Within Diablo Immortal, your chosen class has the ability to tailor theirskills, gear, and gems to better tackle whatever content you wish to take on.Here, you will find a brief overview of a variety of builds for theNecromancer class to assist you in solo or group content.

The Necromancer class offers multiple viable builds, but their individualpower is relative to the task you are aiming to complete. The following guidewill help you decide which build you should choose for your specific in-gamegoals.

You should stick to this build for the duration of your leveling process— as you complete main quests and grind out the minor experience hurdlesthat unlock the next chapter of the story. Some deviation from this build isallowed as you experiment with the skills you unlock, but the choices made inthe guide are meant to maximize your speed, efficiency and overall power andwill get you to max level effortlessly.

You should choose the Necromancer Command Skeletons Solo Farming/BountiesBuild when your goal is to get your daily tasks done on your own — suchas the minor tasks from the Bounty board, the ShadowContracts, the Side Quest daily activity, or Monster Essence grindingfor Bestiary Page turn-ins. Whenin doubt, you can default to this build and expect reasonably good performanceout of your character. It is designed to fit most PvE content done by asoloing Necromancer, allowing you to crush your enemies while maintainingconsiderable speed — a decisive factor in effective farming.

While the build does not rely on any specific legendary powers, certainitems will greatly assist its performance over others. It focuses on theinnate summoner strengths of the Necromancer to deal the bulk of its damage,allowing for unrivaled single-target damage dealing, as well as competent AoEto supplement it.

You should choose the Necromancer Skeletal Mage Dungeon Build when yourgoal is to grind one of the various Dungeons in the game with a group.Note that grouping for Dungeons is not necessary on the Normal gamedifficulty (applicable as you level), but will be mandatory when you get to the Helldifficulties — pushing you to eventually try out this build.

The Skeletal Mage build is designed to tackle the vast majority of PvEcontent done by a Necromancer in a group — contributing withconsiderable single-target damage, as well as competent AoE to supplement it.The spec is very versatile and flexible according to your group's needs, andyou can easily scale up your damage output or your support capabilities asnecessary.

You should choose the Necromancer Command Golem Challenge Rift Build whenyour goal is to progress on the weekly Challenge Rift leaderboard —especially if you aim to do solo progression. The build can also be adapted togroup pushes of the Challenge Rift leaderboard, or you can adapt theGroup/Dungeon build outlined above with similar success.

Carefully balancing between survivability, single-target competence, andmassive AoE damage dealing, this build is meant to support the Necromancer inthe scaling difficulties of Challenge Rift attempts. It takes full advantageof the living shield of minions taking the brunt of the damage and monsterattention, while locking enemies away through deliberate Bone Wallusage, and maintaining considerable AoE DPS with Corpse Explosion.

You should choose the Necromancer Bone Armor Raid Build when your goal isto conquer content that pits you against (mostly) singular, hard-hitting, andhigh-health encounters. Your most common usecase will be the weekly Raid, butthe game features other tasks demanding similar endurance out of your build.In summation, the Necromancer Bone Armor Raid Build specializes in bosstakedowns for content like the Helliquary, Kion's Ordeal,and Path of Blood.

The build shifts its focus away from the usual utility enhancements offarming builds. Instead, it narrows its focus to Necromancer specialties likesingle-target damage, enemy control and — perhaps most importantly— group-wide protection.

You should choose the Necromancer Bone Spear PvP Build when your goal is toface off against other players in the (several) player-versus-player aspectsof Diablo Immortal. The most common case are the Battlegrounds, available intwo-hour windows each day, and the Vault raids, which can pit you againstother players on top of (trivial) PvE content. There is also the weekly ShadowWar, which pits Dark Clan against Dark Clan in a competition who will get tochallenge the current Immortals.

This build is molded by the needs of ranged combatants during PvP in DiabloImmortal, while taking advantage of the complete crowd control lockdownNecromancers are capable of. This build can alternate between a Bone Wall-centric crowd control devastator and an elusive,DoT-spreading, Bone Spikes-centric trickster with relative ease.

With the proper build equipped, you will minimize survivability struggleswhile maximizing your overall damage and movement speed — the tenets ofaction RPG character building.
