Surprise! Jay Wilson may have slipped somehow that a Diablo 3 expansion might follow after the release of Diablo 3, and the Necromancer class might return in the expansion. It is not set in stone, but it is a fair hope that the Necromancer or previous classes may be brought back. Read the full article at MTV Multiplayer
... for those who are really passionate about the Necromancer, there’s still hope to see the class in a “Diablo III” expansion. In fact, Wilson thought that expansions might be a great place to bring back any of the old classes not included, particularly since the team itself had passionate debates on the topic — almost as much as the game’s art direction.
Well let me ask you this......are you going to play as the barb? if so why would you have a problem with the necro POSSIBLY being an expansion character? By buying D3, by your logic, you are in part paying for something you have already experienced with the barb, AND possibly any other characters that may make the move from D2 to D3, pally, zon, etc......granted you get something new with D3 via WD, graphics, gameplay.....i'm pretty sure they will add new features to the D3 expansion sort of like LOD did (Act 5).
Yeah but .. OLD stuff in an expansion? just makes no sense to me. Hell i got nothin agianst the necromancer... He was the first character i played with and got to 99 with. Just seems wierd to pay for something old in an expansion pack lol.
But you must know he is going to be revamped like the barb. Blizz is going to see all the disgruntled fans out there and probably put them in.....i'm not a huge fan of the necro but another new character or two could be introduced with the necro.....who knows?
I also didn't really care for the witch doctors critters, at least I didn't identify with them. If he's a witch doctor then he should be raising an army of zombies (and not just a wall of them as an attack) that follow you around all over and do your bidding, now that would be cool.
