Core Skills

Reap (Basic Ability)

Your starting point for Diablo 4 Items this build is Reap, which provides a solid damage-dealing ability while simultaneously offering you Essence regeneration and damage reduction. Reap will not deal the most damage, but its utility makes it invaluable in this setup. It serves as your primary method of generating Essence, which is crucial for unleashing your more powerful abilities like Blood Surge.

Why it works: Besides giving you Essence, Reap is a reliable AoE tool that will hit multiple enemies at once. The bonus of damage reduction makes it an essential skill for survival in tougher fights.

Blood Surge (Core Ability)

Blood Surge is your primary AoE damage dealer. After building up Essence through Reap, you'll unleash Blood Surge to devastate groups of enemies. This ability scales with your Essence pool, meaning the more Essence you generate, the larger the explosion, and the more damage you can deal.

Why it works: 

With proper Essence management, Blood Surge can clear large groups of enemies quickly or deliver devastating bursts of damage to single targets. This is your go-to skill for high-damage output, and it should be used strategically to maximize your DPS.

Summons: 

Skeletal Warriors and Mages

Your summons play a dual role: tanking and damage-dealing. Skeletal Warriors are your front-line tanks, soaking up damage while you stay safe at a distance. Skeletal Mages deal additional ranged damage, adding to your overall DPS while giving you support in Diablo 4 materials large battles.
