Diablo Immortal: Necromancer Build
What kind of class is this? The Necromancer, or in German Totenbeschwörer, is a very versatile class. Standard builds focus on damage, but the class is also a strong group support and can even take on tank roles thanks to its summons.
Although the summons are a significant part of the gameplay of the Necromancer, you are playing a class that maximizes damage from its primary attack. Your ultimate attack, which enhances the primary attacks, also spreads heavy damage across multiple enemies. Your corpse explosions also contribute significantly to the damage.
This build maximizes your damage potential with primary attacks and ensures that your strong “Area of Effect” skills deal damage to any enemy that gets too close.
In comparison to other classes, the Necromancer has less mobility and long cooldowns. You also need to pay close attention to the battlefield and your paths to fully exploit the damage potential with the enemies’ corpses.
If you’re still unsure which class suits you best, check out our class tier list for Diablo Immortal.
Necro Build: The Most Important Attributes
Here you will find the most important attributes for your equipment ranked:
- Intelligence – Increases damage
- Persistence – Increases armor penetration and armor
- Vitality – Gives you more life
- Willpower – Increases potential and resistance
- Strength – Does not provide bonuses to the Necro
For weapons and off-hand, you should choose the maximum damage first and then pay attention to the attributes.
Necro Build: Skills and Rotation
The following 4 skills deal the most damage with the build. However, keep in mind that most skills are additionally changed by legendary equipment:
- Spirit Fire (Primary Attack)
- Command Golem
- Bone Wall
- Corpse Explosion
- Command Skeletons
Rotation: Summon the Golem and pull enemies together with your movements. Use the Bone Wall to crowd enemies further. Activate the Golem ability a second time and let the behemoth jump into the crowd. Keep sending corpses into the air – this ability has virtually no cooldown.
To target specific enemies, send your skeletons. They are very good for dealing strong single-target damage. If you don’t have an enemy you want to target specifically, send your skeletons into the fighting pile without a target.
During your rotation, continuously fire your primary attack at everything that the target-seeking function identifies as a worthwhile victim. Stop your primary attack only when you need to move or when gathering new groups of enemies.
Necro Build: Legendary Equipment
For the 6 slots of legendary equipment, the following items provide you with great bonuses:
- Weapon: Desolatoria

The set pieces each have their own dungeon where you can grind for them:
