Diablo 3 Legacy of Dreams Skeletal Mages Necromancer Build

Despite the fact that the necromancer is an excellent caster, capable of wiping out an army of demons from the face of the earth in a matter of moments with the help of his dark magic, he still remains a summoner. And if you want to fully reveal this part of his skills, then you have chosen the right build. Thanks to the legendary Legacy of Dreams gem, this build is very flexible and you can always replace some of the gear you need based on your preferences. The main skill for combat will be Skeletal Mage, with the Life Support rune. Razeth’s Volition, Legendary Shoulders, will additionally give 2 more runes – Gift of Death and Singularity. Thanks to this, your Skeleton Mages will be unstoppable!
