Best Diablo 4 Sever Necromancer build in Season 5 Blizzard \/ DexertoThe Necromancer is Diablo 4\u2019s very own Grim Reaper and that\u2019s especially true in Season 5 with the Sever build. This is a build that allows the Necromancer to turn into Death himself. Here\u2019s how to assemble the build as well as how effective it is for Leveling, Endgame, and PvP play. The Sever Necromancer build involves the Necromancer summoning a shadow minion that cleaves its enemies to pieces with a deadly scythe. As the Necromancer is a top-tier class this season, knowing how to craft their best builds is essential. 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 Sever leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 5 The Sever build is rated as B-tier this season, meaning while it\u2019s not the best, it\u2019s still pretty deadly. 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 Sever 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 Sever) and make them as powerful as possible. As every build needs active skills, we\u2019ve provided a variety that complements the Sever build in combat. We\u2019ve also ensured that your passive Minion skills have been boosted while ignoring Bone and Blood skills in this build, however, this will change when we respec for the endgame version of this build. 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. While your minions engage the enemies, cast your spells, then batter them with Sever from a distance. Best leveling rotation Summon Minions – Iron Maiden – Corpse Tendrils – Sever – Corpse Explosion – Reap – 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 Sever to do damage from a distance once your minions engage the mob. Plauged Corpse Tendrils, Iron Maiden, and Sever 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. 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 Sever 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: There will be more Aspects to hunt down in the endgame build. Best Sever 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 Sever Necro build. However on this occasion, there are some significant changes from the leveling build. While the core skills remain similar, we now add Bone Storm to our arsenal \u2013 and say goodbye to minions. Note the endgame Sever build is rated as C-tier in the meta. So, if you prefer to create a hybrid build you can always keep your minions \u2013 just know that this isn\u2019t the true Sever endgame set-up. Here\u2019s which passive skills you\u2019ll need for the endgame build: This version of the build still primarily focuses on Shadow skills, but you\u2019ll also notice that minion skills have been replaced by passives that favour a solo, minionless, Necromancer. Best endgame Book of the Dead setup In our endgame version of this build we\u2019re going to Sacrifice our minions to strengthen ourselves, turning our Necromancer into a deadly solo warrior who\u2019s Sever skill is even more powerful than before. Skeletal Warriors \u2013 Sacrifice – Skeletal Mages \u2013 Sacrifice – Golems \u2013 Sacrifice – Of course, you can choose to keep your minions, just know you\u2019ll be less powerful when fighting solo without the buff Sacrifcing them gives you. If you do choose to do this, consider changing some of your passives, like Memento Mori and Stand Alone to minion mastery skills. Best endgame rotation For endgame, use the following skill rotation when approaching mobs in battle: Iron Maiden – Corpse Tendrils – Bone Storm – Sever – Corpse Explosion – Reap – Once again, the aim here is to trap enemies in a box while Iron Maiden, and Corpse Tendrils do their work. However, this timne we won\u2019t have minions to fall back on, so we\u2019ll use Bone Storm instead. Now, hit the mob with Sever and when the bodies start to drop, use Corpse Explosion to massacre the survivors. Should anyone get to close to you, use Reap to show them that you\u2019re death personified. 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 Sever Necro in the ways that matter most to the build. See below to see which Glyphs you should target first. Best Glyphs Level 15 Abyssal – Gravekeeper – Essence – Control – Exploit – Sacrificial – Amplify – Level 21 Essence – Control – Exploit – Gravekeeper – Amplify – Sacrificial – Abyssal – 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 Sever Necro build. Best Sever Necro endgame item build Sever Necromancer build for PvP The Sever 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. Minions will only be a hindrence in PvP, you\u2019ll be much better off using the Sacrifice option if you use the Sever build.
