  Briggs' Wrath

Full 6 piece Grace of Inarius set, with a Diamond in the Helm, all Topazes in the Torso and either all Topazes or all Diamonds in the Legs for offense or defense respectively. Secondary affix priority is on additional Maximum Essence total, as well as Gold Pick-Up aura where able to expand the radius of Aura of Frailty. Cooldown Reduction for Bone Armor would help cast its Stun effects more often as well.

Wisdom of Kalan is the best Amulet choice, though a Hellfire Amulet with a suitable defensive passive would work as well. For Rings, Convection of Elements and Krysbin's Sentence work to highlight all the outgoing damage via elemental types and Slow and Stun effects, though in the case of needing better defensive power, Unity is as always an option.

For Legendary Gems, Simplicity's Strength adds another damage boost to Grim Scythe, and the 4% heal per hit helps greatly with keeping the build going. Bane of the Trapped stacks with Krysbin's Sentence and procs the base 100% damage increase from it in a perfect radius to overlap the Inarius' bone storm from Bone Armor, and Invigorating Gemstone boosts healing from all sources, stacking up to 10 times while attacking and granting Crowd Control immunity. Given the boosts from Convection of Elements and Krysbin's Sentence at base, Bane of the Trapped could be swapped for a utility gem like Gogok of Swiftness for more attack speed, dodge chance and cooldown reduction, or Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard for more healing and granting health shielding.

Nemesis Bracers are a shoe-in, as there aren't any others that benefit the build directly.

Dayntee's Binding works for damage reduction, as Aura of Frailty ensures all enemies in range are cursed, though Witching Hour works as a more well rounded offensive boost. Sash of Knives is a last viable option since it triggers on all attacks, and benefits from the Physical rotation of Convection of Elements, the damage boost from Krysbin's Sentence, and against close range enemies, the bone storm damage increase from the 6 piece set bonus.

For Weapons, Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang works for the 200% damage boost to cursed enemies, and Leger's Disdain is the keystone to Grim Scythe's massively increased damage, granting an additional 80% per point of Essence restored on use (960% increase against a single enemy given that Grim Scythe generates 12 Essence per single hit, though hits against multiple enemies at once proc more Essence and thus more damage). Both are required to make the build work as it does.

For the Cubed items, Reilena's Shadowhook grants a 0.5% damage boost for every point of total Essence (so say, 150% at a 300 Essence total), Steuart's Greaves granting a 100% movement speed increase for 10 seconds after using Blood Rush, and Briggs' Wrath drawing enemies in when cursed, drawing them right into the Necromancer with Aura of Frailty and right into the Inarius' bone storm and Grim Scythe range.

Paragon Priorities

Paragon of 1000 and above is recommended for pushing past GR65 range, with priority on Movement Speed for mobility, Intelligence for damage, Vitality for Life total, and Maximum Essence for Reilena's Shadowhook in the Cube.

Attack Speed for damage utility, Cooldown Reduction for Bone Armor and Blood Rush, and Critical Hit Chance and Damage for damage capability.

Life Regeneration for basic healing, Armor and All Resist for defense, and then Life total.

Life on Hit for improved combat healing, Area Damage for overlapping damage capability, and Resource Cost Reduction to better benefit Skeletal Mage with Singularity. Gold Find isn't applicable to the build.
