Diablo 4 Season 8 Blood Surge Necromancer Build Options: It Will Help You Get Through The Leveling Stage Easily!

In the current Diablo 4 Season 8 Belial’s Return, Necromancer has become the most chosen class by players with its powerful clearing efficiency and super high damage ability.

But it is worth noting that Necromancer builds really have a lot of options to choose from, so it is very challenging to find some that can help you level quickly while being able to make full use of the latest season mechanism Boss Power.

In order to reduce the time and effort you spend on choosing the best Necromancer leveling build, this guide will introduce you to some specific options for Blood Surge Necromancer builds, which can help you smoothly pass the leveling stage that requires you to grind and cultivate for a long time.

Most importantly, this Blood Surge Necromancer build combines the two most powerful skills (Blood and Minion) of this class at once, and does not require too much gear to stack the effectiveness, so it is very suitable for players who are just getting started with this powerful character of Necromancer.

Active Skills

Blood Surge Necromancer build which just introduced mainly uses Blood Surge skill, and the summoned Skeletal Minions as the main source of damage, because this combination can meet the range attacks (for clearing or farming) and single-target attacks (for defeating a single boss) you need at this stage.

But I need to remind you that Blood Surge requires a lot of Essence to be consumed in your build, so you may need to choose some skills that can automatically generate more Essence in your build, and spend Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade their levels to obtain a steady stream of Essence.

In addition, there are some skills that can trigger additional attack effects that are also very suitable for placement in this Blood Surge Necromancer build. The following are some active skills recommended for you based on the changes made to the attributes and statistics of each skill in the current season.

  • Enhanced Hemorrhage: Each time you pick up a Blood Orb, your next Hemorrhage will be strengthened, and each time you hit an enemy, you will generate two additional Essences.
  • Paranormal Blood Surge: While you are healthy, you gain Overwhelming Blood whenever you are attacked by Blood Surge Nova. At 5 stacks, Blood Surge Overpowers are activated.
  • Raise Skeleton: It raises a Skeleton from the corpse of the enemy you just defeated, and once you have summoned all Skeletal Priests, it buffs your minions for 5 seconds, increasing their damage by 20% and restoring 10% of their maximum health.
  • Ghastly Bone Prison: When elite enemies and bosses are trapped in Bone Prison, you gain 25 Essence, and each trapped enemy grants you an additional 5 Essence.
  • Horrid Iron Maiden: Casting Iron Maiden on 3 or more enemies in combat increases damage by 30% and curses the enemies. You can regain some Essence during this casting.
  • Supreme Soulrift: Increases your damage by 1% for each Soul absorbed, up to 30%.

Since your combat speed and clearing speed are both important during the leveling phase, the recommended skill rotation is very simple: cast Blood Surge at the beginning of the fight, and then use skills that can generate Essence as much as possible to cast Blood Surge again.

When fighting elite enemies and bosses, add Soulrift to them and continue to cast Blood Surge until they are defeated. In view of this, you should spend more D4 Gold as soon as possible to upgrade Blood Surge to level 5 to cause more bleeding damage to the enemy.

Passive Skills

In this Blood Surge Necromancer build, you’ll want to activate passive skills that, when combined, will increase the damage of your gear, so here are the names of the recommended passive skills and how many points you can put into them.
