An entirely new class adds a lot of value if you play Diablo 3 not just over its five-act campaign, but for the endlessly repeatable content Blizzard is continuously adding. Diablo 3 is the certain sort of game that a certain sort of player can play for an entire 'season' or tinker with for just a few hours in the excellent Adventure Mode. Additional valueĪfter a more-than-rocky launch, the Diablo 3 team has pivoted its product into a largely successful and well-loved platform. Deckard Cain still says 'The Skeleton King!?' that way he does. Unlike Diablo 3's last new character, the Crusader, the Necromancer doesn't coincide with a major new expansion, storyline, or 'Acts.' There is new gear, much of it specific to the Necromancer, but front-to-back this is a new avenue to play existing Diablo 3, rather than 'more Diablo.' You still click on things in dungeons until they die. With the Rise of the Necromancer, DLC wants $15 for the new Necromancer class, plus a handful of other goodies.
