    Capstone: Rathma’s Vigor

The core strategy involves using Blood Skills like Blood Surge for health sustain and Overpower damage. Hemorrhage provides Fortify generation, while Blood Surge scales with your health. Blood Mist offers defensive capabilities, allowing you to move while maintaining buffs and generating Fortify, keeping you close for minion passive benefits. The Rathma’s Vigor Capstone ensures your Blood Skills maintain Overpower effects. The unique item Deathspeaker’s Pendant is crucial, causing your minions to cast Blood Surge explosions for a fraction of their damage, significantly boosting Overpower procs and overall damage when swarmed.

Book of the Dead Options:

  • Skeletons: Raise an additional Skirmisher Warrior for more minion procs and buffs.
  • Mages: Choose Shadow Mages for increased Shadow Bolt attacks or Cold Mages for the Frozen Vulnerability option.
  • Golem: Select the Iron Golem’s Vulnerability Slam for Boss Vuln application or its 5th attack shockwave perk if Cold Mages handle Vulnerability.

These Book of the Dead choices enhance minion effectiveness, provide crowd control, or apply crucial Vulnerability debuffs, which are essential for multiplicative damage scaling.

  • Core Skill Passive: Hewed Flesh x3 (12% chance to create a Corpse on Lucky Hit)

Tips
  • Prioritize the Deathspeaker’s Pendant unique item for your diablo iv Necromancer build.
  • Utilize Blood Mist defensively to maintain buffs and generate Fortify while repositioning.
  • Ensure you have a method to spread Vulnerability, either through Cold Mages or the Iron Golem, as it's a major damage multiplier.
  • Consider swapping points from Corpse Fortify to Priest passives or capped minion damage based on preference.
