Diablo 3 Legacy of Dreams Corpse Explosion Necromancer Build

The Necromancer is one of the few classes to receive a new set in Season 21. Unfortunately, it turned out to be not very effective, so most of the builds are based on the properties of a unique gem – Legacy of Dreams. And this build is no exception. Land of the Dead and Corpse Explosion will deliver massive burst damage at the right time, allowing you to quickly clean your grater rifts.
