One tip if you aren’t aware of it if you go to accessibility settings you can put highlight enemies to white and it makes it really really easy to see when you are hovered over a corpse
This build is truly monstrous; it is incredibly enjoyable and effective! Thank you for all your tests and the excellent build proposals you make! Bravo to you
So I played a pretty Op and tanky blood build, but always wanted to use those uniques to build other spec... thanks for taking your time and gold to do it for us
This is a pretty great guide! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go DoT and kept having Bone support drop, but after seeing the potential, I think I'm going to stick with CE as a main build! Hadn't seen any real Shadow Necro, so thanks again!
I used Blight instead of bone storm. Blight increases the damage of CE. Multiple miasmas do stack damage, but do not create more ticks, so Blight helps proc more shadowblight and related aspects and has more uptime than bone storm. Blight aspect can work in conjunction with tendrils to bring everything into 1 spot. I tried a lot of things when I was shadow CE. Maybe shadow bone storm would be better than decrep.
I think they do create more ticks, at least from testing it with aspect of disobedience i was getting two stacks for two corpse pools despite it showing one number
I wrote a comment on your previous video few minutes ago lol... Was saying i dont like blood orbs so im using different stuff. I actually run the same build since week 1 and it's so good! Keep it up 😅 The only think i dont agree on is glyphs. Using Scourge, Darkness, the curse one, the one that gives damage without minions and then maybe close damage is better imho, you get more damage that way while having the same paragon boards as it is right now
Will it keep spamming it until all nearby corpse within range are blown up or until you move? If so that’s huge. Not really annoying but having to hold the skill button and then move the mouse is a little tedious for me.
Nice I swamped Decrepify and Blood Mist with Minions with cold cast and Bone Spear for enhanced offensive… I find the Bone Storm is good enough for me to get out trouble at lvl 70 for now
Bind corpse explosion to your thumb button on mouse... Hold it down and hover over corpses.... It's constant DPS.... You don't have to click you just hover over the corpses...
I am using iron maiden instead of tendril, plus the aspect more shadow damage with the 2 curses. I feel it is safer to regain some life with iron maiden.
I have a very similar build and I feel a lot tankier and stronger, you should try the blood orb, because when you are in blood mist you can pick up the blood orbs and regain your health, but at the same time I do not have reap, but I have sever which crits multiply when minions are affected by shadow dmg. Give it a try!
Dude after watching the video there something to try if bloodmist activates the unique weapon then you don’t really need crops explosion on the bar and change it with sever to betting single target bosses
The reason why im recommending sever is that until yesterday it was doing 280 k with my set up if it crits which with corps tundrels slow stun vulnerable i got max 600 k
The build can level without issue without any of the uniques. Slower for leveling, but I didn't get any unique until 76, finally got the gloves. Without any uniques I was able to clear up to 41 nightmare no issues
Last time i enjoyed a build such as this it was nerfed promptly. I am lvl 66 killing lvl 72 bosses in helltide solo with half the pieces and talents recommended!!
Do you know the answer to the following theory: Using Black River means I have fewer, larger, more potent BCE's. This means less damage ticks compared to not using Black River. This means less Lucky Hit for new corpses and less Shadowblight proc). This is not me saying this, I am quoting. On paper, though, this would seem correct?? I am using B.River myself, just switched to it in fact, and do I feel stronger anecdotally, but really not sure. Seems BCE ticks are way bigger but not sure about how Shadowblight is doing). Any thoughts? Thank you.
Been running this build myself for a few days now been enjoying it until I get better gear for bonespear. Have the gloves but no black river 😢 but it still works more than fine.
Honestly my corpses seem like they are dissappearing as soon as they drop something is buggy with them. Also i think black river is useing more then 4 corpses but.
Please tell me.. where did you get Black river from ? iam farming it since weeks and never seen it, i almost gave up with my shadow build cuz iam not finding that piece..
I thought you couldn’t really get critical strikes with damage over time abilities covering the ground with corpse explosion? I have been using this build with minions. Liked it too
Hey 👋. What i can tell you about shadow blight he can just change the curse to sever hell be able to do good dmg to single target but its gonna need some crit chance
@@Luxthos well i think there is a mistake. with black river u cast ce and it consumes for example 4 corpses. it does 120ish% more dmg and 4x bigger radius. But i tested it and casting 4x single ce will do more dmg, more ticks, more shadowblight and whats really really good is, 4x more chance for lucky hit.
I'll be honest, I haven't seen Naecobon's build and wasn't even aware of someone clearing Tier 100, but congratulations to them, big victory! This is a very popular build that a lot of people have made multiple variants of.
Yeah, seen multiple creators dropping videos after the reddit post a week back with no credit. The timing is too convenient and would like to see credit but I doubt the man cares, and it gets more people to progress further so its whatever.
Question: You have Howl from Below as an equipment piece on your D4 build website that turns the corpse explosion into a volatile skeleton but you don't seem to be using it here. Is that on purpose? how much does it affect dmg?
Im running Osseus Gale in my version which focuses MAINLY on Shadowblight. I moved away from my Black River coz i realized the true damage source is Shadowblight crits, and not the shadow DoTs from CE. All shadow DoTs from CE, Bonestorm, and Mist are contributing to proc Shadowblight. Moving away from Black River allows me to have a wand which in turn gives me more Lucky Hit chance, which means an almost 100% uptime on Blood Mist and even Bone Storm coz of Bone Storm’s +8 second duration with Osseus Gale. Im considering moving points from CE, but it’s comfortabe to keep at lv5 for now, against smaller squishier mob types. With this build i started running NMD 41-50 when i was just lv74 or 75. Damage is kinda terrible on singletargets, but easily cleans up mobs, in a very safe way.
@@stevemichael2617 Im not sure i agree with the single targets. I always struggle when it's a room with jus one elite/miniboss, as there are less starting targets to generate corpses from, meaning less CE, meaining even less corpses generated, meaning lesser overall DoT ticks to proc Shadowblight compared to when there is an initial group of monsters. Also, against a single target, there isnt enough "DoT tick targets" to keep proccing the cd reduction of Decrepify, which means i cant chain bone storms and blood mists effectively on to themselves.
Did but I was in a duo so necro and a rouge on torment and we won... Almost died a few times but with the dmg shields and bubbles and us basically when one was low hp the other would take over the attention of butcher
I run pure Shadow Necro build but I have mine set up different than this. But have faced butcher numerous times and win. Only times I have lost is when there are a bunch of other elites and I make a mistake in my movements.
Currently running a similar build on a lvl 60 Shadowmancer. Glad someone else caught on to the strength of blood mist with the blight aspects. I don't like the bonestorm consuming tho and just run it for survivability. Here's the build. ruclips.net/video/fCnZO2uk2pk/видео.html
I hate that I originally made a shadowblight focused build cause almost everyone was running bone and I wanted to have fun. Now all I see from build guides are "corpse shadowblight".
After watching part of you build gameplay ,feels like you should downgrade the lvl a bit. 10 stressful dungeons like this living on the edge and WT3 is making more sense to play this .
Incorrect. I've cleared Lilith and lol 100 ancient dungeons with the blightpool build. However he builds it wrong. Too many diffences to list here. . .
necro is the clunkiest champion in D4 ! He is a sloth compared to any other class.. Corpse explosion build is trash, because in most cases u can't locate copse or even cast on it when u fight the boss who stands on the corpses...
Sucks to be you, I don't have a problem with it. But you're definitely wrong on a corpse build being trash. I'm melting mobs with it in Nightmare and dungeon bosses rarely pose a threat.
I just hit lvl 51 with random gear no upgrades, blight, shadow corpses, golem, minions, and the skill that slow them for 40% On world 2. Only died to butcher. Game was so easy to 50.. But soon as I hit level 51 minions, are paper bags. I'm guessing now is when I need to add skills to gear that enhances my abilities.
One tip if you aren’t aware of it if you go to accessibility settings you can put highlight enemies to white and it makes it really really easy to see when you are hovered over a corpse
This build is truly monstrous; it is incredibly enjoyable and effective! Thank you for all your tests and the excellent build proposals you make! Bravo to you
Dude, I love you. I was just theorycrafting this very build. Thanks for doing the legwork for me lol. Looks awesome.
So I played a pretty Op and tanky blood build, but always wanted to use those uniques to build other spec... thanks for taking your time and gold to do it for us
This is a pretty great guide! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to go DoT and kept having Bone support drop, but after seeing the potential, I think I'm going to stick with CE as a main build! Hadn't seen any real Shadow Necro, so thanks again!
The ‘will it blend’ had me laughing haha.
Thought I’d comment a year later as this just changed my whole experience thank you 🙏
I used Blight instead of bone storm. Blight increases the damage of CE. Multiple miasmas do stack damage, but do not create more ticks, so Blight helps proc more shadowblight and related aspects and has more uptime than bone storm.

I think they do create more ticks, at least from testing it with aspect of disobedience i was getting two stacks for two corpse pools despite it showing one number
You want storm for DR and 100% barrier uptime in higher sigils
My necro is level 73; I’ve never seen a Black River drop.
Join the club and the frost boots
82 and never seen one either. Time to start doing obols on the one handed scythes.
I've seen 3. 😜
I’m 81 and have not seen one either
I'm 83 and I've never even seen the bone spear essence regen ring (something flesh..) and that's not even unique..
Man thats a FUN build
I wrote a comment on your previous video few minutes ago lol... Was saying i dont like blood orbs so im using different stuff. I actually run the same build since week 1 and it's so good!

Pro tip, if you click on the corpse explosion skill at the bottom it will automatically select the next corpse to explode without mouseing over it.
Will it keep spamming it until all nearby corpse within range are blown up or until you move? If so that’s huge. Not really annoying but having to hold the skill button and then move the mouse is a little tedious for me.
Love ur work
Nice I swamped Decrepify and Blood Mist with Minions with cold cast and Bone Spear for enhanced offensive… I find the Bone Storm is good enough for me to get out trouble at lvl 70 for now
I'm playing almost this build since a week, really fun
I think there is a little error in the d4build link with the "skeletal warriors" part
This build is great, I have levelled from 1 to 62 with Bone Spear but I like this one so much more.
Bind corpse explosion to your thumb button on mouse... Hold it down and hover over corpses.... It's constant DPS.... You don't have to click you just hover over the corpses...
@Luxthos were you aware of that?
I might try this, but instead of reap, use golem. And instead of black river and the sever boosts. Use bloodless and ice boots
at d4builds u put blood soaked aspect on offhand but it says it only can put on 1h 2h wep hands ring and amulet
I am using iron maiden instead of tendril, plus the aspect more shadow damage with the 2 curses. I feel it is safer to regain some life with iron maiden.
What I do too.
Do you prefer this over the other end game necromancer build you posted this week?
I have a very similar build and I feel a lot tankier and stronger, you should try the blood orb, because when you are in blood mist you can pick up the blood orbs and regain your health, but at the same time I do not have reap, but I have sever which crits multiply when minions are affected by shadow dmg. Give it a try!
Dude after watching the video there something to try if bloodmist activates the unique weapon then you don’t really need crops explosion on the bar and change it with sever to betting single target bosses
If i get that unique weapon i will get back to the shadowblight
The reason why im recommending sever is that until yesterday it was doing 280 k with my set up if it crits which with corps tundrels slow stun vulnerable i got max 600 k
I'm still using a bone spear/Bone shards build using corpse explosion blight. Does really well with a life on kill two handed scythe
The build can level without issue without any of the uniques. Slower for leveling, but I didn't get any unique until 76, finally got the gloves. Without any uniques I was able to clear up to 41 nightmare no issues
Any chance you could refresh this build so it incorporates latest game mechanics (malignant hearts, etc)?
Last time i enjoyed a build such as this it was nerfed promptly. I am lvl 66 killing lvl 72 bosses in helltide solo with half the pieces and talents recommended!!

Been running this build myself for a few days now been enjoying it until I get better gear for bonespear. Have the gloves but no black river 😢 but it still works more than fine.
Been playing this build since pre order release day. Mine is slightly different but all in all the same thing.
Why not use Decompose to get that corpse from the distance which would allow it to go in a bit safer?
Decompose takes 2.5 seconds standing still to generate a Corpse, it's probably even more dangerous!
Honestly my corpses seem like they are dissappearing as soon as they drop something is buggy with them. Also i think black river is useing more then 4 corpses but.
have you tried the aspect which increased the duration of bonestorm ? does it take away too many corpses?
All hail necro the best looking class in diablo4
But can you make it work prior to all the named items though to get started is the real question and if so what do you fill those slots with
do you use the reaper's at all? saw them on the skill tree
When I moved on to my next paragon board it is different than what you show. Mine has Puppeteer, Iron-clad, and cult leader. Any tips?
I think its better to use a 2nd sword. I think the black river is not working right with that glove.
How’s sword do you think best?
how did you manage to have only 6 points spent between the first 2 tiers? am i just not seeing where you spent the 2 others required?
I’m running a similar build but I am using iron golem and hulking monstrosity paragon board it feels really good.
Please tell me.. where did you get Black river from ? iam farming it since weeks and never seen it, i almost gave up with my shadow build cuz iam not finding that piece..
I thought you couldn’t really get critical strikes with damage over time abilities covering the ground with corpse explosion? I have been using this build with minions. Liked it too
Hi I’m Japanese. May I ask what are the stat priority for each equipment?
Hey 👋. What i can tell you about shadow blight he can just change the curse to sever hell be able to do good dmg to single target but its gonna need some crit chance
Does terror not only apply to my minios ? Or am i missunderstanding the skill? 😅
Oh to find a Black River, the instead I find TWO of the other unique scythe!!!
19:59 here you can see the downsides of this build.
Why does everyone waste a 3rd point in Bones Storm?
Black River does nothing with blighted CE, no damage increase, no radius increase. Just consumes extra corpses...
Most likely a bug that will get fixed. In the mean time, the additional Quality of Life of consuming more corpses is very nice.
@@Luxthos well i think there is a mistake. with black river u cast ce and it consumes for example 4 corpses. it does 120ish% more dmg and 4x bigger radius. But i tested it and casting 4x single ce will do more dmg, more ticks, more shadowblight and whats really really good is, 4x more chance for lucky hit.
I wish I knew how to edit and do videos I been doing this build my friends call it the fart build such a fun build but awesome video btw
I like the build but single target damage is missing
What should you use if you dont have black river?
Wand for lucky hit and high speed
I have to know. Why do you leave out the 's' at the end of a lot of plural words such as corpses, rolls, weapons, enemies, etc?
Because he's non-native? It's a common ESL mistake.
My main language is French, and in French we don't pronounce "S" at the end of pluralized words. This is something I'm still trying to improve on.
@@Luxthos Cool, just curious. Your English is great
Hold the button for bloodmist to activate it
So no credit or shoutout to naecobon the necro that cleared tier 100 and made this?
I'll be honest, I haven't seen Naecobon's build and wasn't even aware of someone clearing Tier 100, but congratulations to them, big victory! This is a very popular build that a lot of people have made multiple variants of.

It's look similar to Shadow Mist build... i think NOW shadow rulezz in Diablo as necro....
Have you faced the butcher with this build? If so how'd it go?

Alrhough DoT skills cannot crit, crit chance and damage are averaged into the damage of the DoT.
Love it
You could call it the Blight grinder build.
My int is over 1000, and can barley do tier 50. Guess its not that important???

So. Don't watch dude. Plus commentary. RUclipsr make video about demands ppl.
I hope he reads my comments 😂
Wow you're so cool and elite
Slightly irritated that shadow necros are becoming more common been running it since The beginning was uncommon and now it’s everywhere…😢
The bonenado
Good name!

Lmao

No offense, it’s really the necro’s fault, but man thats a slow slow pace.
Necromancer is the slowest Class of all right now. But we have the best Transmogs. So we win.
corpse fart
first!!
Very slow .
We hate you ppl. Turning everyone else's screen black so Noone can see anything
It's a pleasure
Happy to help you confront the need to cope. Cope.
Blame blizzard.
necro is the clunkiest champion in D4 ! He is a sloth compared to any other class.. Corpse explosion build is trash, because in most cases u can't locate copse or even cast on it when u fight the boss who stands on the corpses...
Sounds like a skill issue lol
Skill issue
That's why I play it with a controller
You can also click the skill on your bar and it auto targets corpses
Sucks to be you, I don't have a problem with it. But you're definitely wrong on a corpse build being trash. I'm melting mobs with it in Nightmare and dungeon bosses rarely pose a threat.
I just hit lvl 51 with random gear no upgrades, blight, shadow corpses, golem, minions, and the skill that slow them for 40%
