Here you will find a summoner build with pets / minions for the Necromancer in Diablo 4 – with full specs, important legendary aspects and recommendations for your equipment.
What build is this? Necromancer minion builds currently don’t compete with the best builds in Diablo 4. But that doesn’t mean they’re so weak they’re not fun.
That’s why we’ve built you a Necromancer pet build here that packs a punch, has decent survival skills, and has a massive skeleton army at your side.
Where is the build from? We at MeinMMO created the build ourselves, always with an eye on the strongest builds of the Necromancer class, for example from the experts at maxroll.gg.
In order to get all important information about your equipment, you should activate important settings. More about this in the short video:

Diablo 4: Necromancer Pet Build
How does the build work? It’s all about:
Your main source of damage is corpse explosions, which you transform into a swelling miasma via the skill tree that distributes massive amounts of damage over time.
The skills “Corpse Roots” and “Plague” provide extremely strong control loss effects that cast a spell over dozens of enemies and scale with your essence regeneration. Plague becomes a “free” skill when enough enemies are drawn in and keeps almost everything under control.
It is important that you keep an eye on your corpses and always reproduce them properly. For this you need a high chance of getting lucky and you have to help out with your basic skill from time to time.
Pet Build – Skill / Skills
Here you will find all skills with the 58 total possible skill points:
You can also use Decompose as a basic skill, but it creates fewer corpses. However, with “Decompose” you can operate further away from the enemy groups, but you are even less mobile.
You can find out how to quickly collect your skill points in our level guide:

Pet Build – Legendary Aspects
Here you can find all the important aspects for the build and the dungeons when they are part of the Code of Power:
Other important information: If you can’t find the unique gloves, you can use normal gloves with the offensive aspect “Aspect of Decay” for now (lootable only). The aspect strengthens the effect of your “shadow plague”.
In order to further increase your survival skills, the Paragon Glyph “Blood Drinker” is also essential. That’s the only reason you want to use your corpse tendrils to create “blood balls” that heal you and, in combination with the glyph, provide a lot of “stealing”.

Recommendation for your gem distribution:
If you want to rely more on “steel” and rely on your supply of blood orbs from “corpse tendrils”, then you can also use “sapphire” on the armor.
Recommendation for the most important attributes:
The Willpower stat scales with the legendary node on the Paragon board Wither, greatly boosting your Shadow skills.
Recommendation for the most important equipment values:
Also, look out for equipment that boosts your build’s passive skills. Amulets can, for example, increase the passive skills of the “Ultimate” category and further strengthen your skeletons. Here you can find more information about damage in Diablo 4 and how values are composed.
What’s next? On the Paragon board, quickly activate the Blood Drinker glyph for steeling with your blood orbs. Here is a guide to paragon leveling.
Your main board, on which you should invest the most points, is “Wither” – here you strengthen your shadow attacks and thus the important skill “corpse explosion”. Activates the Glyph and Legendary Node of the Board.
Otherwise you only activate the glyphs and rare nodes. Quickly grab the Cult Leader board to further power up your skeletons.
Here are a few more suitable glyphs for your boards:
