Season of the Malignant Season 1 Patch Updates This written guide is always the most up-to-date and accurate version, since updating the video with new information is not possible. Please note that the video guide is meant to illustrate gameplay and general build mechanics rather than act as a precise build guide. Have questions or feedback on this guide? Join the livestream and ask me! Video Guide You are able to level with this build, however we would strongly recommend checking out the Necromancer Leveling guide for the smoothest experience going through the campaign before switching to this build. Outside of letting our minions do our damage, we will be Cursing enemies with Decrepify and Slowing them down on top of consistent damage output via Bone Spear.

That said, the build will require certain Legendary Powers to be a performing character, which is covered in this guide.

It is not recommended to switch to this build until you have started progressing the Paragon Boards to provide layers of defenses, as well as offense, for your army. It is important to point out that Minion-focused Necromancer currently has severe issues with general clear-speed, as well as issues with both damage output and survival until you hit level 50+. The beloved playstyle of having an army of Skeletal Minions destroying everything for you is the main focus of this build guide.
