In this part of the video, the focus is on a Necromancer build. The build aims to maximize damage by consuming corpses, which provides a 12% damage increase for 4 seconds. This is achieved through skills and passives that generate additional corpses, such as skeletons, bone mages, and golems. Key aspects include “Aspect of Explosive Blood Mist” to trigger corpse explosions and “Blood Soaked Aspect” to improve movement speed and damage. The presenter notes the potential nerf to corpse-based damage and expresses uncertainty about the build’s top-tier viability following recent patches. Additionally, an alternative build that focuses on summoning a large army and enhancing their damage by decomposing enemies is mentioned.

In this part of the video, the focus is on setting up a necromancer build. The build uses one point in “Corpse Explosion” to trigger copters and deal 12 damage overall, enhancing minion damage. Additionally, it allocates three points each into “Skeleton Warrior Mastery” and “Skeleton Mage Mastery,” providing 45 damage and 45 life to minions, which is crucial for their survival. “Corpse Tendril” is used to group enemies and apply a stun debuff using summoned corpses. Due to being at level 20, some abilities like “Army of the Dead” and legendary aspects are not accessible.
For the Book of the Dead, the build uses “Skeleton Skirmishers” for an additional Warrior and “Bow Mages” for increased damage at the cost of their life. The “Bone Golem” is chosen for its ability to drop more corpses. Key legendary aspects include “The Aspect of Frenzy Dead” for increased minion attack speed and utility aspects that add extra skeleton warriors and mages. Defensive aspects help reduce damage taken when having more than seven minions.
Overall, the build aims to test the nerfing of minions and the relevance of the Book of the Dead after recent patches. The guide ultimately presents an AFK Thorn Necromancer build, focusing on passive minion management without active spellcasting.
