When I do get my hands on them, I’ll be sure to jump in a couple of rifts to test the Necromancer’s viability. I haven’t yet found any of the new legendary or set items for the Necromancer so I can’t speak for how those work yet. It works for the most part, but it’s definitely a lot easier to pull off on PC. On consoles it is a bit harder since you can’t directly click on something so it instead goes off your line of sight. On PC, you target a husk and simply detonate it, giving off a ton of damage to surrounding enemies. The Corpse Explosion works great in Diablo 3. Like I mentioned before, you can opt for a pet build or you could take an entirely different route and focus on the chunks of flesh left behind by enemies.

The Necromancer feels right at home in the game and offers a lot of different variety when it comes to play style. Although I’ve only just finished Act I and reached level 40 with my Necromancer, I’d be lying to you if this isn’t the most fun I’ve had with Diablo 3 in months, maybe even years (I really enjoyed the Darkening of Tristram event).
