↖ Core Mechanics

The Bone Necromancer focuses on utilizing Bone Spear as the primary damage dealer. By obtaining the aspect that grants bonus damage to vulnerable enemies hit by Bone Spear's bone shards, we can achieve a significant damage boost. Equipping a two-handed weapon amplifies this bonus even further, potentially reaching a 200% damage multiplier against vulnerable enemies. Critical hits with Bone Spear also generate additional bone shards, further enhancing the damage potential.

 

↖ Skill Tree and Gear

• Bone Splinters (Essence generator): Provides additional vulnerability to enemies, maximizing damage output against vulnerable targets.
• Bone Spear: Invest in the skill tree to unlock the ability to split the spear into multiple shards, increasing damage potential. Combine this with the legendary aspect to amplify critical strike chance and critical damage.
• Corpse Tendril: Pulls in enemies and stuns them, while also making them vulnerable. This skill synergizes well with Bone Spear and provides significant damage boosts.

 

↖ Other notable skills

• Skeleton Warriors: Use them for corpse generation and additional damage. Increased life for minions and consuming corpses provide valuable benefits.
• Skeletal Mages: Maximize the number of skeletal mages to boost resource generation and overall damage output.
• Bone Spirit: A powerful cooldown skill that benefits from essence regeneration and critical strikes.

 

↖ Legendary Aspects

• Increased skeletal mages: Boosts the number of active skeletal mages, enhancing resource generation.
• Exploiters: Provides extra damage against bosses, making the build strong for boss encounters.
• Grasping Veins: Offers increased critical strike chance and critical damage, synergizing with Corpse Tendril.
• Disobedience: Grants armor increase when dealing damage.
• Shift to Runes: Grants movement speed upon critical strikes.
• Splintering: Amplifies bone skills' damage output significantly.

 

↖ Optional Legendary Aspects

• Swiveling Curse: Increases Bone Spirit's damage.
• Serration: Provides a critical strike damage multiplier for bone skills.

 

↖ Essence Generation

Use aspects that boost essence generation, such as Umbral Essence or aspects that grant essence on hitting vulnerable enemies. High essence levels enhance damage output, so prioritize essence generation and maintenance.
