S28 Season Restore Necromancer 'Command Skeleton' and Pet!

Hello everyone!

Since it is the last Season before D4 and that you want it to be famous.

  • Can you please restore previous Necromancer Build to there former Fun and Glory since they are not even as strong as the most powerfull one in S27-S28.
  • You can also make the Necromancer what it should be, a pet master and a classe that allows many, the most numerous different builds possible and fun.

More choices to have more fun for normal and expert players!


Please Restore and Update previous version of Items that has been thrown in the Abyss:
[Necromancer]:


→ ##### [Bone Ringer] #####: Put it to :
“The damage bonus of Command Skeleton increases by 200% (Instead of 30%) per second they spend attacking the same target. This effect stacks up to 60 times.”

  • Add a counter to inform players about the skeleton Timer or Stack, it would be better. It’s also the case for The ‘Bane of the stricken’ stacks Legendary gems… Pleaseeeee.

It won’t break the game but add older builds possibilities which were fun in the game, Skeleton will beat monsters faster than before instead of letting us waiting forever without the ability to beat any monsters and still being poorly weak.

It will restore a true Necromancer technique that could be used in many other Set of Classes either with LOD, With Trag’oul, with Inna mainly… It would be nice also with Rathma if you restore and update it, see above.

The current use of skeleton is like useless at all and they never do any damages which is bad and not fun at all.


→ ##### [Bloodsong Mail] #####: Don’t let that cool item rot in Hell:
“While in land of the dead, Command Skeletons deals 400% (Instead of 125%) additional damage and gains the effect of all runes except the ‘Kill Command’ rune which if selected benefit from all runes and triple its damage on explosion.”

All runes will then be usable since ‘kill command’ don’t strike as often as other. Because they burst in explosion. It will restore many possible builds that would be very fun, different and not that super strong, not that super fast.

Either has pseudo slow boss killer, or bursting builds, large slow but good trash killer…
Let us a chance even small to do higher tiers solo and in group (140-145 wow even 150) not faster than other build even very slowly but with our skeleton and or army either with or without thorns…

→ ##### [Mask of Scarlet Death] #####: Don’t let that nice item rot in Hell:
“Revive now consumes all corpse up to 10 corpses maximum to raise a minion that deal 500% (instead of 150%) more damage per corpse. Revived minions no longer expire but can be destroyed. Revived minions benefit from the purgatory rune.

This modification will help us to have a usable Revive skill, most of the time even with Necromancer passive to extend duration of revive minions they just disapear as soon as you created them. To get the maximum number of Revive monster all at full power is almost impossible if you don’t use ‘Land Of the Dead’. Uppon that, Revive minions are just cranky, don’t move, strike slowly for no damage so they are just and best used as meat shield for Thorns build where they acn’t expect to shine like Skeleton.

Rework the item so we can just use it correctly on various build.
I would add up something else if possible on a dedicated or existing item:

  • An Elite Tracker effect: “Revive minion tracks all Elite monsters and minions and strikes them to death first before other monster. Revive minion can pass through any effects or monsters to access their targets.”
  • A Rage Effect: “Revive minion are reincarnate with a magic rage effect. There actions and attack speed are triple and their damage are increase by 300%.”

→ ##### [Defiler Cuisses] #####: Don’t let the best items rot in Hell:
“Your bone spirit damage is increased by 2000% every second it is active and will also freeze enemies on impact. (Restore) Maximum of 15 or 30 seconds.”

The game interface don’t allow us to click far monster beside moving to get a very short diagonal so please be serious 2000% per second and boost it like it was long time ago for player that like its fun.
Let us play the game even as casual players and have joy on it by adapting the numbers first and speeding up the whole and the numbers after.
Let us a chance even small to do higher tiers solo and in group (140-145 wow even 150) not faster than other build even very slowly but with our wonderfull ‘Bone Spirit’…

Please add up 2 information to the ‘Defiler cuisses’ or on a bracer for example ‘Bond of C Lena’ to allows us to finaly do two types of Bone spirit build:

  • [Sniper Builds Type]: It is what we want the most, One big Hit not that fast (but faster than now) or too slow and booom, lot’s of fun and joy for players! Please, Add Up large area of effect!!!
  • [Killer Builds Type]: It is less fun but good for farming with spam of ‘Bone Spirit’! Like on previous PTR with Rathma build for Bone Spirit, do you remember?

Additional Text on ‘Defiler cuisses’ or on a bracer for example ‘Bond of C Lena’:
– Add Up: “If you don’t use Land of the dead skill [to launch countless (around 15 to 30) Bone of spirit]; Your damage on Bones Spirit is increased by 5000%”. = ‘SNIPER’.
– Add Up: “If you use Land of The Dead Skill [to launch countless Bones of Spirit] your damage is increase by 200%.” = ‘KILLER’.


On the rathma Necromancer Set:
OK! You specialized it in its current form for ‘Army of the dead’ skill spam; all the army of the dead minions (Skeleton, Revive Monsters, Golem, Skeleton Mage) strike uselessly without damage on demons while only giving some cooldown refresh for ‘Army of the dead’ skill spam and some defensive wall.

The build of 'Army of the dead is interesting and actually good not that strong but good.

  • Can you please restore the previous version of Rathma while keeping its current behavior, i mean, just let Rathma Set add up damages for any undead minions and spirits: (Skeletons, Skeleton Mage, Revive Monsters, Golem, Bone Spirit).

Many cool playable builds would be so nice to have back in the game that way and you would respect far more the initial gameplay that was customizable in Diablo 3 instead of only specialized limited build possibilities. I will keep playing Diablo 3 as well as I will play Diablo 4 but please for the fan, think about it.

On the rathma Necromancer Set:

(2) Set Bonus:
“Your minions (Not only permanent one) reduce the cooldown of ‘Army of the dead’ and ‘Land of the dead’ (Yes restore it back from previous test PTR) by 0.50 seconds each time they deal damage. Your Skeleton spawn faster, your skeleton mage duration is double and your revived minions no longer expire.”

  • So with that we have an army of undead minions set bonus, a real one that could be used with other set as a 2 pieces bonus eventually, if you help us to do so.

(4) set bonus:
“Keep the same as before and add up 6000% damage bonus for ‘Command Skeleton’ and ‘Revive’.”
(They really need that at least).
Add up:
“Keep the same as before and add up 200% damage bonus for ‘Army of the dead’.”
‘Bone Spirit’ Automatically benefits from the Unfinished business Rune, restore one charge on hit and get it’s damage Triple (+ area double if possible)."

Add up on the 4 or 6 pieces bonus:
– ‘Skeleton’ Automatically benefits from the ‘Dark Mending’ Rune and get it’s damage increade by 300%.
– ‘Revive Monster’ Automatically benefit from the ‘Purgatory’ Rune and get’s it’s damage increase by 400%.
– ‘Skeleton Mage’ Automatically benefit from the ‘Gift of Death’ Rune and get’s it’s attack speed Double.

(6) set bonus:
“Each active minions (Not only permanent one) increase the damage of ‘Army of the dead’, ‘Bone Spirits’, ‘Skeleton’, ‘Skeleton mage’, ‘Golem’, ‘Revive Monster’ by 1800% (instead of 1750%). (Don’t set a maximum of 31500% or compute it to be higher.)
The bonus is not applied if ‘Army of the dead’ and ‘Bone Spirits’ are used at the same time.
The bonus is double if ‘Army of the dead’ and ‘Bone Spirits’ are not used and only minions are used: ‘Bone Spirits’, ‘Skeleton’, ‘Skeleton mage’, ‘Golem’, ‘Revive Monster’”.

That would be a real Army of the dead SET concerning the army of the dead skill and also all that army including minions, monsters and spirits.

It will allow the same set called Rathma Army of the dead Set to do builds with either [Army of the dead] Skill, either other Skills without [Army of the dead] skill.

It shall allow specialized builds on real “army of the dead minions” builds and also specific “undead spirits” builds with Bone Spirit Skills builds or “Revive monster” builds.

Well exactly the Necromancer that has to be in Diablo 3 using all skills and not only a small part of them.

Can you do it?
I mean seriously that’s doable and really fun, it would add up so much good stuff to actually play as casual, as normal player or as expert player. We coul could be all happy to play Necromancer.

Thank you for the reading.

Bone Spirit projectile speed needs to be far bigger, to be any relevant.
