Our pick for the best Necromancer build in Diablo 2 Ladder Season 4 is the Poison Nova build, which excels in one thing, dealing tons of damage over a massive area. It does this by using Poison Nova and Corpse Explosion, which all dish out Poison, Fire, and Physical damage, all in one rotation, while also using Sunder Charms to break enemy resistance down and give you an in to deal massive amounts of damage.
Amplify Damage, Lower Resist, Conviction Aura, and Sunder Charms, lower the resistance to almost any immunity possible. And combined with Poison Nova and Corpse Explosion, which deal their types of damage, means that any creature regardless of their immunity to unique sources of damage will be eating the dirt.
