hopefully this will be worth playing as necro this time 
yea, sure. You’ll have some fun with this one, I hope.
For myself this won’t hit well. I don’t like mercs and absolutely not pets.
Now I get an invaluable pet, a must have.
I’m contemplating not playing with it and instead try and make it without, see how that will be. That would’ve been possible this season if it weren’t for the lifeleech from one of the vampiric powers. There’s no other way for a Rogue to replenish life like that as they nerfed that way into uselessness.
I’m thinking that it will be the same with this season: Mandatory pet.
Well, things could be worse. Tried the game tonight, ran a few minutes before I turned it off. While not good, because there’s nothing to do on the entire map, it’s not bad either.
I’ll run this for a bit. Hope you’ll have more fun than me with your necro.

I played necro fisrt time in S2 and love it. Currently full on summoner with bone spear and loads of exploding, mobile shadow damage explosions
Sure I would struggle with T90 NM but what I play is fun.
Unlike some folks I play the GAME to have fun, not to WIN better than other people.
When he becomes eternal in a week or so I might collect items to try him without summons but won’t be in a rush

Season of Coming soon 
why will be worth? minions are terrible unless ure lvl 100 and use all your paragon into making pets just not die… coz they still lack damage considerably…
Would be great if there were an endgame viable Summon build next season. Currently I wasn´t able to build something satisfing with just the base stuff, and even with the Pendant of the Deathspeaker and/or Ring of Mendeln they fail to impress…theres an abundance of strong builds who sacrifice all minions, but if I wanted to play a char without minions, I´d go Barb(Melee) or Sorc(Ranged)…
Wont happend, the devs said spesificly that they do not want necro or druid pets to have any viable endgame season meta builds. Pet builds are for leveling up.
You may make a pet build that can do nm lv100, but that will be the limit.
They said that? Ok. That’s disappointing. It’s like dropping the ball on pet play I think. But maybe it’s just impossible given how D4 is made. Pets has this tendency to trivialise content.
It is.
Thing is, atleast for necro the pets needs a little revamp, and either they do not have time to do that, or do not want to.
It is just not as easy as simply just flatline buffing the pets, the mechanics needs to be improved allso.
For now, we simply have to accept that pet builds are B tier. (and that has allways been diablo, some builds are S tier, others are B)
Would be cool if you could command pets, group and specific pets. And buff them individually and as a group to make them stronger for the moment. Heal too.
Like that it was an actual gameplay to play with pets. Not easy and afk but real gameplay. That you’d pull your frontline back when they’re taking damage or have ranged attack specific targets, or have your front peel for your backline, microing like in an rts.
Could retain the afk style by just playing lower difficulty.
It’s not something for me but it could be something much more than it is.
