No, the Necromancer isn’t coming to Diablo III any time in the near future, but Blizzard did want to show off some of the class’ skills and give a brief update on the progress of the ARPG’s newest class.
The Necromancer will use both melee and dark magic attacks as she decimates the battlefield. Some of the skills (shown as animated GIFs) include Grim Scythe, Blood Nova, Devour, Raise Golem, and Leech. The team is also putting the final touches on the female Necromancer model.
To answer the most pressing questions for any Diablo III fan, no, Blizzard isn’t quite ready to announce the price point of the class pack or a specific release date (although the studio said that it’s aiming for the second half of the year). Prior to that release, the Necromancer will be put through her paces on a special public test realm.
