Diablo 3 Trag’Oul’s Avatar Death Nova Necromancer Build

Season 27 pleased Necromancers with a significant buff to Trag’Oul’s Avatar set, increasing damage from Life-spending abilities and healing from skills. In addition, several Legendary items have received buffs that increase AoE damage from Death Nova and increase effectiveness against single targets. As a result of these changes, this build has high AoE damage and good survivability, given the great health recovery. It’s perfect for speed farming rifts, clearing the trash in groups and solo pushing (but still lucking single damage against high-tier bosses).
