Corpse Explosion
Inarius Necromancer Build
Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.1

Inarius is the most versatile Necromancer set which increases your damage globally. This means that pretty much any skill can be fairly powerful when wearing the Inarius set, and in general it allows various gear and skill setups for all kind of purposes. We are presenting a Starter build for Season 13, where Inarius Grace is rewarded to Necromancer players in Haedrig Gifts. This build provides amazing damage, and good mobility (thanks to the In-geom legendary sword, as in general Necromancer is not the fastest class), and will allow you to get off to a good start in the upcoming season.

General information

The entire build is based on the Grace of Inarius set which provides the following bonuses:

• Bone Armor damage is increased by 1000% (2/6)
• Bone Armor grants an additional 2% damage reduction per stack (4/6)
• Bone Armor, while active, also creates a swirling tornado of bone, damaging nearby enemies for 1000% damage and increasing the damage they take from the Necromancer by 3750% (6/6)

Inarius set builds are extremely easy to play. All you need to do is keep your Bone Armor up, and it will increase all the damage you deal by an astounding 3750%. This makes this one of the easiest sets to gear up since you can use pretty much any skill and any damage amplification item you can find during leveling. The Corpse Explosion Inarius build provides not only one of the highest damage output out of all Inarius builds, but also allow you to use In-geom for better mobility, while not sacrificing a significant portion of your DPS.
