With free minions and a myriad of damage, control, and support spells, Necromancers have a variety of ways to handle Diablo 4’s greatest challenges.
The Necromancer in Diablo 4 is automatically a summoner in addition to whatever path the player decides to take. This gives the class a huge leg up over others that have to choose a distinct path and then take it. But that doesn’t mean the Necromancer is easier to build than the rest.

With an unoptimized build, the Necromancer actually becomes rather generic in Diablo 4, struggling to keep its minions alive while dealing paltry damage and getting killed by minions. With a goal in mind, the class can be one of the best PvE classes whether solo or in a group.
At the maximum level and with all the Renown gathered, players will have 58 skill points to invest. The best PvE build for the Necromancer blends corpse generation with minions. The minions will take care of the tanking and some passive damage while the Necromancer focuses on burst damage when corpses start to pile up.

While there are many moving pieces to the build, there is only one non-ultimate ability with a cooldown (Corpse Tendrils, mitigated by Abhorrent Decrepify) so the Necromancer has a full toolkit at all times and can be ready for any type of conflict in a PvE situation.
