  Briggs' Wrath

The build relies on the Inarius set due to its general nature and only requirement being to have Bone Armor in your build to get your damage bonuses up and running. My favorite Necromancer skills are Blood Rush and Death Nova, so I wanted to find a speed build for Torment farming that combined those two things. This build seems to do the trick nicely, with a high priority on movement speed that you'll utilize between Blood Rushes, getting from Elite pack to Elite pack, as well as cool synergies between curses, creating density, and making melee fun.

The biggest things to note are that you really want Maximum Essence as a secondary on your Scythe and Phylactery to assist with the damage gained by Reilena's Shadowhook in the Cube and you should be looking to mainly focus on killing elites, although you'll also be killing plenty of trash as it keeps funneling in due to the huge radius you'll have on Aura of Frailty.

Please check out the video below for a full rundown and a visual of how the build play. Necromancer is still very fresh and I'm sure changes will come, so I'll update this guide as I think of new ways to improve the build and as the developers tweak the Necromancer. Thanks for checking it out!

Paragon Priorities

Due to Reilena's Shadowhook, Maximum Essence is very important for buffing your damage, so pay special attention to that. Otherwise, you should be focusing on getting your cooldown reduction up so that you can Blood Rush as much as possible and also get your damage statistics up so that you're killing as quickly as possible. The defense will take care of itself due to the Goldwrap, Boon of the Hoarder, and Avarice Band combination.
