If you use the Blood Quills Aspect for Blood Lance it counts as picking up blood orbs. Works for Potent Blood, Blood Artisans Cuirass, Blooddrinker Glyph (free fortify).....everything that picks up/consumes blood orbs. You can just Blood Mist in and then spam Blood Lances while still summoning Bone Spirits.
Man I'm so glad I went necro this season...I love trying out your builds and seeing all the theory crafting!! Keep it up dude, thanks for the good times!
Man, can you stop making build like this please. Everytime you put out a new build, it’s so good that i had to try it. To the point that it drained all of my gold and resources. Please kind sir, can you just make a simple broken overpower bone spear build, just like every content creators do?
I'm not going to lie, I feel like this too. Every time you put out a new build, I got to go farm an extra 15+ million gold just in preparation for the next one. 😂
This is what i was talking about, but they broke it with the missing blood orbs with tendrills. With it fixed on 1.1.1 I might get back to it, its was a fun build.
Love all your videos man (I will go back and "like" the ones I forgot to). I really learned a lot about Necros from u and ur vids probably cemented them as my favorite class! Just a question, since you are THE AUTHORITY in Necro gaming: Does the damage bonus for minions from Great Feast vanish if I run out of essence?
Interesting build, thanks for making it. I think having Barber slotted in weakens the showcase though, Barber hides the normal mechanics of the build and smooths off any rough edges. I'd like to see how it performs without it.
I just tested this and it is great! I Need to adjust and grab some more gear to make it more the one you showed, but I'm enjoying it a lot. Still on level 65, but it's ok hehe. Thanks
I worked so hard on a Bone Spirit Necromancer build for Diablo 3 that is a delight to see bone spirit being considered viable as an end game build in Diablo 4
ty for build. I am curious if you tested Aspect of the Swelling Curse. Bone Spirit dmg 25% based on distance traveled??? Is it ineffective at close range?
Gave this build a try... lots of fun! I had just broke into Tor4 and my mist build was struggling, was looking for new. Really glad i stumbled onto you video. Subbed and liked, will return for more!
Lets see it clear a t100 first. Tired of seeing all these build videos by people claiming its "such an amaaaaaazing build" but then you check gameplay footage and they're only running 60s 🤦♂️ Especially the clickbait turds that title every build "the best ever" (you know who you are.. and so do we)
First off, why does T100 matter. Second off, whyre you holding this video accountable for other videos you've seen that are click bait xD. This build easily clears T80's and that's good enough for me. Never claimed it was an S Tier T100 clearing build. Most aren't.
im confused on the bone spirit.. is it 3% for each point you have at the time you cast as you said.. or for each point of essence spent to cast bone spirit like the tooltip says..
Started this build at the beginning of Season 1. It is loads of fun and packs go boom after corpse pull. Only real issues I ran into was essence rebuild and getting a 5* roll. Glad to see you touch on it.
From what I can see the only real use is to get 2 more tics on the shielding storm (the additional tics from blight's dot trigger the aspect). I'd swap that aspect for the increased duration one ( wich would require a different rotation on other aspects/items but it's doable)
@@ziosalvo5137 well, I would instead leep the Lidless wall and swap Ultimate Shadow for the Shielding Storm, that way you can have all important aspects and still maintain 100% uptime on Bone Storm.
@@matheusmterra honestly I don't like shields at all. You trade 10% DMG for something like 10% DMG reduction but you lose the cooldown reduction from focuses. Not only this but the real 100% bones storm uptime is doable only if you keep the osseus gale aspect (otherwise you are just using bone storm as a situational "god mode"). It's worth to note that the consumed corpses from osseus gale are also functional to the build.
@@ziosalvo5137 actually no, with Lidless Wall you can keep chaining Bone Storms when moving from pack to pack, since any of the active Bone Storms count for that shield's effect. Additionally, if I'm not mistaken, this build is running Fastblood, which means you can easily keep 100% uptime even without Osseous Gale.
@@matheusmterra actually you can refresh the storm really fast but in lvl90+ ND there's a big difference from engaging a pack with the bone storm already active and having the storm activated few moments later, it's just matter of quality of life. Try yourself lidless against focus + aspect, in my case lidless can be handy in fast farming/ low tier ND, from 80+ ND tier I always prefer the focus. On a side note: I don't use the fast blood aspect as well
Just curious, it's a hybrid of shadow/bone build. Main damage dealer is bone spirit, but still isn't shadowblight proc ultimate better than bone ultimate? Having 180%X DMG up all the time appears better than extra Crit DMG.
@@MacroBioBoiright, but that's the assumption of having 190 essence as your video showed character. To push for that high essense, you are at least sacrificing 3-4 rolls on gear attributes and some paragon points. If only having basic 100 essence, that's different story and formula. I still don't quite get it, if you really want to push for max essence, then make sense to have a fast essence generator like aspect of torment etc and manually cast bs. If you only want to use basic armor orbs procs bs, then having max essence is really a waste. Why not max shadow DMG having infimist doing most DMG and just use bs proc as free bonus.
I put out a build guide for something similar to this as on off season build (eternal) except my one focuses more on shadowblight and firing them off in mist. But, im utilising black river as it consumes 4 corpses with embalmer it spawns more orbs faster....one thing to note with cuirass you really really want a roll of 5-6 orbs for it to be efficient...anything higher its just not worth it....i havnt tried this in season yet as im running a mendeln bone spirit build with barber which has been insane so far. But i imagine this build with hearts is alot of fun as on eternal youre right...its the most fun in the game
im using a blood artisan blood build with blood lance / blood wave / bone prison / bone spirit managed to get so far 1603% Overpower dmg on the build, my blood lance picks up all my blood orbs for me also.
I’ve been using this chest with lid shield and black river. Before season I went rogue and most uniques were bad as necro it’s fun playing around with them all. Now I just need a new temerity cause I only have a pre patch version. Looking to have a build with 100% barrier and fortify uptime
This is what I have been running for a while and it works for me. Bloodmist in with embalmer - Corpse explode with Blackriver making Blight pools then run through the 20 or so Blood Orbs and blow the crap out of any elite that is left. Usually proceeding over a mount of unused corpses and setting of a whole host of wasted Bone Spirits. (The only company I have as I run solo with no skeletons).
macrobioboi has done it again! dang this build is game CHANGING. so much fun being basically infinimist and nuking everything! went from clearing 45 nms to 67 in just an evening changing to this updated version, thank you for your time and commitment, even if other people think the game is burnt out its still a nice break from everyday life. thanks again!
Corpse Tendril didn't originally consume the corpse but because of the heart, the corpse does get consumed. Does that apply to the Embalmer Aspect now? I know you said it in the video but normally casting Corpse Tendril would not count for that aspect.
Macro, can you make a thorns blood necro no minions, so primary thorns damage. I would love to see that. I asked Raxx as well so will see who can pull it off. I'm playing Barb thorns but it's been my dream since pre season to run a thorns Necro
I'm confused. How do you generate and consume the blood orbs? Do you try to spam hemo to generate orbs then run around to pick them up or am I missing something?
LOVING this build! Made it around level 60. Added in howl from below. Like a spirt Machine gun. After blood mist and bones storm are on cool down you have dozens of corpse on the ground. Then you rapid fire off 20 heat seeking corps explosions. 😂
got a lvl 63 currently. been doing a pure bone/ minion build. just got the gear to try this build. always liked bone spirit, even when I was playing D2.
On the skill VFX front, I think BoneSpirit pairs better with the blue ghosts popping with CE, that get cast when wearing the HowlFromBelow. I do love oddball build concepts though. I'd just crank up Essence recovery (Umbral etc) & Essence pool size by all means possible and hard spam the spirits
Question since you use Maxroll so much: Is there a way to take points out of the skill tree in the Build Planner? I've tried all sorts of button combos and of course simple things like right clicking on the nodes, but cannot find any way to pull out points of a skill so I can put them in another spot. This seems really back for a planner.....
right clicking removes points. Maybe you are trying to edit a planner that isn't yours? or maybe you're trying to remove a point that is required in order to unlock another skill you have selected?
Did you try going blood lance and just wearing the bone spirit armor. I feel with embalmer and corpse tendrils you would generate plenty of orbs and with blood lance you would pick them up very fast.
Not many stats on gear buff overpower so you could go bone spirit ranks and crit chance/dmg where needed. Just wondering if there is room too move skill points around to max bone spirit. I found blood lance very tanky so might not need bone storm, it wouldn't be procing shadow blight anyways.@@Arjuna1901
@@MacroBioBoi yes I can finally go back to my main build! Is there a way I can send you my paragon board? I optimized it and I think it might be of use to you and the community.
Should be amazing since a single cast of Bone Spirit is made for one shotting enemies of any HP size and as mentioned in the video, you can manually cast it still.

God the intro got me in the feels, freaking love yu yu ❤️
ty for build. I am curious if you tested Aspect of the Swelling Curse. Bone Spirit dmg 25% based on distance traveled??? Is it ineffective at close range?
I wrote it off without testing tbh
LOVE the editing choice to have the gameplay laid over you showing things. It tickles my late-millennial/early-gen-z adhd riddled brain.
I gotchu booboo

Thx fam
If your stats and paragons are optimized, u won't need that armor aspect on ur helm and can use shielding storm instead

im confused on the bone spirit.. is it 3% for each point you have at the time you cast as you said.. or for each point of essence spent to cast bone spirit like the tooltip says..
Those two statements are the same thing. How much essence you have at the point of cast, is spent on the spirit and the bonus is 3* that number.
Funny to see another amazing build that closes only NM62 on level 90. Stop doing this. Almost All builds are amazing on level 90 against NM62
I forgive you
Started this build at the beginning of Season 1. It is loads of fun and packs go boom after corpse pull. Only real issues I ran into was essence rebuild and getting a 5* roll. Glad to see you touch on it.
same here, so happy he did it so i can see the actual math, im to lazy to do it myself so this is going to be a huge upgrade
Time to binge yu yu hakusho
Have you tried using the Black River to blow up a bunch of corpses - and potentially create a pile of blood orbs - all at once?
Yes, it's very bad.
I have a ten orb build and it's pretty useless. Can't do any damage. At level 52
Why is the maxroll build you linked different? And can you explain the skill rotation in combat?
You're looking for the Blood Artisan's Cuirass setup in the guide.
One question: what's the purpose of Ultimate Shadow if you're not using Shadowblight? Why do you need to transform Bone Storm into a Darkness skill?
From what I can see the only real use is to get 2 more tics on the shielding storm (the additional tics from blight's dot trigger the aspect). I'd swap that aspect for the increased duration one ( wich would require a different rotation on other aspects/items but it's doable)

A 2.8 * 1.1 is weaker than a 1.6 * 2.4 multiplier. And it's only up once every 6 seconds for 6 seconds. So you have it up ~half the time.
@@MacroBioBoiright, but that's the assumption of having 190 essence as your video showed character.

Would Edgemaster's work for free casts of bone spirit? Thinking of a PvP version of this.
I literally have necro unique besides the ring, and I'm not 100% sure which build to go with
Aha! Im first comment, dope build

Cool build! Tho I am confused about one thing, what's the reasoning for Ultimate Shadow?

This might work better in the new season 3
Lidless wall not required? count me in! lol. I tried farming but still could not get it lol
where would you rank this, Macro? it looks fun but im wondering how quickly we accumulate 5 orbs
Where is the link for this build?
This is what I have been running for a while and it works for me. Bloodmist in with embalmer - Corpse explode with Blackriver making Blight pools then run through the 20 or so Blood Orbs and blow the crap out of any elite that is left.

No I don't believe I can. Necro doesn't have scalers for thorns damage, sadly.
hi, this build looks very fun :) will you be updating the guide?
Ima try this with the guided corpse explosion gloves
I have to play necro, I must it’s non negotiable
I'm confused. How do you generate and consume the blood orbs? Do you try to spam hemo to generate orbs then run around to pick them up or am I missing something?
Corpse tendrils
Hoping for a video on the Shadow Summoner build. Im loving it but im very curious what your thoughts are on the build more in depth

I do love oddball build concepts though.
I'd just crank up Essence recovery (Umbral etc) & Essence pool size by all means possible and hard spam the spirits
Thanks for this, top content as always.
Is this better than blood lance after patch?
Hey macro will you be updating this build on maxrolls?
Yes, hopefully by tonight
Brilliant thanks, keep up the great content!@@MacroBioBoi
you post it in a website?
Do you have an "end game" build guide since you recommend switching around the aspects?
Check the next video
can anyone tell if it has a build link
How about the aspect of torment to super charge essence regen?
Boi o boi bone spirit another great skill :3
I wonder how this armor will pair for blood lance build ?
Once you finish optimizing this build will you be adding it as a new name/build to Maxroll or just updating the Bone Spirit build?
This will be a Bone Spirit variant
Awesome. Can’t wait!
you're the reason why i'm playing necro on season 1 =p
And after season the Hearts are gone. And the items useless.
Inaccurate, this build already functioned in preseason.
Have you a Video from preseason ? Ty
Why do we need ultimate shadow? Just for the extra stun procs? I feel like that could easily be removed to make room for the other aspects
Helps to generate barrier much faster and additional lucky hit chances for corpse creation
Question since you use Maxroll so much:
Is there a way to take points out of the skill tree in the Build Planner?

right clicking removes points. Maybe you are trying to edit a planner that isn't yours? or maybe you're trying to remove a point that is required in order to unlock another skill you have selected?
You just right click the node. It follows the same logic as in game and you can't modify planners you didn't make
@@MacroBioBoi Hmm, that's odd. It is a planner I made but right clicking just brings up the standard little menu for me.
May I ask what does lucky hit chance do in this build? Is it to reduce bonestorm and bloodmist CD?
And spawn corpses, mostly.
would like to see this in NM 70+
He did a 62 , you can at least reach 80 + with this build .
I gotchu later today
