Diablo 3 Bones of Rathma Army of the Dead Necromancer Build

The Bones of Rathma rework made it possible to create Necromancer, which, in addition to deadly spells, also relies on its loyal minions. The set bonus helps to reduce the cooldown on Army of the Dead to a minimum, which allows you to use it very often without worrying about a long cooldown. Considering that skeletons and revived monsters will take most of the damage, nevertheless, Necromancer itself will have a high damage reduction. Combining burst skills will help you deal with monsters and farm high-level Greater Rifts.
