Best Necromancer Stat Distribution in Diablo 4
The core stats are different for every class in Diablo 4. For instance, the Sorceress build uses Intelligence as their main damage stat while Rogues use Intelligence as their critical strike chance stat.
For Necromancers, they will likely use Intelligence as their main damage stat, so look for armor and weapons that increase that. Willpower will also be an important stat for Necromancers as it will likely be their critical strike stat.
Best Necromancer Items in Diablo 4
Since Diablo 4 is still in early access, we aren’t sure what the best weapons and armor are yet for the Necromancer. We do know about a handful of Unique items, but nothing for Necromancer yet.
Our advice is to find Unique weapons and armor that focus on the skills you have that center around your bone abilities.
