Coming back to season 4 after an extended break and gonna give necronancer a go, haven’t played him since season 2. Gonna go with bone spear for my endgame but wanna level with a different build and respec later on to bone spear.
So is blood surge the best one?
Nope, full minions is the meta this season. They are beefed up. But can still pair them up with blood surge, you’ll not be useing it much as your minions will mow down everything before you.
Blood Surge is absolutely still a good skill to build around for leveling. I couldn’t say whether it’s the best. I think people fixate a bit too much on super builds instead of what’s fun but… that’s a separate discussion.
I’m not even convinced Minion spam is the “best” setup for Necro. Minions are still mentally handicapped and need babysat all the time. A Blight setup may be more better. Shotgunning stuff right in the face with Ebonpiercer… mmmhh…
The temperings are so strong and it’s so cheap in the early game to imprint that anything is extremely strong now. Just put some of those offensive temperings on and cruise.
Per se. during leveling minions been always in use this season they been boosted … a lot especially golems. I normally played in previous seasons BS and Blood Surge necro - this season I tried minion and blight - leveling either on of them from 1 to 50 take … few hours? (hello helltides …) with seasonal journey you can boost glyph experience so much that you can literally level any glyph from 1 to 21 in very few runs. Tempering and loot remodeling made early game like cake walk
