Nerfs aside, one of Diablo 4's strongest Necro builds is even better this season

Diablo 4 Necromancer with skeletons and golem

What do you reckon is the strongest Necro skill in Diablo 4? Pre-season patch, I probably would've said Bone Spear—I don't think anyone was surprised when it received such a big nerf after dealing millions of damage to bosses. But for my money, the best Necro skill is Blood Mist, or at least, Blood Mist in combination with Decrepify. The former turns you into an invincible cloud of gore that can produce precious corpses, while the second lets you curse enemies and has a Lucky Hit chance to reduce ability cooldowns when you hit them.

It's a simple synergy that forms the heart of the Infinimist build, and if you throw in Aspect of Explosive Mist, too, you'll detonate the corpses you produce, gaining a further Blood Mist cooldown reduction for each one. Provided there's a decent density of enemies, you can effectively keep using Blood Mist without having to worry about cooldown, giving the build some amazing survivability in Nightmare Dungeons and hard activities.
