The Jesseth set can mitigate this need entirely, but will also ultimately remove the ability to add more DPS to the counter. The crux of this build, however, is the Army of the Dead - the Death Valley rune brings everyone to the middle of the AoE, allowing a massive pile-up of damage.Įnsuring that you’re keeping your summons active on the nearest enemy is vital for this build, however, which can invite a heft of micro-focused gameplay. Keep Command Skeletons and Revive on cooldown to keep your number of minions at 17, and you’re be nigh untouchable for T16 farming. This build is fantastic as it provides healthy survivability with passives, which increase in strength based on the number of minions active. There’s additional DPS if players can manage to do this themselves, perhaps opting for Trag’Oul’s Corroded Fang and an accompanying off-hand. Note the weapon and off-hand are also part of a set, which saves players from needing to constantly refocus their skeletons onto new targets. The main priority in building this is to buff your Army of the Dead first, minions second.

Rathma’s can be a quick farm with a Necromancer, but finding those high-level pieces in order to maximize the build can take quite a bit of time. This build can invoke visual clutter during grifts, but the feeling of endless power offers a most primal satisfaction that is worth sacrificing some visual fidelity for.Īs is tradition, we’re using a gear set and attempting to exploit the set bonuses to the best of our ability. Rathma’s unique set brings monstrous benefits befitting a Necromancer: permanent, unkillable summons reduce the Army of the Dead cooldown on hit while boosting its damage almost 2,000%. This Necromancer build amplifies that using both undead summons and the skill Army of the Dead. #2 - Rathma’s Army Necromancer buildĪny Necromancer worth their salt has the ability to summon skeletons from the ashes of the planet, bringing forth doom and carnage in their wake.

The passive skill Spreading Malediction only comes into play when we’re actively proccing curses against enemies, so if you’re eschewing the curses altogether, Swift Harvesting could be a solid secondary passive. If you’re feeling adventurous, Bone Armor could be dropped for a curse such as Frailty, but you’re effectively removing one of the very few defensive abilities on an already squishy class.
