Diablo 4 has a slightly complicated character leveling system, where a lot depends on the combination of skills, items, aspects and other points (paragon). At the same time, several different ways of character development can be implemented on one class. During the battle, the tactics of warfare and its effectiveness may depend on the chosen path of development. This will determine the speed of the battle with hostile creatures and the passage time.
It should be noted that the builds of characters can be different depending on the wishes of the player. At the same time, the pumping assembly in a universal form is suitable only for the initial complexity of the world. If the player has reached the opportunity to choose the 3rd level of the Nightmare world, then it is advisable to set up the character as highly specialized. That is, to select the correct and suitable pumping skills, set the necessary aspects and clothes.
Let’s talk about the leveling of a bone necromancer. The basic skills and aspects for a bone necromancer are listed. And also, a suitable combat tactic is described, which should contribute to the victorious passage of the game Diablo 4.
Pumping a necromancer with bone skills in the game Diablo 4.
The necromancer that starts with a bone weapon early in the game is a bit weak. But, in the process of development, its strength and power are noticeably felt. Of course, it all depends on the correct leveling of the character, the selected aspects and wearing legendary items. If the necromancer with bone weapons is pumped correctly, then he is able to single-handedly scatter crowds of enemies. As well as confidently resist elite opponents and bosses.
Bone necromancer skills in Diablo 4.
Option without the use of a golem.
Bone shards.
Bone shards will allow you to hit multiple enemies at medium range. In addition, they can regenerate 1 unit of essence if they hit the same target. It is advisable to pump additional improvements “Reinforced Bone Shards” and “Bone Shards of the Acolyte”. We pump 1 unit of a point, including additional improvements.
Bone spear.
The Bone Spear ability is the main weapon when fighting enemies, which deals decent damage. It is advisable to pump to the full and improve with additional pumping “Reinforced bone spear” and “Pair of normal bone spear”. In this case, an additional attack will be added and critical damage will increase. You need to invest one point at the beginning of development. After pumping “Blood Mist” and “Corpse Explosion” can be pumped to the full.
Inanimate energy.
The ability “Inanimate Energy” is needed to increase the supply of essence. We pump by 3 points and get an additional 9 units of essence. Given that the necromancer really needs the essence, you need to try to pump and take the ability to replenish the essence. It is advisable to invest all three points for pumping.
Delicate balance.
Allows you to increase the power of damage with the help of skills by 15%, but the cost of essence increases. With full pumping by 3 points. On the one hand, it may seem that the additional consumption of the essence can harm the particular application of the ability. At the same time, 15% additional damage will allow you to defeat enemies faster. Therefore, we are pumping and trying to find additional ways to replenish and increase the total number of essences. Just like with the “inanimate energy” ability, you need to pump it to the fullest.
Flesh scraps.
The Flesh Trimming ability will come in handy for further development of skills when it becomes possible to blow up corpses. Otherwise, it makes no sense to pump. On successful hits, there is a chance that a corpse will be created under the target. We pump to the fullest.
Explosion of corpses.
Corpse Explosion allows you to explode corpses left by enemies. Works in tandem with Flesh Scraps. Flesh Scraps grant increased chances of corpses spawning, and Flesh Burst allows them to explode. After the explosion of the corpse, opponents take decent damage if they are nearby. It is enough to pump 1 unit of points to start using the skill.
Blood fog.
You can determine the time for pumping yourself when it becomes possible to pump the third stage of character development. The blood fog will allow the hero to avoid critical moments and leave the battle safely. It is enough to pump 1 skill point to be able to use it on the battlefield.
Gloomy harvest.
The Grim Harvest ability is designed to regenerate energy after corpse explosions. Given the moment that the corpses of the bone necromancer are spent only on explosions, pumping will give useful results. An additional increase in essence will allow you to use abilities more often on the battlefield. We pump all three points of pumping.
Death gives strength.
This is another useful point to increase the attractiveness of spending corpses on the battlefield. After spending the corpse during the explosion, in this case, the damage of the necromancer increases by 9%. Useful action is distributed within 6 seconds. It is advisable to pump all three pumping points in order to make the necromancer a little more stronger.
Embrace of death.
Designed to increase the character’s survivability. In melee combat, the necromancer takes less damage. In addition, if the attack is made in close combat, then the damage is increased by 4%. It is advisable to invest 2 points of pumping skill. Or spend at your discretion and add one more point by taking from another pumping.
The limit of death.
Pumping will increase the damage dealt to enemies that are at a distance. When pumping all 3 points, the hero will be able to receive increased damage in the amount of 12%. It is advisable to pump all three pumping points. Thus, the hero will defeat opponents faster. But, in this case, he must be at a distance to get a bonus to damage.
Corpse tentacles.
Corpse Tentacles is another interesting upgrade that allows you to take advantage of corpses. Upon cast, veins erupt from a corpse, pulling enemies in and stunning them for 3 seconds. In addition, enemies that are hit by the ability will take damage. But, in this case, the corpse is not destroyed.
Notches.
The ability increases the critical strike chance of bone skills by 0.9% per 10 Essence. The essence that was accumulated at the time the skill was applied is taken into account. You need to pump all three points for this pumping.
Complex fracture.
The Compound Fracture ability will increase the damage dealt to enemies. After the hero deals 10 critical hits with bone skills, the damage dealt is increased by 15% for 5 seconds. The damage boost will only apply to bone-related attacks. Due to dealing 10x critical damage, the Compound Fracture ability doesn’t look very appealing. Since a decent amount of time can pass and you need to increase the chances of inflicting critical damage. Nevertheless, we pump and spend all three points.
Eradication.
Eradication grants an additional damage boost when the Bones category is applied. Growth increases by 18% to critical damage. Triggers on vulnerable enemies. You need to pump 3 units of pumping points to get an additional increase. With the help of the abilities of vulnerable opponents, there will be a sufficient number. After pumping, you will need to try to use the ability to attack with bones when opponents are hit by vulnerabilities.
Rapid ossification.
Designed to speed up the activation of skills from the bone class. After the hero spends 100 units of essence, the cooldown of bone skills is reduced by 0.5 seconds. It’s not worth spending a lot of points on pumping, 1 point is enough to start getting priority for spending essence.
A storm of bones.
Bone Storm belongs to the Power Skill class, where flying bones appear around the hero after being cast. Flying bones deal decent damage to enemies caught in the area of effect. Interestingly, the bone storm even works on the golem and flying bones are also formed around it. It is advisable to pump additional improvements. In addition, the skill “Bone Storm” gives a shield, and the hero takes less damage. It also increases critical damage by 20%.
Loner.
Given that we will be sacrificing skeletons, leveling the passive skill “Singleman” will be very beneficial. Since the damage received is reduced by 18% if you spend all three pumping points. But, there is a 2% reduction effect for each summoned creature in the team. This suggests that you can take one, for example, a golem and get a reduction of only 2%. But, the reduced damage will still be at a decent level.
Memento Mori.
It is advisable to pump all three pumping points. Since we will not use skeletons – warriors and skeletons – magicians in the process of battles. The listed summoned creatures will be sacrificed to benefit from them. Therefore, the passive skill “Remember to die” will be a very important point. Since it allows you to increase efficiency by 60% of the available bonuses from sacrifice.
Ossifying essence.
The Ossification Essence ability allows you to further increase the damage dealt with the Bones category. It triggers when the character has at least 50 Essence at the time the ability is cast with bones. The additional damage boost is 1% per Essence.
A variant with the use of a golem in battle, in the game Diablo 4.
To use a golem in battle, you need not to sacrifice it in the “Book of the Dead” and choose the one you like from the available ones. In the future, it is desirable to allocate pumping points and allocate a few for skills related to the golem. For pumping, you will need almost everything listed above, without the “Corpse Tentacles”. You will need to allocate points based on the abilities listed below.
Bone prison.
This ability is designed to delay strong enemies. Upon cast, a wall of bones forms around an enemy and enemies cannot pass through it for a short time. By pumping additional upgrades “Improved Bone Prison” and “Ghost Bone Prison”, the hero gets some advantageous moments. Pumped improvements give an additional increase in essence, and enemies receive a vulnerability effect.
Master of golems.
The ability is for the golem used in combat. When saving the golem, it is advisable to pump it to the full. In this case, the golem will stay much longer on the battlefield. The golem is a good defender and is able to hold off enemy attacks for a while. Pumping can become available at level 25.
Summoned creatures on the battlefield from the “Book of the Dead”, in the game Diablo 4.
In almost all cases, all skeletons are desirable to be sacrificed. Thus, additional moments in the pumping of the character will be obtained. From the skeletons – warriors, you need to choose “Raiders” to get a critical strike chance by 5%. For skeleton magicians, it is advisable to choose “Dark Magic” to increase the maximum amount of essence by 15 units.
As for the “Golem”, it is in a controversial position. If you need an assistant, you can leave and take any you like. In the last stages of development, the Iron Golem is more suitable for the game. But, there is another option for pumping a bone necromancer, where the Iron Golem is sacrificed. Thus, you can increase critical damage by 30%.
At first glance, it seems that the increase in the bonus is not large, but the summoned creatures are effective only at the beginning of the game. Since the technology of pumping a bone necromancer is different from a necromancer who summons skeletons. The fact is that the summoned skeletons become strong when they also spend pumping points in the development tree. If you take a golem as a partner, it will not be superfluous to upgrade it with the appropriate skill in the development tree.
Suitable aspects for a necromancer of the bone category, in the game Diablo 4.
Aspects are very important things that are designed to enhance a character’s equipment. Most aspects are designed for specific character builds and hero classes. When choosing aspects, it is advisable to build on the pumped abilities of the character. Since aspects can enhance and improve the existing, active and passive, abilities of the character. Therefore, you need to correctly select aspects so that the character is even more effective on the battlefield.
Guards aspect.
Designed to enhance the attacking moments of skills. The more essence the hero has, the more skill attack damage is done on opponents. In this case, it is important to keep the amount of essence at a decent level and think carefully about attacks with abilities. For example, attack with your strongest skills first to further increase your damage.
Protective aspect.
Designed to increase the necromancer’s survivability on the battlefield. To activate the shield, after the set aspect, you need to deal a certain amount of damage to enemies. After that, a shield in the form of a bubble is formed around the character. In such a shield, all allies and the hero himself become immune to damage. The shield is triggered once every 90 seconds.
Explosive fog aspect.
Needed to upgrade the Blood Mist skill. Upon cast, Blood Mist gains an additional attack type. The additional attack is similar to the corpse explosion, which is activated after the Blood Mist ability is activated. This is a very good aspect when you have to often escape from dangerous places with the help of blood fog. And in this case, an explosion is still produced, causing damage to enemies.
Bloodied aspect.
Allows you to additionally pump the Blood Mist skill. Once installed, Blood Mist will be able to leave a trail that will deal damage. Damage will be inflicted only to those opponents who were chasing the hero and were in the places of traces. Therefore, after using the Blood Mist skill, you should try to run near the enemies and retreat.
Aspect of exploitation.
The aspect of exploitation allows you to increase the control effects of the character, if appropriate. In addition, the necromancer begins to deal additional damage against unstoppable enemies. Suitable for all types of pumping a necromancer, if there are control effects.
Dissecting aspect.
An aspect to improve the “Bone Spear”, after installation, the spear imposes a vulnerability on opponents. If there is an upgrade with shards, then they begin to deal additional damage when they pierce enemies through. It makes sense to install if the character plays through the “Bone Spear”. For other weapons, the aspect will not work.
Tactics of conducting a battle with a necromancer of the bone category, in the game Diablo 4.
The best and simplest tactic is using a golem, as it draws attention and some of the damage. Therefore, we first send the golem, and we ourselves attack the opponents at a distance. In this case, the distance should sometimes shift to almost close combat. Since we have cool abilities in the form of “Bone Storm”, which do very decent damage around the character. In difficult situations, it is important to use Blood Mist to safely evade enemy attacks.
If strong enemies are approaching, then they need to be delayed by the Bone Prison ability. In this case, the gameplay is simple and very effective. To replenish the essence, the use of the Bone Shards ability will help to restore the effectiveness of the necromancer. Since in pumping a bone necromancer, essence is a very important point, where less than 50 units affects the actual damage.
Conclusion on the bone necromancer, in the game Diablo 4.
The bone necromancer is well suited for most tasks and fighting a variety of enemies. It can prove itself especially well in PvP mode, as it has decent damage indicators. At the same time, the main ally, the golem, makes it possible to save health points and delay attacking opponents. You can play without summoned creatures, then the battles will be a little more difficult and you need to choose tactics with skills.
With a golem, going through difficult places is much easier. He is able to stay in the forefront, and the necromancer at this time can calmly consider further tactics. In addition, the total damage to enemies will be noticeably greater than without the golem. At the same time, it will be important to pump the paragon, where you need to pump strength, intelligence and additional bonuses. An important point should be given to the symbols in the paragon to increase the essence. As a result, a worthy hero can turn out on the battlefield, who is able to repulse any opponent.
