Grim Misadventure #105: Extra Large Evils

[umbral]

I don’t really want to be that guy, but… that post was made 3 years ago, when the devs didn’t even planned for an Act IV and the main game would be released with 5 masteries, with the 6th one (which turned out to be the Shaman) being released with an expansion. See what I’m getting there? The Shaman is a mastery that can summon stuff and use vitality attacks like wendigo totem (which sinergizes pretty well with the occultist mastery, not to mention that the Conjurer can be built as a pure summoner mastery combination), so yeah… there is a chance that this “necromancer” got released already in the form of the Shaman mastery.

I’m not saying that one of the new masteries won’t be some sort of necromancer, but don’t set yourselves up for dissapointment, as like I said, we might’ve have gotten our necromancer already.

1. Remove all summons/pets from items - non-summoner classes deserve no pets/summons.

2. Occultist is Core Dweller (hellhoud) + Wisp (raven) which are support pets. Raven is not aggressive at all, it stays too close to you.
Shaman is Briathron which is tank pet.

Both mean 2 support + 1 tank pet, not quite a damage oriented summoner.

3. Two new classes.

Reanimator - summoner class that can have many melee but also aggressive range pets (unlike raven), that can as ultimate skill reanimate any creature except bosses from grim dawn.

Walker - archer/trowing spear/traps divine priest.
