Essence is then spent on both Core and Curse skills. The Necromancer’s resource, Essence, is regenerated by Basic skills and through specific passive talents and Legendary abilities. Dexterity increases Critical Strike Chance and Dodge Chance.

Willpower boosts Resource Generation, Healing Received, and Overpower damage.

Intelligence adds to Skill Damage and Elemental Resistance.

Similar to Diablo 2, classes in Diablo 4 make use of all primary stats: Sadly, they do not (yet) have any mobility skills, such as Blood Rush for the Diablo 3 Necromancer. Their caster health pool can lead to quick deaths without defending themselves with blood power, curses, and a protective wall of minions surrounding them. Necros summon skeletons and golems to fight on their behalf or wield the powers of Blood, Bone, and Shadow to deal damage.

Necromancers are a caster class in Diablo 4, focused on weaponizing death to mow their way through the demonic invaders of Sanctuary.

If that sounds like the playstyle for you, let’s explore the basics of the Necromancer class. In Diablo 4, necros slam down curses, summon minions, and swing scythes with incredible ease for ultimately fatal results. The Necromancer is the master of life and death in the Diablo franchise.
