↖ Core Skill - Bone Storm for Increased Crit Chance

The foundation of the Bone Storm build lies in the Bone Storm skill. This powerful ability not only deals devastating damage to your foes but also provides a valuable boost to your critical chance. With this skill at your disposal, you'll be able to unleash a flurry of Bone Spears, tearing through enemies with ease.

 

↖ Minion Management - Sacrificing for Bonuses

Effective minion management is essential for a Necromancer. Sacrificing minions can grant you damage reduction and other valuable bonuses. Use this mechanic wisely to enhance your survivability and empower your character further.

 

↖ Support Skill - Keep Acid for Minion Pickup

The Keep Acid skill is an excellent support ability that allows you to pick up minions and keep them by your side. This ensures a steady stream of powerful companions to aid you in your battles.

 

↖ Mage Skill - Cold for Vulnerable Damage

When it comes to Mages, focusing on the Cold skill will provide you with additional vulnerable damage, making your Bone Storm even deadlier to your enemies.

 

↖ Paragon First Board - Control and Damage Bonuses

On the first Paragon board, prioritize the Control attribute for increased damage against crowd-controlled foes. Additionally, invest points in Armor, Damage, Willpower, and Dexterity to bolster your overall performance.

 

↖ Paragon Second Board - Bone Grafts and Maximum Essence

For the second Paragon board, make sure to obtain the Bone Grafts attribute as soon as possible. This will allow you to cast Bone Spear more frequently. Then, invest in the Maximum Essence attribute, which increases your Bone Spear spamming potential and overall damage output. The Essence on kill attribute is also beneficial for improved quality of life during battles.

 

↖ Legendary Armor - Disobedience for Stacking Damage

Equip the Disobedience legendary armor to amplify your damage output. This armor synergizes well with the Blighted legendary gem, which applies damage over time effects and continually stacks the Disobedience damage bonus.

 

↖ Exploit Vulnerable Damage - The Second Paragon Board Gem

In the Gem section of the guide, we recommend prioritizing Exploit for additional damage against vulnerable enemies. This gem can significantly boost your offensive capabilities.

 

↖ Skill and Talent Choices - Corporal, Exploit, and More

Make sure to select the Corporal talent, as it grants you 10 more damage and enhances Bone Spear's physical damage. The Scent of Death talent will provide damage reduction if you have corpses, making it a valuable addition to your arsenal.

 

↖ Fortified Consideration - Blood Drinker or Crit Damage

In the Fortified consideration, you can choose between the Blood Drinker and Crit Damage options based on your gear setup and preferences. Both choices can have a significant impact on your combat effectiveness.

 

↖ Miscellaneous - Flesh Eater for Consuming Corpses

The Flesh Eater talent is excellent for dealing additional damage when consuming corpses, making it a valuable choice for the Bone Storm build.
