Necromancer tier list

Endgame push (Pit / Torment) - Season 14, Lord of Hatred - last checked 2026-07-06.

Tier	Build	Why	Sources
S	Blood Wave Necromancer	Still the top Necro build despite this patch's nerfs, though margins are tighter than last season.	Icy Veins (Jul 4, 2026) GAMES.GG (Jul 5, 2026)
A	Golem Necromancer	The new home for Necro players after Banished Lord's Talisman got gutted. More relaxed, minion-focused playstyle.	Icy Veins (Jul 4, 2026) GAMES.GG (Jul 5, 2026)
A	Bone Spirit Necromancer	Solid single-target and boss farming, benefiting from the new Mythic system's crit damage scaling.	Icy Veins (Jul 4, 2026) GAMES.GG (Jul 5, 2026)

Left off this list, on purpose

Naz Mages / Minion Necromancer - Icy Veins ranks a summoner build (Naz Mages / Mendeln Summoner) S-tier for endgame push, but GAMES.GG says generic Minion Necromancer 'falls off significantly in endgame Pit pushing.' Not clearly the same build under two names, and the two sources actively disagree on summoner necro's endgame viability - held back rather than picking a side.
Cold Sever Necromancer / Cold Army of the Dead / Blood Lance Necromancer - Single-source mentions (Icy Veins only), not cross-verified, and none map cleanly onto an existing library build.
