While these will take some time to get, many of them are worth having in your collection. Several of these affixes will make your legendary equipment feel much more potent throughout your adventures.

  • Splintering Aspect (Guulrahn Slums, Dry Steppes): Bone Spear’s primary attack makes enemies hit beyond the first Vulnerable for 1.5s. Bone Shards from Bone Spear deal 50% bonus damage to Vulnerable enemies and pierce them in Diablo 4.

If you unlock Splintering Aspect early, it will serve you well through the initial portions of your adventure across Sanctuary. This Diablo 4 Codex of Power entry makes enemies Vulnerable and makes your bone shards do bonus damage and pierce. As you’ll likely be spamming it a lot early on, why not make it as potent as possible?

Each season of Diablo 4 also brings new Codex of Power entries to each class, and the Necromancer is no exception. Sometimes, these affect specific builds, and other times it’s more general power for the class - something it’s lacking during that season. Many seasons of the game will offer new and updated abilities for players to seek out - as those come to the game, we will update this accordingly.

One interesting thing that has begun happening across the game’s seasons is that some of the new Aspects are only found on Legendary items, such as Aphotic Aspect. Players will have to find the right items, and salvage them, then get them imprinted onto their gear as normal at the Occultist.

  • Aphotic Aspect (Salvaged from Legendary items): Skeletal Priests empower your Skeletal Warriors’ attacks to deal Shadow damage and have a 5-20% chance to Stun enemies for 1.5s.
  • Aspect of Decay (Salvaged from Legendary items): Each time the Shadowblight Key Passive deals damage to enemies, it increases the next Shadowblight’s damage within 10s by x25-45%, stacking up to 5 times.

I’m a big fan of Bursting Bones and Plunging Darkness in multiplayer settings. Both of them enhance Bone Prison. The first deals AOE damage when a part of the prison’s destroyed. The second throws down a pool of Blight in the prison. This pins down and constantly harms foes trapped within its walls.

You also have Blighted Aspect for your Shadowblight Key Ability in Diablo 4. One of my favorites is Unyielding Commander’s Aspect, which buffs my minions while Army of the Dead is active.
