Necromancer Corpse Explosion Build With Trag'Oul and Jesseth Sets

Grasping the essence of his own life forces with the might of the Trag'Oul's Avatar set, this Corpse Explosion variant infuses lethal detonations with his very blood. This daring take on the exploding corpses Necro archetype is available in both Greater Rift speed farming (the present guide) and regular Rift farming (see the link above) variation.

Season 27 comes with the theme of Angelic Crucibles — consumable items that empower Legendary items with perfected Ancient-level stats, as well as infuse them with one of three unique, powerful, class-specific abilities at random. For this build, we recommend introducing Command Golem Flesh Golem to your skill line-up (substituting Devour) and aiming for the Command Golem Sanctification, which adds the following power to your build:

• Command Golem Sanctification: Your Golem now picks up corpses within 20 yards. Each corpse it stores allows you to cast any corpse spending ability ( Corpse Explosion, Corpse Lance, or Revive) with the max number of corpses consumed per cast. Up to 30 corpses can be stored.

Use Angelic Crucibles on an item that crosses over most (if not all) variants of a build, and is also an item that is relatively harder to perfect than other slots (since sanctifying an item maximizes its stats). In the case of this build, good candidates for Sanctification are your weapon, Jesseth Skullscythe, or a jewelry piece like Krysbin's Sentence.

You can read more on Angelic Crucibles and the sanctification process in our dedicated Angelic Crucible Mechanics guide.
