Welcome to our build guide for LoD Skeletons Group Necromancer in Diablo 3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know to play this build at the highest level. This build is updated for Patch 2.6.7 and Season 19.

This build has been retired in Season 20. We removed it from the menus, but we are leaving it on the site, in case a new LoD Skeletons build appears in the future.

1.

Introduction

Focusing on the combination of the Legacy of Dreams' adaptability, underlying Thorns synergy and the natural summoner capabilities of the class, the LoD Skeleton Necromancer emerges as a capable Rift Guardian killer spec. This pure single target, multiplayer-oriented spec only plays a part of a composition with an AoE damage dealing party member and supports.
