Poison SRS Necromancer League Starter

The Poison SRS Necromancer is a well-rounded beast that excels at bossing and here you can find the best guide for the build that possess both high damage and excellent defenses.With its multiple defensive layers, high life recovery and a high max hit pool from an early stage of the game, very few other minion builds can compete with it defensively.The Early setup with a 6-link The Covenant is capable of killing all Uber bosses.There are two ways to scale this build, the Trigger Wand Setup provides better early defenses, higher overall quality of life and superior Minion survivability. On the other hand, using United in Dream with Arcanist Brand provides better damage at low investment.
