Diablo 4 S3 Midseason Black River + Bone Spear Necromancer Build for the Gauntlet

The Diablo 4 Season 3 Midseason Update is here, and it's time to get spooky with the Necromancer. The character receives a number of exciting updates to their move speed and vampiric abilities. Let's break them down and optimize your build for The Gauntlet so you can stand side by side with the ranks of Black River and Bone Spear masters.

 


Diablo 4 S3 Midseason Black River + Bone Spear Necromancer Build for the Gauntlet

 

New Found Speed: Death Reach Passive & Amulet Synergy

- Death Reach Passive - Previously gave damage to far away enemies now gives +4% +8% or +12% movement speed.

- Amulet Synergy - Use 3 additional ranks from your amulet with its innate +26% speed boost for a huge speed advantage!

 

Point Allocation: More Room For Speed

- Corpse Tendrils tradeoff - Your bot provides vuln, Decrepify provides slows. Move points from better CT into better DR.

- Grim Harvest adjustment - With how much resource we generate we don’t need all these points, so take them out for other skills.

 

Vampiric Resurgence: Metamorphosis & T-Bolts Will

- Boot Enchantment - Vampiric powers are back! Now dash always costs 50 resources.

- Resource Management - With such consistent resource gain Grim Harvest may not be as critical anymore which lets us further optimize our skills used/setup.

 

Defensive Prowess: Spiked Armor Armor Boost

Spiked Armor - Now provides a massive 15% armor increase negating need for more % armor on certain slots of gear.

Gauntlet Consideration - While it's necessary in high tier dungeons this may be overkill for tier 70 Gauntlet where an extra 8k armor is whatever.

 

Minion Mastery: Buffs & Hellband Commander Changes

Baseline Improvements - Minions get +20% dmg increase and increased health.

Hellband Commander = +60%, +75%, +90% on full investment.

 

Equipment Strategy: Adjusting for Efficiency

Lless Wall Reassessment - With bone storm uptime / crit chance bonuses, Lless wall is not needed.

Offensive Focus - Dropping defensive gear such as Juggernaut allows you to focus more on your damage stats such as Crit Chance and CDR.

 

The Nuclear Necromancer: Optimizing Bone Spears & Explosions

Oopi Essence Key Passive - Adds 40% crit mult to your Bone Spears.

Ring of Edge Master - Alternate between max resource casts and vampiric dashes for a guaranteed +20% dmg multiplier!

 

Testing the Waters: Live Stream Trials
