Necromancer is a Class in Diablo 4. The Necromancer was the last Class to be revealed in Diablo 4. It was announced during a trailer reveal at the Xbox showcase that the Necromancer would be the fifth and final class to be featured in the game, a returning class from previous Diablo titles. The Necromancer is known as a caster of the dark arts, known to rely on death spells like bone and blood, and undead summons as their main source of power and combat abilities. 

The Necromancer utilizes two resources: Essence, a slow regenerating resource that is also gained by using basic skills; and Corpses, which come from fallen enemies or can be generated from certain effects.

 

The enigmatic Necromancers are custodians of the balance between life and death. They can raise powerful undead armies to fight for them while also wielding the powerful magics of Bone, Shadow, and Blood

Diablo 4 Necromancer Story

Diablo Trailer: "I speak now to those who heed a darker call, those bold enough to cross the line of Sin for deeper knowledge, who'll follow an unquenchable yearning. born of blood and bone. to unlock the forbidden secrets and foulest black rituals calling forth life from death. To truly embrace this power, you must take it into the world, but you will be shunned, scorned, marked as a living sacrifice to this profane knowledge. You will be a Priest of Rathma, a necromancer. And you will not confront the darkness alone. We are the Speakers of the Dead, and the Dead have no mercy."

Necromancer in Diablo: "A Necromancer's dominion over life and death grants this grisly apothecary the ability to summon skeleton armies and golems, and to unleash baneful poison, curse, and bone skills upon his foes. From the steamy recesses of the southern swamps comes a figure cloaked in mystery. The Necromancer, as his name implies, is an unseemly form of sorcerer whose spells deal with the raising of the dead and the summoning and control of various creatures for his purposes.

Though his goals are often aligned with those of the forces of Light, some do not think that these ends can justify his foul means. Long hours of study in dank mausoleum have made his skin pale and corpselike, his figure, skeletal. Most people shun him for his peculiar looks and ways, but none doubt the power of the Necromancer, for it is the stuff of nightmares."

Diablo 4 Necromancer Overview

 

The Necromancer is a caster summoner class that has close quarter combat options, and specializes in the dark arts.

smallarrowMain Resource: Necromancers have two important resources, their main resource is Essence, which is used to cast powerful Skills. Necromancers can build up their Essence level by Their second resource are corpses, which are used to build the army of the undead that follow the Necromancer.

smallarrowClass Mechanic: Book of the Dead. This Class mechanic lets Necromancers further customize their undead armies.  For example, players can turn their Skeleton Warriors into a more damage dealing version, but at the expense of maintaining a lower health pool. Or, in the other hand, create a more defensive-minded defender that are better at tanking, but deal significantly less damage to enemies.

Necromancer Book of the Dead in Diablo 4

  

In Diablo 4, each class comes with a Unique Class Mechanic that offers additional ways to customize your gameplay experience. The Necromancer's Unique Class Mechanic is the Book of the Dead, a powerful ability that allows you to dominate the battlefield with deeper customization of your undead army than ever before.

The Book of the Dead enables you to summon three different types of undead: Skeletal Warriors, Skeletal Mages, and the Golem. Each of these summons can be specialized in one of three ways. When Necromancers reach level 5, they automatically learn Raise Skeleton, which allows them to create their Skeleton army to do their bidding.

For instance, Skeletal Warriors can be Skirmishers, Defenders, or Reapers. Skirmishers are standard warriors but have increased damage and reduced health. Defenders have bonus health. Reapers have slower attacks, deal damage in an area-of-effect in front of them, and have a special wind-up attack that deals a high amount of damage.

To further enhance your undead army, each specialized minion has unique upgrades available to them that can change their overall playstyle. Additionally, the Book of the Dead allows you to sacrifice the ability to summon a specific unit in exchange for a personal, permanent buff. This means you can mix and match having none, some, or all the possible summoned units while still having relevant options to enhance your build.

Necromancers can have a chosen "Class" for Skeletal Warriors, 1 for Skeletal Mages and one for the Golem. Also, they can select one of two available upgrades or, a sacrifice mechanic. Upgrades, grant additional bonuses but players can only select one. Sacrifice, on the other hand, nullifies the ability to summon that type of minion.

Skeletal Warriors

Skeletal Warriors act as standard skeletons and they attack enemies at close range with their weapons. Necromancers can initially summon 4 Skeletal Warriors at a time, some Legendary Aspects may increase this number.  There are three differnt types of Skeletal Warriors players can select:
