Support Necromancer Build

Also known as “zNecro Build” for “zero” damage

A highly flexible build that enhances the damage of others in your group, and keeps enemies from attacking.

Keep in mind that this build is only meant to be used in groups, as the Support Necromancer themself will do little to no damage.

This build mainly focuses around using Corpse Lance to spread and stack its debuff from the Brittle Touch Rune on enemies. The other major Skill is Land of the Dead, which you want to keep up as much as possible to freeze enemies, and spread Corpse Lance easier.

Aside from these two Skills, the other core Skills are:

Passives

Equipment

You will need two pieces of the Pestilence Master’s Shroud set for this build, in order to let Devour trigger Corpse Lance. Leoric’s Crown (with a Flawless Royal Topaz), the Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac, and two pieces of the Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set will help keep the cooldown of Land of the Dead low. Strongarm Bracers and Brigg’s Wrath work together with Frailty to boost the damage of your group.
