Really enjoyed Necro pet build during both BETAs, skeletons get 1 shot at every boss encounter and you cant summon without corpses and even with Hemorrhage they dont spawn fast enough to keep any skeletons up. Summoning more than your limit use spawn a mage that buffed and healed your minions but that doesnt even do anything now. Tried to increase minion life through gear and didnt really help. Trying to fight Ashava like this was impossible.

What level are you? I am having no issues with it. I actually like it better now that it is not super OP like it was before. I actually have to watch my minions to see if I need to summon new ones.
There are constant posts that this just isnt true, you are doing something wrong. I know its not what you hear but I suggest reading more forums to learn. I see this is your first post, welcome and I hope you improve.
I made it max lvl for all betas
most classes feel like they where nerf to the level of how the druid power of 17 dmg
This is flat out a lie.

This is not my first post. I know what I am doing. Funny that today there has been constant reviews about the Necro nerfs, even my friends that played previous betas are saying the same thing
People are struggling because they refuse to adapt to the changes.
Skeletons are no longer immortal. Adjust your playstyle accordingly and you’ll have little issue.

The average player is not very good at the game. Gives things like raider io a reason to exist as the average skill is very low.
Got my necro to level 15 because I wanted to give it a chance but these dam minions die too fast. The heal you get if you’re max out with your minions is trash too. It’s better to let them die and rez a new one at full health than waste all the corpses to “try” to heal your minion. Blizz swung that pendulum a little to far to the other side and now my minions are weak.
They are even dying to same level mobs which is pathetic and I hope they get buffed a bit. Not asking the OP level we were in last beta but meet us half way please.
that means they are not worth using. There is no adapt. They are either tanks or good damage dealers. And they are not good damage dealers cause they don’t live long enough to do damage compare to other corpse skills.
Facts don’t care
Necro pet build is really punishing, Pets don’t live very long and when you don’t have any it just sucks.
It’s not. Just figure out how to not let your pets die so they can actually do the damage and CC they are good at. Not sure what build you are using. I use my reaper skeletons to generate additional corpses along with my essence generating ability. I’m playing shadow and turned my corpse explosion into darkness damage and it just melts everything in the radius before my minions have a chance to die. They do take damage so they eventually do die (since I can no longer just summon a new one to replace a low health one), so I just have to watch their health and know when I need to summon them again.
There are a few bosses that are bit more tricky since they don’t have as many adds to generate corpses quickly and the minions are squishy, but I have only found one boss that I found difficult enough (on veteran) to bring in a friend.
Other than that 1 boss at lvl 16 that I struggled with, I haven’t been having any issues. I’m not even using a fancy theory-crafted “perfect” build from the internet either. Just a patched up, “I want to try this out for beta” build I made on my own (without actual gear), and I am not having issues (on veteran).
Necro is fine. Kripparian says it’s one of the highest damage classes still.
Get gud.
