Krysbin's Sentence

Krysbin's and CoE can be swapped with eachother if needed.

Lacuni is very risky, this build is very VERY easy to kill and it's meant for 4 man GR. You need the monk or you are a dead Necro...

It's important to roll max essence on main- and offhand for max DPS.

Build Guide

The build is fairly simple and is designed to reach stupid amounts of stricken stacks in a very, very short amount of time.

On top of stricken we also use “Bone Ringer” -the only useful offhand for necro- which makes this build’s single target DPS explode in 1 min+ fights.

Basic math:

Inarius set (stand close to RG) 2750%

Travelers and Compass 100%

Reilena’s ‘max essence’ *0.5 = X%

Krybin’s = 100 - 300% depending on CC effect

Trag = 200%

Bone Ringer = 30% * ‘seconds’ skeletons attacking same mob

CoE physical rotation = 200%

Rotation:

The rotation of this build revolves around CoE in conjunction with Simulacrum. Simulacrum boost’s our Reilena’s bonus DPS by 100%. This build has some seriously HUGE burst damage on RG but is squishy and semi-affected by adds.

CoE physical rotation is where we get our damage from combined with “Command Skeleton - Frenzy rune”. Bone Ringer and Stricken will stack stupidly fast once skeletons and skeleton mages are used.

Attacks with cursed scythe for the 200% > stand clsoe to RG for Inarius to work > Spam “Skeleton Mages” max stacks > pop Simulacrum 1 sec before CoE physical > dead RG

I have done 102 with this setup at 2.2 mil DPS (which is very low). On EU leaderbords this has done 110+
