If you think about it, a Seneschal Companion is the perfect buddy for a Necromancer. They are machines, after all: no life there! Here are the best Necromancer Seneschal Construct builds in Diablo 4 Season of the Construct.
Diablo 4: Best Necromancer Seneschal Construct build
With the new Seneschal Companion, Diablo 4 Season 3 builds have one more variant to consider. And since both Governing Stones and Tuning Stones will alter the behavior of your Seneschal, you can customize it to fit your favorite build. Necromancers position themselves steadily on the top of both leveling and endgame tier lists, so crafting a matching Seneschal for each of the Necromancer builds should not be an issue, and more often than not will share Stones between builds. Here are the best Necromancer Seneschal Construct builds.
