I dont understand how you can nerf a class this badly and still did a dev talk about how its a balance change… You didnt balance anything you just made it so all bosses 1 shot your all your summons with 1 hit and even trash mobs can down them all in 1 aoe this is a joke.
No one can even play necro any more due this change which tells me you never tested this as if any one had played the game after the change you would have seen how bad you messed up…
Stop using minions, it’s just that simple.
At this point i think you are either a D4 dev of a fulltime troll. You are just on this forum to talk about how boring the game is and how ppl should stop crying over the necro nerfs…
Necro is not playable anymore, every Boss and Elite Pack you stay there without skeletons
WTF Blizzard?!
Fix that otherwise this garbage goes to refund.
TBH it is playable with everything else besides minions but as THE minion class its a shame how skellis stand and i dont want to play just another “sorcerer” class…
Necro was broken in previous beta tests,now its fixed,together with other classes.
I play minion necro btw.
I think it is playable… it’s just the AOE damage that is an issue.
Skelly’s don’t move from anythings so they die too easily from random AOE and ground effect… I spend most from ght gaining essense from consuming corpses to read more… so base skill is out of the rotation and that works fine for dungeons. But locked room boss encounters… I have taken to just hemmorage Tuttle away building fortify and not care much for the minions…
I think an AOE damage Nerf to Summons is needed and I would honestly be happy to trade 10-20% more survivability on top at a trade off of summon damage. Their base line damage is strong but the minion army management should rather be on actively amping up their damage… not spam summoning them 24/7
And lastly
Blizzard should consider the durability of the summons for someone who use use them as another meat shield… and not just balance their immortality on an endgame build stacking everything into their damage reduction etc.
I am a Necro player. I think it is still too powerful. If you feel you are nerfed, try other classes or just learn your character’s strengths.
I think Blizzard is doing a great job of leveling up the difficulty of the game and not getting caught up in the whining of the kind of people who are so loud these days, who only appreciate easy achievements and paths that don’t make them think or challenge them.
Thank you Blizzard for bringing back the feeling of Diablo gameplay.
I have to say that I much preferred the original way to heal up/replace my skeleton army during the beta version of the game.
Having to select a corpse pile to create a new skelly is bad enough but to do it whilst being chased (and more often than not, being hit) by trash mobs and everything else up-to and including the area boss is just not on.
It’s so difficult! Who ever thought this was a good idea needs to go back to the drawing board!!
I know that Blizzard nerfed the necro quite a bit - and I don’t mind that if it makes the game more balanced, but this is unacceptable imho.
Can you please change that one thing back to the way it was before before release? Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
The thing that ruins necro for me now is your skeleton army run around and split up doing 0 damage on their own, they took away Command Skeleton so you can longer focus them on one target making them useless, not only that, all the other changes they made from diablo 3’s necro are way worse, they just got necro and tore it to shreds leaving it a horrible class to play now.
destroyed the summoner build, you can collect through blood, bones and shadow, but then you will get 1 more mage, why is this needed? I would like to cast, I would choose a magician
Sorry, but are you drunk? I doubt you ever played necro at all. Minion buid is unplayable. A normal baer, not even elite one killed all my skelles with 2 hits. All the streamers I watched so far playing minion necro didnt use minions anymore after a while because they died that often thats ridicoulous.
The only way to play minions at all is to change your skeletons to defensive mode.
As a minion build player in every necro game I can find, and from playing the original D4 beta compared to the server slam; the newer minion changes are too much of an overcorrection.
Just leveling up, not even to end game, and minions are dropping constantly, the “priest” summon does not heal enough, and boss fights are an ABSOLUTE chore. Even fallen lunatics are 1 or 2 shotting your entire army, couple that with no way to effectively prioritize targets… yeah this is bad.
Sure, we dont want D3 minions that never died, and we dont want them hitting too hard and NEVER dying like original beta… but this is way, WAY too much.
As a full-commit with full +minion health talents; you are commiting a very large chunk of points into your army, and they should not be this flimsy even before you get to endgame.
Either restore about half the nerfed survivability of minions or massively buff the priest’s HoT effect, or the minion necro will be (pun intended) dead on arrival.
If we cant use minions we can only refund and go play other arpg that know what they are doing. Minion build players only play those builds and nothing else.
He is obviously drunk. We think we did not try all the other classes ?
Lol The game is boring and if you are struggling with using necro summons then don’t use them. Literally that simple.
Diablo 2 Necro minions weren’t even good until much later patches.
I’m not having this issue. Sure, do we need to resumon more than we did during open beta? Yes. But it makes for a more engaging play style I think. Also makes the skellie guardians way more appealing, and the reapers.
I run reapers with chance to create corpses. On top of that I have made sure to invest int he bonus minion HP as well as the chance to create corpse on hit nodes.
I have no problems with bosses or packs. Zero. Maybe I feel it’s easy because I main bear druid? IMO Necro feels just fine.
or spec into minions they work fine if u build for them tbh. Its not OP or anything but it probaly one of the better builds atm.
They nerfed almost everything that was OP before so everything is shit now 
i think alot of the power gonna come from legendary+ equipment that break things
Minions are the WHOLE point of the class.
