There has not been much feedback about how to buff necromancers. There is a thread by LordFluffy with suggestions.

Necro Change Suggestions By Lord Fluffy

As you guys know, I’ve pretty much been exclusively playing/streaming necro since it’s release in Season 11. Over the course of that time, the 3 biggest feedback/complaints I’ve heard about the necro are the following: Thorns is over-performing/necro push builds are lame Not only is thorns too strong because it takes advantage of game mechanics but it feels very dull for a few reasons. Passively doing damage solely based on getting hit is a fairly boring playstyle. You’re fishing for elit…

For barbarians, the consensus is to:

1. Remove area damage from hard cast rends. This suggestion has the additional benefit of reducing server lag.
   OR
2. Reduce the rend damage modifier on lamentation.
   OR
3. Reduce the waste set modifiers (in particular the 2 piece bonus
   OR
4. Give rage flip an internal cooldown. This suggestion potentially would impact the 4 man meta.

For crusaders, the main suggestions are:

1. Eliminate stutter stepping
   AND/OR (likely and)
2. Reduce AoV set bonus or restrict its strength relative to heaven’s fury
