Necromancer

If you're raring to play a Necromancer in Diablo 3 and want to make sure to plan it all out carefully from the jump, the Diablo 3 Character Planner now has a PTR version that lets you work on your Necromancer.

No, we still don't have a release date for Diablo 3's Necromancer, but we do have updated patch 2.6.0 (AKA the Necromancer beta) patch notes for your enjoyment.

Since we've heard nothing about a new Diablo 3 expansion (and the Necromancer is clearly not tied to any new expansion) I've found myself musing a lot about what I'd do next if I was in charge of Diablo as a property.

Without much in the way of new Diablo 3 content, I have to admit I haven't played the game in months.

We've been eager to check out the Necromancer in Diablo 3 since it was announced way back at BlizzCon — but the relatively short closed beta didn't give us much of a chance.

I was invited into the closed beta for the Diablo 3 Necromancer and was able to take her to max level.

Next Wednesday on May 3rd, Diablo Senior Game Designer Travis Day and Lead VFX Artist Julian Love will be livestreaming at 4p.m.

The closed beta test for Diablo 3 Necromancer class and associated content is now live.

The Necromancer is coming to Diablo 3 and that's great, but there are a host of other classes from the franchise's history and lore that we could have seen.

The Diablo 3 Necromancer was announced back at BlizzCon 2016 and is finally making its way toward a beta testing phase.
