Build Guide
Thanks to Rhykker for sharing this build with us on youtube!! Great build and I think this will be great even when live comes out. Let's get some comments going to help make this build better.
Hey guys! Rhykker shared some information with me that was useful! Here is a copy of what he said:
Hey guys! Just wanted to quickly hop in here and clarify something: While this is my build guide, I am not the original creator of this build. I tried to track down the original creator, but all I found were people arguing over who truly created it first.
To answer some questions: you want cold damage on wrists and amulet; corpse lance deals cold damage and will be the most significant damage source outside of mirinae. Area Damage is not important for this build.
Thank you to Daleme2 for sharing this video here!

Some guidelines for stats on each piece would be sweet.
Good explanation, thank you.
Well, if you don't know wich stats to choose, look my profile. My character is doing great actually on this build and I'm looking after the top ranked in the leaderboard for stats and skills.

I think I'm doing it the way it should be, otherwise give me some advice!
Using the Briggs Wrath ring so it groups everything. Makes killing packs so much faster.
Everyone seems to want pet builds. This is simplicity itself. Very enjoyable! Great build!
Build must have been nerfed. Just got it all together and died 3 times in a regular nephalem rift, and the damage is nowheres near that of my Arcane Wiz with similar gear. I do not understand Blizzards idea where they bring out a new class, and then nerf it all to hell on patch day.
You prob are doing something wrong indeed.
Cleared a GR71 withing 10 minutes just yet as my current highest without any issues really.
Going for speed 65's now until I get some better/desired items.
What i dont understnad is the land of the dead, that CD is brutal, i run flesh golem instead to generate 8 extra corpes along with molt blood rush for a 9th, after that im set. I dont understand why most necro builds run this move
Leger's Disdain... makes Grim Scythe hit harder
You should always use Unity over Wisdom for solo content because at the start (or when you die) it's mathematically the same as having the first 10 stacks of bone armor free. With Wisdom you have to build up for it, which on certain RGs is problematic.
Please add stat priorty for all slots!
Thanks
i'm doing GR40 without any set piece....(just got 2 from cube. 0 drops yet) Something's wrong with you
No, I am not doing anything wrong. I just cleared a GR75 in 8 minutes. That is not on par with my Wiz build using the same quality of ancients. The boner build is about 10 GR's below. My Archon wiz can complete a GR85 in the same time frame. I figured that the necro would be OP like the wiz and DH classes were last season. Why would Bliz create a new class, charge a fee and then have it be mediocre, or just average? They did that with the Crusader class when it was introduced, but it was part of an entire expansion pack. I am just dissapointed and hoping for better in the patches to come.
plz fucking allow me to delete this post for the love of god. allow me to remove my fucking stupid comment please ! put a huge fucking "delete this post" button after selecting edit... or something, i cant even just leave it blank... FUCK !
seriously, is there no delete post button ?!
Because using the golem you use gives the build less defense (see stand alone passive)
If you would actually read the items text you would see that it says
Grim Scythe deals an additional 7–10% damage for each point of essence it restores.
Meaning it only works if it restores essence which doesnt happen often because the only spender we use is bone armor which has a cd and only uses 10 essence but even if you could use more essence to make it worth doing you would ruin the aquila buff. So you may get the buff for 1 hit every 10 seconds or so but then you are back to weak dps. You will get much more dps from using a 2h weapon at all times because 2h weapons have bigger stat numbers and your dps will not fluctuate. Now, if the bone armor had no cooldown (or a much smaller one) I would agree that it would be worth using the item you suggested but thats not the case.
Better yet why dont they just make everything do 0 damage to you and have you kill everything in 1 hit right? No actually on second thought even if they did that you would just find some other reason to complain. They release a new class while trying to keep it somewhat balanced so it doesnt outshine other classes and take over leaderboards but all you do is whine about it.
Bahaha... typo. Should be Uliana!
I have a feeling this build could fit into 4-mans on higher GRs if you cube Corpsewhisper Pauldrons (assuming it works with Land of the Dead).
