Gameplay of Necro

I played with the necro in the closed beta. Pretty fun, skills are cool as well. Worth the $15

I'm excited but just because Necro was my favorite in D2.

IMO it is a little high at $14.99. Should be $10bucks ($9.99).

I'll be buying and downloading tonight. Necro was my favorite character in D2. Not that this will be that similar, but should be pretty fun I think.

I'm just working out of town and only have my PS4 with me in Texas with my PC back home in Louisiana.

What's makes it even worse is I'm not going home until next weekend. Staying here this weekend for a wedding in Port Arthur.

So are they charging you money to buy an "expansion" that you can run a new class through the same content that has been there from the beginning?

Pretty much. I'm torn because I really don't wanna spend $15 bucks on a game I've beaten 5+ times and came out what, 5 years ago, just because of a new char. But dammit I loved playing as a necro in D2.

Yeah, I'm going to pass after leveling all the existing classes and a lot of them through multiple difficulties. Hell they are still charging $20 for DII plus Lords of Destruction, but I would rather replay those than spend $15 on this but I am not doing that either.

I would play this game endlessly if they would release new story content, I loved my time in it but not enough to jump on the treadmill.

there's new content

Last updated June 27 @ 11:00 a.m. PDT.

Diablo III patch 2.6.0 is now live in the Americas for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One! Check out the full PC patch notes below to learn all about the latest changes. To view the console notes, please click here.
PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

New Class: Necromancer
As a master of the dark arts, you wield the powers of life and death necessary to restore the Balance! Necromancers are powerful spell casters who lay waste to their enemies using curses and reanimation—along with an obedient cadre of pets. This new class employs a controlled gameplay style using the raw materials of life: blood and bone.
Note: This class is available through the Rise of the Necromancer pack. For more details, please click here.

New Items for the Necromancer
Over 30 new Legendary items have been added for the Necromancer class, along with four class-exclusive Sets featuring unique themes. Set Dungeons have also been added for each of the new Sets, providing you new opportunities to test your mettle.

New Feature: Challenge Rifts
Explore new builds created by your fellow players in a weekly static dungeon! You can access these through the main screen, similar to Adventure Mode and Campaign Mode.

New Zones: The Moors & The Temple of the Firstborn
The fog-enshrouded Moors and the darkened Temple of the Firstborn can be explored in Adventure Mode through a new waypoint on the Act 2 map.

New Bounties: Realms of Fate
Four new Waypoints have appeared in Adventure Mode. Each one has bounties to complete. These Realms of Fate are the unintended consequences of the battle between the nephalem and Diablo in the High Heavens.

Yeah, RoS type of stuff, that doesn't excite me as I got bored with them quickly as they were the same "run the content again and a again." Had they progressed the story instead of that kind of stuff I would pay them gladly. I don't expect my play preference to be the same as everyone.

I'm with you. They should have added an entire new act. Not random end game filler. If they added a new act it would 100% be worth it. As it stands, I'll simply wait until the necro add on goes on sale.

If they spent the time and resources that they have just adding acts I would be a happy camper, this is one game that could stretch to a 300 hour campaign and I would have paid for every minute of it.

I heard they hired some people for D4 but that it might be a MMO

Well, what's the verdict on the Necromancer? I'm on the fence about getting this dlc. I played a ton of D3 but just got burnt out about 6 months ago and haven't touched it since. I'd like to try it out but I'm afraid I'll get bored again quickly just grinding grifts, bounties etc. etc..even with a new class.

I think it's worth 15. The only issue with getting it right now is it's between seasons so whatever you get you'll lose in a few weeks
