The twist on this build comes with mana stacking. The Forbidden Souls node increases the damage of your Hungering Souls based on your maximum mana. This gives you a massive damage boost, and it pairs beautifully with Last Epoch gold the Skeleton Mage buffs.

In this build, you'll be stacking mana (I aim for around 1,000 mana), which translates into more damage and more powerful spells for your minions. It's not for everyone, but with the right gear and passives, it has huge potential.

The Role of Golems and Zombies

For added protection and versatility, you'll be using two Golems (including the newly buffed Blood Golem) to tank and deal damage. The Blood Golem received a buff in Season 4, so it's definitely worth considering for this build. However, if you're not a fan of the Golem, you could easily replace it with Zombies.

The Zombie skill has also been reworked and now synergizes well with this build. Zombies deal Necrotic and Spell Damage, making them a perfect fit. They also bring additional kill threshold, ward generation, and even armor shred, which boosts your survivability. I'm currently leaning toward Summon Zombie as the fifth skill, but I'm still testing options.

Gear Choices and Buffs

When it comes to gear, several pieces are crucial for making this build shine:

Blight Staff: This item got a minion damage buff and increases the number of summoned Skeleton Mages from five to seven. It's an essential piece for the build.

Death Rattle Amulet: This amulet provides critical strike chance, critical strike multiplier, and minion damage, which are all key to maximizing your output.

Aeron's Will Body Armor: With the buffs in Season 4, this armor is even more important. It boosts all skills, including your Skeleton Mage and Hungering Souls abilities.

Phantom Grip Ring: A perfect ring for the build due to its critical strike stats and mana bonus.

There are also a few other gear options, such as Tyrant Skull, which increases the frenzy effect for your minions, and Brewer's Buckle for the Endurance stat, providing more vitality and multiplicative damage.

Idols and Stats

For your idols, you'll want to focus on increasing minion cooldown recovery speed. With the right setup, you can achieve over 250% cooldown recovery speed, which allows your minions to cast Hungering Souls and Necrotic Mortars at an insane rate.

Other useful idols include those that increase minion health, physical damage, and resistances. I'm currently using Omen Idols that increase minion recovery speed, which will be hard to farm but essential for pushing the build to its full potential.

Passive Tree and Final Thoughts

For the passive tree, we're focusing on Necromancer passives that boost damage, leech, attack speed, and critical strike chance. We'll be investing heavily in Vanguards, which gives us extra minions and boosts the damage of our Skeleton Mages.

Overall, this build is designed to maximize multiplicative damage from both your minions and Hungering Souls, making it a high DPS, high survivability build that should be effective in both boss fights and endgame content. A large amount of cheap Last Epoch gold can also be of great help to you.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this Death Blossom Necromancer build looks to be a powerful and fun choice for Season 4. With seven Death Knights, two Golems, and Hungering Souls dealing massive damage, you'll be commanding an army of minions that is ready to Last Epoch gold for sale clear through any content. The synergy between Skeleton Mages, Hungering Souls, and the buffs from mana stacking makes this build feel fresh and exciting.
