The Corpse Explosion Necromancer, also known as "CE Necro", excels at taking down masses of mobs. The mercenary and summoned minions, who first eliminate a few monsters, pave the way for a gruesome massacre. Carcass Blast's primary damage has a massive area of ​​effect (AoE) that is part fire, part physical. With access to these damage types, you can farm most high-density areas.

In addition to Carcass Blast, powerful curses such as Increased Damage and Resistance Drain are used, which lower the monster's resistances. This build is very fast at lower player counts, but can also be used effectively at higher player counts with appropriate endgame gear.

Gear

Helm: 2-Socket Helm with Lore Runeword (Location + Sol)
Armor: 2 socket armor with Stealth Runeword (Tal + Eth)
Shield: 3 Socket Shield with Runeword "Oath of Ancestors" (Ral + Place + Vale)
Weapon: 4-socket sword with "Spirit" runeword (Tal + Thul + Ort + Amn)
Gloves, Belts, Boots: focus on mana/regenerate mana/life/resistances/faster recovery after hits
Amulet, rings, spells: focus on necromancer skills, faster cast rate, mana/mana regenerate/life/resistances/faster recovery after hits and spells in the inventory

This gear is the minimum you need to play the Carcass Blast build effectively. The build relies on several stats to increase cadaver blast damage and range, as well as Faster Cast Rate to improve overall DPS. Life, Mana, Faster Recovery from Hits, and Resistances are also important to survivability and gameplay. The "Budget" gear listed above takes all of this into account, with the Runeword Shield alone providing good base resistances throughout the game. You cover any gaps with spells in the inventory.

Mercenary

Type: Act 2 Desert Hireling (Offensive) on Nightmare difficulty with Power Aura
Gear: Helm of the Tal Rasha set, 3 sockets (ethereal) armor with the Runeword "Treachery" (Shael + Thul + Lem), 4 sockets (ethereal) Polearm with the runeword "Insight" (Ral + Tir + valley + sol)

Your mercenary is a tank, damage booster, and meditation source (regenerate mana faster). The Helm of the Tal Rasha set grants great mercenary survivability.

In order to get a better ranking in the ladder mode, we need to complete the construction of this building as soon as possible. At this point we need to buy d2r ladder items, which can speed up our build.
