View of legendary items and set bonuses from the different Necromancer sets is now available in the data mining of Diablo 3.
Diablo 3 is expanded by the “Rise of the Necromancer” DLC with a new class in the game. This pack includes, among other things, the Necromancer, who has been revived for Diablo 3. On the test servers, the Necro was available for a few days to try out, but then received a forced break.
Experts took advantage of this break for data mining of Diablo 3. More details about the Necro have now emerged, showing set bonuses, legendary items, and equipment.
Necromancer Set Bonus
The data mining shows interesting results regarding the Necro sets. A total of four sets were found in the data and published on the Diablofans website. Unfortunately, there are no official names for the sets yet, just placeholders.
Set 1 – For the Companion Playstyle
- 2-piece bonus: Your companions have a chance to reduce the cooldown of Army of the Dead by one second with every attack.
- 4-piece bonus: You receive 1% damage reduction for 5 seconds when one of your companions attacks (up to 50 stacks).
- 6-piece bonus: Each active Skeleton Mage increases your companions’ and Army of the Dead’s damage by 200%
Set 2 – Skills with Life Resource
- 2-piece bonus: Bloody Path receives the effect of every rune.
- 4-piece bonus: If you are fully healed, healing from skills increases your maximum life for 45 seconds. Up to 100% more maximum life.
- 6-piece bonus: If you consume 10% life through skills, you lose 10% more life through skills (that consume life points), but deal 200% additional damage for 30 seconds. If you use a skill that heals you, it consumes a stack and makes the healing 300% more effective.
Set 3 – Bone Armor
- 2-piece bonus: The damage of Bone Armor is increased by 1000%.
- 4-piece bonus: Stacks of Bone Armor are now refreshed. In addition, Bone Armor grants 2% additional damage reduction per enemy hit.
- 6-piece bonus: Bone Armor also activates a Bone Tornado that inflicts 750% weapon damage on nearby enemies. Enemies hit by the tornado also take 1500% more damage from the Necromancer.
Set 4 – Bone Spear
- 2-piece bonus: Each corpse you consume fires a corpse fragment at a nearby enemy, dealing 800% weapon damage.
- 4-piece bonus: Each enemy hit by Bone Spear reduces your damage taken by 2%. Maximum 50% reduction. Lasts 15 seconds.
- 6-piece bonus: Each corpse you consume grants you a charge for an empowered Bone Spear. The damage of the next Bone Spear is increased by 1000%.
Additional Bonuses
In addition to the set bonuses, effects that are available through other legendary or set items were also found. These allow, for example, a free Death Nova after consuming 15 corpses or grant 50% increased movement speed after using Bloody Path. You can find all data mining results on the Diablofans website. Here are the data mining results on Diablofans.com
Keep in mind that the results of the data mining do not necessarily need to be implemented in the game “as is”, but may undergo changes or skills may be completely replaced.
