Diablo 4 High Damage Necromancer Build Guide

Diablo 4 Necromancer Skeletal Minions build is focused on summoning Skeleton and Golem Minions to deal damage and protect you, and makes use of skills that synergise nicely with this playstyle. 

Skills

    Reap
    This is a good Basic skill to use because it generates some Essence, allowing you to keep casting other skills. It can also give you some other useful buffs once the upgrades are unlocked.

    Sever
    Sever is Core skill that has no cooldown and is mostly limited by its Essence cost. It’s a great DPS skill that can damage enemies multiple times per cast, and it also synergises really well with the theme of build, receiving a damage boost for each active Minion.

    Corpse Explosion
    This is a great skill for dealing with large groups of enemies. Once you get a cast of Corpse Explosion going, the chances are you’ll be defeating more enemies soon after, allowing you to cast it again and deal more damage.

    Corpse Tendrils
    Corpse Tendrils is a very powerful source of Crowd Control, pulling and stunning enemies onto a Corpse, which you can then also use for a Corpse Explosion. This lets you deal huge AOE damage to many enemies at once.

    Raise Skeleton
    Once all of your Skeletons have been summoned, Raise Skeleton briefly summons a Skeletal Priest to empower your Minions for 5 seconds, increasing their Damage by 20% and healing them for 10% of their Maximum Life.

    Golem
    After unlocking the Golem, you can only use Bone Golems to begin with, which are great for taunting enemies and dropping some extra corpses, which can be used to fuel your other spells even if there are no adds around. However, you can switch to the Blood Golem a little later on, which can be activated to drain life from nearby enemies, dealing damage and healing itself. This is a great way of dishing out extra damage and keeping your Golem Healthy, which gives it an additional damage boost.

Baldur's Gate 3: 8 Best Cloaks

Image
Cloaks in Baldur's Gate 3 are a type of Armor that provides additional protection and various other bonuses to your characters. In addition, it can even entirely alter the way you play your character, all while looking stunning. There are many cloaks in the game everyone wants more; here are the best options in BG3. 1. Cindermoth Cloak The Cindermoth Cloak, as the name implies, inflicts the burning condition on any enemy that deals damage to the wearer if they are within seven feet. This trigger can be used infinitely and even includes area-of-effect spells and thrown items that don't target the wearer. Unfortunately, it has to be looted from Aelis Siryasius, which is an optional fight with a handful of moral ambiguity. 2. Reverse Rain Cloak The Reverse Rain Cloak is meant to be a prank item that is won randomly from Akabi's Wheel of Wonders. Ironically, it is an upgraded version of the Wavemother's Cloak, which has the same effect of granting immunity to Burning and re

The Difference Between Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty And Nioh

Image
Team Ninja Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, which is launching in less than a month, is also a Soulslike game. Again, like the Nioh games, this new RPG will have a mission-based structure with fairly linear levels. But it will also differ from the Nioh game in several ways. So here, we will go over a few of those differences. Setting While the Nioh games were set in Japan, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is set in China. It’s going much further back, with the game taking place in the Three Kingdoms era of China. The setting, of course, will also impact other aspects of the experience. For instance, the combat is built around Chinese martial arts, which means it will emphasize speed much more. Jump Button Importantly, there’s now a jump button! The action is speedier than Nioh, and you can do some things, such as jump into an enemy and then launch over them. This opens up another strategy in combat and exploration. Players can have more dynamic action and more freedom in terms of upcoming games. More V
