Diablo Immortal Necromancer Build Guide 2025: Gear, Gems & Tips

TL;DR: Necromancer is still a top-tier all-rounder. Run a Corpse Lance burst set for dungeons, a summons set for chill farming, and keep flexible gems so class-changes don't sting. Farm missing essences during Iron Stockpile, save legendary chests for the next Inferno level, and spend Paragon wisely while we wait for the next tree update.

Why Swap to Necromancer Now?

Server Paragon ticks to 800 on Monday, putting everyone on equal ground for fresh class switches and late-game loot hunts.

With the Iron Stockpile event offering legendary chests that scale with difficulty, it's the perfect time to gear up a new class without wasting precious resources.

Core Builds You Should Try

1. Corpse Lance "Delete the Pack"

This build stacks Bone Spirit and Corpse Lance for massive burst damage — perfect for Challenge Rifts and dungeons.

  • Essences Needed: Gravedirt’s Weight, Maw of the Deep, Vortex of Bones
  • Main Skills: Corpse Lance, Bone Spirit, Command Skeletons (for quick taunts), and Wraith Form for mobility

2. High-Damage Summons

If you prefer a more passive playstyle, build around Command Golem, Skeletal Mage, and Dark Curse for easy, casual farming.

  • Essences Needed: Coldburrow Cage, Welcome End, Sacrilegious Lilting
  • Strength: Perfect for auto-farming open world zones while staying relaxed.

Gear & Essence Farming Tips

Save your Iron Stockpile chests for when the next Inferno tier unlocks. Opening them at higher difficulty means better legendary item rolls.

If you're missing essences, focus farming in zones tied to specific gear slots. Salvaging duplicates builds up loyalty bonuses fast — just don't expect it overnight.

Picking the Right Legendary Gems

Stick to universal all-class gems like Blood-Soaked Jade, Seeping Bile, and Void Spark. They stay useful even if you class change later.

While Fervent Fang and Pain Clasp work fine for Necromancer burst builds, remember that Pain Clasp needs crowd-control triggers to shine.

Recommended Load-out

Gem Reason
Blood-Soaked Jade (5★) Boosts mobility and flat damage
Seeping Bile Spreads poison effects in large pulls
Void Spark Strong consistent DPS output
Fervent Fang Stacks damage per hit, good for bosses
Pain Clasp Boosts damage against controlled enemies

Paragon & Future Proofing

If you're nearing Paragon 800, use your points to finish legendary skill nodes first. Afterward, stockpile points while waiting for the new Paragon trees Blizzard teased for later this year.

Avoid wasting resources on summon-only gear or gems unless you plan to stay Necro long-term. Staying flexible means easier, cheaper class changes down the line.

Fast Essence Routes

  • Dark Wood: Chest, Helm
  • Tome of Fahir: Legs
  • Mount Zavain: Main-hand, Shoulders

Cycle these zones at Hell VIII+ difficulty and reset bounties often for faster drops.

Final Thoughts

Necromancer is easily one of the best all-rounders in Diablo Immortal for 2025. Whether you're nuking dungeon packs or lazy-farming the open world, there's a build here that fits your mood.

Save your legendary chests for Inferno, prioritize general-use gems, and you'll be ready for new content drops, Paragon expansions, and whatever surprise classes Blizzard throws at us next!
