The Legacy of Dreams Death Nova keeps its place as the strongest AoE-based Necromancer build in Diablo 3 Season 37. Its natural ability to detonate massive mobs in just a few casts makes it the best build to play in high-tier Greater Rifts (GR).

The LoD Death Nova Necromancer maintains high toughness against stronger enemies while keeping its skill rotations fairly simple, making it viable for new players. This build is capable of delivering staggering amounts of AoE damage, but fails when it comes to focusing on single-target damage.

Core items:

  • Funerary Pick
  • Iron Rose
  • Krysbin’s Sentence
  • Convention of Elements
  • Stone Gauntlets
  • Bloodtide Blade
  • Haunted Visions

The Masquerade Bone Spear Necromancer retains its place as a reliable solo build in Diablo 3 Season 37. It's easy to set up in terms of gears and strong AoE damage bursts, and offers a simple gameplay loop, making it a solid choice for solo players. While the Masquerade of the Burning Carnival set is built around enhancing the Simulacrums, this Bone Spear Necromancer can also be used with Aughild’s Authority set to gain some much-needed damage reduction or the Captain Crimson’s Trimmings set for survivability and cooldown reduction.

Core Items:

  • Masquerade of the Burning Carnival
  • Haunted Visions
  • Nayr’s Black Death

The Rathma Army of the Dead Necromancer is built to overwhelm mobs and elites with massive burst damage with minions. This build is the best to use against Rift Guardians, but it requires skillful gameplay due to its lack of mobility, dependency on summons, and weak defense layers. But with proper gameplay and gear setup, it becomes the ultimate nuke in Diablo 3’s Greater Rifts.

  • Bones of Rathma
  • Fate’s Vow

The Trag’Oul Death Nova Necromancer introduces the strongest life-sustaining multipliers in the game alongside its strong Death Nova skill loop. This build is easy to set up and uses simple rotations in combat. It stands out for its life recovery, doubled life pool, and excellent tankiness. However, just like the LoD variant of the Death Nova, this build also suffers from the lack of high single-target damage and a heavy reliance on Simulacrum.

Core items:

  • Trag’Oul’s Avatar
  • Iron Rose
  • Haunted Visions

The LoD Meteor is the best Wizard build to play in Diablo 3 Season 37, as it offers one of the most dominating solo Greater Rift (GR)-pushing setups.
