Best Diablo 4 Blight Necromancer build in Season 5 Blizzard Entertainment \/ DexertoThe Necromancer is one of the top classes to play as in Season 5 of Diablo 4 with the Blight build also making the meta. Here\u2019s how to assemble the build as well as how effective it is for Leveling, Endgame, and PvP play. The Blight Necro build involves the Necromancer manipulating corpses and using them as a deadly weapon against the forces of hell. As the Necromancer is a top-tier class this season, knowing how to craft their best builds is essential. The Blight Necro is rated as C-Tier in Season 5, but the fact that the build is on the meta means it\u2019s still worth trying. Below, we\u2019ll detail how to optimize the build for leveling, endgame, and PvP, giving you the best skills, items, Aspects, and Glyphs to target on your journey this season. Best Blight Necro leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 5 As you level while playing through either the campaign or the new Season 5 content, you\u2019ll want to make sure that you\u2019re selecting your skills in the following order: These skills will help you craft the ideal Blight Necro build for leveling. Of course, you\u2019ll need to have unlocked the Renown points to use the extra ten. Many of the passive skills above will boost your Corpse and Shadow skills (like Blight) and make them as powerful as possible. As every build needs active skills, we\u2019ve provided a variety that complements the Blight build in combat. As there\u2019s synergy between Corpse skills and Minion skills, we\u2019ve also ensured that your passive Minion skills have been boosted while ignoring Bone and Blood skills. Best Book of the Dead setup for leveling When it comes to using the Necromancer\u2019s unique Book of the Dead skills, we recommend selecting the following: Skeletal Warriors \u2013 Reapers – Skeletal Mages \u2013 Cold – Golems \u2013 Blood – This Book of the Dead setup is the best for this build, letting your Reaper Skeletal Warriors focus on melee combat while you and your Mages support them from a distance with Cold Magic. This will slow enemies down while your Skeletons, Golem, and yourself strike at them while they\u2019re vulnerable. It\u2019ll also allow slowed enemies to be caught up in Blight and be more susceptible to its damage and status ailments. We\u2019ve selected the Blood Golem for this Book of the Dead setup as it\u2019ll allow your Golem to buff your damage output and heal you when you\u2019re in danger. Best leveling rotation Summon Minions – Iron Maiden – Corpse Tendrils – Blight – Corpse Explosion – Reap (in close combat) – You\u2019ll likely already have your minions active when a battle begins, if not summon them. Then, strike a mob with Iron Maiden so that they\u2019re likely to take more damage when the battle starts. Next, cast Plagued Corpse Tendrils to stun enemies and increase the likelihood of producing extra corpses to re-supply your minion army. From here, hit them with your main attack, using Blight to do damage from a distance once your minions engage the mob. Blight, Plauged Corpse Tendrils, and Iron Maiden will work well together, trapping enemies in a deadly kill box that only becomes more lethal when you start casting Corpse Explosion. This will finish off stragglers in no time. Should an enemy get too close to you slice them with Reap, or attack the bubbling mess left behind by Blight and Reap your enemies caught in it. Of course, whichever rotation works for you will be the best to use, but the above is a logical, tried, and tested method to combine skills into one powerful set of attacks. Best Legendary Aspects While Legendary Aspects will become more useful in the endgame version of the Blight Necro build, there are some you can hunt down while progressing to level 50 or while playing through the story. Here\u2019s where you can find them: Best Blight Necro endgame build in Diablo 4 Season 5 Once you reach endgame in Season 5 by beating the story, hitting level 50, and unlocking the Paragon Board, you can then respec to the endgame version of the Blight Necro build. However on this occasion, this is the same set-up as the leveling build, only the point allocation has really changed: Here\u2019s which passive skills you\u2019ll need for the endgame build: This build still primarily focuses on Corpse skills as your primary form of offense, but also uses Minions as a secondary set of skills, similar to the leveling build. Best endgame Book of the Dead setup We\u2019re going to use the same set-up we used for leveling in our endgame version of this build: Skeletal Warriors \u2013 Reapers – Skeletal Mages \u2013 Cold – Golems \u2013 Blood – Best endgame rotation For endgame, use the following skill rotation when approaching mobs in battle: Summon Minions – Iron Maiden – Corpse Tendrils – Blight – Corpse Explosion – Reap (in close combat) – Once again, the aim here is to trap enemies in a box while Blight, Iron Maiden, and Corpse Tendrils do their malevolent work. Enemies will also be slowed by your Skeletal Mage\u2019s cold damage, making them even more vulnerable. Best Legendary Aspects Now that you\u2019ve reached endgame, you\u2019ll have access to many more Legendary Aspects to boost your build and add special powers to buff your primary skills. Some are the same as in the leveling build, but now there\u2019s even more. Here\u2019s where and how you can find them: Remember, you can also strip these Aspects from their original item and apply them to an item of your choosing. Paragon Board Once you reach level 50 you\u2019ll stop earning skills points and start earning Paragon points instead. This leveling system works very differently and involves you selecting updates from various boards with different themes and buffs. Every path is different, but the good news is that by targeting different Glyphs as you move around the Paragon Board, you\u2019ll start buffing your Blight Necro in the ways that matter most to the build. See below to see which Glyphs you should target first. Best Glyphs Level 15 Darkness – Control – Scourge – Sacrificial – Abyssal – Exploit – Amplify – Gravekeeper – Level 21 Control – Scourge – Exploit – Sacrificial – Amplify – Abyssal – Gravekeeper – Once you reach Paragon Level 15, work your way towards the above Glyphs. You\u2019ll also unlock more across the Paragon Board as you earn more points, but selecting these particular Glyphs in this order will keep you on the best possible path for the Blight Necro build. Best Blight Necro endgame item build Blight Necromancer build for PvP The Blight Necro isn\u2019t recommended for PvP, and while it\u2019s fantastic in PvE, we\u2019d recommend using the Bone Spirit or Bone Spear build instead, sacrificing your minions and turning your Necromancer into a one-person army in some cases. If you\u2019re set on taking this build into battle against other players, though, we\u2019d suggest sticking to our endgame version for the best results. Your minions will be weak to other players, you tap your PvP opponents in your kill box (see rotation) then move in for the kill with Reap. It may be worth upgrading Reap by taking some of the points away from your minions if you choose to use this build for PvP.
