Corpse Explosion Necromancer Mercenary

Since the Corpse Explosion Necromancer build requires corpses, we should avoid cold-based mercenaries that can shatter the corpses of enemies.  So for the choice of mercenaries, we can choose between Defiance or Might Aura in Act 2 Desert Mercenary, they can make corpses for explosive warlocks and can also serve as tanks.

In Diablo 2 Resurrected, we used CE's primary damage for a large Area of Effect Fire and Physical Damage, which is a great build to farm the Cow Level or areas with a high density of enemies. If you need more d2r items to build this character, you can buy cheap d2r items here with safe and fast delivery.
