Do the developers really dislike the necromancer so much??

By itself this change isn’t that big of a deal, but we don’t know what else was changed or fixed.
I imagine we’ll get more of these posts over the weekend. Overreactions are very common before a big patch. Gotta make sure to get all of the speculations, assumptions, and complaints out before ever trying anything new.
It makes for great entertainment if for nothing else.

I don’t know if there is anything I hate more about this whole game experience, more than people who can’t post links properly.
Oh wait, yes, Poison Pee pools that last for more than 3 minutes after the pee’r is dead.
But this link minigame, is a very close second.

Blizzard doesn’t help themselves with how they release information. This was not an unexpected change, but it was not included in the patch notes.
Something simple like, this is unintended so we’ve split the 3 minion mastery passives between chest, pants, and boots.
(We don’t know exactly how they’ll do it, but logically something very similar to that makes the most sense.)

How are necros being nerfed? They are looking like they’ll be S tier in season 4

It’s the fact you can’t have +minion mastery passives on all items now. I think it’s only available on 2 or 3 items total, so we can’t get the absurd numbers like we could in the PTR of +20+ to golem mastery for example.
Honestly I’m ok with this, I don’t think any skill should be reaching 20+ levels, but some people are outraged before the patch even hits, thinking this will drastically make them weaker. I’ve no doubt it’ll make them weaker then the PTR, but overall they’ll still be powerhouses in my opinion. Considering I got to Tier 73 in the pit without +golem mastery on all my pieces of gear, I was lucky to have it on one piece in the PTR, I think we’ll be fine.
Who knows though I could be wrong, won’t prevent me from playing a minion mancer though.

According to Rob, the “nerf” is not a big deal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94VRD0YpXyI
I wouldn’t trust PTR numbers as any sort of reference point. We know there are things like bugs being fixed and tempering values being changed but we don’t know precisely what any of them are.

Or at homeeeeeeeeee.
Here ya go, preformated text is an option on the forum in the text box.
There are a lot of other skills that can go into the 20+ rank realm. Consider that minion skills are not skills on the tree, you can’t put 5/5 ranks by default in them. You can put 3/3 ranks into the passives that is not much. While minions get damage increase from multiple sources because of this, the masteries are where a huge chunk of damage and surviveability comes from. Now we actually only have 5 slots where they can roll, all the armor peices infact, there are no masteries on the amy like all other passives. So let’s say we are lucky, and we will have 3 item slots to roll masteries on, IF we are even luckyer and find that roll, and it’s even a greater affix, and IF we are even more lucky and can masterwork and all critical masterworking rolls on the mastery, than we can have +5 ranks on it, and IF we are extremely lucky and can repeat this on the other items with the mastery on it, we can have 18 rank total on one mastery. So I personaly would not change that we can have them on the 5 armor peices, because it will be extremely hard and expensive to have the mastery affix on all the slots(max rolled by the way), have it as a GA, masterworking it 12 times, and have the 3 critical rolls fall on that specifik affix. Is UNREALIRSTIC. Maybe not for everyone, but for the majority of the player base it is. And it might not be a big deal if we will only have 3 slots instead of 5 where the affixes can roll, but it still sucks, that we don’t how many slots have been taken away, what to expect.
Maxroll still keep 3 necromancer as S-Tier after the Golem Mastery balance change. No build should be able to one shoot a T200 tormented boss while AFK.
You didnt get the memo? That will never happen. Most likely not a single person is doing Pit 200. Pit 150 will be the same as Abattoir of Zir 25. We are lucky if a Golem hits for 1B with all buffs once in a while after the PTR nerfs and that will be too weak for Pit 150.
Tormented bosses are the uber uber bosses, not the pit.
Better then making random posts that gets deleted cause they violate ToS
Look like you are not getting the memo. T200 tormented boss is not in PIT, check the PTR patch note on how to summon a T200 tormented boss.
Which class and build will have a lucky 1B damage after all this nerf in dust devil, winter glass, immortal sorc and bug Druid Bolder? 1B damage is considered a balance skill? Can you make 1B hit with bone spear, blood surge or blood lance when you are lucky?
