Welcome to the ultimate Diablo 4 Necromancer leveling guide! This guide is for both experienced players and newbies to the Diablo universe. It will walk you through the unique features of the Necromancer Class and provide two powerful leveling builds: the Blood Surge Necromancer and Bone Spear Necromancer.
The Necromancer is a unique and thrilling class in Diablo 4. They are masters of the dark arts and specialize in blood and bone spells. They also command an undead force. The Book of the Dead, the unique class mechanic of the Necromancer, allows them to customize their undead minions.
The Necromancer is a fascinating, but slightly unorthodox, character. He wields Shadow, Blood Bone, and Curses. He often fights alongside his Skeletons and massive Golem.
Essence is the Necromancer’s main resource. It can be replenished using basic skills, or special abilities such as Grim Harvest (Rank 3), a skill that generates Essence when a corpse is consumed. The Unliving Energy trait (Rank 3), which gives your Essence an additional boost, can be upgraded.
As you progress in Diablo 4, the Necromancer will be able to summon a variety of minions, including Skeletal Warriors and Skeletal Mages. These can all be customized using the Book of the Dead. These minions provide support in combat and can be modified for damage, defense or crowd control.
The Necromancer is a class that thrives when playing with its minions. However, it can also be a formidable opponent in solo combat. The Necromancer can be a formidable class, even when fighting alone. It has the ability to summon Bone Spears, Walls, and deal spell damage with Darkness, Corruption Bone and Blood.
Necromancer builds for leveling
It is important to have a great Necromancer leveling build. Below are two builds which will allow you to have a dynamic experience while leveling and make the transition from endgame content smooth.
Blood Surge Necromancer Building
This leveling build is centered around the Blood Surge ability. It’s designed to deal high DPS damage and AoE, making it a powerful weapon against groups of enemies. The abilities Blood Surge, and Corpse Explosion are key to this build. The first lets you deal high explosive damages and replenish your health when you drain blood from the target while the second helps with crowd control, and boosts your DPS.
As you progress, you will be surrounded by skeletal minions the majority of the times. These minions can however be sacrificed to improve resource sustainability and damage output as you progress. This build is flexible, allowing you the option to switch to another Necromancer build based on Aspects that you acquire along your journey.
This build also has a unique feature: the healing components that are present in many blood skills. These components help to increase sustainability and survivability. This is particularly useful when you’re facing stronger bosses or groups of enemies.

Bone Spear Necromancer Building
The Bone Spear Necromancer is a great choice if you want to focus on dealing heavy damage. The Bone Spear Necromancer builds on the Bone Spear, a bone spear that can pierce enemies and scatter shrapnel when it hits. This build excels at single target elimination and crowd management, providing a balance between offense and defense.
The Bone Spear build is easier to follow because it doesn’t rely upon random Legendary drops. The Bone Spear, combined with skills such as Corpse Tendrils to group enemies and Corpse explosion to generate Essence, is a powerful build. It allows you to fire a barrage at enemies while maintaining a safe distance. This is perfect for taking out high-value targets.
