Necromancer uses this signature skill as its core attack, while also using other skills and gear to enhance its effectiveness. This setup is the best choice for players leveling up and endgame.

Bone Spear leveling build
Book Of The Dead Setup
When using the Necromancer-specific Book of the Dead skills for Bone Spear build, the following are recommended builds:
- Skeletal Warriors–Skirmishers, for close combat.
- Skeletal Mages–Cold, to support warriors from a distance and slow down enemies.
- Golems–Iron, to protect your team from enemy attacks while providing additional damage.
While your minions are very helpful during the leveling process, as the game progresses you may find that they are less useful and can even be sacrificed for more damage output.
Leveling Rotation
- Summon Minions–If not already active
- Iron Maiden
- Corpse Tendrils
- Blood Mist
- Bone Storm
- Bone Spear–Main Skill
- Reap–Close Combat
If you already have minions, you should use a mob with Iron Maiden to deal an initial heavy blow to the enemy. Follow up with Corpse Tendrils to stun the enemy and increase the spawn of additional corpses. Then, launch the major attack and use Blood Mist to deal critical damage to the enemy from a distance.
Next, you can cast Bone Storm first, then send a barrage of Bone Spears into the battlefield. If the situation requires, you can rely on Reap and Decompose for support. Corpse Tendrils may have worn off, so use them again to stun remaining enemies and even increase their poison.
This rotation strategy is a proven way to combine unique skills into a powerful attack combo. You can choose the rotation that works best for you based on your personal situation.
Legendary Aspects
Although Legendary Aspects are more prominent in the endgame version of Bone Spear build, you can still find some Legendary Aspects to improve your abilities as you level up your character to level 50 or progress through the story. You can find these Legendary Aspects in specific locations:
Of course, this process can be made more efficient by using Diablo 4 Gold to trade for Aspects that are difficult to find individually, and you can also follow Giveaway channel on IGGM discord. 100 Duriel materials, 100 Stygian stones and 10,000M gold coins will be given away for free to lucky players on August 19th.
Bone Spear Endgame Build
Once you complete Beat Mode, reach level 50 and unlock Paragon Board to enter Season 5 endgame, you can make adjustments to Bone Spear Necro build. The endgame build has different skill point allocations than the upgrade process, and these differences are detailed below.
You will need to reconfigure your active and passive skills. Using the 50 skill points you have and through Renown points, follow these suggestions to allocate:
Passive Skill Selection:
This build continues to use Bone Spear as the core skill, but no longer relies on minions, and instead enhances the use of support spells and attacks. Change curses and replace Iron Maiden with Decrepify. Decrepify slows down enemy movement speed, creating more attack opportunities for you.
Endgame Book Of The Dead Setup
- Skeletal Warriors–Sacrifice
- Skeletal Mages–Sacrifice
- Golems–Sacrifice
Endgame Book of the Dead skills have changed significantly, with minions becoming less important, so sacrificial buffs are recommended to make Bone Spear damage more deadly.
Endgame Rotation
- Decreptify
- Blood Mist
- Corpse Tendrils
- Bone Storm
- Bone Spear
- Corpse Explosion
First use Decreptify to slow down the enemy, then use a mob with Blood Mist, Corpse Tendrils, and Bone Storm to attack the enemy in a row. Follow up with a volley of Bone Spear to deal a fatal blow.
Next, use Corpse Explosion to turn the enemy’s corpse into a bomb to kill more enemies. Keep this simple attack cycle and decide whether to skip the stage against smaller mobs as needed. Although Reap and Decompose can be used, they are mainly used to maintain the integrity of skill chains during the upgrade process.
Legendary Aspects
As you progress into the later stages of the game, you’ll can take advantage of more Legendary Aspects to enhance your build and add special abilities to your primary skills. Some of these enhancements remain the same as they were while leveling, but now there are more options. Here’s where and how to find them:
Paragon Board
Once you reach level 50, you’ll start earning Paragon points. This is a different leveling system than before, as you’ll need to choose a progression path from a board that offers a variety of themes and buffs.
Each path is unique in its own way, but by choosing different Glyphs on Paragon Board, you can enhance key aspects of your Bone Spear Necro build.
Best Glyphs
Level 15
- Gravekeeper
- Corporeal
- Control
- Essence
- Sacrificial
- Exploit
- Amplify
Level 21
- Essence
- Control
- Exploit
- Amplify
- Corporeal
- Sacrificial
- Gravekeeper
After reaching Paragon level 15, make sure to acquire the above mentioned Glyphs. As you accumulate more points, choosing these specific Glyphs in this order will ensure that you progress along the path of the best Necro Bone Spear build.
Now you have all the necessary information and strategies to conquer the world of Diablo 4 and make your Necromancer stand out in Season 5. I wish you outstanding achievements in the game!
