Bone Spear Necromancer
The Season 12 theme brings Killstreaks and Bloodied Items to Diablo 4. Slay enemies in succession to begin a streak that grants increasingly greater benefits based on which affixes you roll on your gear in addition to seasonal reputation and experience. Tiers are divided as follows: Killstreak (0-99) - Carnage (100-249) - Devastation (250-499) - Bloodbath (500-999) - Massacre (1000-9000) - Fresh Meat! (9001+). For most instanced content types, you can typically expect to reach up to the 4th tier (Bloodbath). Additionally, you can find Bloodied Sigils for Nightmare Dungeons, Infernal Hordes and Lair Bosses that offer greater challenges and rewards (introducing "pseudo Torment 5").
Bloodied Items
Bloodied affixes are bonus affixes that can randomly roll on gear and come in three categories: Rampage (armor), Feast (weapons), Hunger (jewelry). The first two offer minor combat effects while the latter boosts specific loot drops, which doesn't impact your build. Recommended affixes for this build are:
- Rampage: Core Stat %, Maximum Life, Attack Speed
- Feast: Gain Berserking, Restore Resource
- Hunger: Hunger Drop Rate, Rune Drop Rate, Rampage Drop Rate
There is more to discover including the new seasonal Slaughterhouses and how to transform into the Butcher himself. Learn more details about the season theme in our full Season Guide.

Gameplay Notes
- To start your tree you must select two points into the basic skills. With the change to Reaper's Pursuit, we use Reap primarily for the multiplier however, it does grant more Damage Reduction and Attack Speed.
- Bone Spear is your main damage and hits enemies with both the main hit and reflected shards. The secondary damage component makes positioning important when fighting elites or bosses. Now that it overpowers on every cast, the multipliers available have substantially increased the damage output of this skill.
- Decrepify coupled with your high Lucky Hit Chance helps you reduce all of your cooldowns at a fast pace and provides additional safety through occasional Stuns.
- Blood Mist this is your get out of jail free card. Use in case of emergency. If you are crowd controlled or if you are in danger of dying.
- Corpse Tendrils slows, stuns and pulls every monster (except Bosses) into a single space so that all of your AoE damage becomes more effective. It also triggers Grasping Veins, which is vital for reaching 100% Critical Strike Chance.
- Blight grants a 10% multiplier as well as adding a third Darkness skill to the action bar.
- Bone Storm Grants attack speed and critical strike chance
Rotation Breakdown
Skill Rotation
- In similar fashion to the Bone Spear of old, to begin combat pop your Bone Storm. This will grant you attack speed and critical strike chance.
- Bone Spear activates multiple features of this build. From Hewed Flesh to activating Flesh-eater with the use of Indira's Memory. This will be your primary spam only stopping to activate your support skills as they fall off.
- Once you have a corpse formed from casting Bone Spear, cast Corpse Tendrils to group the mobs. Unleash unholy amounts of Bone Spear.
- To maximize your damage you will want to make sure that you are casting at Bone Spear maximum range or bouncing them off of a wall so that the broken Shards all hit the enemy. Bouncing them off of a wall immediately breaks Bone Spear and does not require the max range to activate.
- Keeping your enemies in a pool of Blight will maintain a 10% damage multiplier on them. You need to utilize Blight every six seconds to maintain this buff.
- NOTE : Reap is on the toolbar to add another Darkness skill to the action bar to increase the multiplier from Bone Spear. You can however use this if enemies get too close for additional damage reduction.

Bone Spear Necromancer
This section is designed to guide your Bone Spear Necromancer from a fresh level 60 into the very late endgame using the three variants Starter, Ancestral and Mythic. At the final step, you should be fully decked out with a great all-rounder build. From there, follow the other min/max variants if you want to optimize around certain activities such as Push (Tower/Pit), Speedfarm and more.
If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols or Pale Marks in the Mercenary Den.

- Gamble helmets to get Deathless Visage and pants for Indira's Memory
