Every Unique gear piece for the Necromancer in Diablo IV are exclusive class items that you can find for perhaps the strongest possible gear. Acting as the next step above Legendary gear, Unique items are found from rare enemy drops. However, only a Necromancer traveling through the higher difficulty World Tiers have a chance to add these items to their arsenal for the perfect class build.
World Tiers 3 & 4 are the only places where your Necromancer can find their Unique items, which can be explored by finishing a Capstone Dungeon after the conclusion of the main story. World Bosses and Nightmare Dungeons are some of the most likely spots where there are enemies strong enough to drop Unique gear. Limited time Helltide world events in Diablo 4 also have Tortured Chests that could be unlocked for a possible Unique.
Every Necromancer Unique Item in Diablo 4
With eight total Unique items for the Necromancer in Diablo 4, you have a variety of tools to choose from that might compliment your class build. Although not every Unique item meshes into every build, the basic stat buffs and other passive effects on this gear give it high Item Power compared to other weapons, armor, or jewelry. Certain skill upgrades could also change depending on the properties of some Uniques, encouraging some light experimentation.

Black River |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Corpse Explosion consumes up to 4 additional Corpses around the initial Corpse, dealing [122 – 130]% increased damage and with a [21 – 25]% larger radius per additional Corpse. |
|
Corpses are a core part of any Necromancer build, with the Black River Scythe making these dead bodies twice as Volatile with Corpse Explosion. Already one of the most satisfying abilities in Diablo 4, being able to blow up 4 more Corpses in a larger area with even more damage can be an extremely useful ability to have. This item is especially potent with certain passives that create even more Corpses. |
|
|
Bloodless Scream |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Darkness skills chill enemies. Lucky Hit: Darkness skills have 100% chance to generate extra essence against Frozen enemies. |
|
Darkness Skills like Decompose, Blight, or Sever can be crucial parts to a Shadow Necromancer, making the Two-Handed Scythe Bloodless Scream important for that class build. Freezing enemies to Stun them helps against Elite enemies or even strong bosses such as Elias in Diablo 4. This weapon also gives you Cold Resistance, Life on Kill, and a bunch of increased Damage to Frozen or Chilled enemies to boost the Necromancer’s attack power. |
|
|
Blood Artisan’s Cuirass |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Picking up a certain number of Blood Orbs spawns a Bone Spirit, dealing extra damage based on your Life percentage. |
|
The Blood Artisan’s Cuirass is a Chest Armor that gives extra bonuses for those who are focused on surviving with the Necromancer’s Blood based skills. Blood Orbs form as a result of various abilities, healing you similar to Potion Charges in Diablo 4. The explosive Bone Spirit has the chance to be a devastating force of single-target damage when you stay healthy in battle, which is made easier through other boosts to Blood Orb Healing and Total Armor. |
|
|
Deathless Visage |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Bone Spear leaves behind echoes as it travels that explode, dealing [210 – 294] damage. |
|
Arguably, the best DPS Necromancer for Diablo 4‘s highest levels will likely be using a build revolving around the Bone Spear skill, making the Deathless Visage Helm one of the best tools to get for endgame builds. Granting buffs to Maximum Essence and Critical Strike Damage with Bone Skills, this Unique takes an already good skill and amplifies it even more. Those looking to travel other players in PvP could certainly use this piece of gear to gain a heavy advantage. |
|
|
Deathspeaker’s Pendant |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Blood Surge casts a mini nova on your Minions, dealing [84 – 126] damage. Damage is increased by 10% per target drained by the initial cast, up to 50%. |
|
Minions summoned through the Book of the Dead might seem weak in higher World Tiers, but the Deathspeaker’s Pendant Amulet makes summoner Necromancer far stronger. Blood Surge on its own is not too special of an ability in Diablo 4, but when combined with Minions it leads to excellent Crowd Control through this Unique item. |
|
|
Greaves of the Empty Tomb |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Create Desecrated ground beneath your Sever spectres, dealing Shadow damage over two seconds. |
|
The Greaves of the Empty Tomb Boots grant large Damage Reduction against enemies afflicted by Shadow Damage Over Time, making the desecrated ground from Sever have much more impact. However, an unexpected part of this Unique item in Diablo 4 is how it grants an extra Evade charge, giving a Necromancer more opportunities to dodge attacks. Since this class has lower health sometimes, this gives more chances for a character to stay alive. |
|
|
Howl From Below |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – Instead of detonating immediately, Corpse Explosion summons a Volatile Skeleton that charges at a random enemy and explodes. Corpse Explosion’s damage is increased by [30 – 40]%. |
|
For anyone searching for a truly new way to use Corpse Explosion, look no further than the Howl From Below Gloves, which transforms this Skill into almost an extra Minion summon. Giving a boost to Corpse Skill Attack Speed, Necromancers have the option to raise this Volatile Skeleton to explode for huge single-target damage over and over. This Unique gear item is perfect against bosses in Diablo 4, taking out large chunks of their health through the explosions. |
|
|
Ring of Mendeln |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Unique Item Effect – When you have seven or more minions, gain Lucky Hit: 10% chance to empower your minions, making their next attack explode for extra damage. |
|
By far the best Unique Ring for summons, the Ring of Mendeln rewards “true” Necromancers, giving Minions a chance to land a new type of destructive attack. Buffs to Minion Attack Speed and Lucky Hit Chance, combined with a huge boost to Maximum Minion Life, come together to best empower any undead warriors. Every Necromancer Unique item in Diablo IV that you find should serve to take a build to its strongest point like this Ring does. |
