No. Flails are crusader only. This is not a crusader.

>>379079983
Say what?

He should have been in the game in the first place instead of that dancing monkey the witch doctor.

Probably gonna check 2 new areas and that's about it.
Also, interesting how much they gonna charge.

He was underwhelming as fuck during the beta, so not hyped at all.

>>379080416
We all know he's going to be overpriced as fuck, like $15.

I saw the beta and I am not impressed but I will get him anyway for nostalgia sake and do full campaign run as Necro. In best case they made him "self-aware" of retarded mess of a plot D3 had since Crusader did some sharky comments if I recall correctly.
And him and monk are the only male version of a heroes which sounds better than the female ones.

>>379082274
That's insanely wrong it's hilarious. There's plenty of things to not like about Diablo 3 you don't need to lie. Command skeletons gives you 7 and they last until they and even then they will replenish. Revive lets you summon a bunch of enemies, summon golem lets you run around with a giant freak, and there's also skeleton mages.

Is the Diablo 1 mode still coming?

It's weird since they acknowledge that there is a lot of bloat when it comes to abilities like the DH for example. Their mindset was to make as little bloat as possible for necro.

Left one looks more "realistic", with a bulkier breastplate, armor over his knees, and a codpiece, he have the face of a madman. Still dark fantasy with the skull as shoulderpad and shit. - That's so metal/10

Newer looks too light, with armor over the fingers, so you can't properly grab your weapon and an useless shoulderpad over the skull, to restrict his movements and no codpiece (guess he's transitioning MtF anyways), he have the face of xXxShepirothxXx. More or less gay anime fantasy design. - Now that's edgy/10

It was abyssmal. Youre really better off not knowing what it was

I'll give you as best an answer I can give

D2 is flawless, D1 is also up there but aged, still solid. D3, haven't played the PC version since beta but wasn't impressed HOWEVER I think it has some merits as a mindless dungeon crawler on >console

PoE is... I can't even describe how I feel about it. It feels like a loose, cheap imitator. Also, as a lorefag (D3 being fanfiction notwithstanding) PoE just has nothing interesting going for it, at least to me. At least D3 has throwbacks to something cool.

Diablo 2 was amazing for a while but its aged like milk now.

>>379089631

Cute, but skeleton necros are way too passive for the game's rules. Occasionally casting amp damage or decrepify and occasionally skeletons when they die or get lost doesn't constitute as engaging gameplay. Maybe if it was possible and even necessary to micro your summons it would be interesting.

All of you fags have such a hateboner for D3 anyway that it doesn't matter. If they made a skeleton build but balanced it accordingly you fags would claim it's too boring, or if it didn't literally play the game for you, you'd complain you can't clear grift 70+ with it.

So all in all, who the fuck is this guy in the end?
Is he meant to be Diablo 2's Necro, or Diablo 3's Necro?
Because he's part of the death lord cult shenanigan that the D3 necromancers are meant to be.
But he has the knowledge and quotes of the D2 necromancer.

Did they retcon the D2 necro to also be part of the whole BALANCE BALANCE BALANCE DEATH business?

>>379106626

he's the necro that's more fun than the d3 necro

that's all that's important to know

>>379106626
HotS is a mess and a shit casual game, but somehow seems like all the talent left in blizzard is in their team. Heroes in their game make fun of the other nu-Blizz games and they don't stupidly censor their women.

>>379106626
He's the Necromancer PC from D2, his kit is a mix of the D3 and D2 versions to cover their bases so they wouldn't have to make two necromancer heroes and D2 Necro's "iconic kit" ala million skeletons would not translate over at all into a MOBA format, so we got Xul's current form.

>>379106626
The D2 necro was always about the Balance between good and evil.

And yes, Xul is the D2 necromancer. Just like Cassia was the D2 amazon. It seems like they're going to go in with the story that diablo was defeated by all the player classes banding together as a party.

>>379107068
>million skeletons would not translate over at all into a MOBA format
And yet, he got more (temporal) skeletons than D3 necro, lol

>>379107068

I guess it being a mix explains why they cared enough to make the
>No, no. The scythe is also new to me. But I find it quite fitting.
quote, and why he gets mentioned in D3 as an NPC that is clearly not the PC.

>>379107305
Well, Xul (with talents ans skeleton ult, can have 10 total units on the field

D3 Necro can have 7 skeletons, 10 skeleton mages, and a golem

So, I guess you're wrong?

Oh great it's another thread with a bunch of people who played hacked/rushed D2 for 12 hours in the early 00s and are self-proclaimed D2s superfans and experts on why D3 sucks.

>>379107803

Considering how Blizzard likes to jump on a genre bandwagon five years after it's peak popularity, how likely would a Dark Souls-esque Diablo sequel interest the average person?

Diablo Soulstone maybe? Could set it during the Sin War or just make it a direct sequel to D2 and generally pretend D3 never happened.

I fucking can't stand games that do this, it's so much better when a game keeps the numbers tight and humble. You don't need hundreds of millions to make a player feel 'epic', a good game can make you shit yourself in excitement just because you did 10 damage in one hit.

You can't set the game to max difficulty until you beat the campaign... so you're either a liar or an idiot. You pick.

Torment is noticeably harder than earlier difficulties.

I never said that. Just asked why D3 doesn't suck. And, since you didn't answered, I'll assume it really sucks.

BTW, they only "genre" more casual than ARPGs are slots machines.

If you guys really enjoy the summoner playstyle I have to recommend MedianXL. I'm playing a summon necro and I have around 30 or more minions on screen at any given time and more is definitely possible. I can summon Leoric from D1 who then summons more things when he scores a kill. Shit gets nuts.

>>379089696
If you can appreciate the old low-res sprites, it's arguably still the best ARPG in existence. It has pretty much any desirable feature that any competitor offers other than multiclassing in Titan Quest/Grim Dawn (but that's a +/- thing, not necessarily a good thing), unless I'm forgetting something.

>>379089969
http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Priests_of_Rathma
Necromancers aren't generic evil mages in the Diablo lore; they're priests of a deity (Rathma) that represents true neutral-style balance. Some of their methods are questionable in most cultures (reanimating the dead), but the necromancers fight to preserve Sanctuary's existence and independence from both Hell and the High Heavens. The good/bad axis in Diablo is more along Order/Chaos than Good/Evil, though demons are definitely evil and angels are closer to good than neutral. Some angels would have humanity enslaved or destroyed for their self-determination and potential to cause chaos— this is why the Priests of Rathma are arguably the most righteous faction in the Diablo lore.

Like it matters though. I'm sure people will be lining up no matter the price. They could charge $29.99 and a bunch of people would buy it because people like throwing money at Blizzard.

It plays more like a mage than a summoner.

A new character can't save this game. Everything from 99% of the items in the game being unusable to farming for hours on end and finding nothing killed this game. Do you know how you gear up in this game? Through that stupid fucking cube.
