This is such a true best bestest true truest best beasty overpowered nokill op build. Thank you so much for this op build I’ll make sure to name my children after you.
this build is ridiculously strong i struggled with the curator before and tried this build and beat him after my first try that’s worthy of a sub from me
Great build! I’m level 66, I substituted my main hand with a wand for luck and useong Fist of Fate which randomly increases damage up to 300% perfect roll I took off the bone storm shadow damage aspect and used the one that restores 5 essence for crowd control enemies. Chest piece I use blight aspect that pulls enemy’s in. Used your paragon setup and skills Highest crit iv seen was 2 million, my jaw dropped. Before your build I was struggling in torment but now I cheese threw it. Thank you!
Black River is a mistake! By running the black river, you lose the ability to double the value of any aspect. Secondly, the lucky hit of decrepify benifits tremendously by additional DoT ticks. If you use the black river, you consume up to 5 corpses to then creat just a single BCE. This reduces your damage tick potential from BCE to only 20% of what it could be. Sure, black river increases the damage of BCE by 130% per corpse consumed. You likely will not get the full 4 additional corpses on a regular basis. By the way the build plays, you typically only get 1 corpse explosion bonus for 130% damage increase. Again, running a non black river, you can apply an aspect and get double the bonus. Applying the shadowblight 10 stacks gives 120% damage, will then double to 240%, while moving that aspect to the weapon also allows you to move another aspect to the amulet..... higher damage potential without black river.
Been using Bloodless Scream instead of Black River. Darkness skills chill up to 40%, +40.5% darkness skill damage, +36% damage to chilled enemies. Control glyph also adds x10% damage to slowed or chilled which I’m doing both. Been my best weapon for like a week lol
@@toorcicefist8018 it was good for awhile, unfortunately the Bloodless Scream I had wasn’t super high item level and I ended up replacing it with something with higher damage. Switched back and forth for a bit to see what i liked better. One thing I missed was the healing. With bs I almost never had to use potions. I switched back when I got a max roll temerity to try and keep my barrier up at all times. The + damages are great but you are losing out on some other stuff
@@coryhart1381 I changed the build around a bit and have plenty of damage multipliers. I just started using a two hand sword that gives 18% to controlled and 67% to close and 69% to distant. So that's an average of 68% from two buckets. I'm using the aspect that increases bone storm up to 20 seconds because that will keep you alive in most situations and even pvp. I can wait out most of the defense buffs from other classes if I set myself up with some corpses or fight in the middle of mobs which creates the corpses I need. I'm at 97 but I've watched plenty of 100s get to the end of their defenses on barb and sorce even and then run. The build doesn't pack a punch but the damage over time does have advantage once you get it learned. You can leave low health enemies dying in pools of Darkness as you run to meet the next group. This works best if you have the aspect to prolong bone storm. Against Lillith though I think this build won't work. It's a good build for single player if you tweak it and play at your own pace. In a group they have to understand you may have a few seconds of cool down before running into that room of elites. Even with lucky hit you're pressed to take a 40 second cooldown down to nothing. I like the build for something different to play. It's similar to poison over time from D2 but I'd love to see poison return as a category of it's own some day. I was curious of damage you're seeing since I've changed my build a little. I feel it's about optimal and I know damage over time ticks dont show on the screen which doesn't represent the actual damage you do. I just wanted a comparison. I'm seeing low hundreds of thousands but no millions like in some bone spear builds. With damage over time it's difficult to tell what's happening.
I think I'm level 53, don't have very many levels in my Paragon tree, and I don't have any of this specific gear. I do have some of the aspects and affixes going and I'm STILL blasting through piles of mobs, albeit on wt3. This build is absolutely amazing and I'm glad I don't have to hunt for the glove uniques anymore 😅 Let's build is totally viable for a fresh 50 even if you don't have half the stuff this video recommends. I can't wait to get to higher levels to see this build really shine. Thanks for posting it!
Decent build here and even seems to be viable at lower paragon levels. Feels like one that’s also synergistic with group play - friend on mine plays rogue and the debuffs this gives really improves our clear times.
YES, I was doing the shadow-mist build and felt like it needed some better ST dmg so I swapped over to a wand with crit and put the grasping veins tendrils aspect and immediately noticed the dps skyrocket! With CDR on my Helm, CDR on Necklace, and double CDR on off hand Focus gets my Bloodmist down to like a 13 second CD. With this, I often have Bloodmist ready coming out of Bloodmist in large packs, and only a couple seconds off for single target encounters. Black River is a trap imo as each tick of each Blighted Corpse pool can adds to the Shadowblight stacks, and can also proc lucky hit so consuming 5 corpses for 1 pool feels mediocre AND it does not currently increase the pool size. If you don't take Black River, you can fit Howl From Below in which still feels nice for enemies that roam around, but getting extra crit and lucky hit on gloves feels real good. I also don't run Penitent Greaves and instead run the unstoppable movespeed aspect (but mainly since I don't have a good rolled version of Penitent Greaves) If one were able to fit the Void aspect, to make Blight vacuum mobs in, that would be nice, but at the end of the day, I'm grinding for a Doombringer and a Harlequin Crest.
Except wand is %chance and not %crit. Also, Dot cannot Crit. And tendrils aspect is a big loss compared to shadow pull bone prison. This was my build since the game launch. Now its everywhere but not frankly optimal. It miss the fully snapshot dot setup. I feel like it should it over a million DOT tick @ lv100 fully optimized gear/parangon with a high Ilv Unique weapon.
Made this build in order to be a strong tank pulling and gathering all the mobs in a party, while applying constantly vulnerability and being able to stay immobile while dealing with all this stuff. I also didn't want to use any core/basic skill.
Correct, Wands are %LuckyHit, but it can roll crit modifiers on it's regular affixes. Dots don't crit, but ShadowBlight CAN crit. The idea of the crit build is to get your Shadowblights hitting hard on big targets like bosses or tanky elites since you don't need to worry about regular trash mobs with either stat setup. Saying you played the build since launch doesn't really bode well since the build heavily requires full aspects and good stats from end game gear. Early game gear will absolutely tank it's dps. The Tendrils aspect is not a waste since you want the crit for Shadowblight, compared to the Shadow vacuum Bone Prison needing 2 aspects and a ability slot. Bone Prison version of the build allows you to drop blight from your bars, but requires more ability point investment since you want both blight and prison ranks for dmg and CDR. Also, I'm fairly certain NEcromancer dots don't snapshot since they are ground effect dots, and only application dots can snapshot and even if our dots CAN snapshot, there's no ability that would apply a buff that would affect snapshotting.
All jokes aside about the title of this vid lol, I did appreciate the last shadow damage build…thnx man. Def subscribed..plus you’re also a monster hunter fan! ++
I started using my own build and found this at rank 70. Whilst I dont have all the items, aspects etc, ive gotten it pretty close and by god does this build smash if you have corpses. The damage is just insane. Nice work!
I'm running a version of this build but focusing gear with additional ability lvls, and bonus luck, bonus crit hit/dmg. Crit chance with gear is 24%, crit damage is 180%, luck is 23%. Same choices in abilities but skipped blight and only took passives in core section. Maxed lvls in corpse abilities, and decrepify. I live in mist constantly, and am currently clearing tier 46 at lvl 78. All in all, shadow/mist is such a strong build for necro, no matter how you lean it, for dps or tanking, its solid.
Dude, I watched your last video and had all the gear. Hated that I could single target enemy well. And hated that howl sent them randomly and would waste all the corpse. ESP since you want to corral enemies. Perfect upgrade with gloves !
My DOT build doesn’t use corpse tendril buff. I just got the flat damage aspect for enemies affected by 2 curses, and then use the CC grouping aspect for blight.
@@EJI253 decrepify and Iron maiden. I don’t have a good aspect roll for the tendrils at the moment, so been using the aspect that gives 45% increased shadow damage vs enemies affected by both. Iron maiden makes it so I never run out of essence and it heals me. I don’t have to sink points into grim harvest.
Your content is really helpful for me as a Necromancer. However, I have feedback (as a game designer / mathematician) -- you need to be saying "15 percent more", not 15 times. 15 times is 1500%. 35 TIMES means instead of doing 1 damage, it does 35 damage. 35% (which is the accurate description) means instead of doing 1 damage, you deal 1.35 damage. Still cool, but very important to note! For example, at 4:10 (9% more***) damage Otherwise, great content!
I love you idea! And follow your ideas all the time. My only question to this is why not use sapphires for crit damage because everything will be crowd controlled all the time? Wouldn’t that help the crits you are leaning more into?
One thing i dont like about this game is the fact there is a meta. You should be able to make any build just as good with tinkering. Running Skelly, Decripify, army of the dead, CE, Decompise and blight. I want this for endgame, doing fine so far on lvl 58 though.
hey man, love your vids. I started following this new one, but ended up going back to the original build with the howl from below gloves. I found it was a little more versatile for me since the corpse explosion could summon volatile skeletons. I'm still following your crit changes but I dont have the extra tendril dmg (which is pretty significant). I should mention that the gloves are the only unique i have and im still only level 74 so the paragon board isnt fully built out. Either way.. both builds are fantastic!! Thanks for the share!
I’ve been running bone spear and explosion but now I’m hitting a wall in the 40s on campaign only against bosses, gonna have to give this a try for sure
Meanwhile minion builds continue to suffer from being junk at crit damage (assuming minions takes 30% crit rate and 30% crit damage stats, meaning crit is basically exponentially worse)
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you Sir. You're video was by far the one that convinced me to switch from Bone Spear build into this Infinite Mist build while I'm at lvl82. and it's quite fun at pushing NM dungeons. Please let us know if you got any further update for the build.
That [x] in brackets next to skills and aspects isnt "times" damage, it just means the bonus is multiplicative instead of additive. You arent doing "15 times" extra damage, its a 15% increase, stackinf multiplicatively with other bonuses.
The nice thing about the shadow mist build in general, is that it isn't even that gear dependent and as a result works better than most other builds while youre still leveling/gearing.
Ah, I've only seen creator making labelled "Endgame" videos for this style build and been unsure if there's a leveling version I could use to learn the playstyle along with trying to all of the components needed to maximize it.
Literally been trying to make your last build work for a few days, but i ended up with a build extremely similar to this. It's especially great for levelers. :)
Been running this build for like a week or so…still don’t have any of the uniques but I’m surprised you ditched howl from below. It just seems like it would be so good in those moments where you have distant and/or fast moving enemies
@@VikingsNeverDie Yes, you can enter there with any character. Its just that by completing the dungeon you get Aspect which is for "Druid" in this case. But the most important is that the loot dropped by monsters will be yours, I mean for Necro :)
Sadly there won't be any build for me that sarcifices my minions. I hope they get buffed in the future. A Necro without his Minions just doesnt feel right for me
Just a thought but if you consistently have bone storm up and you’re using the shielding storm aspect wouldn’t it make more sense to just have the conceited aspect on? You gain up to 25% increased damage while you have a barrier active and that’s guaranteed consistent damage vs critical strike and since this build hinges on melting targets as opposed to burst dmg this seems like a better way to go without having to stack a ton of critical strike
I tried this build and it was not very good for me. Im sure it's me as i wasn't completely geared out, but i was losing health so quick and my attacks weren't really doing anything. Ill have to try this one out again later when i have better gear. Currently lvl 62
Just switched to this from Blood surge summoner. Tanked the Butcher in t3 no worries (in Mist actually). Damn it was awesome. Thank you. Fresh meat this Butcher!
You should give Naecabon credit for this entire crit revision to the build. ruclips.net/video/o6efwgbGpRQ/видео.html Also, Penitent greaves are total bait. The Sever boots are better as they give DR and LHC but still losing that aspect is brutal in this build. You need unstoppable so you can control your character during blood mist and not get stuck without being able to pass through them. If you don´t run might, you can run sacrifice, its superior than conditional damage (If using a rare Crit/Vuln/Int ) rare wand.
I appreciate your update and love this build I am still having an issue getting the 25 for Dex for Territorial because the bottom left +7 doesn't seem to still be in the effect area for the glyph.
Black River only enhances CE damage, but i think we really dont need it anymore as it's just a bigger number mostly for mobs. I much prefer the Wand route, which has innate +Lucky Chance% which is what makes the build ridiculously good. Also, CE ticks dont crit at all, as well as the other DoT effects, but the Shadowblight procs can crit, and that's what makes the build work. So in my opinion, Shadowblight is what we need to focus the damage on, not CE. Im not saying CR or Black River is bad, im saying there is another option to deal damage, that potentially synergizes much better than Black River's CE damage.
@@MajorCanada It's confirmed that Shadowblight procs are single hit procs, just happening depending on how many times it procs, which can be a lot. It isnt a DoT effect at all, and it has been confirmed to crit.
Can we talk about Black River? It says Corpse Explosion consumes "Up to" 4 additional corpses around the initial corpses. So if there is only one corpse, it will not proc the increased damage by the weapon? It needs at least 2 corpses minimum for you to get the bonus? If so, would it be getting to the max damage bonus of 4 corpses? I mean, are we producing corpses faster than we are consuming them? The explosions are pretty fast, I'm thinking it's blowing as soon as it spawns so 5 corpses at the same time is kinda impossible unless you intentionally avoid exploding them until you get around 5 corpses in the ground. I think this Unique needs a rework or something.
Love your videos, seen loads, but it needs to be mentioned that the grey [x] isn't TIMES, as in a numerical multiplier, it's simply the letter x, indicating there is hidden info, usually just the min-max ranges of that percentage.
I'm confused on which necro build is considered the best. I have seen many videos and watched the damage scales. I am currently a Bone spear bone storm build focused on high crit and vulnerable scales. Soloing tier 50 nightmares at lvl 80 is very easy and simple. So im curious will this shadow build clear tier 50 dungeons just as easy ? Is shadow considered alpha over the bone build ?
I had an idea for a build like this but instead, using blood surge and the lucky hit on the fortify for blood abilities, and using the cdr boots for corpse explosion and not using it except popping corpses with mist with decrpify and cdr, you pop the corpses whenever you need more essence but the cdr should make mist p all the time. extend the time of bone storm and put the points in the bone ability that reduces cdr on bone abilities by 1.5seconds per 100 essence. which could keep bone storm up almost continuously. so both curses, tendrils and bone prison. blood surge and mist. prio atk speed/crit/overpower and you shotgun blood surge, while having mist to avoid dmg and bone to add to crit all the time. is also atk speed when core abilities crit that massively increase the atk speed for blood surge.
This is a good theory. It doesn’t work well at all because essence on blood builds is a huge issue. I did blood the entire time and switched to this build and it completely changes how insanely good the character can be. Blood surge is good and the synergy you’re talking about seems logical but your essence return is going to be dog shot making blood surge useless since you can’t spam it.
@@BEEAZY908 Unfortunately while doing Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons I'm incredibly squishy and my damage is mediocre at best. I'm getting carried by my druid buddy for the most part.
Thanks for the video! Wondering what's the point of going crit chance/crit dam when Damage Over Time cannot crit, and that's the biggest part of the damage of this build? As Blighted Corpse Explosion converts the explosion damage to a DoT. The only thing that can Crit is the Blood Mist damage (not so important) and the Bonestorm damage. I guess a point could be made for Bonestorm, but I believe it's not that big of a deal increasing the damage of Bonestorm.
Yh pretty much same stuff im still building my necro with the original one instead of crit since you can just spam and cc/slow everyone to make then stay in the DoT corspes
the shadowblight damage is a static damage that triggers each time darkness damage hits 10 times. Its not actually a DoT, its just triggered easily by DoT's. Therefore it can crit, and with Aspect of Decay that ramps it and then adding crit + vuln + Blighted Aspect 180%x dmg boost, it can get to very high numbers. Shadowblight damage is getting procced all the time with this build, so it's a worthwhile piece of damage to build into that can benefit from multiple damage buckets better than the rest of the build
So I have everything from this build and it hits extremely hard but one thing I'm curious about is how he imprinted with such high rolls, it feels like every time I take an aspect from a piece of gear it always reduces the properties. For example his imprinted amulet has the max 180% damage increase but mine always prints at a mid 70
If you’re using the imprints from the codex they will always be the lowest % roll for the aspect, you have to extract from other legendary items you pick up and then imprint those extracted aspects onto your legendary or rare gear
What am I missing with the need for high crit? What are you trying to crit with? Bone Storm? Additionally, I didn't feel like Black River increased CE damage or radius at all even with piles of corpses.
I'm doing wonderful with this build, but I'm struggling with bosses at the end of a dungeon that tends to move around a lot. There's this spider boss for instance that keeps running around spitting out acid and I struggle so much generating corpses and resource and then maintaining the boss on the miasma. Any advice for these kind of scenarios?
Haha yeah I melt most bosses but that spider boss is annoying because he moves too fast to take advantage of aoe and corpse explosion. I’d say the only thing you can really do is use blood mist with bone storm for mobility and dmg then use corpse explosion for essence so you can spam blight and make sure tendrils is constantly giving vulnerable This build was never really meant for single target damage even though I feel like I melt most bosses but yeah that spider is a fucker you have to just roll your eyes and chase him around. I don’t have the two uniques you need for this build tho. I feel like if you have howl from below and black river it would completely solve the issues with this boss. The bomb skellies are nukes that will chase down the boss. I mean I don’t actually know because like I said I dont have them but it seems like that would be the case
I’m surprised you’re not using the Abyssal glyph at any point. Is it because the ones you chose are essentially boosting multiplicative vs additive bonuses?
I'm still working on my personal dot but Idt the distance or near enemy stats should be invested in as CE is your bread and butter and the enemy distance will vary better of getting more vulnerable or dot or darkness or critical since your doing some bone
Yeah I don’t think damage to distant enemies makes any sense. You’re relying on so much CC and you’re constantly inside the pocket of enemies and taking advantage of bonuses from near enemies. I don’t get that change at all it makes no sense
@Ragegamingvideos I followed the build to the T, minus a few paragon points (I'm lvl 80), but the single target 1 v 1 elites and bosses is still dog water (Nightmare 40).
I dont understand how you have the control glyph secondary activated when it shows you only have 30intelligence purchased but somehow yours is calculated at 40.
Been experimenting quite a bit with my Necro, been running full blood build but it's been slacking off, especially against single target strong enemys and bosses. Still figuring out the best build for me perosnally, I will try out the combination of skills here definitely :)
@@archillestalens6805 @jacc4322 Been running this corpse and darkness build for a bid and it's still pretty strong for lvl45 and quite fun too, clears all mobs and elites very easily but bosses still take some time and effort, since I don't have access to the different paragons yet. Also becasue I have to rely on rng to spawn corpses or I just have the ones spawned by blood mist in 1vs1s. I saw what a full bone spear build can do, it's looks really stupid tbh, just 1 or 2 spears and literally EVERYTHING DIES including butchers.....I feel like this build is kinda boring but I will probably settle with that if I can make it work, most of my legendarys have bone spear aspects as well, like the game wants to tell me something :D
For the gloves aspect its not just 20% max, i have 3 peices of gear witht the same asepct ranging from 18-30% base crit chance with 90-96% base , if youve seen one iwth higher %'s lmk im curios whats the max someones found
I thought DOT like blight and corpse explosion couldn't crit, need to look into this. Oh and isn't the sacrifice bonus on reaper just some additive one instead of multiplicative ? (if so it's really bad)
Also kind of funny when I watched your first video I was completely confused as to how you missed amplify damage lol. The build relies on always having enemies cursed it seems like a must have and 1 point in necrotic carapace had me confused because you don’t rely on fortified for dmg in this build and youre already invulnerable or shielded for a majority of the time. Just made me laugh because when I watched your previous one I thought I was crazy and missing something. Thanks again for breaking down the build. Looking forward to more updates when the big patch comes out.
Decrepify provides the slow needed by the Control glyph (its slow Or chill), and you always want to use the curse for CDR so you dont need to chill. The unique boots provide extra damage for chill and you'll always be running over enemies which will chill them anyways, therefore the 2H unique is kinda pointless (this build doesnt need the essence generation it also provides)
is the build playable if i dont have the explosive mist and ultimate shadow aspects yet? been trying to farm and havent seen one lego with it yet :/, i wanna swap now from sever/ce but dont want to waste gold if its not feasible
couldnt you switch the aspect to another gear piece to have both it and howl at the same time pretty sure ive gotten that aspect on several other gear pieces
The newly discovered best Necro build but now with INSANE single target damage too, how are you liking it?
See the Build Here: moba.lol/3ph13Bn
This is such a true best bestest true truest best beasty overpowered nokill op build. Thank you so much for this op build I’ll make sure to name my children after you.
Is it high damage on single target though? it feels like it struggles a lot on 1v1 high level fights, and god forbid they have lifesteal.
Very good upgrade on this build 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽… will u make a pvp nerco build ???

Best most just copy and paste. They actually don't know themselves.

With CDR on my Helm, CDR on Necklace, and double CDR on off hand Focus gets my Bloodmist down to like a 13 second CD. With this, I often have Bloodmist ready coming out of Bloodmist in large packs, and only a couple seconds off for single target encounters.
Black River is a trap imo as each tick of each Blighted Corpse pool can adds to the Shadowblight stacks, and can also proc lucky hit so consuming 5 corpses for 1 pool feels mediocre AND it does not currently increase the pool size.
If you don't take Black River, you can fit Howl From Below in which still feels nice for enemies that roam around, but getting extra crit and lucky hit on gloves feels real good.
I also don't run Penitent Greaves and instead run the unstoppable movespeed aspect (but mainly since I don't have a good rolled version of Penitent Greaves)
If one were able to fit the Void aspect, to make Blight vacuum mobs in, that would be nice, but at the end of the day, I'm grinding for a Doombringer and a Harlequin Crest.

The Tendrils aspect is not a waste since you want the crit for Shadowblight, compared to the Shadow vacuum Bone Prison needing 2 aspects and a ability slot.
Bone Prison version of the build allows you to drop blight from your bars, but requires more ability point investment since you want both blight and prison ranks for dmg and CDR.
Also, I'm fairly certain NEcromancer dots don't snapshot since they are ground effect dots, and only application dots can snapshot and even if our dots CAN snapshot, there's no ability that would apply a buff that would affect snapshotting.
How come your second board is different from mines the way you have them placed I rotated them all around and they don’t look like yours
All jokes aside about the title of this vid lol, I did appreciate the last shadow damage build…thnx man. Def subscribed..plus you’re also a monster hunter fan! ++
I started using my own build and found this at rank 70. Whilst I dont have all the items, aspects etc, ive gotten it pretty close and by god does this build smash if you have corpses. The damage is just insane. Nice work!
Should give Naecobon a shout out or credit for the idea as he was really the first one to bring this build up.
Yes, they should give credit.
I've been waiting to hear it this whole time 🤷♂️ this guy is taking the credit I guess
It's hilarious how he said he came up with it.
Yeah... I guess it's a little different with blight but yeah the premis is the same
even copied the whole paragon board -_-
woah a new New truly the best build for necromancer , i’ll wait 2 days for the next ultimate broken build
I'm running a version of this build but focusing gear with additional ability lvls, and bonus luck, bonus crit hit/dmg. Crit chance with gear is 24%, crit damage is 180%, luck is 23%. Same choices in abilities but skipped blight and only took passives in core section. Maxed lvls in corpse abilities, and decrepify. I live in mist constantly, and am currently clearing tier 46 at lvl 78. All in all, shadow/mist is such a strong build for necro, no matter how you lean it, for dps or tanking, its solid.
Dude, I watched your last video and had all the gear. Hated that I could single target enemy well. And hated that howl sent them randomly and would waste all the corpse. ESP since you want to corral enemies. Perfect upgrade with gloves !
My DOT build doesn’t use corpse tendril buff. I just got the flat damage aspect for enemies affected by 2 curses, and then use the CC grouping aspect for blight.
Vulnerable damage it’s insane
Vulnerable is extremely useful and I don’t get what your second curse is.
@@EJI253 decrepify and Iron maiden. I don’t have a good aspect roll for the tendrils at the moment, so been using the aspect that gives 45% increased shadow damage vs enemies affected by both. Iron maiden makes it so I never run out of essence and it heals me. I don’t have to sink points into grim harvest.
Your content is really helpful for me as a Necromancer. However, I have feedback (as a game designer / mathematician) -- you need to be saying "15 percent more", not 15 times. 15 times is 1500%.
35 TIMES means instead of doing 1 damage, it does 35 damage.
35% (which is the accurate description) means instead of doing 1 damage, you deal 1.35 damage. Still cool, but very important to note!
For example, at 4:10 (9% more***) damage
Otherwise, great content!
Thank god someone else noticed! I think it's just us.
This build is so much fun, just switched over to something similar yesterday. It doesn't hit as hard as bone spear but the survivability is insane!
I love you idea! And follow your ideas all the time. My only question to this is why not use sapphires for crit damage because everything will be crowd controlled all the time? Wouldn’t that help the crits you are leaning more into?
One thing i dont like about this game is the fact there is a meta.
You should be able to make any build just as good with tinkering. Running Skelly, Decripify, army of the dead, CE, Decompise and blight. I want this for endgame, doing fine so far on lvl 58 though.
hey man, love your vids. I started following this new one, but ended up going back to the original build with the howl from below gloves. I found it was a little more versatile for me since the corpse explosion could summon volatile skeletons. I'm still following your crit changes but I dont have the extra tendril dmg (which is pretty significant). I should mention that the gloves are the only unique i have and im still only level 74 so the paragon board isnt fully built out. Either way.. both builds are fantastic!! Thanks for the share!
Man cant wait for the new!! Best necromancer build next time and the time after that
Tysm, this build is so much better and more fun than the bone spear build i was running
I’ve been running bone spear and explosion but now I’m hitting a wall in the 40s on campaign only against bosses, gonna have to give this a try for sure
@@Dukedoee❤p
Meanwhile minion builds continue to suffer from being junk at crit damage (assuming minions takes 30% crit rate and 30% crit damage stats, meaning crit is basically exponentially worse)
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you Sir.
You're video was by far the one that convinced me to switch from Bone Spear build into this Infinite Mist build while I'm at lvl82. and it's quite fun at pushing NM dungeons.
Please let us know if you got any further update for the build.
I'm pretty low level, 38 and followed the stats application and this build kills and bet it will hammer as I level up and get more items, thanks!
This build is pretty horrible 1-50 imo. I played it throughout the story and struggled a lot
I was planning use a bone spear build but now I have more fun using a blood build. Thank you for your build video.
Bone spear is overplayed. You have made the right choice!
As someone thats played bone spear from 30-60, the DPS is crazy but your positioning has to be so precise not to die the build wears you out.
That [x] in brackets next to skills and aspects isnt "times" damage, it just means the bonus is multiplicative instead of additive.
You arent doing "15 times" extra damage, its a 15% increase, stackinf multiplicatively with other bonuses.
Using this build now. Need the unique 1 hand scythe for corpse explosion.
Works amazing with lots of people to AOE. But single target bosses are meh.
The nice thing about the shadow mist build in general, is that it isn't even that gear dependent and as a result works better than most other builds while youre still leveling/gearing.
Ah, I've only seen creator making labelled "Endgame" videos for this style build and been unsure if there's a leveling version I could use to learn the playstyle along with trying to all of the components needed to maximize it.
Literally been trying to make your last build work for a few days, but i ended up with a build extremely similar to this. It's especially great for levelers. :)
Been running this build for like a week or so…still don’t have any of the uniques but I’m surprised you ditched howl from below. It just seems like it would be so good in those moments where you have distant and/or fast moving enemies
Yeah didn't make sense tbh since blight and decrepify are on demand slows so the boots are kind of a hat on a hat for the glyph imo
It's been a week farming 5+ hours a day and still no Black River.
I noticed that good uniques for Necro including black river drop in the normal dungeons which are specific to druid and sorcerer.
@@ninjabb4 Care to elaborate a bit more?
@@VikingsNeverDie Simply enter dungeons which are for Druid only and finish them. Enemy's drop uniques there frequently.
@@ninjabb4 Which are the "druid only" dungeons? And can I get in with the Necro?
@@VikingsNeverDie Yes, you can enter there with any character. Its just that by completing the dungeon you get Aspect which is for "Druid" in this case. But the most important is that the loot dropped by monsters will be yours, I mean for Necro :)
You know what’s crazy I didn’t even notice this was different video I kept going to this video thinking it was the one from last week 😂
Damn, for a new Diablo player, currently level 15 Necro, this is confusing as hell lol. Hope i'll eventually understand as i progress
Sadly there won't be any build for me that sarcifices my minions. I hope they get buffed in the future. A Necro without his Minions just doesnt feel right for me
Just a thought but if you consistently have bone storm up and you’re using the shielding storm aspect wouldn’t it make more sense to just have the conceited aspect on? You gain up to 25% increased damage while you have a barrier active and that’s guaranteed consistent damage vs critical strike and since this build hinges on melting targets as opposed to burst dmg this seems like a better way to go without having to stack a ton of critical strike
Grasping is so much better because shadowblighy passive can crit
I tried this build and it was not very good for me. Im sure it's me as i wasn't completely geared out, but i was losing health so quick and my attacks weren't really doing anything. Ill have to try this one out again later when i have better gear. Currently lvl 62
Does the passive terror affect us? Cause the description says "these bonuses stck & apply to shadow dmg dealt by minions"
i've always felt like it applies to anything darkness skill related and will also apply to your minions
Just switched to this from Blood surge summoner. Tanked the Butcher in t3 no worries (in Mist actually). Damn it was awesome. Thank you. Fresh meat this Butcher!
You should give Naecabon credit for this entire crit revision to the build.
ruclips.net/video/o6efwgbGpRQ/видео.html
Also, Penitent greaves are total bait. The Sever boots are better as they give DR and LHC but still losing that aspect is brutal in this build. You need unstoppable so you can control your character during blood mist and not get stuck without being able to pass through them.
If you don´t run might, you can run sacrifice, its superior than conditional damage (If using a rare Crit/Vuln/Int ) rare wand.
I appreciate your update and love this build I am still having an issue getting the 25 for Dex for Territorial because the bottom left +7 doesn't seem to still be in the effect area for the glyph.
Bump ur glyph up to lvl 17 ;)
Black River only enhances CE damage, but i think we really dont need it anymore as it's just a bigger number mostly for mobs. I much prefer the Wand route, which has innate +Lucky Chance% which is what makes the build ridiculously good. Also, CE ticks dont crit at all, as well as the other DoT effects, but the Shadowblight procs can crit, and that's what makes the build work. So in my opinion, Shadowblight is what we need to focus the damage on, not CE. Im not saying CR or Black River is bad, im saying there is another option to deal damage, that potentially synergizes much better than Black River's CE damage.
@@MajorCanada It's confirmed that Shadowblight procs are single hit procs, just happening depending on how many times it procs, which can be a lot. It isnt a DoT effect at all, and it has been confirmed to crit.
Can we talk about Black River? It says Corpse Explosion consumes "Up to" 4 additional corpses around the initial corpses.
So if there is only one corpse, it will not proc the increased damage by the weapon?
It needs at least 2 corpses minimum for you to get the bonus?
If so, would it be getting to the max damage bonus of 4 corpses?
I mean, are we producing corpses faster than we are consuming them?
The explosions are pretty fast, I'm thinking it's blowing as soon as it spawns so 5 corpses at the same time is kinda impossible unless you intentionally avoid exploding them until you get around 5 corpses in the ground.
I think this Unique needs a rework or something.
How are you using Blight and explosion without a generator at all ? Nice build and video , liked and subscribed,
Not being able to produce a corpse on demand felt bad. I have over 40% lucky hit and not sure if that's just too low to use blight over reap.
Love your videos, seen loads, but it needs to be mentioned that the grey [x] isn't TIMES, as in a numerical multiplier, it's simply the letter x, indicating there is hidden info, usually just the min-max ranges of that percentage.
You are very wrong, guy.
the [x] and [+] are there to indicate whether the bonus is multiplicative or additive
any updates on this new build ?? =)
My pvp food.
Necro AKA “always late to the party bloke”
I'm confused on which necro build is considered the best. I have seen many videos and watched the damage scales. I am currently a Bone spear bone storm build focused on high crit and vulnerable scales. Soloing tier 50 nightmares at lvl 80 is very easy and simple. So im curious will this shadow build clear tier 50 dungeons just as easy ? Is shadow considered alpha over the bone build ?
What's the best way of farming the kit? Especially the scythe?
I had an idea for a build like this but instead, using blood surge and the lucky hit on the fortify for blood abilities, and using the cdr boots for corpse explosion and not using it except popping corpses with mist with decrpify and cdr, you pop the corpses whenever you need more essence but the cdr should make mist p all the time. extend the time of bone storm and put the points in the bone ability that reduces cdr on bone abilities by 1.5seconds per 100 essence. which could keep bone storm up almost continuously. so both curses, tendrils and bone prison. blood surge and mist. prio atk speed/crit/overpower and you shotgun blood surge, while having mist to avoid dmg and bone to add to crit all the time. is also atk speed when core abilities crit that massively increase the atk speed for blood surge.
This is a good theory. It doesn’t work well at all because essence on blood builds is a huge issue. I did blood the entire time and switched to this build and it completely changes how insanely good the character can be. Blood surge is good and the synergy you’re talking about seems logical but your essence return is going to be dog shot making blood surge useless since you can’t spam it.
Are there any builds for people who are just getting started and don't have all the paragon points and such?
Theres tons of leveling necro build, honestly any build will work while leveling.
@@BEEAZY908 Unfortunately while doing Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons I'm incredibly squishy and my damage is mediocre at best. I'm getting carried by my druid buddy for the most part.
Lemme know when you get an OP build with all minions included. Wish Blizzard treated Necro like they did Witch Doctor in D3.
Thanks for the video!
Wondering what's the point of going crit chance/crit dam when Damage Over Time cannot crit, and that's the biggest part of the damage of this build? As Blighted Corpse Explosion converts the explosion damage to a DoT. The only thing that can Crit is the Blood Mist damage (not so important) and the Bonestorm damage. I guess a point could be made for Bonestorm, but I believe it's not that big of a deal increasing the damage of Bonestorm.
Yh pretty much same stuff im still building my necro with the original one instead of crit since you can just spam and cc/slow everyone to make then stay in the DoT corspes
the shadowblight damage is a static damage that triggers each time darkness damage hits 10 times. Its not actually a DoT, its just triggered easily by DoT's. Therefore it can crit, and with Aspect of Decay that ramps it and then adding crit + vuln + Blighted Aspect 180%x dmg boost, it can get to very high numbers.
Shadowblight damage is getting procced all the time with this build, so it's a worthwhile piece of damage to build into that can benefit from multiple damage buckets better than the rest of the build
So I have everything from this build and it hits extremely hard but one thing I'm curious about is how he imprinted with such high rolls, it feels like every time I take an aspect from a piece of gear it always reduces the properties. For example his imprinted amulet has the max 180% damage increase but mine always prints at a mid 70
If you’re using the imprints from the codex they will always be the lowest % roll for the aspect, you have to extract from other legendary items you pick up and then imprint those extracted aspects onto your legendary or rare gear
What am I missing with the need for high crit? What are you trying to crit with? Bone Storm?
Additionally, I didn't feel like Black River increased CE damage or radius at all even with piles of corpses.
I'm doing wonderful with this build, but I'm struggling with bosses at the end of a dungeon that tends to move around a lot. There's this spider boss for instance that keeps running around spitting out acid and I struggle so much generating corpses and resource and then maintaining the boss on the miasma. Any advice for these kind of scenarios?
Haha yeah I melt most bosses but that spider boss is annoying because he moves too fast to take advantage of aoe and corpse explosion. I’d say the only thing you can really do is use blood mist with bone storm for mobility and dmg then use corpse explosion for essence so you can spam blight and make sure tendrils is constantly giving vulnerable
This build was never really meant for single target damage even though I feel like I melt most bosses but yeah that spider is a fucker you have to just roll your eyes and chase him around. I don’t have the two uniques you need for this build tho. I feel like if you have howl from below and black river it would completely solve the issues with this boss. The bomb skellies are nukes that will chase down the boss. I mean I don’t actually know because like I said I dont have them but it seems like that would be the case
Thoughts on using the shielding effect of temerity in the legs slot?
Whats next for the rest of the paragon if im above lvl 84 ?
sacrifical aspect is nice to use if you don't have black river
I’m surprised you’re not using the Abyssal glyph at any point. Is it because the ones you chose are essentially boosting multiplicative vs additive bonuses?
I'm still working on my personal dot but Idt the distance or near enemy stats should be invested in as CE is your bread and butter and the enemy distance will vary better of getting more vulnerable or dot or darkness or critical since your doing some bone
Yeah I don’t think damage to distant enemies makes any sense. You’re relying on so much CC and you’re constantly inside the pocket of enemies and taking advantage of bonuses from near enemies. I don’t get that change at all it makes no sense
Think you could take gear off when showing skill points? Thanks
Hey there! Thanks for the update! How do you trigger vulnerable? I don't seem to understand! Thanks in advance❤
he is doing it with corpse tedrils
He didn’t add the link for the build AGAIN.
Cry me a river😭
Yo kid chill and Mario he does add it it just takes alittle time to make the build on the website
I just find it funny, I’m not even making this build. Minion gang.
@@Ausar_The_Vile1 why even bother commenting then… keep ut negative shit to yourself thankyou
Hi again, Could you update this build after the new patch? See if anything worth changing/tweaking?
Thanks for posting this. Definitely flows way smoother than the other build. Can also hold its own against bosses. This vid earns a sub. Thanks again.
How do you pick up things and open things when you don’t have a basic attack slotted?
How does your control glyph on your second board have 40 intelligence in radius? If I copy your board exactly how it is I am missing 10 intelligence…
im trying to figure out the same thing
I feel like everything is best new or awesome new build at the moment😏
Would be real nice to get a build site with these details. Its a super pain to spec out based on a video walkthrough.
Its in the description
What do you mean its in the description and pinned comment?
@@RageGamingVideos cant make it any easier than that 😹😹
hey im confused on stand lone
dosent that mean u get bonus per minion? meaning useless for this build?
@Ragegamingvideos I followed the build to the T, minus a few paragon points (I'm lvl 80), but the single target 1 v 1 elites and bosses is still dog water (Nightmare 40).
Why not run Temerity on this build? It can do some insane perma-shield and healing in general.
So annoying calling for a nerf on the weakest character in the game dude.
How much play time did it take u to get all those paragon points?
OMG You're a bloody legend.
I dont understand how you have the control glyph secondary activated when it shows you only have 30intelligence purchased but somehow yours is calculated at 40.
The "I can't see shit" build
Also the "solo build cause no one wants your fart clouds to clog up their screen" 😅
Been experimenting quite a bit with my Necro, been running full blood build but it's been slacking off, especially against single target strong enemys and bosses. Still figuring out the best build for me perosnally, I will try out the combination of skills here definitely :)
Bone spear is goated atm.
bone spear. 100%
@@archillestalens6805 @jacc4322 Been running this corpse and darkness build for a bid and it's still pretty strong for lvl45 and quite fun too, clears all mobs and elites very easily but bosses still take some time and effort, since I don't have access to the different paragons yet. Also becasue I have to rely on rng to spawn corpses or I just have the ones spawned by blood mist in 1vs1s. I saw what a full bone spear build can do, it's looks really stupid tbh, just 1 or 2 spears and literally EVERYTHING DIES including butchers.....I feel like this build is kinda boring but I will probably settle with that if I can make it work, most of my legendarys have bone spear aspects as well, like the game wants to tell me something :D
does this build only work with the unique?
What's the style of that helmet it looks dope af
Is this strictly an end game build? Can you use this levelling?
Does blight crit? What does the crit chance go to? Does corpse explosion crit?
Does overpower damage crit? If not why would you run it on a blood surge build?
Overpowers can crit, yes.
@@CAiNiAC overpowers cannot crit at all
Critical hits can overpower

Stupid question, but is there a reason your wither board is different then mine? My legendary wither node is at the bottom right.
When you choose a New Board you can rotate it to optimize the attributes you get on your way
@@MrAxGro is there a way to rotate it after its been chosen?
@@jeffreyhouser7067reset the bpard
For the gloves aspect its not just 20% max, i have 3 peices of gear witht the same asepct ranging from 18-30% base crit chance with 90-96% base , if youve seen one iwth higher %'s lmk im curios whats the max someones found
I thought DOT like blight and corpse explosion couldn't crit, need to look into this.
Oh and isn't the sacrifice bonus on reaper just some additive one instead of multiplicative ? (if so it's really bad)
Are paragon boards different in PC? It looks totally different in PS5, the last 3 only the first one is the same
You can rotate the boards before you install them. Boards are probably the same, just installed in a different perspective.
Also kind of funny when I watched your first video I was completely confused as to how you missed amplify damage lol. The build relies on always having enemies cursed it seems like a must have and 1 point in necrotic carapace had me confused because you don’t rely on fortified for dmg in this build and youre already invulnerable or shielded for a majority of the time. Just made me laugh because when I watched your previous one I thought I was crazy and missing something. Thanks again for breaking down the build. Looking forward to more updates when the big patch comes out.
I just saw an in game notification that says dots dont crit soooo..... Prettty confused here
Should just make it a series called “Okay THIS is the New Best Necro Build - I Swear!”
Did you try the 2h unique that gives chill to darkness dmg? control glyph will love that.
Decrepify provides the slow needed by the Control glyph (its slow Or chill), and you always want to use the curse for CDR so you dont need to chill. The unique boots provide extra damage for chill and you'll always be running over enemies which will chill them anyways, therefore the 2H unique is kinda pointless (this build doesnt need the essence generation it also provides)
I feel like mine isn’t popping that same darkness cloud over my corpse explosions. Any idea why?
How do you have the glyph control maxed out if you only have 30 Int bought?
Where did u farm ur legendaries items? I m level 70 and i dont have anything of them
is the build playable if i dont have the explosive mist and ultimate shadow aspects yet? been trying to farm and havent seen one lego with it yet :/, i wanna swap now from sever/ce but dont want to waste gold if its not feasible
couldnt you switch the aspect to another gear piece to have both it and howl at the same time pretty sure ive gotten that aspect on several other gear pieces
