Guess who’s getting a Necromancer class this year! If you said Diablo III, well, I can’t tell you you’re wrong because that’s also happening. But I’m talking about Grim Dawn.
“Although they primarily engage in the weaving of magic, necromancers are aptly equipped to enter the fray in close quarters, or to weave their death magic into ranged weaponry. Do not for a moment think that a cornered necromancer is easy prey,” Crate posted following a lore dump on the new class today.
Players should look forward to a number of masteries currently in development, including Drain Essence, Raise Skeletons, Necrotic Edge, plus skill that help you “shatter the souls of your enemies to conjure violent wraiths,” “bolster your minions with necrotic powers, “fill the battlefield with disease and rot,” and generate “cruel new ways to dispose of your pathetic enemies.”
The Necro arrives with the expansion, which is still expected to arrive before summer and bring a level cap bump to 100, expanded stash, and a new story chapter.
