This is a Necromancer build that uses the full Naj’s Ancient Vestige set, focusing on Poison Nova for AoE damage and Fire Golems for tanking/immunes. It utilizes an Act 1 mercenary with Pus Spitter to enhance your Nova’s damage output and save skill points. Indeed, with Naj + Pus you save the points on Blood Wrap and on Lower Resist, allowing for a hybrid build.
Keep in mind that this isn’t a great late game build. PD2 doesn’t promote hybrid builds, and Naj is still pretty bad, so you should use that until you have the HRs needed for infinity (if going fire golems) or Death Web and Bramble (if 100% nova). It is still viable (~4 to 5 minutes Chaos+Dia without Torch/anni), so you can try that.
Focus on acquiring the full Naj’s Ancient Vestige set + Pus Spitter. It’s relatively affordable and provides a good foundation for the build.
Keep in mind that Naj’s staff is rlvl 78 so … you need something else before that.
The rest is probably going to depend on what you find, because if you can afford an Arach, then you probably should switch to an end game build (100% psn nova or 100% fire golems).
Skill order: 20 Poison Nova, 20 Desecrate, then level both Fire Golem and Mastery, and finally last PN synergy (dagger).
Chaos Sanctuary is my go-to location. This build excels in areas with high monster density.
You could also go Skellies + Mastery instead of Fire Golems + Mastery. You could also go Mage Skellies + Mastery instead of Fire Golems + Mastery. Both options work. None is better than Fire golem. And anyways Revives are probably the best solution, this build was an attempt at doing something different!
