If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a true commander of the undead, this Wolf Golem Necro setup is where it’s at. Instead of leaning on the usual corpse explosion or bone spear spam, the whole thing revolves around building a nasty, hard-hitting army that never lets up.
Your skeletons do the bulk of the work, while the golem stands tall, soaking up hits and smashing through packs. With the Diablo 4 gold you’ve invested in gearing, you’ll keep them buffed and in the right place, turning every fight into a one-sided beatdown. It’s all about keeping the pressure on, making sure your minions are hitting the right targets, and using their special attacks to keep the corpse supply flowing.
The backbone of this build is Raise Skeleton with the Reapers upgrade. These guys are more than just extra bodies—they’ve got a wind-up swing that can carve out corpses mid-fight, which fuels the rest of your kit. For your big frontline, the Bone Golem is usually the go-to. It taunts enemies, soaks damage, and even drops corpses when it sheds bone chunks. If you’re after more sustain, Blood Golem’s damage absorption can be a lifesaver. Skeletal Mages? You’ll sacrifice them for a passive boost—extra shadow damage or crit damage—so you can focus on fewer units but with way more punch.
On your bar, you’ll want skills that keep the field under control. Corpse Tendrils is a must-have—it pulls mobs into a tight bunch, stuns them, and makes them Vulnerable. That’s perfect for lining up your golem’s slam or letting your skeletons chew through them faster. Decrepify is your curse of choice, slowing enemies and giving you cooldown reduction every time your minions hit something cursed. That means more Tendrils uptime and faster access to your ultimate. Speaking of which, Army of the Dead fits the theme perfectly—summons a wave of explosive skeletons, wipes packs, and instantly brings back your whole crew if they’ve gone down. Great for bosses, great for elites, just pure chaos.
Gear-wise, it’s all about pumping your minions. Aspect of Reanimation boosts skeleton damage as long as they’re alive, which is basically always if you play smart. Hardened Bones cuts the damage they take, letting them stick around longer in tough fights. Grasping Veins pairs beautifully with Corpse Tendrils, giving you a huge crit chance and crit damage spike when enemies are caught in the pull.
As for stats, cooldown reduction is king—more casts means more control. Minion attack speed and health keep your army dangerous and durable, while Intelligence boosts overall damage. Don’t forget your defenses too—armor and flat damage reduction go a long way when you’re pushing higher tiers. With the right setup, your undead will feel unstoppable, and with a bit of Chaos Armor in the mix, you’ll be ready for whatever the game throws at you.
