INTRO
Bone Necro has some very welcomed added utility and dimention on Reimagined when compared to retail D2R, with the main aspect of it being the Energy synergy the bone spells have.
This leads to 2 main ways of building the char in my opinion.
The most straightforward and easy way to build is with the set. The set gives high amounts of stats and Bone Spear skill levels, and ties everything with Energy Shield oSkill (that while it wont get you nowhere close to being chonky as a Sorc with it, still provides more than enough of a survival buffer on a class that already has plenty meatshields protecting it). Its the more defensive way of building.
Second, since Teeth buff the spell is viable to use as a cleaning tool, now you can build for it as well. While nothing prevents you of just using this spell with the Maadi's set, I like going for it with a more regular gearing simply because you can reach even higher damage with it with the super strong uniques available. You are more vunerable than with Maadis, but its not like you are super tanky anyway, You will have to mind your resists and HP more.
LABS will be the real trial out ground if these builds can survive with a heavy energy-skew bend or not. For current content though, they make do just fine.

PROS AND CONS OF PLAYING A BONE NECRO
REASONS TO PLAY A BONE NECRO
- Cool gear considerations and stat allocation juggling during leveling.
- Very interesting ‘glass cannon’ build-oriented in its mentality, but that is actually very safe.
- Very active playstyle.
REASONS NOT TO PLAY A BONE NECRO
- If leaning more to Bone Spear, the clean speed is not the greatest.
- Extra glass cannony if not going for Maadi's.

3 Bone Spear/Spirit LCs are the perfect fill here. Specially since they come with Vit/Energy. Other skills if they let you save points are good too. Skillers with life are decent. -5 enemy res if still needed, but shouldnt.
