CE has no mana cost or cooldown? It seems like it should. Being able to spam it for free as soon as you get feels…unearned. Maybe give it a dmg buff, but cost it at like 20 mana or something. (I don’t want it to have a cooldown btw. I think a mana cost is what it is needed)

It isnt free… it costs a corpse…

you don’t have to work for a corpse. You get them through the just doing what everyone else does. You think you should be able to pop 20 corpses with no mana commitment or cooldown? Being able to spam CE like that feels like it should be a item/build earned thing.
Thats how corpse explosion has always worked. It would absolutely ruin the game play doing that.

In D2 (the best game in the series so far) it cost mana my friend.

It Does need a mana cost, even just a small one. An upgrade to make it mana-less would be great, and feel good. Perhaps on a piece of Legendary gear, or an upgrade option.

15 mana… in a game where mana is never an issue once you have an insight merc and endless mana pots or better yet full rejuvs if you aren’t trash. So no, the mana cost may as well not be there.

Still earned through #1 gear, #2 using the merc system, #3 interacting with the Runeword system (D2s Crafting)and takes work on your part to build or play in a manner that allows you to use it aggressively. That is 3 tiers off in-game systems you need to take advantage of to get there…
Your argument is weak
How is it weak? mana is a non-issue in D2 and I would bet MONEY there will be no way to make resource as irrelevant in D4 as you can make it in D2. And you still dont take into account how easy it is to get mana potions at any level. So no, the argument isn’t weak.

You’d lose your money then. Because as is, CE makes Necro mana/resource irrelevant. You’ve already lost the bet you made…
Ye sure, let’s add CE manacost as it was in D2.
But then it should work same way as it works in D2.
Phys+Fire dmg and 70-120% of monster life as damage. Im ok with that.
The problem is, sometimes you do not have corpses. If you meet a boss ore something, you gonna spawn, just few of them. Not enough to spam. ( Elias is an example, when you trying to go up of world )
I think CE is balanced, otherwise, I would be possible from personal abiliities, spam more corpes.
