| Playing through campaign again in years. Having a blast! Posted: 19 Jun 2017 01:31 PM PDT Reading all those books again, watching all the videos, taking my time and experiencing the story with a trusted hero. Man Diablo 3 is such a good game if you take your time and look closely. [link] [comments]  | ||
| In the interest of setting expectations to a reasonable level... Posted: 19 Jun 2017 05:00 PM PDT Below I've copied one of my comprehensive feedback posts on general necro issues from the beta forums. This is as-is, from a couple months ago. In quotes I will leave updated thoughts or impressions as necessary: General Class and Philosophy Feedback - long What a wonderful opportunity to be invited to the beta test! I have to say I really like almost everything about the necromancer so far. The art is wonderful, the skills are interesting and thematic and definitely have a dark, visceral feel. Additionally the sets, skills and items have added exciting new ways to play. My personal favorite right now is the way Plague set + The Johnstone interacts with Land of the Dead... and I've got high hopes that the Blood set will eventually give us a build centered around stacking vitality and life% in a meaningful way. That said, there are certainly some stray nails sticking out of the coffin which need to be hammered down. Here's my take on general issues with the class and the design philosophy. I don't necessarily think that ALL these issues need to be addressed for the class to feel 'done'; this list describes something that is 'perfect' - a standard which is never really achievable.
Too much stacking There is just too much stacking going on overall with the necromancer. Damage reduction, movement abilities, affixes, sets, passives - everything stacks, many with short durations that feel questionably useful. It's just too much on balance, and makes the class feel too snowball-ey. Inadequate Damage reduction Overall damage reduction feels too poor and unreliable. Damage reduction is hampered by stacking mechanics, a poor ability to avoid being hit, and a weakness to CC due to having no CC breakers and CC immunity existing only on long cooldowns. The extent of this problem is currently being masked by ultra-high damage builds which can kill mobs and RGs too quickly for DR to matter. Anecdotally, I was using the Inarius set in a GR45 (T10) with the neck that increases bone armor stacks, the belt which increases DR from Decrepify and the ring which increases DR depending upon remaining life. So that's 3 DR items and 2 skill slots (Bone Armor and Decrepify) dedicated to DR and when I got to the rift guardian Perdition he one-shot me over and over. I could have tried for 3 hours, it wouldn't have mattered; he was completely unkillable, a 45GR rift guardian. That is the state of Necro damage reduction right now.
Limited and inadequate movement Movement options are too sparse for the necromancer, and do not address all the movement needs of a character in D3.
Some suggestions to address these issues:
Crowd control woes Crowd control is punishing. This is true for all classes, but the necromancer suffers more right now because of issues with limited combat movement (ability to avoid) and inadequate damage reduction. Additionally, the CC immunity that is available is tied to extremely long cooldowns, and there is no CC break ability at all.
Too much resource management/too many spells to target cast Necromancer has a lot to manage. Both Life and Essence must be actively managed, pets must be managed and recast, corpses must be clicked near, and curses must be cast in addition to managing cooldowns and dodging spells. I believe all of this interaction is a bridge too far and instead invites frustration and automation. To give two examples - I absolutely love everything about Corpse Explosion - Final Embrace, but finding the time to cast it while also spamming spenders and avoiding attacks is tricky, plus the life cost requires active healing management. Second - when using Devour it is more beneficial to the player to use numlock autocast and pick the most powerful rune instead of using the aura rune. I think this is problematic design. Suggestions:
Pets and sets do not support each other adequately The necromancer is supposed to be the 'Commander of the Dead' but this fantasy is in jeopardy. Only one set provides a bonus to pet damage skills. Pet skill actives, passives, and durations do not adequately support the goals of the other sets enough to warrant choosing them over generator, corpse, or curse skills. If pet skill damage is not buffed by sets and if pet skills and abilities are not closer aligned with set playstyle goals then 3 out of the 4 sets probably won't use any pets at all. Suggestions:
Curses/Generators/Channeling are not broadly supported by sets Curses likewise are not mentioned by any set bonus, which feels like a missed opportunity to support a core thematic element. Generators also are only supported by one set bonus, but because there is no passive Essence regen generators are used more frequently for necro than other classes. Thus generators should be more broadly supported in set mechanics and especially damage bonuses. Finally, Necro has only one channeled skill, Siphon Life, which is a generator and cannot proc Mantle of Channeling or Taeguk. Has channeling fallen out of favor with the dev team? This is the second class in a row with no channeled spenders (Crusader has none either).
Please share your thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Try and avoid hyperbole as much as possible to keep the discussion realistic. TL;DR - Necro is a fun class, but if people go into it expecting the polish they see from the other classes and sets I am worried their expectations will not be met; thus the reason for this post. Appreciate what is there, worry not what isn't and you'll be okay. For casual players I recommend sticking to the Rathma and Inarius sets this season - they are the most well-rounded. Blood and Plague sets still need a little bit more iteration. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Fanart (Diablo I) "Moreina 2" by Artemis Morgan Posted: 19 Jun 2017 07:07 PM PDT http://artemismorgan.deviantart.com/art/Moreina-2-687427124 Hey, I painted Moreina (before she became Blood Raven) from Diablo I. I have this whole head-canon about Moreina and Kashya that has absolutely no grounding in any reality whatsoever, but this head-canon has turned Moreina into my favourite character from any Diablo game. There's also a link to the painting process in the image description, if anyone is interested in that. Anyway, thanks for your time! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Questions for those who played the Necromancer on the PTR Posted: 19 Jun 2017 04:41 PM PDT Hey there, I never got an invite to play on the ptr :( I was just wondering what the necromancer played like, does it feel fluid and comfortable to play? I saw that the Haedrigs gift will be the pet set for the necromancer - are the pets derpy or is the AI alright and how active is the necromancers playstyle with this build - is it comparable to the Diablo 2 variant of a summoner necro? How do Necromancers feel when pushing? From what I understand they use life when casting spells, do they have any good passives etc to help with their survivability? Thank you in advance for taking your time to answer :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| tech support- help me with random freezes for about 10 secs Posted: 19 Jun 2017 04:46 AM PDT I am writing this here because i've tried sending blizzard a ticket and nothing happens and i've tries numerous things online and none of them helped me Ok here it goes: my game freezes for about 10 seconds at random times I've found a video online that shows a similar problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjGjbP_D5D4. I believe that it's not an FPS issue because when the game doesn't freeze it's constantly staying at above 150 FPS and even in the busiest zones it never drops under 60. I've been looking online for solutions but none of the suggested ones seem to do it for me Here is what i've tried: Set priority of the game to realtime in the task manager, set affinity to 1,2,3 and all 16 cores, Force Vsync and trilinear buffering from the nvidia control panel, uninstalled nvidia experience, Stop the game sound, set max foreground fps to 60, 144 or remove the limit all together, Tried borderless fullscreen and windowed mode as well, Edit: The issue is resolved. I was playing the game with sound off just music. When i turned the sound on as well it ran like a charm for 3-4 hours this solved it for me i have no idea what is the game coding but it sounds super insane that something that requires more from your machine would make it work better. Thanks to all of you kind folk for spending your time on my issue and have a nice day of killing the hordes of hell! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Are there any Diablo progress blogs? Posted: 19 Jun 2017 06:00 PM PDT I was just wondering if there are any blogs run by players showing/discussing their progress through the season. I thought it would be interesting to see other's views over a longer period than just a snapshot of it. Would it be something you'd want to read, or is it just me? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Do we know the names of the player characters from D I / II / III? Posted: 19 Jun 2017 03:30 PM PDT As in, the Necromancer from D2 is Xul (I think?), and he's also in HotS. Do any others have names, or are they just "Nephalem"? 🤔 [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 19 Jun 2017 06:49 PM PDT Could anyone enlighten me on how the feel of these two sets differ? Does the rathma set feel more like the D2 summoner? Do you feel like anything is lacking from either that the other has? Just curious, pretty hype. The necro will naturally offer other builds as well but it feels like these two sets are very similar compared to what we have at the moment. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Bought the game 3 weekends ago Posted: 19 Jun 2017 12:21 PM PDT Really only play on weekends cuz of my job and my baby. Running Ulianas set EP/Seven Sided Strike. Can't get the Lions Claw or The Fist of Az'Turrasq if my life depended on it. Was switching to the Innas Set EP build I still have two more Innas set to get but already have the staff. Anyways now that you guys know the backstory I have no clue what to put in my Kanais Cube for the Legendary Power. Tried reading some stuff on it I think I understand it just looking for suggestions from you guys. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Seasonal character transition? Posted: 19 Jun 2017 12:33 PM PDT I read the "Season ten is ending soon" and understand Season 10 ends this friday and Season 11 starts on July 23rd. I get how gear will transfer. What I didn't see answered is WHEN do season characters transition to regular? Does that happen Friday at 5? Downtime the next day to make it happen? Or do those characters go into timeout for the next month while we wait for S11 to start? I assume its friday but wanted to check. [link] [comments]  | ||

| DH M6: Zoey's Secret + Garwulf vs. Zoey's Secret + Unity Posted: 19 Jun 2017 08:01 AM PDT Hi, everybody. This is my first time seriously going for the stash reward in a season, and as I'm running out of time I want to make sure that I make the best decisions. Currently, I'm refining my build a bit, and a significant question has come up. It's possible to wear Unity with an undying follower or to wear Cloak of Garwulf in a Marauder's Build (via a Ring of Royal Grandeur) to increase the damage reduction of Zoey's Secret. Which setup provides better toughness? I understand that the Unity setup would multiply with the Zoey's Secret reduction rather than add to it, but beyond that I'm not confident in my calculations, so I wanted to ask you all. However, here is my attempt: Zoey's Secret with 7 companions (raven, spider, bat, boar, 2 ferrets, wolf) = 7 x 9 = 63% damage reduction. Unity halves the remaining 37% damage, leaving 18.5% damage to impact you. Zoey's Secret with 9 companions (raven, spider, bat, boar, 2 ferrets, 3 wolves) = 9 x 9 = 81% damage reduction, leaving 19% damage to impact you. Unless I'm making an error or misunderstanding how to calculate this, it seems like a toss-up, with the caveats that two extra wolves make for useful crowd control and that your follower would have room for an additional legendary affix that might be significant for utility or damage. Given this, I would probably choose Garwulf over Unity. There are other considerations, though; I'm not sure yet about the Endless Walk set vs. Bastions of Will, and assuming a cubed Convention of Elements bonus only the Endless Walk provides room for a Ring of Royal Grandeur. Still trying to figure all this out, but having a clear answer about Garwulf vs. Unity would be a very helpful step. Can anyone confirm my toss-up conclusion? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Been out of the game since Season 2, what have I missed? Posted: 19 Jun 2017 05:30 AM PDT Friends and I are getting back into the game. I haven't played since S2 I think, what is new? I vaguely know of something called ancients and kanai cube, and I'm sure all my builds are hideously outdated. Anyways, what have I missed and where should I start from here? Plan to get back into it before the Necromancer release so I can grind one of those out to level 70 and start gearing it up. [link] [comments]  | ||
