Best Necromancer build in Diablo 4 Season 2 for levelling & endgame

Necromancers are incredibly powerful and are still one of the best classes in Season 2 of Diablo 4. They have dropped in the rankings just a little bit, as Rogue and Druid come out on top. That doesn't mean they aren't still powerful, though! 

If you want to know how to build your creepy little Necromancer, make sure to keep reading as we explain all of the best stats you need to focus on for the new season. The new season also brings around Vampiric Powers, which can add a boost to your powers should you choose to use them.

Here is how you build the Necromancer in Diablo 4 Season 2.

How good is the Necromancer in Diablo 4?

Looking at our tier list, the Necromancer has scaled back up to an A tier in solo content, and a B tier in group content. They are an incredibly strong class which can do a lot of damage and also have great survivability.

This particular build that has come out on top is called the Infinimist build. This relies on having a constant uptime on Blood Mist through Decrepify and Lucky Hit bonuses for Corpse Explosion. While this build allows you to have great survivability and massive AoE damage, it does mean that you compromise on the speed that you kill bosses, and will be in the fights a bit longer than you may want.

As it stands, the Infinimist Necromancer build is still coming out on top, even after a couple of patch notes. To make this build work, it revolves heavily around keeping Decrepify up and using Blood Mist as often as possible to ensure that you are immune to damage.
