Last Epoch players praise devs for \u2018nailing the essence\u2019 of Diablo 2\u2019s necromancer Eleventh Hour GamesLast Epoch fans are praising the devs for the game\u2019s necromancer class, claiming \u201cNo ARPG since Diablo 2\u201d has \u201ctruly captured the gameplay and essence\u201d of Necromancers. Last Epoch has had a rocky official launch, with players review bombing the title on Steam after server issues resulted in downtime. But, despite the hiccups, there\u2019s been a lot of positivity for the new ARPG. Even long-time Blizzard fanboy Asmongold chimed in with his two cents, commending \u201cthe fluidity of the gameplay\u201d. In fact, according to some players, there\u2019s one aspect to the gameplay that Eleventh Hour Games have \u201cnailed\u201d \u2014 Necromancers. \u201cNo ARPG since Diablo 2, bar Grim Dawn, has truly captured the gameplay and essence of Necromancy,\u201d the OP of the thread wrote, and they weren\u2019t the only player who felt that way. \u201cAlways played a nerco class first. Finally someone got it right!\u201d another agreed before the conversation turned to the elephant in the room \u2014 the current state of Necromancers and Druids in Diablo 4. \u201cThe D4 developers have zero clue why people enjoy minion builds,\u201d lamented one user. Echoing a sentiment many fans of the classes have been sharing since the launch of Season of the Construct. \u201cNecro? Do you mean bone sorc?\u201d another player joked, making light of the fact Necromancers are more powerful in Diablo 4\u2019s endgame without their skeletal minions in tow. Minion builds have been a big point of contention for Diablo 4 this season. There are complaints about the viability of classes like necromancer and druid, and the decision to dilute the core theme of the classes \u2014 by giving everyone their own companion, the Seneschal, in Season 3. Last Epoch offers a lot of flexibility for fans of minions. There are multiple caster-summoner builds for players to experiment with, including Squirrel Beastmaster and Unlimited Wraiths Necromancer to name a few. How exactly Last Epoch\u2019s minion-based classes will hold up in the patches to come is anyone\u2019s guess. But for now, it seems like it\u2019s a breath of fresh air for those who\u2019ve been feeling stifled by Blizzard\u2019s lack of commitment to caster summoners in D4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
