Grim Misadventure #121: Learning to Necromance

[MoridinB]

Looks cool, digging the Blight Fiend. I am more of a Demo guy myself, so looking forward to stacking that + Inquisitor

[Gandalf]

Still looks great though, take your time and im sure it will come out looking badass with the blight fiend

Will do, thank you! Though the Reap Spirit looks really good too… Why can’t there be more hours in the day for all this stuff

[PrinceXavieR]

as good as this necro looks it may take forever before it gets to our hands! Meanwhile the necro d3 will be released in few hours. arent you all excited for that one instead? :rolleyes:

[Nssheepster]

I love that Necromancer has more active pet abilities that require some player input rather than the more traditional afk pet build we see from conjurers.

I wish we had an AFK pet build, LOL. Too many pet devotions that can’t be triggered by pets.

That reminds me, I’ve been meaning to search the mod forums to see if someone’s made a mod just to change that, so they can be bound to pets.

D3 was the only game ive tried to refund. So no, not excited. :roll:

[Garfunkel]

Monsters have obscene health but very low damage. Players have very low health but obscene damage. If a monster hits you for 4k in Ultimate, rank 1 of the skill will inflict 1500 damage to your target. And then you autoattack them for 10-20k, all the while said-monster has hundreds of thousands of health. Couple this with a very low duration and generally low monster attack speeds, and all in all the damage potential of the skill is pretty piss-poor.

I hope this skill can imbue the target monster with additional buffs like attack speed / damage increase otherwise it is just a meatshield.

If the necromancer could synergize well with aether or be a valid alternative to occultist for the witch hunter class with poison/vitality/cold…
I can’t wait to try it!

Uh… wrong forum buddy, D3 is beyond dead of a game, and just waiting for the next one as it was a complete wash as far as a game, no content or classes they give it could ever fix the actual issues, so nope not excited for it. I am however, excited for Grim Dawn’s expac, even if I very much so dislike pet classes, hopefully I can find a couple builds that are not so pet reliant…

[KondaImmortal]

These skills look really cool. I am very excited for the expansion.

[Makk]

It’s looking very nice with a wide variety of skills on offer with something for everyone. Melee options, poison skills, aether skills, vitality skills and cold skills but I think what I like most is that the pet skills seem to encourage a more active play style than Shaman and Occultist.

Blight Fiend
”Unmoved by the noxious fumes of decay, conjure forth an abomination made of corpses and rotting filth to rise up from the earth and subdue your enemies.”

Ha! I knew it! And they said it was going to be a bone dragon, they were wrong…

But I don’t know if I’m going to use this guy. I’m planning to create a Death Knight and use skeletons + Squad Tactics + make my character a brute. But who knows, maybe I will have points to spare.

I just hoped it would be. I don’t want to lose my lunch every time I play a Necromancer, you know? And seriously, WHERE is a Necromancer supposed to get all these fresh corpses? They’re just sitting around, rotting? Or are people being buried everywhere? Makes no sense anyways, and it’s just nasty to look at. I was hoping for anything bone or spirit, so I didn’t have to stare at rotting flesh all the time.

The D3 one ? I literally could not care less about it or D3

It’s definitely a valid one.

Necromancer has vitality RR, vitality/cold WPS, vitality/cold spell that boosts flat damage like ABB (bone harvest). It’s going to be sick.

Ask that to all the Reanimators you face in the game. Granted, you fight them in ruined places but they just don’t stop raising the dead.

Or even better, ask the architects of all the tombs in the desert of Diablo II. The sarcophagus on those tombs were apparently made for ONE mummy, and yet they spawn DOZENS until you destroy them.

That was certainly one thing that always baffled me back when I played D3. I’d be in the middle of a monster filled, hot as hell, desert, three levels down in an ALSO monster filled tomb, and I’d find a villager’s body. A), You got through all that, and died HERE, in a corner, with no monsters near you… And somehow none of them ate your body? B) WHY would you even come into the desert? Much less all the way down a magical tomb. That’s a little far to go just to, I don’t know, hide from your girlfriend’s father for an hour or so. Like what the hell?

[Yawgmoth]

Upon death, the Blight Fiend erupts in toxic fumes. He can also learn to exhume poison around him,

The word I think you were looking for here is “exude” unless the Blight Fiend digs up poison from the ground around him. Maybe he does, I don’t know!

Necromancer/occultist is almost guaranteed to be my new main, although necro/arcanist with some heavy aether damage buffing seems like it could be fun too. So many choices!

[Norzan]

Still carrying around my bucket of salt since this mastery has been revealed. And none of the revealed skills make it any better because they look so bleh.

Still got Inquisitor though.

[Anathema2741]

Necromancer + Shaman is going to be so good. I could go with Vitality melee supported by Devouring Swarm and Wendigo Totem, or I could pair Blight Fiend with Briarthorn. I’m definitely going to do both.

[Oni_das_Alagoas]

Is this armour going to be included in the dlc?
