The only thing I wish for the Necro was that summoning was an inherit skill and part of the class special characteristics. My biggest hope was that they had a special passive or special skill slot for summons. This way we wouldn’t be so limited as to whether to use minions or sacrifice personal power. I feel like the whole aspect of the Necro should be with summoning/using the dead and with few exceptions and plenty of compromise we can have a “decent” summoner that can run on low to mid nightmare dungeons at endgame. When I’m reality minions should be an add on to your build.
They do it like this so there's multiple build choices sacrifice mions for better crit stats and higher damage output. Look at the bone spear builds. With no kind of minions and they do such crazy damage. I do the minion build tho only cuz I think it's cool but I'm basically following this exact build. Trying a couple different things but after seeing this video I might change around a little bit and follow this. And then he needs to find a couple different aspects for his armors and amulets and his minions will do crazy damage like really crazy damage. So he's on his way to a very powerful build. There are other stronger builds out there for Necro but it all depends on how. U wanna play Necro. I get where ur coming from don't get me wrong but I'm glad they did Necro the way they did in D4 compared to D3 cuz the minions don't ever just die and. Gotta keep respawning them in. This way u constantly have minions when u first go into battle not like in D3 gotta kill have the mob and then raise ur minion army to help finish off the last bit of the mob then they die off again this way is so much better in D4 and I honestly think they focused alot more on the. Minions compared to D3 so alot of Necro fans are happy I know I am. But again it's all about how u wanna play the necro. I suggest just playing what u like and finding ways to make it better there's plenty of ways to make Necro Soooooo good. I'm around the same lvl as this guy and my minions are basically invincible and do way more damage then this guys but he has a smarter build to. Build up more essence and being. Able to constantly use just bone spear and with a different aspects which knocks all enemies into vulnerable state for a longer period plus the return splinters do like 300% more damage if it hits a enemy in vulnerable state is sooooo good that's what I'm using.
Surely you need to be running world4 +teir nightmare dungeons to see how well the minions build holds up. Any spec can destroy this level dungeon, teir 20+ makes the testing of builds way more interesting when your mid 50-60 levels.
I'm running a pure minion build, not the same as here but crushing T4 nightmares level 30+. I'm only 73, so fighting minions close to lvl 90 and still destroying. Biggest concern is getting one-shot, not my minions dying.
I don't care how under powered minion builds are. Having a little army to do my bidding is badass and I will shamelessly slow down my party playing Necro because of it.
first necromancer video with a proper ability view and walk through from the top to bottom. dont have all the ability points but just half of these abilities are OP thus far !!!!!
nice build, might give it a try! as for me currently i made my necro brutally tanky and maybe immortal? So the build i made is with skeletal reapers and i chose the ones to have a chance to form a corpse, next thing i used is a effect that lets my bone storm consume up to 8 corpses and extends the duration of my bone storm, and my bone storm also does shadow damage over time as well, i use decrepify i got from an item and i put it so i have a 15% chance to reduce my cooldowns and i maxed the passive Rapid Osiffication which reduces my cooldown by 1,5seconds on my bone skills for every 100 essence used, when used right and a lot of enemies im basically immortal and i can cast bone storm again after it expires. Im currently lvl 57, tried a tier14 dungeon and i couldn't be damaged at all in bone storm as i get a barrier and fortify.
Hi, just a quick question. i noticed that some of the stats on your weapons and armors have percentages like 20%[20-30%] etc. on my armors and weapons, it just displays the normal stats. am i missing something
Yes, there are plenty of ways: 1. Legendary item effects 2. Item stats 3. Unique item effects 4. Board game (Paragon lvl 50+) 5. Skills I've encountered instances of +minion attack speed in all of those instances
happy to see people make summoner work , however every summoner build you see has the exact same 3 summons meaning that the other ones are nearly unviable to play with on mid to high end game
Sadly minions can’t survive in T4 NM dungeons , I have good rolls on items + % minions life and they still dying , bone spear is the only option for higher level NM dungeons …there is a RUclipsr named Skull he is pushing lev 77 NM dungeon using bone spear build
I'm just starting in D4, never played the other Diablo series so it's all new to me. This class is high on my list. Is this build one I can play from the start or do I need to be 50+ to make it happen? Thanks Ven!!!!
I've kept all those pieces of gear you mentioned because I saw the value in each of their legendary stats... I just couldn't figure out how they piece together to make an insane Necro build! 😬 Great video! Thank you! Any build that makes light work of The Butcher is 💯 lol
Ok, so you are saying the Summoner build is good whilst playing in world tier 3 and not pushing Nightmare Dungeons? Once you're in the actual end game content with this build and tell me they are still good... Even with all the min maxing that I have tried, my level 96 Necro still can't keep them soggy wet noodles alive in high Nightmare push
thought all those videos were talking about end game , nm dungeons and stuff that you cant scale the minions enough that you have to be the main source, I know for one thing druid companions ARE really bad both in damage/survability but i think it just bugged
If you want a viable army build you need raise max mages and warriors too make it work and those only come off random drops so keep them if you see them
Coldbringers Aspect does not add to your essence regen. This was tested by @Macrobioboi along with other minion things. You would probably benefit more from buffing you damage or your minions with a multiplier lile aspect. Also why use golem to proc vulnerable when you have bonespear. To my first point the splintering aspect turns bone spear into a vulnerable machine
how dare you say that aspect is useless? (3:26), you can legit drop that blood mist as a defensive and play off of the blood orbs from that aspect alone. also, I'd say change that aspect in the helmet for something that will protect your healthy status rather than dmg mitigation, you should have plenty of blood orbs to heal with (even without blood mist). Another note, I'd advise that you put that +2 mage skellies aspect in your amulet (it will be 3 instead of 2 cos +50%) specially cos you're amulet aspect is "useless" for your build (that aspect is actually cracked) and you're going to benefit tremendously from the extra skellie mage casting blizzard (chest aspect) for you. Other than that you do you but I'd also suggest that if you rather follow the route of "staying healthy" as a means to survive, I'd recommend that you add something like Corpse Tendrils to the mix, It group enemies up, stuns them, applies vulnerability and would benefits from you being healthy cos your ring. The best "defence" is that you don't need to do anything about it imo.
Man, you have the perfect Aspect on your amulet for mínimos build. Just change the key to shadow and corpse explosion to shadow too. And you Will get 138% atack power ez. Melt wb
I been going the same steps, but i ain't picked up Decrepify yet, (still 32) I will though for sure, but the minions and everything i just destroy it all.. it's great!
In d2 golem + skellies would jump on him and You just watch. Here he is ignoring army and You have to run circles. Kinda meh. Seems like every character is more or less playing tank.
InSaNe WoRlD tIeR 3 DaMaGe. This is the equivalent of clearing wailing caverns and telling mythic raiders that your build is great and they have no idea how to talent/gear properly. Come back and apologize once you see how much damage/survivability is needed in NM tier 65+.
I enjoy watching your content on youtube even though I quit WoW 5 years ago, but to be honest I feel like the same 3-4 facial expressions have been getting a bit overused on your youtube thumbnails for a while now. I get that the "clickbaity" thumbnails are here to stay, but I just wish there was more variety(for yours and the viewers' sake). But then again I'm just a casual viewer voicing his own thoughts.
@@jameslowe971 that's funny, it feels like the game - i'm working through WT3 on Hardcore, come stop by the stream and I'll keep you updated as we progress.
Keep up the great work Venruki. Always have great content. What I mean is until level 70 you can get away with doing anything and it will still be good 😊

FYI, five of these aspects he is running are only obtainable via random drops. At L50, I have only one of them.

Been running slight variation of this build (close to Krips build) been really solid so far! Lvl 82
Could you possibly please explain how you use your rotation? Thank you

This build does not hold up in tier 4 . To bad because I love it.
I don't care how under powered minion builds are. Having a little army to do my bidding is badass and I will shamelessly slow down my party playing Necro because of it.
agreed 100%. it's just flatout fun.
What are the transmogs for your set? It's sick!
DO U HAVE ANY GUIDE FOR PARAGONS?
How do you get your chest armor? Is it an aspect that grants the bonus mages ? Or that specific legendary armor piece
If you put the +2 mages on your amulet it makes it +3 mages for even more resource generation :D
It does but i chose to use the amulet for a damage multiplier aspect. Grasping veins atm as i dont use golem in my version
Can anyone help how is he summoning ice from the air?? cannot find it on my build. Please someone get back to me!!!
How can you use both golem and skeleton at the same time?
what are those aspects and where to get them god dam it?

Is there a link to this build to look at everything in a browser?
Does this build works in Torment 80+?
Hi, just a quick question. i noticed that some of the stats on your weapons and armors have percentages like 20%[20-30%] etc. on my armors and weapons, it just displays the normal stats. am i missing something
It's a setting in the game options. Can't remember off the top of My head; think it's something like Advanced stats.
Options> Gameplay Tab> Advanced Tooltip Compare & Advance Tooltip Information . turn those 2 settings on :)
Where'd u get that Xmog? the SHoP?
so what about paragon points for this build? what are we aiming to get?
That's what I wanna know
paragon?
I love my Necromancer minion build, I use blight instead of bone spear tho tbh.
If you want to do torment 4 and nightmare dungeons. With higher Dps on the minion build. Check out the Necrapolis build and it’s mechanics.
You have a link for that?
Hey question, so besides the aspect "unyielding commanders aspect" is there any other ways to increase your minions attack speeds???
Yes, there are plenty of ways:
1. Legendary item effects
2. Item stats
3. Unique item effects
4. Board game (Paragon lvl 50+)
5. Skills
I've encountered instances of +minion attack speed in all of those instances
What world tier are you playing on???
happy to see people make summoner work , however every summoner build you see has the exact same 3 summons meaning that the other ones are nearly unviable to play with on mid to high end game
Ok mate try running a WT4 NM dungeon level 25. Let us know if its still viable.
I don't have a normal attack as I had to make room for bone storm.
Sadly minions can’t survive in T4 NM dungeons , I have good rolls on items + % minions life and they still dying , bone spear is the only option for higher level NM dungeons …there is a RUclipsr named Skull he is pushing lev 77 NM dungeon using bone spear build
Infimist shadow is another build for necro, and was the build used for the first necromancer that did tier 100 nightmare.
Mine are doing fine so far, have gone up to Tier 36 nightmare
Yooo how do u move if ur golem on left click?
I'm just starting in D4, never played the other Diablo series so it's all new to me. This class is high on my list. Is this build one I can play from the start or do I need to be 50+ to make it happen? Thanks Ven!!!!

im using similar.. I got lvl 100 hc.. once u get the unique ring will be 100% better and this build is fun..
Holy bungers thanks alot for that spec you just made necro fun. thanks alot
thought all those videos were talking about end game , nm dungeons and stuff
that you cant scale the minions enough that you have to be the main source,
I know for one thing druid companions ARE really bad both in damage/survability
but i think it just bugged
If you want a viable army build you need raise max mages and warriors too make it work and those only come off random drops so keep them if you see them
Finally a build not dependent on Mendeln
Try NMD T34 when you will be level 72 :) 15+ level difference, took me 30 mins to complete that dungeon with my necro
Also, summoner builds can "make it" but ppl need to think a little extra hard to make it work which leads to the idea that "it dosen't work"..
I’ve been playing this same build and about to swap it because it’s extremely piss poor compared to the other builds you can do with minions.
Is this build updated
I would love to see you make it work.
Lets see what happens at lvl 65-70 in tier 4,
How do you have so many skeletons? I only max out at 9…..
Some legendary gear can give you extra skeletons
this video saved necro for me. THANKS!!
Firm necromancer advocate and love my minions ! Great build my guy
Can we see paragon board? this build is ace
This is a lvl build so there's no paragon
Essence?? Expain?
Trying this out, i never dropped anything for Bone Spear build, but tons of minion gear dropped :) thanks for the upload
Coldbringers Aspect does not add to your essence regen. This was tested by @Macrobioboi along with other minion things.
You would probably benefit more from buffing you damage or your minions with a multiplier lile aspect.
Also why use golem to proc vulnerable when you have bonespear. To my first point the splintering aspect turns bone spear into a vulnerable machine
Bone spirit and shadow mist are good builds too
And they scale into high nm's, whereas minions fall off pretty quick.
Paragon ?
Don't worry when you hit T36 NM dungeons you will see why people complain about them dying all the time. I've hit a wall at T36 myself.
This is a good build for essence build up i should chamge mine around a little to follow this build ur on a good path tho to a way stronger build.
how dare you say that aspect is useless? (3:26), you can legit drop that blood mist as a defensive and play off of the blood orbs from that aspect alone. also, I'd say change that aspect in the helmet for something that will protect your healthy status rather than dmg mitigation, you should have plenty of blood orbs to heal with (even without blood mist).

they dont like that you have to upgrade your minions for your minion build huuuh
no offense, but Tier III... u can play nearly everything ;>
I'm level 80 using minions and nothing has really changed.
@mowaby
Share your build mate. I'm level 72 and get destroyed I. NM level 22 dungeons.
It’s hardcore so I’d rather not jump into tier 4 at that lvl anyways
Ah, my favorite class… The LAGromancer. 😅
In d2 golem + skellies would jump on him and You just watch. Here he is ignoring army and You have to run circles. Kinda meh. Seems like every character is more or less playing tank.
today i just saw a video that minion builds are not good.

for lvl IV they are ussles

thats not thorns summoner
Its really solid its just people want to see the 17m crits lol
