For summons, you’ll want to use the following:

• Skeletal Warriors: You want to use Reapers and use Upgrade 2, which gives them a 15% chance to create a corpse from an enemy.
• Skeletal Mages: You want to use Cold Skeletal Mages as their chilling effect provides extra crowd control, which means more damage. You’ll also want to use Upgrade 1, which provides you with two Essence every time one of your Cold Skeletal Mages uses a primary attack.
• Golems: You want to use the Bone Golem with Upgrade 1. This means that every time it takes up to 20% of its Maximum Life as damage, it creates a corpse.

Best Way to Spend Paragon Points for Necromancer

When you make it to level 50 and unlock the Paragon Board, there are a few stats you should focus on as you make your way through it. Intelligence and Strength are perfect for the Necromancer, as Intelligence will increase your builds skill damage while also increasing resistance to all elements. On the other hand, Strength will increase your Necromancer’s armor — making it more of a tank than before.

When you make it to a Glyph Socket, your best bet is to put a node that increases your damage for every Intelligence in the surrounding spots. This can multiply the damage your Necromancer does significantly — making it more deadly than before.

How to Beat Ashava with Necromancer in Diablo 4

After reaching the max level, you can focus on a Necromancer build better suited to defeat Ashava. Our experimentation found that builds that use Bone Spear, Sever, or Blood Lance are the most effective.

For instance, a Bone Spear build will allow you to bring your minions to the fight while giving you the tools to keep them and yourself alive through Decompose and Blood Mist. In addition, your Bone Spear will apply Vulnerable through the use of Super Natural Bone Spear, making it easier to defeat Ashava.

The Sever build will make you a bit tankier if that is the play style you are looking for. This build uses the Reap and Sever skills to provide built-in Damage Reduction. It also produces corpses, so you aren’t reliant on skills like Decompose, which can be dangerous.

Blood Lance got buffed so that you can sit there and spam Blood Lance until the fight ends, making Ashava easy to beat. With the Supernatural Blood Lance spell, you will gain stackable Attack Speed and reduce the Essence cost of Blood Lance with every attack.
