Necromancers in Diablo 4 are one of the two classes to get new Uniques in Season 7. Necromancers and Sorcerers are the ones getting the most love in the coming update. It’s certainly an interesting choice, as I’ve always thought Necromancers were powerful, but it’s a choice I’m certainly keen to see in action. In the coming season, each class is getting updates for specific build types, and these Uniques are going to help amplify those.
It’s worth noting that the stats or features of these new Uniques for Diablo 4’s Necromancer class are subject to change. A PTR is coming in early December, and the feedback could lead to updates.
What are the new Uniques for Diablo 4’s Necromancer in Season 7?
Diablo 4’s Necromancer will be getting a pair of amazing Uniques in Season 7 - Indira’s Memory and Kessime’s Legacy. These are both equipped in the “pants” slot, so you, unfortunately, cannot get both benefits simultaneously. Moreover, both of these pieces of gear influence how your Blood Wave affects the battlefield, which is exciting on its own.
Indira’s Memory potential stats
- Casting Bone Spear Reduces Blood Wave’s Cooldown by 2 seconds.
- +[88.0-115.0]% Overpower Damage
- [21.0-30.0]% Damage Reduction while Injured
- [16.0-25.0]% Maximum Life
- +[2-3] to Tides of Blood
- Blood Wave is additionally a Bone Skill that spawns a Bone Prison at its endpoint and increases your Blood Skill damage by [40-80]%[x] for 8 seconds when cast. Bone Spear is additionally a Blood Skill and will drain 10% Maximum Life each cast after hitting an enemy to consume a surrounding Corpse and launch one new Bone Spear from it.
That’s such an interesting piece of gear. If you want to go Bone/Blood on your Necromancer in Season 7, this Unique is going to be a must-have for you. Unfortunately, we don’t know which boss it will be linked to yet, in terms of target farming. Still, it sounds like it could result in massive wave-clearing potential.
Kessime’s Legacy potential stats
- Casting Blood Wave Fortifies You for +85% Maximum Life
- +[218.9-300]% Ultimate Damage
- [9.5-14.5]% Damage Reduction while Fortified
- +[25.8-34.9]% Chance for Blood Wave to Deal Double Damage
- [15.9-25.0]% Blood Wave Cooldown Reduction
- Blood Wave now forms a wave on each of your sides. Both waves converge at your feet, Pulling In all surrounding enemies and exploding for [X-X] damage. Each time an enemy is hit by a wave, they take [5.00-1.00]% more damage from your Blood Waves, up to [150.0-300.0]% in total.
Conversely, Kessime’s Legacy just takes your Blood Wave’s power potential and cranks it up to 11. You get more Fortification/Damage Reduction after casting it, along with minimum double Ultimate Damage, a chance for its damage to double again, and even more damage increases each time a wave hits an enemy.
This Unique is going to turn Blood Wave builds into a literal bloodbath and I believe this is the one my Necromancer’s going to hunt down in Season 7.
