Bone Storm “Tornado” Necromancer – Season 10 Infernal Hordes Guide (Diablo 4)

The “Tornado” Necromancer is shaping up to be one of the strongest builds in Diablo 4 Season 10, especially for the new Infernal Hordes mode. With screen-clearing damage and explosive scaling, this Bone Storm-based build is ideal for shredding Torment 4 and farming efficiently.

Let’s break it down.

 

Why This Build Works

• Screen-wide destruction: Bone Storms fill the entire battlefield with deadly shadow tornadoes.
• One-shot potential: Tornadoes can kill before enemies even attack.
• Solo carry potential: You can literally AFK-carry 3 teammates.
• Ultimate + Core hybrid: Using Chaos perks, Bone Storm becomes both a core and ultimate skill, unlocking multiple scaling benefits.
• Top-tier for Infernal Hordes: This is the farming build for Season 10.

 

Core Mechanics

⚙️ Chaos Perks

To make the build work, you need:

• Alter the Balance: Converts Ultimates into Core Skills and vice versa. This makes Bone Storm spammable, which is a core skill.
• Decimating Desecration: Your DoT effects (like Shadow) have a crit chance-based trigger for double damage.
• Crazy Brew: Insane attack speed = more tornado spam.
• Optional:
• Marred Guard: Extra armor if you’re dying too fast.
• Alternating Alterations: Extra scaling for pushing content or Pit 100+.

 

🧠 Skill Setup

• Bone Storm: Your main damage dealer. Shadow-tagged through aspects.
• Corpse Explosion (Blighted): It is not used actively; it is taken just to tag it as a Darkness skill.
• Blight: Adds multipliers and synergy for resource/corpse generation.
• Utility skills: Fit Darkness-tagged ones to benefit from bonuses.

 

Book of the Dead (Sacrifices)

Minions are fully sacrificed for max damage output.

 

Gear & Aspects

🦴 Must-Have Legendaries:

• Lidless Wall: Active Bone Storm hits can spawn additional Bone Storms.

• Sacrificial Aspect: More crit/overpower after sacrifices.
• Starless Skies: Reduces cooldowns on crit hits – vital for smooth loops.

🛠️ Gear Stats to Prioritize:

• Attack Speed
• Crit Chance (aim for 100%)
• Crit Damage
• Overpower damage (optional, for pushes)

Skill Tree Highlights

Diablo 4 Gold Farming with Tornado Necro

One of the hidden benefits of this build is how efficient it is for Diablo 4 gold farming. Whether you’re clearing Infernal Hordes or pushing higher Pit tiers, you’ll be earning gold, legendaries, and mats at a blazing pace.

If you aim to earn gold in Diablo 4 Season 10 without spending real money, this is easily one of the best builds.

 

Paragon Boards & Glyphs

Suggested Glyph Order:

1. Abyssal: Boost non-physical (Shadow) damage.
2. Dominate: General damage boost.
3. Scent of Death: Buffed this season—boosts survivability/damage.
4. Bloodbath: Crit damage scaling.
5. Sacrificial: Bonus from having no minions.
6. Bone Graft: Increases max Essence = more Bone Storms.
7. Wither + Control: Shadow DoTs + crowd control = more multipliers.

 

Playstyle

1. Activate Bone Storm → Tornadoes flood the screen.
2. Trigger Corpse Effects/Blight if needed for procs (mostly passive).
3. Watch enemies evaporate.
4. Re-cast Bone Storm thanks to resource-on-ultimate, Starless Skies, and Lidless Wall procs.

 

Bossing Example: Bartuc

In the Season 10 showcase, Bartuc—the new Infernal Hordes boss—dies almost instantly to this build. The tornado spam burns him down, even with shields up, before you can see his HP.

 

Notes on Nerfs & Limits

The creator expects potential nerfs:

• Likely nerf: Cap on Bone Storm tornadoes (e.g., max 6–7).
• Still viable: Even with a cap, you can position tornadoes to cover spawn points for constant value.

 

Summary – Why Play This Build?

• Insane screen-clear power.
• Low interaction – just keep Bone Storm active.
• Best-in-class farming for Infernal Hordes.
• Still pushes high-tier Pits with slight tweaks.
• Top-tier S10 build overall, not just for Necro.
