Top 3.6 Necromancer Builds

POE Synthesis Witch Raise Spectre Necromancer Build - Safe, Fast Mapping, League Starter

  • + flexible, can stack a lot of block chance if needed
  • + great single target damage (around 3 million with Victario)

Cons

  • - Not super high sustain as we are running Vis Mortis with no life on it (around 7K for Uber Elder).
  • - Spectres are a pain to resummon if they die
