Guide to Necromancer Paragon glyphs
Diablo 4 has several rewarding things you can do once you complete the campaign. These things all give you experience, which instead of being spent on new skills, is spent on your character’s Paragon board. In the Paragon board, you can customize your character’s build by selecting nodes and placing Paragon glyphs.
Each class has its own Paragon Glyphs, some of which you unlock automatically and others you have to hunt down. Keep reading for tips on where to find Paragon Glyphs, a complete list of the Necromancer’s Paragon Glyphs, and which are the best.
How to get paragon glyphs
The magic glyphs of all your classes are automatically unlocked at level 50, but you must use the Rare characters. To get Rare Glyphs you need to pick them up as drops Elites and bosses (or rarely in a seller’s shop or chest). This means the most efficient way to get Paragon Glyphs is to farm Nightmare Dungeons due to their density of Elite enemies and guaranteed Boss at the end.

Best Paragon Glyphs for Necromancers
Necromancers have so many options when it comes to builds, and the glyphs reflect that by generally being niche in nature. However, Fearless is a great glyph for just about any Necromancer build. Several of the Necromancer’s Abilities, Aspects, and Unique items give them Fortify. When using this glyph, Fortify then further reduces your damage taken and increases your damage dealt. The only time this glyph isn’t useful is if you’ve built a Necromancer that somehow never got beefed up, and this would take some effort.
