Diablo 4\u2019s Bone Spear Necro minion tweaks guarantee \u201csummoners are so back\u201d Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4\u2019s Season 4 PTR just got underway, but players have already decided that Necro minions feel viable again thanks to Bone Spear improvements. At launch, Diablo 4\u2019s Necromancer class seemed a tad overpowered, enough that Blizzard deployed nerfs to balance out the experience. That\u2019s changed over time, though, with Necro mains arguing for the last several months that the class\u2019 minions have become far too weak, with even endgame builds feeling lacking in many respects. Season 4 promises lots of change in this regard based on patch notes for the PTR. And with the PTR now live, players have been able to put said changes to the test. Thus far, the verdict is mostly positive. With a short gameplay clip, Reddit user itsRobbie_ demonstrated just how much Diablo 4\u2019s Necro minions will improve once Season 4 officially arrives. Because of the tweaks to minion-centric builds, Bone Spear Skeletal Mage minions now deal damage that scales with the player\u2019s output. The Redditor outlined a few more noteworthy changes in the replies. For one, \u201cskeleton mages hit very hard in general on the PTR,\u201d which addresses long-running complaints about weak minions. In addition, the player related that \u201cskeleton mages cast bone spear fully benefitting from all your skill points and aspects.\u201d This should be a boon for players who have the likes of Splintering Aspect equipped. One drawback the poster mentioned is that users will likely have trouble keeping their minions alive. \u201cThey kill themselves really f***ing fast,\u201d they wrote. How well the improved Necro minions fare in the long run remains to be seen \u2013 but, as one Diablo 4 player commented in the thread \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s looking Necro will be S tier next season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
