No Necromancer? NOOOOOOOOO!

So it seems they removed Necromanacer from the game. It's unlikely that it will be there, since there is this lame Wich Doctor who does all the same things.

This is supposed to be GOTHIC fantasy! This means dark, grim and dense style. Necromancer is THE most gothic class of all and my favorite.

Wich Doctor is some dude from jungle who uses voodoo and stuff. It might be original, but who in western culture want's to be black guy covered in leaves? ^_^ I wan't to be a Necromancer!!! Pale, thin, smart, antisocial, EMO and GOTHIC.

Agreed. However, I will still be mainly playing the Witch Doctor as it's the closest thing to a Necro - debuffer and summoner, even if he's really a Paladin covered in leaves :P.

Re: No Necromancer? NOOOOOOOOO!

New games have new things added to them. LoD had Assassin and Druid, D3 has this Witchdocter among others.

I am disappointed that the necro has gone, but I am sure that I will find another aspect of the game appealing!

Re: No Necromancer? NOOOOOOOOO!

I'm not happy about the leaves either. What is this guy supposed to look like in full plate? See, this was the same problem with the druid and assassin. They look very silly and out of place once you put heavy armor on them.

Obviously, I have nothing agains additions. However, I have something against removing most fun of all classes.

Necromancer was so great, since he had very rich gameplay. I'm thinking about fishymancer here. He had dozens of summons: golem, skellies and revives. He had many curses. At least I had one point in every curse and almost all of them had fun use. He had cool AOE spell - CE. Every battle was a huge crowd fight, like in a RTS, with you in the middle.

I think it's to early to judge it. Maybe we are wrong and Necromancer is there! If many people request it, they might add him in an add-on.

Guys don't worry were still 7 light years away from release. If the community is vocal enough I'll bet we'll get the necromancer back

IMO I like it. It's I think it'd be good to have a change. IMO I think they will release necro at the expanstion because SO many people seem to want it.

Re: No Necromancer? NOOOOOOOOO!

I doubt we'll see straight up necros again, it just struck me we might actually get a class based on each of the old acts:

Act 1 - Ranged specialist.
Act 2 - ??
Act 3 - Witch Doctor
Act 4 - ??
Act 5 - Barbarian

I'll cry if we wont get any mages (100% offensive caster).
