new class: battle necro

new class: battle necro

the battle necro would be a cross between the assassin and the necro he/she would use a character specific knife/sword that would hold demon souls.

summoning tree:

skeleton combo:character would initiate a killing combo which would then cause a skeleton to rise from the demons body

mage combo:same deal as the skeleton combo but it would be a skeletal mage instead of a normal skeleton

skeleton masterysame as diablo 2)

gollum: same as diablo 2

ressurectmust have at least on demon soul in sword) initiate a killing combo and use another demon soul to ressurect the demon you just killed (the stronger the demon soul used the stronger the demon you just ressurected)

spirit gollum:use demon souls captured in your sword to create a gollum (this gollums type will depend on what types of demons souls you used to create it (as you level this abilty up youll be able to add more demon souls to the gollum starts at a maximum of 2 demon souls)


will add more spells later.

Re: new class: battle necro

The combo idea is interesting, but I don't think it's realistic.
I mean, I don't want to execue a combo and have to have an enemie next by to summon my minion, I want to summon them right away.
Not to mention:
1. Too much of the same skills from D2 =/
2. Necro is out (in any form I belive)
3. I think the WD is taking the Summoner place in D3.

Lord of the Rings fans would love the ability to summon Gollum. "My precious".

Re: new class: battle necro

I really don't see how this is any different from the necromancer in D2, except you use a sword, have to get the first kill for yourself, and your minions are raised automatically.

I'd also like to see the necromancer appear again in a D3 expansion, but he'd really have to be completely redone so it doesn't feel like you're playing the same game. Basically, a totally new character with the same gothic personality. So if you want to make a new necro, you're going to have to drastically alter his skills, while keeping the same theme.


One idea that I think would be cool would be to give him some Vampirism skills. You could work it into the background story from D2 with the Trang Oul set that turns a necro into a vampire. I was thinking that a new version of Life Tap, for example, would have you drain life directly from your enemies, weakening them whild you're doing it. Then I saw that the Wraiths in D3 have that exact ability. Still, plenty of monsters in D2 used skills that belonged to the player classes, so it could still work.


I haven't voted in the poll yet. I think that a revamped necromancer could have some potential, but you're going to have to really break away from what we saw in D2.
