Necromancer overview
Necromancer is one of the three Acolyte masteries in Last Epoch. Your mastery is a permanent choice made partway through the campaign, so it is worth picking with the season in mind.
Season 5 rating
The editorial list we used does not rank this mastery. Community builds for it still appear in S tier on other lists, so treat it as viable.
Acolyte changes this season
- Summon Bone Golem cooldown is now 3 seconds (was 10) and its mana cost is 30 (was 35).
- Flay's Blood Eruption subskill base damage was fixed from 2 to the intended 40. This is a bug fix, not a buff.
