Diablo 3 Legacy of Dreams Death Nova Necromancer Build

This build is similar to Trag’Oul’s Avatar Death Nova, but thanks to Legacy of Dreams the gem has more customization options. This build has high AoE damage, good rift clear speed, but is still weak against single targets. It also has good survivability and is great for speed farming or Greater Rift group pushing.
