Bonds of C'Lena give another 100% damage increase and allow Army of the Dead to deal 50% extra damage to a single target.Fate's Vow is the core Army of the Dead item, giving a 250% additive damage bonus to that skill and enabling the Unconventional Warfare rune for all setups, improving single target damage.Jesseth Arms gives you a massive 400% damage bonus that synergizes well with the Command Skeletons you're already using.Skeletal Mage s don't work for this set bonus. Theoretically this can be boosted to 31,500% with Command Golem, although that's impractical. 7 come from Command Skeletons and 10 from Revive. The Bones of Rathma set adds a total of 29,750% damage bonus to Army of the Dead when you have 17 minions active.The core guide describes the solo push variant but you can find all of the variants further below. This role was further enhanced by the Season 27 update that reworked Funerary Pick, which consolidated the many different variants into pretty straightforward, similar playstyles around Siphon Blood. On the other hand it rewards you with massive damage and works as a formidable Rift Guardian Killer (RGK).

This build is relatively slow, extremely Cooldown-hungry and has little toughness, all of which makes it difficult to play. Instead of the 120 seconds cooldown this ability usually has, you are able to cast it once every few seconds to keep up a near continuous stream of damage. The build revolves around summoning a bunch of minions that reset your Army of the Dead cooldown very quickly through the Bones of Rathma (2 ) Bonus, which you use to mow down enemies. While the Bones of Rathma set gave the name to the famous 'Rat Runs' (and the ' Rat Necro') that have been dominating the XP META almost entirely since the introduction of the class in Season 11, it was reworked for Army of the Dead in Season 23.
