Build Guide

This is a Inarius build I constructed based on Death Nova.

Gear:
Essential:
- 6 pieces of Inarius set (or 5 with Ring of Royal Grandeur): the core of this build!
- Bloodtide Blade 2H Scythe: greatly improves damage of Death Nova against groups of mobs.
- Krysbin's Sentence and Bane of the Trapped: this combo provides very good damage buff! Since this is a melee build, mobs are always slowed by BotT. The damage enhancement is even better for stunned mobs.
- Dayntee's Binding belt and Trag'Oul's Corroded Fang 1H Scythe in cube: this combo provides good damage reduction, free curses and damage buff to cursed mobs.
- Parthan Defenders: stun from Bone Armor, Golem's active skill, and even follower's skill / gear synergizes well with this.

Recommended:
- The Traveler's Pledge and The Compass Rose set.
- Golemskin Breeches: mainly for the damage reduction.
- Convention of Elements: unlike other classes that have skills of 4 elemental types, Necromancers only have 3! Therefore, CoE only rotates among 3 elements, which means it provides higher damage buff on average than other classes!
- Bane of the Stricken, Gem of Efficacious Toxin, or whatever good legendary gems you have.

Gameplay:
- Gather 10 stacks of Bone Armor ASAP. Use Bone Armor for damage and stun whenever you can.
- Several skills and gears are more powerful with more mobs around, so works on bigger groups whenever possible.
- Grim Scythe a few times for the free curses before spamming Death Nova. Bone Armor whenever you can. Devour when low on essence or health. Command Golem is saved for elites.

Give the build a try and tell me your result! Feel free to discuss how to improve it! Thanks for reading! =)
