As Diablo 4 Season 3 unfolds, players are anxious to know about the arcane secrets of the Necromancer class. Furthermore, there is the introduction of the Companion system which will create an unfair advantage for some builds. For this season, this guide provides a concise and clear tier list of builds that can help you pick the most powerful Necromancer build.

 

• Understanding Build Flexibility
• The Underperforming Summoner
• C-Tier: Bloodlands Build
• B-Tier: Corpse Explosion and Shadow Builds
• A-Tier and S-Tier: Bone Spirit and Blood Surge
• The Bone Spear Build: A Contender for S-Tier
• Final Thoughts

↖ Understanding Build Flexibility

Another point to consider in understanding build flexibility is how easy it is to switch between primary skills within each route. Among those on bone route, they switch between Spear and Spirit as required while those on Blood route will keep changing between Blood Surge and Lance. The variation may be toggled to Infinium Mist or Giga by devotees of Shadow. With these supple substrates one can change and improve as the season proceeds.

 

↖ The Underperforming Summoner

Unfortunately, pure Summoner build remains at the bottom of our tier list. This might be an improvement for Golem that might help in leveling phases but its contribution to endgame content is minimal. However, its inclusion in top-tier play cannot be justified by a mere 30% multiplicative bonus to Critical Strike damage from a Golem hence relegating pure Summoner into a D-tier status.

 

↖ C-Tier: Bloodlands Build

Bloodlands build has mighty force enough to dominate level 100 dungeons or strong opponents like Uber Lilith as well as Duriel. Nevertheless, its resource production mechanics feel sluggish when compared with other builds which make them its Achilles' heel. The inclusion of Mutilator Blade unique item has slightly mitigated this by boosting Blood Lance's damage and providing fortification bonuses. However, despite all these improvements, Bloodlands still holds onto C-tier because of its inherent casting restrictions.

↖ B-Tier: Corpse Explosion and Shadow Builds

Corpse Explosion now comes with fewer lucky hit chances and this has affected Giga Doxels Cored Signet explosion build and Infinus Necrom. Nonetheless, these two builds still have good performance but may be weak in leaderboard content where instant kills are more effective than damage over time. Therefore, both of them are in B-tier with the possibility of advancing depending on how they perform under different conditions.

 

↖ A-Tier and S-Tier: Bone Spirit and Blood Surge

F-tier obscurity is what the Bone Spirit build was pushed out of following a significant buff to make it A-tier. With the likes of Swelling Curse as well as Shadowed Spirit among new aspects, players can have 100% critical chance with huge damage boosts. Shattered Spirit aspect further improves this build's strength by creating bone splinters that deal more damage and generate Essence which makes it stronger.

 

The Blood Surge build also defies odds since despite nerfs might have seen its S-tier status slightly lowered. It remains unequaled in terms of raw clearing power, while buffs like Flesh of Adrenaline and resource generation by the Companion makes Blood Surge unstoppable.

↖ The Bone Spear Build: A Contender for S-Tier

In addition, the Bone Spear Build is more powerful than ever with a Companion that is more readily available to assist with its resource requirements. This build has so far been consistently successful and will gain a lot from this improvement made on the Companion.
