It shouldn't be too bad to get a new augment, farm low level grifts that you can finish in two to three minutes for as high as it gives 100% and just move incrementally up from there

I can't fathom why there's not any passive essence regen on the Necro. What the poo poo.

I imagine it is because you can trivially gain resources out the rear end. By combining bone spike with devouring aura(so you can control how much you eat), Reaper wraps and maybe that passive that has a chance to spawn health globes on devouring, you get a ton of resources.'

...that wouldn't help you while leveling your first char during seasons of course. :shobon:

I think it's probably some combination of "what else can we possibly do with a class resource that we haven't done already" with the Necro actually having three possible resources between Essence, Life, and Corpses. Having no passive regen means you kind of need to commit to a builder or develop some other means of acquiring Essence, which is what at least one set and several items + passives are built around. I don't know how I feel about it yet. As it stands I already think the Necro is the spammiest class in the game next to Wizard, but unlike wiz builds your killing speed grinds to an absolute halt when there are no corpses + essence to recover. I do like there being a whole bunch of resources that can theoretically be built around, however.

I'm not sure how anyone could've realistically expected the necromancer to run around with the better part of two dozen minions at all times. There's no way that having God knows how many skeletons active at the same time wouldn't be a complete clusterfuck in a game that already gets pretty busy visually in combat, too much so at times. At least the WD's fetishes are comparatively tiny.

you do know that your pets are drat near invisible for other players now and visual clusterfucks of skeletons were all part of the Necro's charm in D2

The playstyle of Pestilence is really solid and you can clear T13 with it no problem, it just needs to do more damage at the top end. According to Travis Day on the Necro livestream a couple days ago the 6pc is going to be reworked to also boost Corpse Lance damage and possibly all corpse-based skills along with Bonespear.

So Travis Day popped into the chat of Bluddshed's stream yesterday and I watched the VOD. A few notes I gathered from it:

-Inarius proccing gem damage is INTENDED, however the proc rate seems too high, so it will likely be adjusted.
-Pestilence set was meant to be the speedfarm set, and they're working on it so that it gets to that point. They are likely going to buff corpse lance, and have the 6pc affect it and possibly all of the corpse skills, because they didn't hit the mark on the 6pc. The intention is for someone to run devour as they blast through a rift and have tons of free lances flying around killing everything on the screen.
-Skeletons getting killed after getting hit 22-24 times is intended. It seems to be causing issues for high-end pushes so they'll likely remove it.
-They will discuss and consider moving Dayntee's to work with all curses (we asked for this poo poo in beta for months).
- Fueled By Death bug to be fixed.
-Stuart's Greaves (50% movement speed for 2 seconds after blood rush) seems to have undershot as the goal was not to have perma blood rush, but to give you enough of a boost of speed where you're moving very fast. They'll likely tweak them to be faster and/or for longer. Blood was trying to push to make it 100% as lack of speed seems to be a huge issue with the necro. They're meant to be speedfarm boots so you aren't forced to use Ingeom.
-Travis said they didn't want to nerf a lot of the necromancer skills and abilities after people bought the pack and upset them so they undershot on the tuning of some things so they can tune them to be better/stronger instead of the reverse. They were being cautious.
-The goal for the golems were more utility than damage, unlike the gargantuans.

E: Kryspin's being used by other classes will also be fixed.

Assembling the final pieces for CE Inarius is actually kind of a pain because Wisdom of Kalan always rolls aspd and the Johnstone has a huge degree of variance to its legendary text, not to mention it's a rare tier amulet that can also roll like crap. Black Death scythe and Krysbie's also have a high degree of legendary variance. The build doesn't absolutely need all those pieces to come together but you will end up rolling a lot of dud items, unlike say Shadow DH which comes online almost immediately.

Speed farm is targeting a specific task & difficulty and doing it as efficiently as possible. Such builds usually don't scale very well.

There are items like in-geom that help speed clear T10/T13 but are a liability if you are trying to clear GRs. Similarly, there are items like goldwrap that make you indestructible but flat out don't work in GRs because gold doesn't drop in GRs.

Taken to the logical conclusion some classes have "cosmetic farming" sets that stack resource cost reduction / cooldown reduction so that you can run a game on normal and move as fast as possible, because drop rates on cosmetics like cosmic wings aren't dependent on difficulty.

Speedfarming means you aren't pushing for progression and can comfortably sit at a lower level and work your way through quickly and with minimal effort/button presses.

For a Jade Harvester set they will replace the slotted furnace with a wormwood to automatically afflict with the locusts rebuff. You're not trying to kill anything big so you don't need to worry as much about managing the debuffs.

For the act-specific mats, you'll want to run bounties on as high a difficulty as you can comfortably and quickly pull off.

For death's breaths and forgotten souls (from salved legendaries), join a T13 group doing rifts and gobble them up from elite packs.

According to the forums, consoles received a patch to fix some bugs, but not noted was a proc-coefficient change with Bonenado as people are reporting mirinae is now proccing much less than before (about 1/s vs 5-6/s). If this is not another "Onyxia Deep Breathes more often" then we may see the change on PC once they finally patch out the current exploit with DH/Necro, thought hopefully with some compensation later with the pre-season/post-open beta balance patch to kick off Season 11 (Probably between July 18th and 20th).

Wizard is still probably the best class. You can easily complete the journey and GR 70 with sub-optimal stats, no ancients, no augments, and just the bare gem/paragon levels you gain on your way there. You're also starting with Tal'Rasha's this season, which is insanely good. All of the classes will get your journey done, even casually, but none will do it as fast or easy as the wizard IMO.
