A new Diablo 3-version on the test servers brings changes to the skills of the Necromancer and introduces the exclusive legendaries of the Necromancer.
If you want to test the Necromancer in Diablo 3, you need an invitation from Blizzard. With this, you can already try out the new class on the test servers. The developers take the feedback from the testers seriously and have now made further adjustments to the Necromancer. In addition, they are introducing the legendary items with their bonuses in the new patch, which significantly change and improve the abilities of the Necromancer.
Legendary Items for the Necromancer – Patch 2.6.0 v.2.6.0.45499
With special legendaries, you will be able to change the playstyle of your Necro character in the future. In the new patch, Blizzard is introducing the items. To know which skills are influenced by the items, it is recommended to open the skill overview of the Necromancer in Diablo 3. The new items include:
- Funerary Pick: The “Blood Suck” ability now drains blood from two additional targets.
- Trag’oul’s Corroded Fang: The “Cursed Scythe” rune of “Death Scythe” now has a 100% chance to curse hit enemies.
- Scythe of the Cycle: Your secondary skills deal 250%-300% additional damage while “Bone Armor” is active. However, they reduce the remaining duration of “Bone Armor” by 3 seconds.
- Bloodtide Blade: “Death Nova” deals 125%-150% increased damage for each enemy within 10 meters.
- Steuart’s Greaves: You gain 2 seconds of 40%-50% increased movement speed after you use “Bloody Paths”.
- Krysbin’s Sentence: “Bone Spear,” “Bone Spike,” and “Bone Spirit” deal 125%-150% increased damage against enemies that are stunned, frozen, blinded, or enchanted.
You can find all other legendary items in the linked English patch notes at the end of this article.
Changes to the Skills of the Necromancer
There are changes to the skills of the Necromancer. Skills received name changes, while others were redesigned. For instance, the “Grim Harvest” rune of “Bone Armor” no longer deals physical damage but instead deals cold damage.
The passive skill “Blood is Power” originally granted 1% cooldown reduction for 5% lost life. This skill has been redesigned and now grants 20% cooldown reduction after you have lost a total of 100% of your maximum life. This effect cannot reduce the cooldown of a skill more than once.
All modified skills and legendary items can be found in the official PBE patch notes of Diablo 3. Here are the 2.6.0 Beta patch notes on us.battle.net
