[S9] Set Necromancer Build

Intro

[Patch 4.0.1.4] [S9] Set Necromancer Build

Necromancer got a massive rework and a lot of buffs with the start of the Season 9, after have been completely useless the previous three seasons, and this has pulled him way to the top becoming one of the best classes in the game currently.

• easy to play, defensive safe gameplay (good range, tanky minions, high survivability…)
• high Wormhole potential ( WH600+ )
• season starter

• not cheap. endgame min-maxed item build requires the full set, bunch of rex and goh5 runes.
• popular class|build -> higher prices of his mandatory|highly_recommended items, such as the set.
• Some people find Necromancer’s gameplay|playstyle boring, in general.

[Ring] +5 to All Talents, +8 to Summon Frenzy
[Gloves] +5 to All Talents, +7 to Summon Frenzy
[Belt] +8 to Summon Mastery, +8 to Summon Frenzy

I did an oopsie ! 🙂 It seems … a mythical belt can not have more than 1 socket. My fault.

You may use some exp, mf items with sal runes for Inferno & wh farming. Look for mythical items with +%exp gain and sockets (for sal runes).

+% block chance

Runes

Try to reach 100%+ block chance. In Season 9 “one-shot protection” mechanic was removed.
You can block ( completely negate damage ) 4 hits in a row without taking any damage with 100% block chance and 4 charges of block.
1 charge restores every 5 secons in combat.
5 charges of block are restored every 5 seconds out of combat.

Relics

Recommended relics:

HeroLevel

Infinite Wisdom +%Energy

Ancient Power +%Poison Damage ( Elemental damage )

Runewords

NOT RECOMMENDED.
Will of Thanos Runeword item. It has the same problem that the Raise of the Dead has:
its hard to reach 100% block chance without sacrificing big chuncs of your potential dps, lack of sockets.
Will of Thanos Runeword has [ Master Summoner ] ability , that seems to allow you to summon an additional second Legion summon, but it doesn’t really do much. Same dps. Not worth it.
