence and even triggering other Passives/Aspects for skill synergizing.Crowd-Control: The Necromancer can Slow, Stun, Pull, Chill, apply Vulnerable and literally imprison enemies in rings of Bone. Few other classes can accomplish all of this in the same build.Surprisingly Tanky: Don’t let the emaciated body fool you. The Necro easily stacks Fortify and Barrier, all while replenishing Life and becoming completely Immune through Blood Mist. Throw some Skeletons or your Golem in the way of danger for even more survivability.Corpse Explosion: It’s the best Skill the Diablo franchise has ever had. Once a single tiny demon body hits the floor, you cover the screen in blood and gore! This Skill NEVER stops being satisfying everytime you clear the screen and the next one too!

Weaknesses

Too Many “Core” Skills: While the options for Skills gives a lot of room for customization, EVERY end-game Necro build wants to use Corpse Explosion, Corpse Tendrils, and Blood Mist. While it seems silly to complain about having great Skills, this does limit the types of builds since we can only use 6 at a time.Squishy To Start: The Necromancer becomes very tanky during a fight. “Becomes” being the key word there. You need to collect Blood Orbs and generate Corpses to max out your Fortify and Barrier bonuses, which requires active combat.Complex Skill Rotation: You need to keep multiple timers and Skill cooldowns at the forefront of your mind to truly unlock the potential of Necro builds. The addition of Blood Orbs and needing to grab them where they drop adds even further complications to keep track of.Where are the Corpses?: Generating Corpses can be a lot harder than you might expect. For Bosses and other single-target objectives, your ability to generate Corpses to resurrect minions, and use Corpse Explosion/Corpse Tendrils can be a tough task to accomplish. Slow Late Game Scaling: The Necro absolutely SMASHES open-world content, PvP, and Early-game leveling, but they’re also very gear dependent. You might hit a brick wall progression-wise until you find key gear pieces to give you the Utility and damage multipliers you need to push high tier Nightmare Dungeons.

Equipment

Necromancers have the option of using a strong 2-Handed Weapon for bigger damage multipliers, or 1-Handed Weapon and a Focus for Cooldown Reduction and an additional Legendary Aspect, or swapping the Focus for a Shield for more survivability and Block Chance.

Focus vs Shield: The Focus allows you to stack more Damage and Cooldown Reduction. The Shield gives a unique Chance to Block which reduces incoming damage by a large percentage, and stack Thorns damage.2-Handed vs 1-Handed: Since the Necromancer is reliant on Legendary Aspects for our biggest damage multipliers, the 2-Handed Weapon gives the biggest bonus here as well as on its rolled affixes. That being said, 1-Handed Weapon combinations can give better Skill Damage and the ability to select an additional Aspect to better empower a hybrid build.

Skill Tree & Passives

Skill points are unlocked by level-ups and the Renown system. As you spend more points, you unlock more and more categories of skills. Each active skill can be ranked up to 5 times (with bonus Ranks from items), increasing their damage (usually +10% of the base value) or reducing their cooldown by 5% with each additional rank. After unlocking a skill, you can enhance it with another point and then choose one out of two upgrades to specialize it further.

There are Passive Skills found all over the tree, attached as optional choices to certain skill clusters. They grant small bonuses to damage, defense or utility under certain conditions and help to round out your build by shifting it further in the direction you want to take. All passives have 3 ranks and usually scale linearly.

Necromancer Class Quest: Unlock Your Golem

The Necromancer needs to complete a Class specific Quest to unlock the ability to summon their golem. See our guided walkthrough below:

Guided Necromancer Class Quest

Check out our Necromancer Book of the Dead post for more details on this system.

Attributes

The four core attributes provide the following to the Necromancer:

Strength: Armor (1 each)Intelligence: Skill Damage (10% per 100), All Elemental Resistances (5% per 100)Willpower: Resource Generation (10% per 100), Healing Received (10% per 100), Overpower Damage (25% per 100)Dexterity: Critical Strike Chance (2% per 100), Dodge Chance (2.5% per 100)

Intelligence is considered the main attribute as it increases your damage dealt. Dexterity and Willpower are also useful for their offensive and defensive bonuses, while Strength does next to nothing. Some items can roll bonuses to attributes and later on Paragon boards allow stacking the right stats for your character. In addition, you may find hidden Altars of Lilith in the open world that unlock a permanent bonus for all of your characters.

Check out our Stat Overview to learn more.

Legendary Aspects

Legendary Aspects offer another important avenue of build customization. They can be either found as a Legendary items or imprinted on an item at the Occultist. Aspects with dynamic values are +100% effective on Two-Handed Weapons and +50% effective on Amulets in most cases.

Check out our Legendary Aspects Overview to learn more details.

Codex of Power

The Codex of Power is a collection of Legendary Aspects that the Occultist can imprint on any rare or legendary item for a cost. Each power has to be unlocked by completing a specific Dungeon once and always comes with their minimum value if they have a dynamic value. As of right now, most maximum values are unknown and left out from this list. Certain effects with flat damage, Life or Barrier values scale with character level or item power.

Listed below are all the Necromancer Legendary Aspects. Check out our Codex of Power Overview to see those available to all classes.

Drop-only

These aspects cannot be crafted from the Codex of Power and instead must be found as a Legendary drop. A list will follow once there is more information.

Unique Items

Unique items have special Aspects that you cannot extract or overwrite. A list will follow once there is more information.
