BONE SPEAR NECRO MALIGNANT GEMS
These are the Malignant gems we are recommending! Check back in case they don’t quite perform as well as we’d hoped!
TEMPTING FATE
(Vicious, Offensive, WT3)
You gain 40-60% Critical Strike Damage, but your Non-Critical Strikes deal 20-15% less damage
REVENGE
(Brutal, Defensive, WT3)
10-20% of incoming damage is instead suppressed. When you use a Defensive, Subterfuge or a Macabre Skill, all suppressed damage is amplified by 250% and explodes, dealing the damage to nearby enemies
THE GREAT FEAST
(Wrathful, Super, WT3)
Each Minion drains 1.0-2.0 Essence per second but deals 50-75% increased damage. With no Minions, this bonus applies to you and drains 5 Essence per second.
D4 BONE SPEAR NECRO SKILLS & PASSIVES
BASIC ABILITY
The first ability your D4 Bone Spear Necromancer will unlock is Bone Splinters. This counts as a bone ability, and synergizes well with some passives, legendaries, and paragon points we grab for bone abilities. We don’t use it often, so we don’t bother grabbing its second passive.

You get one point every time you level. So at level 2 on your first character you will be spending point #1. At level 5 you will be spending point #4.
When you earn your first renown you will have the same number of skill points as levels.
Beyond that you will have to do some quick math to know how many points you’ve earned from renown and how many points you have earned from levels to know which part of this you are on.

D4 BONE SPEAR NECRO ROTATION
1


We cast this on the pack of mobs before we kill it to top off our essence
2


Lucky Hit Chance: 50%
we send one bone spear in to likely create at least one corpse.
2


Lucky Hit Chance: 20%
If needed, Use tendrils on that corpse to group the enemies up and proc your aspect of grasping veins if you’re wearing it.
3


Lucky Hit Chance: 50%
Use Bonespear to finish the enemies. Remember bone spear will often kill enemies when it bounces back, so cast slow so that you don’t waste your essence by over casting.
4


Lucky Hit Chance: 40%
Save bone spear for the tough fights. Bone storm massively boosts our damage and our survivability but has a 60 second cool down. Make sure you are at full essence when you use this so you can get the most out of it. You want to launch as many bone spears as possible while this is active
5


Lucky Hit Chance: 17%
Use this only when you need essence because something is taking too long to die. Like world bosses.
