Build Requirements You are able to level with this build, however we would strongly recommend checking out the Necromancer Leveling guide for the smoothest experience going through the campaign before switching to this build.

You also have the option to simply sacrifice them and use Bone Storm to provide more damage output. On top of this, you’re able to chose whether or not you want to run with Melee Skeletons, as having minions tank enemies for you and/or your friends can be very helpful. Since our biggest source of damage comes from Bone Spear, we can provide legendary powers to help sustain more or less only casting the Bone Spears! Besides being reliable and consistent, this build guarantees the Vulnerable effect on enemies, making it a great option for group play.

In the endgame we will gain access to more legendary powers that takes this build to a whole new level. A very important note here is that the Blighted Corpse Explosion deals damage twice per second helping us generate an insane amount of corpses via Hewed Flesh, which is how we sustain the build.

We can easily regain our Essence at the same time as we are dealing respectable damage using Corpse Explosion, making the Bone Spear Necromancer a very consistent and reliable build. Bone Spear Necromancer is one of the smoothest builds to level a Necromancer with It performs just as well in the endgame content by providing high critical hits with Bone Spear in combination with an insane amount of corpses being generated.
