First impressions on the necro by somebody who just started playing and hasn't seen endgame content yet, so take w/ grain of salt: It's going to need an awful lot of work to make it fun, unfortunately. The good: - voice acting seems fairly good most of the time (haven't tried the female version yet) - stylistically the necro looks good, i think they nailed the aesthetics - some of the skills feel really satisfying to use (i really like corpse explosion, the bone spirit is fun, the obligatory movement skill is cool etc.) - some of the skills do a ridiculous amount of damage, and successful builds will probably exist centered around them The bad: - summoning skills are kind of a shitshow. Skeletons don't do enough damage to be worth it by themselves, golems seem kind of useless outside of maybe some weird builds, and... - ... why the hell are all my passives so poo poo? I kind of expected at least some of the "make summoned poo poo better" passives like the WD has. The only one is "summoned units last 25% longer", which does gently caress-all when your skeleton mages only last 6 seconds by default - skeleton mages and revives last only a few seconds, so minion playstyle gets spammy as poo poo - here's a big one! you ready? We have an entire tree dedicated to curses, and none of them is Amplify Damage lmao. I thought there would be runes that do that, in order to buff up the pet builds, but nope! - Generators do gently caress-all for damage as well, compared to the other classes - skills are all over the place. it feels like design by committee, like four different teams had four different playstyles each in mind and tried to give you skills to enable all of them. the result is that none of the playstyles is especially well supported. The ugly: Skeletons and corpses look bad imo, especially the corpses I'm going to keep playing this for a while and see if maybe I'm just missing something vital, but right now it feels like the class might become fun a couple patches down the road.

Why is everything so needlessly difficult? Why does the necro not get resource regen by default? Even picking the Templar doesn't fix that since his skill just gives a percentage increase for some reason.

I dislike Barbarians too, by far my least favorite class.

I'm still not sure if I actually want to play necro this season. It's fun to play with new toys but I'm really disappointed with the way the class feels at the same time.

George posted:Turn the volume for voices to zero. that's smart and I hadn't thought of that. but I'm reasonably sure there used to be an option for the descriptions, right? am I misremembering something?
