doesn't it make more sense to have 2 ranks into bone splinters to bump the dmg they deal when coming out from the spirit. or are they different things?
Mac, clicking the build planner link and following the skill tree is different than the video. The build guide shows for example (1) point in reap and the video show point in bone splinters, not reap. What am I missing? The Maxroll build guide does not seem to match the video skill progression. So, I'm following the video at starting at 2:45.

I've never cared for Bone Spear and have refused to even try it in D4. With this video, you have made me excited to go give this a try!! Thanks for all you do for this community. 🙏
Thank goodness I found this channel. I've unsubscribed to many gaming channels lately. I want Diablo 4 content like this. Not dozens of hate videos slamming the game! My new rule is... If you have multiple videos in a short amount of time on your channel trashing out the same game.... I'm done with that creator. Very much looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Thank you so much for this build. It's a much funnier build than all the corpse explosion bone spear builds. I would never have figured out that bone skill combination. They work so well together. Keep up the good work.
Brand new to any Diablo game. I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the detail in your video. Your pace was perfect. The screen shots are well timed and your overall explanation was perfectly explained. I have been watching other channels for a few weeks now. Hands down yours are the best. New sub right here. Keep up the good work for us new players.
I wanted to try meteor sorc this season bc of the new unique item for it, but once im finished w/ this character, my 2nd one will absolutely be this necro build. Grateful for all your effort finding and figuring out these builds every season!
Can't wait to try this when I get to WT4. Near the end of WT3 now. Got Visage, optimal CD and decent rolls for Sacrilegious. Can't wait to optimize this.
Before anything, congrats for all the content you post! Always great to see your in depth analysis! I’ve been playing in my Eternal Necro with the traditional Bone Spear with Lidless Wall and I had a great improvement in resource management using the Ring of Starless Skies. I’m currently using it and Sacrilegious and I have no problem whatsoever keeping my Essence up. I also have chance on lucky hit to restore Essence on the Lidless Wall and gloves. May be worth some testing! 😉
Normally a barb player, made a druid last season but decided to switch up and go for necro this season, knowing you would have a solid guide for a necro newbie like me LOL
Coming off season 2 (failing) trying to maje bliod lance bone spirit dream work, its nice to see bone spirit love as i was gonna lean in more on bone spirit this season, or bone spear as i never made a bine spear build. Low and behold!! I get both
My brother in Rathma, THANK YOU. You have saved the Necromancer for me this season. The changes to Splintering had me down in the dumps, and I completely rerolled to Rogue after realizing that the build was going to play dramatically differently. Bone Spear has been my go to build from literally the first open beta where you could play the Necro. Didn’t care about strength at all- I made the all bone build myself with the “OP” Corpse Tendrils into Bone Prison combo giggling at the frustration of monsters and players alike as they became walled off. I played it in pre season and season 1. I supported the massive damage nerfs because it was too strong. The recent change to splintering just made me feel hopeless, however, not because of the damage change but because it was just a massive change to the utility of the Bone Spear build. No longer does everything on screen become vulnerable for free :( Bosses can’t be made vulnerable at all unless they spawn adds you can shoot through. I knew the build would need to change, but I didn’t know HOW it would change and still feel good. I did mess around with Bone Spirit and I liked the new resource gen, but I didn’t know how all the pieces would fit together. I really appreciate this video guide, man. Thank you so much for bringing life to this class time and time again.
the build i made days ago utilizes the bone splinter/spirit build with artisan and blood orbs and i think it's the most perfect combination on the internet. i synergized it exactly the way it needs to have balance between the two styles. no bone spear in it and i made an incredible paragon.
Thanks for all your hard work! Would you consider this build on par with Bone Spear build? I ran bone spear pre season and want to run something different for season 3 after my LS Druid. Obviously Shami could replace Deathless Visage in this build but what about other Uber uniques? Starless instead of exposed flesh? Could GF work?
Thank you so much for this awesome in depth guide. Really you explained it so well to make it easy to follow.. Def gonna try it. And we'll done keep it up..
Man I been using almost the same build leveling up. First time I'm having fun with a bone build, extremely fun to tendrils and shotgun them with bone spirit.
Thanks for the guide. Im level 100 and fine when there are loads of mobs on the screen however The Son of Malphas kicks my ass and I can barely do any damage to him?
Been using essentially blood surge builds so far but the monotony of it is killing me. I've been looking at bone spear builds for the past couple days and this seems to be the nicest one so far even if pretty gear dependent.
Quick question. Does Blood artisan summoning bone spirit trigger dreadful bone spirit? Thought that you sacrifice a defensive aspect but get the opportunity to have another skill to decide a bit more of the blend with offence and defence that you like
I KNEW IT! I suspected they stealth-nerfed splintering aspect and when I wasn't getting vulnerable on bosses anymore. Either way sweet build, bone-on-bone action boys xD
Yeah, I was wondering why the hack I drop in dmg and resource reg so drastically especially by doing bosses. I played the classic bone Speer and I never was so disappointed in boss dmg. That’s the reason why
I'm working on the spear build currently. Would you say this is stronger? Is the meta going to shift at the top level for this class? I was originally building the Blood Surge build, but it was making me hate playing the Necro. I want the best power fantasy the class has to offer
In your video you say that paranormal bone spear was nerfed because of the vulnelable not being able to applied with shards, but in your buil planner youhave it :/
This is exactly what I was looking for and it is plenty fun to play :) I am just wondering why the D4 Planner Paragon Board looks so different from the one in the video... did you change it so much?
It shores up some issues bone spear has while slightly reducing its max clear speed. Namely, handles Suppressors and tanky elites significantly better while being very tanky.
Pretty decent build but im rocking Kripps Shadow Golem build atm and it slaps hard also super fun with the minions. The Blood Golem hits for several millions at max level.
@@MacroBioBoi thank you a billion bub. Appreciate it. Smh last season I got it doing the event in the blood harvest but have had no luck getting it in this one.
could you explain the math around aspect of serration? I find old (few months old) posts saying it's an own multiplier, but when reading it I assumed it will just take all crit damage and multiply that, then add the multiplied total crit damage into the big fat damage bucket where crit damage normally is? or does it work differently? does it act on critical damage itself, not the +critical damage attributes on gear?
@@MacroBioBoi thanks, so it's the total damage output, like a complete separate bucket right? I was confused if this changed with the changes to damage buckets that blizz made some months ago
@@MacroBioBoi sorry, same question about the critical damage bonus from grasping veins, how does that one work? does that one work the same as the serration or does it only multiply the crit damage that then gets added into the big damage bucket with all other additive damages? so would a grasping veins on a 2h be the same damage as serration on a 2h, or not? (assuming the grasping veins requirement is met and both are max rolls of 80% on a 2h)
There isn't a thing of "just the crit damage". If you crit, your damage is multiplied by 1.5 and your crit additive gets added into your total damage bucket. Grasping Veins says if you crit multiply your total damage by this number. Exact same as serration (if you're at the minimum essence value and the crit is a bone skill)@@aspa3071
The video build guide was filmed around 12 on Thursday evening, and the editing and build planner had to be done the following morning. The Maxroll full text build guide takes a lot more work and often coordination with multiple people so you can likely expect that at a later date.
@@alecsmith110 He's going to be adding it as a variant to the Bone Spirit guide once things are more settled. The build planner is already in that section.

My dmg is still not the best. Need long for bosses like duriel and co. and have a really hard time in ~90 nm dungons. I am lvl 100 with 90% 925 gear with at least 2-3 good mods each. No idea what's wrong. My highest crits (which happens really rarely) are 1m dmg.
I don't wanna hear IN DEPTH about why you're placing every skill. I wanna copy and paste and actually play the game, because at this point I have more hours on doing builds rather than actual gameplay and I'm about to quit Diablo. And I am really struggling to put my skill points the same way you have, you stop and talk about why and how you use the skills and the jump-cut to somewhere else in the tree.. I have 3 points left and no idea where to put them. And also wtf, you have points in bone splinters but aren't using it? There's 7 skills but only 6 slots

Yay! Thanks as always. I really love your approach and attention to detail
How well can this build hold up in HC? Tanky? And can it run without uniques?
Good break down, knew there was a reason I keep returning here ty
Thank you so much for this awesome in depth guide. Really you explained it so well to make it easy to follow.. Def gonna try it. And we'll done keep it up..
How do we implement using the grandfather?!
currently playing in s6, which obviously brought a ton of changes. is there any way to make something like this viable now?
I just got to lvl 50.....would this work for me do you think? What's the skill rotation play?
would it be worth changing the helm for a shaco if you had one?
Man I been using almost the same build leveling up. First time I'm having fun with a bone build, extremely fun to tendrils and shotgun them with bone spirit.
Not even playing necro this season but I’m about to make one just because of this video.
Thanks for the guide. Im level 100 and fine when there are loads of mobs on the screen however The Son of Malphas kicks my ass and I can barely do any damage to him?
He's bugged or something, his scaling is super off.
Thankyou for the planner I now can continue with this
Been using essentially blood surge builds so far but the monotony of it is killing me. I've been looking at bone spear builds for the past couple days and this seems to be the nicest one so far even if pretty gear dependent.
would shattered spirit work on the blood based bone spirit? would that mean unlimited essence for blood as well?
Quick question. Does Blood artisan summoning bone spirit trigger dreadful bone spirit?
Thought that you sacrifice a defensive aspect but get the opportunity to have another skill to decide a bit more of the blend with offence and defence that you like
Yes it does
Interesting. I'll play around with it. Thanks
Loving the build so far! One question - the video shows using grasping veins on the amulet, but the build planner shows serrated. Which one is better?
The planner is a perfect world, the video is my limited resources as a real person playing with imperfect gear
I KNEW IT! I suspected they stealth-nerfed splintering aspect and when I wasn't getting vulnerable on bosses anymore. Either way sweet build, bone-on-bone action boys xD
Yeah, I was wondering why the hack I drop in dmg and resource reg so drastically especially by doing bosses. I played the classic bone Speer and I never was so disappointed in boss dmg. That’s the reason why
Thanks a lot for all your work. Can i do same result without bone spear ? And use decrepify ? Thanks
Spamable bone spirit maybe is not far off anymore? With high enough resource regen (shako, rings…etc)
how come my explosions from the deathless visage look tiny compared to yours?
I'm working on the spear build currently. Would you say this is stronger? Is the meta going to shift at the top level for this class?
I was originally building the Blood Surge build, but it was making me hate playing the Necro. I want the best power fantasy the class has to offer
I was lucky enough to drop Starless Skies last night, would you swap that with Exposed Flesh? :)
Exposed Flesh + Starless Skies. Enjoy infinite essence.
In your video you say that paranormal bone spear was nerfed because of the vulnelable not being able to applied with shards, but in your buil planner youhave it :/
Because in a perfect world with max level breaking on your pet, you get 100% uptime on vulnerable and can use the better version on Bone Spear.
This is exactly what I was looking for and it is plenty fun to play :)
I am just wondering why the D4 Planner Paragon Board looks so different from the one in the video... did you change it so much?
They're basically the same in different shapes
Damn, the new hat looks good. Give me Bush in Boots vile.
The infinimist guide on maxroll, tactical support is not compatible with tempest
Is this better than bone spear build?
It shores up some issues bone spear has while slightly reducing its max clear speed. Namely, handles Suppressors and tanky elites significantly better while being very tanky.
Living vicariously through you for yet another season. Sorc s2 and druid s3. Necro is my default though! Thanks for your diligent work
Would it make sense to drop the bone storm if I don’t have a lidless yet?
Nope, bone storm is your best skill
What’s the gameplay here what moves you do first? Idk I’m lost
Cast Bone Spear unless it's tanky. Then cast Bone Spirit.
@@MacroBioBoi thank you
Pretty decent build but im rocking Kripps Shadow Golem build atm and it slaps hard also super fun with the minions.

Kripps a master crafter.
Curious why your paragon board is different in this video to the paragon board set up that you linked in your discord for this build?
I'm a level 90 character with imperfect gear. The planner is a perfect world scenario.
Ah yup makes sense 😊
Following very interesting.
Is it doable to use this build even if you're in Eternal realm? I don't quite understand how the seasons work.
Yes definitely! Nearly all season 3 builds are useable for eternal.
Yep, doesn't use any seasonal content exclusive stuff
Blood Mist is Macabre as well, so +Macabre skill triple dips.
