Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Tank Necromancer

Wiltbloom Golem Necromancer Guide

Wiltbloom Golem Necromancers use the Soulfire primary attack along with Command Golem, Skeletal Mage, Command Skeletons, and Bone Armor. With the Wiltbloom weapon essence your Command Golem encases you inside your golem for 40% reduced damage taken, increased movement speed, and three new golem abilities. This is an extremely tanky PvP Necromancer build that does better when you have ranked up five star legendary gems which deal their own damage. Skeletal mages can be mobile and completely immune to damage with the recommended PvP setup and you can also summon skeletons that greatly increase the attack speed of nearby allies when they die which is great for PvP. Bone Armor is also helpful for shielding you and your allies which helps keep you and your summons alive in high damage situations.

Paragons & Legendary Skills: Wiltbloom Golem Necromancer Build

1. Vanquisher is the best damage paragon for this build because it increases your damage and attack speed on kills.

2. Brawler is the recommended PvP paragon because it gives shields which makes you extremely tanky. The cheat death from the Gladiator paragon sometimes goes to waste if it's triggered when your golem form is on cooldown.

3. Vanquisher is the best paragon tree for increased magic find and has increased damage and attack speed on kills.

4. Harbinger can be used in Erebban for an absorb shield, movement speed, and to move unhindered through enemies.

5. Survivor is the recommended paragon for Vanguard because it gives a cheat death that works in Vanguard.

6. The best legendary skill is Benefactor because it gives a life shield to you and your allies when you use Bone Armor.

7. Below you can find an image for the best paragon for damage and the second image is the best paragons for PvP.

Main Hand

Wiltbloom - Encases you inside a golem giving 40% reduced damage taken, new skills, and increased movement speed.

Note: Wiltbloom Golem Necro was nerfed slightly going from 50% reduced damage taken to 40% in a previous patch.

No Rest, No Peace - Every time a skeleton dies nearby allies gain high increased attack speed for three seconds.

Off-Hand 2

Corrosive Slab (offensive for more kills) - Command Golem now also makes enemies take increased damage.

Decrepit Visage - Your golem roars refreshing the duration of your Skeletal Mages by two seconds every two seconds.

Note: This essence can keep your Black Wall offhand essence Skeletal Mages active while you're in golem form.

Legs

Dead Druthers - Bone Armor now also increases you and your summons attack speed and movement speed.

Recommended Sets

1. Shepherd's Call to Wolves (4 Set) - Increases the damage of you and your minions for each minion you have out.

2. Vithu's Urges (2-4 Set) - Increases the duration of your beneficial effects by 30%.

3. Untouchable Mountebank (PvP 2 Set) - Great for PvP for a large absorb shield which improves your survival.

Best Curses

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

2. Vexed - Deals AoE damage when your summons first enter the battlefield with a cooldown.

3. Ghosted (PvP) - Summons a minion to take damage for you and increases your attack and movement speed.

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

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

2. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind damage attacks and increases your evasion rating.

3. Seeping Bile - Gives a 4% chance to poison and slows enemies movement speed (also triggers the Pain Clasp gem).

4. Maw of the Deep - Useful at high ranks to deal damage, draw in enemies, stun enemies, and gain a damage buff.

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

6. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage and significantly increased movement speed.

7. Stormvault - This gem creates a storm that deals damage over time and slows enemies when it's rank 5 or above.

8. Frozen Heart (PvP) - Should be switched to for PvP for an absorb shield and to chill opponents.

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

2. Viper's Bite - Poisons enemies on cooldown and triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem.

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes enemies to bleed.

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

5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem is drop disabled but it can still be used to increase your damage and deals damage.

6. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP legacy gem with increased damage and reduced damage taken that's drop disabled.

Note: The Follower's Burden two star legendary gem can be tempting but its damage doesn't scale well at higher ranks.

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Everlasting Torment - This budget gem deals damage over time which triggers the damage increase on Pain Clasp.

Note: Everlasting Torment should eventually be replaced with a leveled 5 star Seeping Bile to trigger the Pain Clasp gem.

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior.

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

3. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any 170+ Resilience familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills.

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 one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives 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 a combination of Citrines and Topazes for potency and resistances in yellow sockets for the highest refinement. Potency increases harmful effects durations on enemies and resistances decrease harmful effects durations on you. Citrines for potency is preferred if you only care about PvM damage but resistances come into play more with PvP. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your bound Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them into your equipment if they give more refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

Gem Notes

Legendary gems that provide increased skill damage like Colossus Engine, Power & Command, and Entropic Well don't increase the damage of summons so they shouldn't be used on this build. The fairly new Specter Glass legendary gem is one of the best two star gems in the game for almost every build. The Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile legendary gems deal continual damage which triggers the large damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem. Golden Firmament is a very strong 5 star legendary gem that deals wind damage, increases evasion rating, and triggers Firestorms when mixed with burning damage which gives increased wind damage. The Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament legendary gems increase your critical hit chance so you should consider rolling increased critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones when using these two legendary critical hit chance gems. The Echoing Shade legendary gem summons 1-3 minions that use your primary attacks which helps with the Shepherds Call To Wolves set which increases your damage based on how many minions you have out. One of your lowest priority legendary gems should also be switched to a Frozen Heart in PvP for a large absorb shield and to chill opponents which improves your tanking for PvP for this build.
