![]() Loot itemization is also a departure from really all past games. It takes some getting used to but ultimately feels fine, if not a bit confusing at first. But changing, say, a specific modifier for a single skill between two options in the tree is instant and cheap, like switching a skill rune in D3 with a tiny cost (which I did not actually figure out until hour 25). Changing your core skills can get pretty expensive as you have to subtract skill points to get all the way back to earlier skills from late-game ones as the tree winds downward. It’s a merge between Diablo 2’s “if you pick one skill wrong at the start your entire build is screwed” and Diablo 3’s “change anything at any time for free.” It’s not free to respec it costs gold, and more and more gold as time goes on. The skill system is something I’m not quite done wrapping my head around. With Necromancer, I actually felt a bit overpowered on all difficulties with my infinite skele-tanks and casting crap at enemies and bosses alike from relative safety. I’ve avoided Barbarian, who will be my first launch character. In addition to my Necromancer here, I put a good amount of time into Druid and Rogue in the betas. Gameplay feels very similar to both past Diablo games in different ways. I’ve already had a blast going through transmog with my limited farmed selection of gear. Fresh detail has been put into your hero specifically, between the character creator and some really beautiful work on the armor and weapons this time around that will greet you each time you log into the game. Washed-out, bloody, but still in many areas, grotesquely gorgeous. I think D3 got unfairly maligned in that regard but, yes, this is pure D2. We are back to the bleak, gothic horror of the second game. What we see here is an attempt to marry the best aspects of both Diablo 2 and 3, and I’d say it mostly succeeds. Except, perhaps, the story this time, one that held weight for me in a way the past games didn’t. If you have previously found the series overly grindy, and repetitive and endless farming holds no appeal for you, there may not be much to change your mind here. It’s nice to see the Necromancer class return, and even though it may be overpowered, it is a blast to use.It is easy for me to say that if you like Diablo 2 or 3, you will like Diablo 4. Those who don’t own the game but want it, getting the Eternal Edition is your best bet, especially now while it’s being offered at a discounted price. For those who bought the Reaper of Souls- Ultimate Evil Edition prior to the release of the Eternal Edition and are just basically getting started, it’s not a bad pick-up, especially if you just want to have fun and wipe out everything in sight without much worry. So is this DLC worth your 15 bucks? For the most part, I’d say yes, though if you’re currently playing through the campaign or adventure mode with an established character you could wit until a possible price drop. Essence needed to use your abilities can only be gained by action, so it’s worthwhile killing everything you come across, whether by weapon, ability, or springing a trap. You may not be exactly invincible, but you never really need to worry about your health, either. Outfitting with the best armor, accessories, and weapons only make the Necromancer all the more unstoppable. I had no trouble at all with early bosses that when I played with Demon Hunter gave me some measure of challenge. Using them in conjunction with Corpse Explosion had me breezing through crowds of enemies. This was especially true once I could summon a squad of skeleton warriors to accompany me and I had Blood Siphon. ![]() ![]() The character starts off fairly balanced, as most do, but it didn’t take long for my Necromancer to feel overpowered and like an unstoppable force. Abilities include having spikes burst from the ground, blood siphon, the ability to summon a golem, and the very fun Corpse Explosion. The Necromancer comes packed with some fun to use abilities and can use weapons like swords and axes. The pack also includes a non-combat pet, cosmetic wings, Necromancer themed Banners (including shapes, sigils, and accents), a Necromancer portrait frame, a pennant, two additional character slots, and two additional stash tabs (this last item is PC only and not available for the console versions). The Rise of the Necromancer Pack allows players to use the Necromancer class in both the Campaign and Adventure modes.
