Anoint options
- Decay Ward: early anoint it is very cheap and helps with minion survivability.
- Vigour: more expensive self defense anoint.
- Death Attunement: allows you to have one extra spectre
Jewels
We’ll be exclusively using 
Ghastly Eye Jewel as they provide minion related modifiers. Thanks to Darkness Enthroned we can put our best jewels in there to further scale those modifiers.
Jewel Modifier Priority List:
1. Minions Have x% chance to poison (till you are capped)
2. Life
3. Added flat physical or Chaos Damage to your Minions (worth the same)
4. Attributes and/or Resistances if needed
You will have mana issues getting a jewel with this mod will fix it!
For those who prefer their math more visually, We have a graph.
When you get in the late 90s and are looking at the multiple cluster set up you can get 
Forbidden Flame and 
Forbidden Flesh! The jewels allow you to gain and extra ascendancy node from your class’s options. With this build we add Plaguebringer. The unique thing about how the Necromancer tree is set up is that we can actually get the Jewels for any of the ascendancies we take, besides mindless aggression, and just path the other way.
Flasks
Divine Life Flask – You will want to get your bleed and corrupting blood immunity from this flask.
Silver Flask
Amethyst Flask
Gold Flask
Quartz Flask
Ideally you would have 2-3 charges gained when hit by an enemy on each of your utility flasks, this will help with uptime. For suffixes they want reduced effect of chill, movement speed, reduced effect of curses and you can craft rarity at the crafting bench on the last one.
Animate Guardian
The Animate Guardian is a bit tricky and we strongly recommend watching the initial video for this build guide as well as this in-depth guide for the Animate Guardian Ghazzy also has a written guide you can find here.
For the exact gear to put on your Animate Guardian, please see the itemset “AG” in your respective PoB.
NOTE: Make sure before you start using your Animate Guardian the Gem Level is at least 19.
Spectres
Starter Spectres
- Carnage Chieftain/Stygian Silverback: Grants frenzy charges to allies. Found in the Riverways Act 2. You will want to have two of these until you buy your ritual corpses.
Ritual Corpse Spectres
- Perfect Conjuror of Rot: Casts Malevolence
- Perfect Warlord: Uses Enduring Cry / Casts Vitality.
- Perfect Guardian Turtle: Owner gains 5% Physical Damage Reduction / Casts Determination.
- Carnage Chieftain/Stygian Silverback: Grants frenzy charges to allies.
- Perfect Pain Artist: Casts Zealotry
The third Spectre is only used in the min/max setup and requires a Level 21 Spectre Gem, +1 from ashes and a Level 4 empower to hit Gem Level 25 to be able to summon it.
You can anoint Death Attunement for your last spectre.
