Necromancer has always been my favorite ever since diablo II. I love all the little details in this game tho. Like if you have 4-5 skeletons raised and walk slowly, your skeletons actually form a semi circle in front of you like your marching into battle. Cool detail.
I was literally about to comment on your last vid asking for this, thank you 🙏🙏🙏. Love your channel man, it's top 3 gaming stuff channel for me and probably a lot of others!
FYI a few tips for you or anyone else wanting play this build when the game goes live (or for the server slam this weekend if you are lucky enough to find the aspect) you do not need a core skill at all with this build. You can just leave it off your skill bar and put Blood Mist on right click instead. You can go with Death's Embrace passive node and focus on affixes that do more damage to close enemies which doesn't mesh well with the long ranged bone spear. You can also take Corpse Explosion off your bar completely. There is no point in casting it separately since you will be using it only with Blood Mist. This frees up two slots so you could add both curses if you wanted or a curse and an ultimate. I went with Bone Storm which was nice bonus damage on elites or bosses. Of course corpse explosion is getting a nerf so we'll see how much that impacts things but I suspect it won't be too bad. You can also take bone mages which use their own bodies to attack and choose the node where they leave a corpse behind when they die. This makes them easy to resummon (or adds more corpses for you to explode) and also gives you some more fortify.
I noticed that resource is quite useless for this build, I prefer to stay full of it and use the aspect that gives you up to 60% more damage when you are full
2:52 the ghastly blood mist effect does not proc all the three corpses on corpse explosion, rhe last one drops but blood mist simply dissipates before exploding it
hey! great vid mate im a beginner at diablo, i mean i've playd d2 in school ages ago.. but after playing the beta im definetly buying this game.. was waiting for it since they announced any tips for getting these aspects? are these random stuff or drops from specific dungeon or boss?
actually skeletal mages do have an option to where they generate more corpses if you take the bone mage option - they deal damage to themselves as they fight, so you can just pull them near where you are trying to explode all the corpses and they will kill themselves ez
I have that blood mist explosion aspect in my shield but the corpes exploses very slowly, like 1 per second, not like a machine gun showed on above gameplay. I wonder why , what am I doing wrong?
Necromancer was my go to for a first playthrough. Looking forward to trying this build. I think it would have been helpful to explain what a corpse was. I was assuming they were the skeletons but I guess those are minions?
@@julianlowrise4981 Thanks for explaining it to the noob. A couple of abilities in this vid dropped corpses too so I was just a little confused. Moreso when minions got mentioned as well.
its confusing to me why reap a darkness skill that are rather focused on range/slow keeping your distance and minion type builds is such a melee skill...other classes have very streamlined skill lines, the necro especially on darkness is a bit confusing...
I wonder if this will get nerfed. The legendary effect and not needing Corpse Explosion on the bar means you can potentially actually have 7 skills instead of 6. Unless there are similar things for other classes that are just not available in the beta this seems a bit unfair.
This build is very bad against beefy single target bosses like the current world boss, or the butcher since they move around a lot and there is just not enough corpses to keep up the explosions and maintain your reaper skellies to generate corpses for you at the same time.
@@utuwer I found it worked really well against bosses because there are so many easy passive ways on the tree to get corpses. I was really never out of them. Of course things may change after the damage nerf or the build may be less viable but at least in beta it made short work of all bosses I encountered including the final boss of the campaign we met. Unfortunately never ran into The Butcher the second beta weekend but I suspect he wouldn't have been a problem.
@@3nt3rtain no I was serious 😝 I only learned that there's a legendary aspect from another video that allows you to auto explode the corpses while in the form
@@jodyboles8208 Because it's broken as fuck lol. It allows the player to be immune to dmg while shitting out more dps than any other build for necromancer.
Annoying how the world boss doesn’t work with the ability that creates corpses more regularly for boss types. Unless it was a bug i just had zero form.
You should try out the whirlwind barbarian using the item skills that boost crit chance up to 40 and pull in enemies whilst using whirlwind. Mixed with shouts and ground stomp your unkillable
Seriously though, this is a trash mob killing build. Currently, Bone Spear is by far the best damage skill the Necro has. I played around with a build like this one, but once I went full Bone Spear build it wasn't even a comparison. No skellies, just your golem, and 2 shotting bosses. I do have the item that gives you Corpse Explosion on it, so you can still do what you see in this video to trash mobs.... no need to spec specifically for it as it's overkill and you will struggle vs Epic bosses and especially World Bosses.
They should probably need the shit out of CE. I wanna make an army like d2 and crush with iron maiden but unlike they say you can't play how you want. CE is like necessary.
I assumed that Corpse Explosion and/or Explosive Mist and Blood Mist would be nerfed so I made a Necro without using any of those abilities to see if it felt weaker and the class still felt really strong.
necro feels way up there in terms of damage output compared to every other class besides sorc... druid and barb desperately need to be retuned to do more damage because they suck
I was very dissapointed that I couldn't make another fire Druid. I was OP af in Diablo II. If they went that route again then he/she would be a fucking beast.
I tried the beta quickly, but after playing Elden Ring for ages this just feels super clunky. Almost like a phone game in terms of the sensitivity of the combat, timings, positioning, etc.
I also tried this build. It's insane you bomb everything back to hell, just by yourself, while being invulnerable and additionally you have a big army which also does a lot of damage or tanks for you. To be honest, it very quickly went very boring. It's just brain afk and not really fun, besides the first hour of playing it.
I played for about 3 hours and got bored relatively quickly of this game to a point where i feel like i was missing something. Everybody else seems to enjoy it a lot more than me and my friend.
@@droopybeagle usually nechromancer or sorcerer is always exactly my thing. It all sounded fun on paper, but idk, combat just didn‘t feel challenging or fun at all imo, maybe it was too early on in the game or it has to be one of the harder difficulties?
Год назад
@@pooPbutwhole the challenge starts usually very low in this kind of game and then dramatically increases later on
@@pooPbutwhole that’s fair enough, I can’t speak for the base difficulty I’ve only played the beta on world tier 2 difficulty. Necromancer still makes light work of everything though. For necro and sorc it feels much the same as d2 and d3 with some slight nuances
Seems like a lot of work. I will give you my CE build that requires 0 essence to kill anything and only requires two skills.. (three skills once you get to LVL 25) but zero essence and high damage and survivability. Message me if ya wanna try my build out I'll give you a layout. Cheers!
"hey here is a buildguide for a class that will get a nerf of at least 75% lol ... and we also dont know how much it will suck endgame, but anyway, waste your time with this and give me views"

after playing the open beta im 100% going to be buying this game it was so fun
It's a great series of games, just one thing to be Aware of is the seasons, have a look online at how diablo seasons work it's not for everyone.
It's meh.
Boring asf
@@davidh6652 it’s not necessary though, all cosmetic rewards if it’s not for you, you don’t need to do it. Doesn’t hurt you in any way
@@Joker-fx6mh yeah I understand, but just thought they should know, seasonal content isn't for everyone.

I cant find the Aspect of exploding mist anywhere. I looked at all 114 aspects in the codex and don't see it. Where do I find it?
I noticed that resource is quite useless for this build, I prefer to stay full of it and use the aspect that gives you up to 60% more damage when you are full
we used two Necros speced into corpse gen, and 1 necro speced to explode, crazy team synergy
One of the best betas I think I've played there are a few things that should be changed but it's on a good path
Played blood Necro myself, it's such a fun build to play and I made it easily to level 20 in the first day..
I can’t wait for the games release! Right now, I’m enjoying Diablo II it’s awesome!
I watch a couple of these build.imo it will be adjusted b4 live version of game .way op!!!!!!!!
Waiting for this one all week
This is my first diablo, had alot of fun with the beta
So you can actually have bone storm while using the bloodmist
Best OP build in the beta.
I thought consuming corpses only meant raising minions. Definitely will take those skills if I do a Corpse Explosion build again.
Where do you get the aspect
"There are many builds like it, but this one is mine."
Apparently I was pretty well making this build and didn't know it was a build thanks for the tips where I can put my stats I was just missing mist
2:52 the ghastly blood mist effect does not proc all the three corpses on corpse explosion, rhe last one drops but blood mist simply dissipates before exploding it
I love it. I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
You can no longer summon a skeleton ang golemn together, right?
Is corpse explosion considered a blood skill??
Needs more lightning conduit shrine gameplay footage to showcase its power. Kappa
I have grinded obols and gloves for 10s of hours and I cannot get that aspect to drop. Sad necro boy😢
hey! great vid mate
im a beginner at diablo, i mean i've playd d2 in school ages ago.. but after playing the beta im definetly buying this game.. was waiting for it since they announced
any tips for getting these aspects? are these random stuff or drops from specific dungeon or boss?
Where do we get that aspect of explosive mist
Love this build...played it and had a blast HOWEVER I 100% believe they will nerf this...when really they should just buff barbarian and druid
Anyone know why my corpse explosion might not be activating properly? I keep pressing the key but it won’t activate each time I use it.
Used over 1000 obols on scythes, never got the Blood Mist legendary Affix...
You are playing on PC with controller or there is a option to have health and mana placement on ps5?
I can’t believe this is just an Act 1, 25th level character. That’s insane.
yea wild people making guides for low levels calling it the strongestl.... lol
But where can you farm the ring ?
actually skeletal mages do have an option to where they generate more corpses if you take the bone mage option - they deal damage to themselves as they fight, so you can just pull them near where you are trying to explode all the corpses and they will kill themselves ez
Is this build still viable in the full game?
I have that blood mist explosion aspect in my shield but the corpes exploses very slowly, like 1 per second, not like a machine gun showed on above gameplay. I wonder why , what am I doing wrong?
Got nerfed
I still haven't figured out how to get blood mist explosion aspect
If you find out please let me know
I think it can be found on a ring from the purveyor.
I gambled for scythes and got it on a legendary
can we get a corpse counter on this video
Bone Splinters is also a fun basic skill to use with this build
This looks fun af. I can see dragging enemies into bodies and carpet bombing them.
corpse explosion be damned, just put points into everything that boosts your minions and watch the game melt
Necromancer was my go to for a first playthrough. Looking forward to trying this build. I think it would have been helpful to explain what a corpse was. I was assuming they were the skeletons but I guess those are minions?
When a mob dies from a necromancer it leaves behind a puddle of gore; a corpse.
@@julianlowrise4981 Thanks for explaining it to the noob. A couple of abilities in this vid dropped corpses too so I was just a little confused. Moreso when minions got mentioned as well.
How do you get the ring??
where do these items drop from?

Spent hours and hours farming obols to buy gloves, hoping I would get lucky enough to get blood mist aspect. But all I got is trash
I wonder if this will get nerfed.

Afaik it doesn't scale well for Endgame or MP dungeon bosses

I'm wondering how you corpse explode while in mist form 🤔
This comment is funny... I'm wondering how you become mist... oh, yeah... it's just a fantasy game! 🤪🤪🤪
@@3nt3rtain no I was serious 😝 I only learned that there's a legendary aspect from another video that allows you to auto explode the corpses while in the form
@xmixaplix all in good fun 🤣 I like taking things super literally as a comedic angle 😁👍🏼
Edit: Yes, gear is a game changer 🤣🤣🤣
@@3nt3rtain it's all good lol
Nice video
There is no way that Blood Mist aspect makes it to live lol
And why is that?
@@jodyboles8208 Because it's broken as fuck lol. It allows the player to be immune to dmg while shitting out more dps than any other build for necromancer.
This is a demo and doesn't reflect the final build. Corpse Explosion isn't good in the endgame or in a multiplayer setting
@Kevin haha and? We have a very small and very early part of the game. We have zero idea on how end game balance will be though 😆
@@sanguinetales Actually, is the damage a % of enemy health like in 2, or set values? If it's the latter it would be fine, yeah.
you dont need to have corpse explosion Assigned :) you can put some points, but no need to assign it :)
Annoying how the world boss doesn’t work with the ability that creates corpses more regularly for boss types.
Unless it was a bug i just had zero form.
Only complaint about the necro is the lame cartoony look of his skeletons looks out of place and reminds me of the d3 art style
Never liked legendary dependant builds, not so early in the game at least.
I didnt like how they added the glowing green colour inside the skeletons, it seems cartoonish similar to diablo 3.
Ice mages freeze and perma vuln enemies keeping them in place for no skill investment also bone mages make corpses
You should try out the whirlwind barbarian using the item skills that boost crit chance up to 40 and pull in enemies whilst using whirlwind. Mixed with shouts and ground stomp your unkillable
Am I the only 1 thinking that when you use mist it auto use corpse deto? Mine never did those even if I get the skills you mentioned
The skills are so straight forward and the beta is so easy you should probably quit life if you need these build guides
Seriously though, this is a trash mob killing build. Currently, Bone Spear is by far the best damage skill the Necro has.

everyone making 1 million videos on the SAME necro build ZzZZ....

I assumed that Corpse Explosion and/or Explosive Mist and Blood Mist would be nerfed so I made a Necro without using any of those abilities to see if it felt weaker and the class still felt really strong.
Remember to always use bone cage on worldboss
Colorful minions ala D3. Nope.
Yeah, so out of place. Hopefully they fix them.
Necro is busted as hell and will deservingly get the nerf bat lol
necro feels way up there in terms of damage output compared to every other class besides sorc... druid and barb desperately need to be retuned to do more damage because they suck

"hey here is a buildguide for a class that will get a nerf of at least 75% lol ... and we also dont know how much it will suck endgame, but anyway, waste your time with this and give me views"
This game is literal garbage in terms of balance, graphics + its rubber banding hell. Only gonna play it when its free on game pass.
What is the thumbnail? Is this the purple haired trans-rights / gender studies professor?
Nothing against you..... But I can tell how this build is gonna go, they really need to balance a lot of stuff before the release
Necro is so overtuned at least in these low levels and druid is so bad 🙁
100% certain this build is getting nerfed. Enjoy it while you can.
