Glad to hear your thoughts on the build. Your experience seems to mirror mine for the most part, not far behind where you are at. I am very curious to get your thoughts post 100 though. Watching Chrinikz's stream today he seemed to be struggling quite a lot not all that far into the pit (high 40's i think) a bit has me a bit worried.

Bro the new crafting,loot table, ammount of monsters in helltides, xp boost, damage boost (all classes) are just crazy good, people are enjoying the season even without accual season theme.. a real reborn for d4. Thanks for the video

Season 4 is very nice so far. At level 50 i was already blasting in WT4 without too much min maxing as Necro playing a similar build as yours.

Cool stuff! I’d love to see a Thorns version of this build

Its so strong. Did first cap dungeng at 30 with no legos. It was so easy. Love it

Thanks for the video. I've been waiting on this one. Everyone has been saying that Necro Minions is going to be the meta this season but i needed to wait till you put out your take. Necro it is.👌

I got a Sacrilegious ring from my first unique Iron Wolf cache, my minion Necro is a legit AFK build lol. Also you mentioned you only need to hit 100% attack speed for cult leader, does that mean 2 separate attack speed buckets are no longer a thing?

Necromancer season! Great time to play the class for the first time

@MacroBioBoi, I have to be honest; I really like your intros, and your enthusiasm shines through, which motivates me. Things like following our findings should help you level up quickly and your focus on fun, not just efficiency is super important. Finally, I like the context you provide regarding choices like whether or not to include the Army of the Dead. I suggest adding planners, etc., to the details section of your videos, but I'd imagine you wanted to post this quickly.

Great vid and you walking away from science a bit is awesome kekw :D

Yup, did the capstone at lvl 26 on hardcore with the necro. Very easy. I love that you can mix and match your build with minions. I'm having fun just messing with different minion builds.

I am confused. What part of your build over the Maxroll minion shadow / pure minion should we use? Neither use the same skill build out. I know you say to just use the paragon board from there but what else should we look into using from there? Especially if their paragon boards are focused on their builds. I am pretty casual but would like to mow through content.

@blaynegreiner9365

21 күн бұрын

With minions you will be mowing through everything no matter which you use. It really comes down to using Bone Prison for Blight, or Blight for Blight, and using Taunt Defenders or Corpse Reapers. Honestly you can't go wrong.

New to necro. So 6:29 def need that minion video.

Had bloodless scream drop twice out of the caches you get from iron wolves... i was like what is this sorcery!

This is a great guide! Thank you :) (Just so you know, the title says season 2)

I have a question 🙂 I saw you also posted Shadow minion build. Between those two, which one has stronger survivability? Cause maybe that's direction, for now, I'll try to go. I'm not "sweaty" Diablo player (playing it casually and not every day) so I saw myself dying sometimes/many times - depends on 😁 Of course, that's also because I still don't have fully optimized build, still building up. So, about that survivability, what build you suggest for me to go? If that's even easy to answer. Or, is the method "best defense is good offense" the best? Thank you, appreciate the answer 😊

did the capstone at lvl 24 with random yellow gear and 2hander with the minion damage increase after 10 seconds. really loving minions

Just did the capstone dungeon this morning at level 30. Died a couple times but wasn't very difficult at all. I'm loving the season so far

I just posted this comment on Raxx's recent video "Minion Necromancer Build Guide". Wanted to bring it here to see if maybe some thoughts from Macro: So. I'm a fairly casual player and not sure if I'll push far enough to see if this scales. But on the lazy build (with corpse explosion), the thing I've been doing is using Howl from Below. I'm at level 75 right now. With the most difficult content I encounter: I walk into a room and decrepify everthing. Set my Golem to attack and take a step back as much out of danger as I can get. And then spam my corpse explosion as fast as I can hit it as by this point there are just piles of corpses everywhere and with Howl, they all turn into dozens of heat sinking missles that melt everything. Even against bosses, with the reapers I get tons of corpses.

This season is amazing. I’ve taken Druid Rabies to new heights I didn’t think possible. It’s actually insane.

Good stuff. I got ring of Medeln at level 21, and it's still on me at level 69 (nice). I have no idea how good it actually is at this stage vs ancestral rings, but everything dies so fast at the moment that I'm not too bothered with swapping things around. Something I have noticed is that the damage stats of the unique scales somehow. I don't know if it's via level, or my gear, but it started out at 2k damage every 6 attacks, and now is up to 25k. Which is a HUGE bonus from previous seasons. Without that, my ring would have been long gone 20 levels ago.

Hey Macro, thank you for the video. I noticed the build planner is updated, now it has Bone Prison. I was playing with the Maxroll build guide End Game Minion Necro by Chronikz, which is more similar to the one you showed in the video with some changes. I feel like the Maxroll Minion Necro build was faster in mid tier NM dungeons for me (around 40s). I am still 78 level. Could it be because this version you have in build planner, with Bone Prison gets stronger with paragon board develops further on higher levels? Bosses and elites were melting much earlier before with the previous build. Not sure if I am missing Blood Getter aspect, directly applying blight or the paragon board on that version?

Came here to say this

How is the season feeling overall though? Not trying to be a downer on the minion guide video (I will be playing this build in some form for sure) but just kinda curious. I wasn't super excited about all of the changes and kinda shifting things away from the D2 side into the D3 side of things. Pushing the leveling experience out of existence and having end game systems is cool and all but... I dunno. Feels like in prior seasons I had a journey to level 100 but now that journey is over in like 24 hours-ish just going off of how fast you said you've been leveling. Guess I'll have to try it for myself.

Hey awesome stuff and thank you for the explanations in super detail. I feel like I "missed it somewhere" but can someone confirm this basic rotation as you enter a fight? Is it 1. Decrep on a bunch of monsters 2. (What is making enough corpses to cast Corpse Tendrils? Is Hewed Flesh making them once you Decrep and it starts ticking damage?) 3. Corpse Tendrils to pull pack to the center 4. Raise Skeleton to buff all minions 5. Bone Prison (if you're Chroniks with Plunging darkness) or Blight (if you're MacroBio) to weaken the pack further 6. Golem to head in and kill the pack in the middle of the tendrils/prison/blight pool? 7. Sometimes Army of the Dead where you need it, also adds more corpses 8. Run around and collect blood orbs from Embalmer aspect, and decrease AOTD cooldown 9. Evade out of bad stuff sometimes, dont stand in fire, etc. Just not sure how I would get those corpses all the time... Mostly from Hewed and... if you have Hulking? Oh and you use Reapers for carving, but Chroniks uses defenders to taunt... Otherwise, sometimes I am OOM, or sometimes things are in cooldown so I get out of order or can't drop things correctly. So if you're waiting on a Corpse Tendril cooldown, do you just spam Raise Skeleton? Thxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have they changed Fortify? It used to be as long as you have more fortified life than life and you'd be fortified. Aka: it's almost always active instead of going away. I used to keep fortify for entire NMD100 unless I used a potion.
