Start with Summon Raging Spirits. Transition into Summon Skeletons and Raise Zombies. Support those main skills with minion life, minion damage, feeding frenzy, melee physical damage, melee splash. (or any other minion gem you come across). Necro is fine because Necro never was the problem, just gems like zombies, spectres, skellies and they are nerfed also Feeding Frenzy, but things like AW is fine. Level 1 1 point 8 days ago. Feeding Frenzy Support is a minion support skill gem. It changes the supported minion behavior to be aggressive, causing them to prioritize seeking enemies and killing them. It changes the supported minion behavior to be aggressive, causing them to prioritize seeking enemies and killing them.

Using these above additions (+ pantheon bonuses) you can reach over 280% movespeed. CRAZY.
If you want to go all out on speed, there is also a +15% movespeed chest you can wear, and also some nearby passives you can pick up to get you over 300%... I haven't tried it yet... but I will purely for the shits and giggles :)

Queen's Escape: It's cheap and gives great bonuses:
+1 Zombie
+1 Spectre
+1 Skellie
Because we run so fast, the minion speed is important so that they can keep up while still killing things!
Other Zombie builds (known for caring only about DPS) go all out on stacking as many zombies and as much damage as possible. You don't need more damage. Extra damage is a waste of currency, waste of passive points and a waste of time because you go slower. In fact, we clock up faster Uber Elder runs with our simple gear :) We, instead, get to an optimal level of zombies (14-15) without need for restrictive gear and then prioritise speed and defence (we reach over 15,000 Life/ES in late-game compared with 8-10k regular zombie builds)
Can also use a Chaber Cairn, Femurs Fur, or rare mace.

+63 to maximum Life

+1 to maximum number of Skeletons
Geofri's Sanctuary: Best in slot providing a tonne of ES when coupled with Shaper's Touch Gloves
Dusk Mantle Astral Plate: Life, strength, resists... bonus with the minion modifiers.
If you want to use ranged spectres, just swap in a Tabula or get any BBBGGR chestpiece. See Spectres section for more details on this setup. Alternatively you can put ranged spectres into gloves on a 4L (which is what I now do).
Amulet: Astramentis
-4 Physical Damage taken from Attack Hits
We want strength for Baron bonuses. Also helps with dex/int stats for gems such as Haste.
Oils: Anoint Death Attunement or Ravenous Horde
