Is The Necromancer A Good Class In Diablo 3 Season 30?
The Necromancer is considered a powerhouse class when it comes to its high AoE damage and its simple DPS rotation of skills. The class is also not a weak one as it has high endurance, can quickly recover from damage, and has a high base defense.
All of this makes the Necromancer a good class for casual and more seasoned players, as long as you're aware of its flaws, being that it has to stand still a lot, struggles with single targets, and is sensitive to fishing.
Best Diablo 3 Necromancer Build: Trag'Oul Death Nova Necromancer
The build we've chosen for the Necromancer is the Trag'Oul Death Nova build, specifically for its ability to quadruple your Life and add an insane amount to your DPS. The rest of the equipment and skills also give you specific buffs, such as making your Simulacrums last longer and debuffing enemies when they are slowed or stunned.

Best Items For Kanai's Cube For Diablo 3NecromancerBuild In S30
Follow our instructions on how to obtain Kanai's Cube if you haven't already. It will allow you to equip several extremely potent legendary items. Use the following elements after that as an addition to the Necromancer build.
Legendary Gems For Best Diablo 3 Necromancer Build
The Legendary Gems we've selected for the Necromancer build are concentrated on boosting the already crazy damage output of this class while also weakening the enemy stats and making them vulnerable to one-shot assaults from your AoE attacks.
Which Follower To Use With Diablo 3 Necromancer Build
We suggest the Enchantress as a follower since she is the only one who provides Cooldown Reduction, which enables you to spam your skills more frequently, making her ideal for the Necromancer class who cant always unleash constant AoE attacks.
She can utilize the Hand of the Prophet to acquire all skills while staying alive, thanks to the Esoteric Alteration and Mutilation Guard. As a result, we will receive a Cheat Death, Elemental Damage, Reduced Damage from Ranged Attacks, Armor, and Cooldown Reduction.

Even though some people may disagree, we think the Trag'Oul Death Nova is the best because of its excellent damage output, ability to control broad spaces during battle, and ability to stay alive easily if you play well. However, you should feel free to explore if you're seeking anything more specialized.
