#Diablo 3 review update
#Diablo 3 review free

Outside of the character you donвЂ™t get much else here. If youвЂ™ve got no interest in leveling a brand new character in Diablo 3, for $15 the Necromancer is a pricey piece of content. The thing is, a lot of the great new stuff in 2.6.0 is free. ItвЂ™s definitely something that will keep you tackling challenges in the Adventure Mode and Rifts. This includes four class-exclusive sets with different themes for the character.

For those that are going to dig deeper into the Necromancer character, there have been new items added to the game for that class as well.

#Diablo 3 review update

The latest update added Challenge Rifts and Realms of Fate on top of what was already a pretty rewarding system of rifts and challenges in the Adventure Mode that Reaper of Souls introduced. ThereвЂ™s just so much to do in the game at this point. Taking the Necromancer on a test drive through the game was a lot of fun, trying out different builds and checking out the new zones added to the game almost got me re-hooked on Diablo 3. In some builds I felt that the Necromancer felt a lot like a Demon Hunter, but with dark arts at their disposal and with the ability to cause a lot more chaos. The end result of a fully leveled Necromancer can be a lot of different things depending on how you like to play. Leaving corpses in its wake, the Necromancer can blow up dead bodies that function what is essentially like detonatable explosives that are littered throughout the battlefield. The Necromancer also uses Blood Magic as a powerful force to control the battlefield. So, like every character in Diablo 3 youвЂ™re gonna need to learn the right balance of what to use and when. The summoning features can make the character feel somewhat overpowered at times, but youвЂ™re constantly trying to replenish you Essence as well to keep using these powers. Being a caster, itвЂ™s also got plenty of curse spells to loosen up enemies before the battle even begins. This class can summon undead creatures to its aid - Giant golems, a group of skeleton warriors, or mages can be called in for support. ItвЂ™s got some really interesting mechanics in the skill tree that make it feel quite different than the others as well. A caster class by default, the Necromancer can be customized to fight from a distance or up close and personal. Playing the new character, the Necromancer feels like a blend of many in the current roster. ThereвЂ™s an abundance of blood, especially in these two new zones, and makes you wonder whether Blizzard shelved a full-on expansion for this character and storyline at some point.

The Moors and The Temple of the Firstborn are free with the update, but some of the aesthetic looks like it was inspired by the new character. Instead, the DLC really doesnвЂ™t delve too much into the what and why of this new character like they did with the Crusader class in Reaper of Souls.Д«lizzard leans in heavily on adding a little bit of content in the update that somewhat ties into the new characters with the addition of a couple new zones found in Act II of the Adventure Mode. It sounds like something that they couldвЂ™ve certainly built a bigger expansion around.

Originally the offspring of a union between an angel and demon, this Priesthood was formed to step in to intervene when humanity is in danger of an imbalance between the two fundamental forces. They preserve the balance between light and darkness. The Necromancer character in this DLC are called the Priests of Rathma. The crying shame of it all is that the character has a big backstory according to Blizzard. So, with this review weвЂ™re trying not to think about the price and really take a look at this new character. The new character is great, but $15 is a lot to ask for just that.

Unfortunately, itвЂ™s really hard to judge this content on a вЂњis it worth itвЂќ basis. If you own Diablo 3 itвЂ™s free, but it youвЂ™re heading back into the game for the first time in awhile, youвЂ™re gonna notice some big changes so weвЂ™re gonna talk about those as well.
