Devour with Devouring Aura: Try to stay near corpses to make the most of this aura.

This rune makes it so that you have one super powerful skeletal mage that, with the passive skills you’ll take, lasts for a long time as you send bone spirits at your enemies while siphoning their blood.

Skeletal Mage with Singularity: Use this when your essence is full.

You can easily shred through enemies with full stacks of siphon blood while regaining health using this necromancer leveling build. Try to keep this skill going as often and as long as you can to maintain the stacks provided by the runes for increased damage.

Siphon Blood with Power Shift: Use this to build up your essence.

Commander of the Risen Dead (Passive): Command golem’s cooldown being reduced by 30% means more corpses and more corpse lances.

Stand Alone (Passive): Your only pet will be the golem with this Necromancer leveling build, so you can gain a pretty significant amount of survivability from this rune.

Fueled by Death (Passive): The constant barrage of corpse lances you’ll be doing means you’ll always have stacks of this passive to make sure you can keep a safe distance from enemies.

Vengeful armaments increases the damage this skill does and is especially effective in large groups of mobs.

Bone Armor with Vengeful Armaments: Try to use this in groups and keep it refreshed.

This skill is the most flexible of the bunch for this Necromancer leveling build, and you can substitute it with either leech or frailty - but a slow with a chance of stun is the safest option for kiting mobs in larger areas.

Decrepify with Dizzying Curse: Use this on all enemies.

Stand behind your new buddy and let it take the damage as you safely corpse lance enemies from afar with the extra corpses generated by the flesh golem rune. Command Golem with Flesh Golem: Use this on cooldown.It is great for shredding low level bosses and gets a significant damage boost from the rune’s critical chance increase. This is going to be your biggest single-target damage dealer for this build.

Corpse Lance with Brittle Touch: Use this when you have corpses.It, too, has amazing range - and this rune causes the spears to get stronger with each consecutive enemy it hits so use it in tandem with bone spikes to line stunned enemies up for tons of damage. Bone Spear with Blighted Marrow: Use this skill when you have essence.Amazing range and an AoE stun make this a perfect skill for kiting enemies while keeping them grouped together. Bone Spikes with Sudden Impact: This is the skill you use to build essence for this Necromancer leveling build.
