It's one of the most unique class options available in the game and it stood out in Diablo 3 too. If that's the case, the Necromancer would go a long way in channeling nostalgia for that game.

Only the Barbarian showed up afterwards, which gives the impression that the developer of Diablo 4 is looking strongly at Diablo 2 for inspiration.

RELATED: Diablo 4 Has a Daunting Task Ahead of Itself The Pros of the Necromancerĭiablo 4 does seem like a pretty nostalgic affair so far, in spite of its new storyline. There's certainly an audience for the class, but is it the right thing for Blizzard to offer from the start? However, including the Necromancer at this stage might cause some problems in Diablo 4 as far as balance is concerned. If Blizzard wants to focus on tradition in this game, one of the most crucial classes it could choose is the Necromancer, as this master of dark magic and ruler of undeath showed up as a player character in both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.

Fans are dying to know what all their class choices will be, but Blizzard has left them wondering for a long time.

In just a few more weeks, Blizzard will be hosting Blizzcon, and Diablo 4will likely take the stage, hopefully revealing some new details. Thankfully, the days of that silence may be nearly over. Diablo 4 has gone a long time without getting any major news.
