Warning: This build is Socket Heavy. I am neither the best player, neither it's best option for Necromancer SrS of Enormity Minion Instability, it's more of how i would do so if i had a task to complete Campaign, be prepared for early mapping and going for all 4 Watchstones and more. Before reading B- Blue Socket R- Red Socket G-Green Socket, also uses of those imply that those are linked: Name is "Nessa" means interact with NPC after completing quest (mostly run forward or kill stuff). / means or. ( ) is Extra context, Optional Option or Cost of Gem. You can sell Blacksmith's Whetstone, Orb of Transmutation, Orb of Alteration to a vendor for 4 Wisdoms.
