Best Diablo 4 Necromancer Builds - Top 3 Necro Builds in Diablo IV Open Beta

1 - Best Diablo 4 Barbarian Build: Whirlwind Barbarian Build

As the traditional role of the Diablo series, it is also considered a very familiar occupation. Its most characteristic whirlwind skills, in the Diablo 4 still debut, and more striking power. And the continuation of Diablo 2 design, the barbarian is also a real "weapon master", and can use a variety of weapons in battle. At the same time, the barbarian in Diablo IV has "armory" characteristics, that can be set by the player: the use of a certain skill, and automatic switch to a certain weapon.

Skill & Codex Changes For Level 25

In the Diablo IV beta, there will only be level 25, to make a variation build over here for level 25, some changes should be done:

Try Iron Skin instead of Rallying Cry, and if we are using Iron Skin, we will need the Aspect of Iron Warrior which gives us the unstoppable when you cast Iron Skin

Now it is a little more defensive though

Try to get to the Wealth of Berserker for the ultimate, and for the other skills the most in level 1, the core skill Whirlwind will be level 5, so it's very similar to level 50 but a little trim down without that many passives and many perks

In terms of movement speed, try to get only 1 movement speed

2- Best Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build: Highest DMG Inferno Burn Sorc Build

The professional characteristics of the Sorceress in Diablo 4 are more interesting. It has a skill enchanting (fusion) system. Familiar), and some skills have linkage effects, which will cause higher damage and new effects. For example, if it is Diablo 2's Pure Cold Sorceress, you can fuse (enchant) the blizzard and the frozen ball, and release the frozen ball at the same time as the blizzard is cast. Is there such a picture?

3 - Best Necromancer Build: Unkillable Blood Mage Build

Necromancer in Diablo 4 can make corpses out of thin air, players do not have to look for corpses like in Diablo 2, and at the same time there is a soul system, which can be understood as the need to use some skills, but also to enhance the effect of some skills or damage. But what makes us most happy is that the Necromancer in Diablo 4 has the Blood Mist skill that is powerful to the extreme in terms of artistic beauty and DPS.

4 - Best Diablo 4 Druid Build: Highest DPS Shapeshift Werewolf Build

Build has arrived in Diablo 4 with a more uninhibited pace. The features of Build this time are even more interesting. In Diablo 2, some of Build's skills can only be used when transforming into a wolf or a bear. In Diablo 4, when Build uses these skills, he will automatically turn into a wolf or a bear. Why does it feel so perfunctory? The other roles are all new abilities, and Build has become an economical operation. But in line with Build's character design, from a zookeeper to a circus acrobat, it can be regarded as an evolution.

5- Best Diablo 4 Rogue Build: Highest DPS Melee Flurry Rogue Build

We have to admit that the most attractive class in the Diablo 4 trailer videos is Rogue. In short, Rogue is a fusion of various classes that players can imagine, such as archer, assassin, thief, etc., with agility as the main focus. There are also three types of playstyles for Rogue, one is the combo mechanism, moves accumulate combo points, and then consume them to increase damage. The second is the realm of shadows, invincible for 1s, and can also pull the enemy into the realm of shadows, then full-screen control. The last is to block and counterattack, causing 1.6 times crit.
