A Summon Necro should be about managing buffs on minions & debuffs on enemies, not re-summoning a minion every few seconds because they are 100% useless and can’t take any hits.
A Summon Necro is fun because you feel like you are managing a army. We don’t want to be forced into a caster role, D4 already has a Sorc…
And the priest is also broken, it’s better to leave the minions die and bring them up again than to waste a corpse with a priest which won’t heal at all.
You also get wrecked by the bosses as there are not enough corpses around to sustain even 2-3 shield skels, even when maxing the corpse spawn skill and using the decompose or the scythe.
You sacrifice skill slots and powerful skills in order to be wrecked while you could do blood, bone and explosion in the first place.
There’s no point in spending points into minion skills anymore but for those two skills that buff the sacrifice option of the book of the dead.
I agree. This necro sum feels so bad.
If you want to have sums you need to Press “raise skeleton” all the time, as they only need 1-2 hits to die.
I just don’t feel it.
And I also don’t really understand people saying “wait for late game” or “you have only 20lvl” when this was main issue with barb and druid being weak at early, and getting changes so players can actually have fun, not waiting for late game.
It’s been the most disappointing re-balance experience I’ve ever had in a beta. Truthfully, there is no damned way they tested this garbage.
Without trying how they performed in Torment, and based on their death rate against bosses on the previous weekends I could have accepted around 20% less life, but now it’s like 90%?
There’s no way a minion Necro can scale up to Torment now, so they are basically forcing you to play the caster necro.
i prefer melee than casters in all rpgs… but necros aways stand out because they are summoners…
the problem with d4 is the summoner build sucks… and there’s no death knight or paladin… only an obese druid and a barbarian…
i’m just… i dunno man, losing hope i guess
what about witch doctor or monk? “they werent in d2 so you cant have em”
why not… they were cool classes?
This is bad logic, because Rogue wasn’t in D2 either, so where’s my Zon?
i guess assassin isn’t close enough to rogue?
Rogue is like a hybrid between a bad take on a bowazon and half a trapsin. You don’t get any of the evade or jav skills from zon, Rapid Fire is like a much worse version of Strafe, you don’t get any of the martial arts from sin, and the traps are missing the fire and lighting traps.
Canceled my preorder the nerfs they’ve made are atrocious
