Diablo 4 offers several ways for players to enhance their stats, gear, and skills through Legendary Aspects. While General Legendary Aspects are available for all classes, there are also Legendary Aspects tailored specifically to Necromancers.
Necromancers have various popular builds, like the Bone Spear or Sever Shadow, which means there are several Aspects that are best for each build, as well as ones suitable for all Necromancers.
