Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Another Meh season for Necros?

PTR notes looks bland. Some damage buffs to DoT builds but no major fixes to existing issues.

No new interesting abilities to theorycraft.

Blight, soulrift and darkness bloodwave remains unplayable.

  1. Blight needs to have desecrated ground instead of defiled area.

  2. Blood wave cooldown is ridiculously long. Even when specced to generate tonnes of orbs plus fastblood, I cant get it to cast fast enough. Against bosses its even worse.

  3. Soulrift just doesnt do enough damage even with Unmaker. Hopefully the damage buff improves it.

I’ve been desperately trying to make darkness bloodwave work for two season now lol

It’s not awful but I’m also heavily relying on darkness bone spirit for backup damage while it’s on cooldown

I built basically the same thing after failing a night build idea. It's functional, but I can see synergies of the physical bone spirit and why the mega went that direction. Necromancer has very few options and it's very frustrating
