Diablo 4 Path of Trag'Oul Necromancer Boots

Bone Prison traps a larger area and fires a volley of Bone Splinters at the enemies trapped within it. Each time one of those Bone Splinters hits an enemy, your Maximum Essence is increased by 2 for 10 seconds.

A large number of splinters hitting many trapped targets means the Essence bonus refreshes constantly. For a build that spends Essence quickly, the boots turn a defensive cast into both damage and extra resource room.

Bone Prison is a Macabre skill of the Necromancer with a cooldown: it unearths a prison of bone that surrounds the target area for several seconds. Its upgrades include ones that return Essence or reduce your cooldowns for every enemy trapped. Bone Splinters, whose name the boots borrow, is the Necromancer's Basic skill, which fires a spread of bone shards. The boots always drop with Skill Ranks to Bone Prison.

Two Bone Prison upgrades from the game data pair well with the boots: Essence Generation (casting it generates 50 Essence, and 25 more when a Boss is trapped) and Cooldown Reduction (0.5 seconds off your active cooldowns for each enemy trapped, up to 5 seconds).

• Slot and class: Boots, usable by Necromancer.
• Fixed affixes: it always drops with Primary Core Stat and Skill Ranks to Bone Prison.
• Where it drops: in the loot table of Duriel, King of Maggots, a Lair Boss found at the Gaping Crevasse, east of Gea Kul in Kehjistan. The fight needs Torment 1 or higher, and 1x Greater Lair Key opens the Hoard after the kill. Greater Lair Keys come from defeating Initiate Lair Bosses.

• Torment I difficulty unlocked.
