Welcome to our Diablo 4 Necromancer Aspects Guide. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Necromancer’s class-specific Aspects.
Legendary Aspects
Legendary Aspects hold unique powers that can greatly alter your character’s abilities. Currently, Legendary Aspects can also be added through two main methods:
- Aspects can be extracted from Legendary Items via the Occultist
- First-time completion of specific Dungeons that also reward you with the Legendary Aspect via the Codex of Power
