Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Necromancer

Corpse Lance Necromancer Skills and Equipment:

​

Skills

1. Soulfire (primary skill)

2. Corpse Lance

3. Grim Scythe

4. Skeletal Mage

5. Wraith Form

​​

Main Hand

Death Disseminate (damage) - Grim Scythe now marks the target causing them to take damage when they're hit.

Defiling Swarm (speed farm) - Grim Scythe now creates whirling scythes that orbit you and deal damage.

​

Off-Hand

Departed Appetite - Corpse Lance now consumes corpses to create a vortex of bone around you.

​

Main Hand 2

Revenant Wind (damage) - Wraith Form now damages up to 3 nearby enemies and reduces their damage for a duration.

Stroke of Midnight (speed farm) - Wraith Form now also reduces the cooldown of Wraith Form each time you are hit.

Note: The Revenant Wind main hand essence doesn't work with the Bleak Augury speed farming legs essence so the Stroke of Midnight main hand essence is recommended when you're using the speed farming setup.

​

Off-Hand 2

Scattered Light - Summons untargetable Skeletal Mages that spawn passively. One Skeletal Mage can also sacrifice themselves to remove a total loss of control effect on you.

​

Helmet

Studied Menace (damage) - Deals damage over time and reduces healing by enemies when they're hit by Corpse Lance. This damage over time will be instantly consumed when you're using the recommended Ravening Silence legs essence.

Inscrutable Watcher (speed farm) - Corpse Lance deals additional damage after hitting an enemy 4 times. Inscrutable Watcher is better than Studied Menace when you're using the Bleak Augury speed farming legs.

​

Shoulders

Cutthroat Arch - Skeletal Mages also increase your critical strike chance when they hit enemies.

​

Chest

Gallowsborn - Wraith Form now also generates corpses which can be used to create Corpse Lance bone vortexes.

​

Legs

Ravening Silence (damage) - Grim Scythe now also instantly consumes damage over time on the target. This causes damage over time to trigger its full duration instead of just refreshing the damage over time when you hit the enemy.

Bleak Augury (speed farm) - Wraith Form now gives 50% increased movement speed and high evasion rating.

​​​​

Recommended Sets

1. Angmet's Conflagration (4 Set) - Deals damage over time which becomes instant with the Ravening Silence essence.

2. Feasting Baron's Pack (2 Set) - Increases your harmful effect durations which instantly trigger with Ravening Silence.

3. Vithu's Urges (2 Set) - Increases your beneficial effects durations by 30% which also includes your Wraith Form.

4. Grace of the Flagellant (4 Set) - Replaces Angmet's set when using the Bleak Augury speed farming legs essence.

Note: The stacking damage over time from the Angmet's Conflagration set is instantly consumed with the Ravening Silence legs essence. The Feasting Baron's Pack set increases the duration of the damage over time before its consumed instantly.

​

Best Curses

1. Lashed (PvM) - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Wired - Useful for AoE damage to create a surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies on cooldown.

3. Vexed - Deals damage to nearby enemies when one of your summons enter the battlefield on a long cooldown.​

4. Ghosted (PvP) - Creates a minion for a duration that absorbs a portion of your incoming damage.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​

3. Golden Firmament - Deals wind damage and increases your evasion rating.

4. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased size (which also increases your movement speed), and knockback immunity for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.

5. ​Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.​

6. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

7. Maw of the Deep - Can be used at a high rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

8. Void Spark (PvM) - Deals AoE damage that's very effective for challenge dungeons, terror rifts, and speed farming.

9. ​Frozen Heart (PvP) - Optional legendary gem for PvP that gives an absorb shield and chills opponents.​

Note: The Mother's Lament two star critical hit chance legendary gem can be used with the new Blood Floe critical hit chance and critical hit damage legendary gem in the place of the Maw of the Deep gem at lower resonance levels.

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.

2. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases critical hit chance.

3. Mourneskull - Great legacy gem that increases your damage and deals damage but it's drop disabled.

4. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Can be used with Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament to deal damage on critical hits. Igneous Scorn is the lowest priority 2 star gem and should be the first to be replaced with a rank 4+ five star gem.

5. Crimson Behelit - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

6. Pain Clasp(*) - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.

7. Viper's Bite(*) - Poisons enemies on cooldown and triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem.

Note: Pain Clasp and Viper's Bite shouldn't be used with the Ravening Silence legs essence because it instantly consumes your damage over time which means Pain Clasp won't give its damage increase from a damage over time being on the enemy. Pain Clasp and Viper's Bite should, however, be used when you are using the Bleak Augury farming legs essence.

​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Misery Elixir - Increases the duration of continual damage which triggers instantly with the Ravening Silence essence.

2. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

​3. Entropic Well - A great budget one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

4. Everlasting Torment - Deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: Misery Elixir and Berserker's Eye are the most powerful one star legendary gems for this build. Misery Elixir and Berserker's Eye both require high ranked up five star gems to match their damage.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make the Duskprowler more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any familiar with Savior which gives a cheat death and temporary damage immunity.

4. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects duration in yellow sockets which are both important for this build. You should also socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and use one or two in red sockets for higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gem and increases the  attributes of the gear it's socketed in. You can use one or two of your highest refinement Topazes for resistances in yellow sockets early on but you will eventually want to make the switch to just Citrines for higher Potency. The full duration of your damage over time will be instantly consumed on this build so Potency is a major damage increase. ​

​

Gem Notes

The new Blood Floe legendary gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance. The fairly new Colossus Engine five star legendary gem is great for builds that need increased area of effect, burst damage, knockback immunity, and movement speed from its size increase. The Specter Glass gem is one of the best two star gems for almost every build. Golden Firmament is a strong five star gem that has wind damage, increased evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms when mixed with burning damage for increased wind damage. The Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament legendary gems are great for increased critical hit chance and you should consider rolling increased critical hit damage on your equipment with Reforge Stones when using these critical hit chance gems. The Frozen Heart five star legendary gem is also recommended for PvP for an absorb shield and to chill opponents.​
