Diablo 4 Season 5 - Best Necromancer Builds

Can i ask who the content creator is that is making a bone spear build so i can look out for it

@operatorotter is bombardier build dead?

Planning a shadowblight build myself but the amount of conflicting stat options is driving me a little crazy. Going to use minions with shademist and torturous for just constant procs. I would really love to make Mortacrux part of this build but that might be a stretch. Very excited to try to solve this build approach!

Good evening, Otter, I've actually played my own version of Blood Surge season 1 (it wasn't bad, it wasn't great) and in season 4 (it was very good). I feel it could have been much better however, I'm not much of a wiz when it comes to the paragon board. I kept tweaking it here and there and managed a Pit 100. It could have performed better likely with a better player at the controls. I'm an average player at best. I will go with the Blood Surge again this season. It is my favorite class and game play. Thank you for your continued content.

i think Corpse skill gonna be on top this season

So Dark Dance activates every 5 seconds in like every 5 seconds a single cast of Surge will cost HP or it will last for 5 seconds?

My plans are to run a Minions leveling build to sprint to 100 and start farming ladder bosses or whatever, then I guess see what you and the others in the community consider to be a good early game build to put together from there! Bone Spirit seems extremely gear dependent so might be an endgame build to work towards, but Bone Spear or Sever might be sweet to start with

Nice to see the shademist build getting some shine. Its a fun one. Looking forward to seeing build ideas for this in the future. I played it in ptr and had alot of fun with it!

What about blood surge and blood wave ? Thoughts ?

"Bugs determine the meta" sad but true

Shademist was proccing the X'Fal's Ring in PTR, though I didn't check if this was unintended and addressed as a bug fix in the recent patch notes. With X'Fal's getting buffed to 75% from the 50%, a crit-based Shadowblight-X'Fal's build might be decent.

I’m running blood surge for everything. Just too fun not to

Look at this necro Andy... jeez ;)

Though I still believe Bone Spirit will remain the uncontended king, this Shademist Shadowblight build is looking S-P-I-C-Y. So I'm very hopeful for it. Let me know your thoughts. Have a good day fellow nerds!
