Diablo 4 - Necromancer Leveling Build Guide
We discuss the ideal build as you level your Necromancer in Diablo 4.

The Necromancer is one of the hero classes in Diablo 4. These followers of Rathma make use of the dead and spirits, conjuring spells made of bone or casting curses to debilitate foes. Here's our Diablo 4 Necromancer leveling build guide to help you pick the best skills for the campaign.
The Diablo 4 Necromancer leveling build focuses primarily on area-of-effect (AoE) and additional survivability. Likewise, characters are capped at level 25 during the beta, so we only have a few picks to go by. Also, for a more in-depth explanation of each ability, you can visit our Necromancer overviews regarding active skills, talents/passives, and the Book of the Dead minion summons.
Basic Skill: Hemorrhage (Initiate's) — Basic skills can be spammed to generate essence, and Hemorrhage even provides extra healing by way of Blood Orb generation. Not only that, but another perk grants Fortify, which acts as extra HP/overshield and bonus damage from Overpower attacks.
Core Skill: Blood Surge (Paranormal) — Blood Surge will likely be one of the best skills for the Diablo 4 Necromancer leveling build. This is because it's an AoE ability that heals you. As for its two perks, we feel that Paranormal is more reliable when trying to proc Overpower, especially if Hemorrhage is being used to add to the Fortify value.
Corpse: Corpse Explosion (Plagued) — One of the more iconic Necromancer abilities is Corpse explosion. Assuming Blood Surge kills multiple fodder foes, you can follow up with several Corpse Explosion casts to deal tremendous AoE damage. This ability doesn't cost essence either, as it consumes the dead bodies that litter the battlefield.
