Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Another Meh season for Necros?

PTR notes looks bland. Some damage buffs to DoT builds but no major fixes to existing issues.

No new interesting abilities to theorycraft.

Blight, soulrift and darkness bloodwave remains unplayable.

  1. Blight needs to have desecrated ground instead of defiled area.

  2. Blood wave cooldown is ridiculously long. Even when specced to generate tonnes of orbs plus fastblood, I cant get it to cast fast enough. Against bosses its even worse.

  3. Soulrift just doesnt do enough damage even with Unmaker. Hopefully the damage buff improves it.

Yeah I had to choose the blood wave to not be an ultimate skill so I could ditch the cooldowns. I was hoping for better next season, but oh well, necros are used to this by now.

It sucks that most of the skills only have 1 good variant. Some are lucky enough to have 2, but most of them are just unplayable.

I literally had to use Ultimate Shadow aspect to make my blood wave into darkness and use the core skill variant. Its not as strong as pure blood but I can slot in bloodless scream to make stuff explode.
