Well boss comes… boom … killed one shot all minions…
You try to find corpses to get minions… no corpses…
And what is left to do? run till you get killed…
Bye bye necro…

To be fair that was pretty much what happened in the previous beta. Difference is that back then minions were owning regular mobs and now they no longer do. But yeah, the boss one shot killing every minion but your golem, which took two mind you, felt like minion necros were not viable for large bosses.
bosses like diablo in D2 also wipe out all your summons almost instantly with his fire aoe while leveling in normal / nightmare / hell. you need to get together some pretty good gear in D2 to be a zoo keeper than can reliably farm bosses.
but yeh from what ive seen in videos necro in this beta even has troubles with just random monster packs…
@zoidburg, recently i solo played diablo 2 ressurected with pet classes. Druid and Necromancer. With druid i finished hell at 80. necro goes fine in hell act 2 at 62 so far. They feel proper and can solo do everything with a reasonable gear, not much special or uber gear. So it can be done in d4 if they really work on it and HAVE SOME ACTUAL PLAYETESTERS to check it. I would be surprised if any playtester in d4 played the 1st boss in the intro dungeon and said ‘ok necro is ok as it is now’. I struggled to finish it without any way to summon corpses, when only because of the specific boss, it spawns many small adds that you can kill them for corpses. The second boss i did in d4 was the stronghold one… one shot my adds and no corpses. Definitely the playtesters played ONLY 1st intro boss…
