Many felt the class was an iconic part of the Diablo experience, and given the game's initial reception, it felt as though an expansion bringing the Necromancer back to gamers was never going to happen.
One of the most popular classes in past Diablo games, the Necromancer was another sticking point for fans who were unhappy with the initial launch of Diablo 3. Diablo 3 was heavily criticized at launch for nearly all of its features, ranging from what players felt to be a shallow story, a weak end-game, and a terrible implementation of a real-world auction house - and yet its most recent release, the Rise of the Necromancer expansion, has been met with mostly praise from that same community.įor those who have stuck with Diablo 3 over its turbulent existence, the introduction of the Necromancer must feel like a moral victory at this point. Don't look now, but Diablo 3 is making a strong case for itself as one of the biggest video game comeback stories of all time.
