Well if you like polls so much, why don't you make one out of this thread. It will probably equate to 99%. But before you say" well, that doesn't mean everyone!"
Hmmm...actually polls do nothing to me. I just think it's bad to generalize because I quote you:
Let me remind you that polls never encompass everyone.
So I don't recall seing the phrase, he is bad in there. Not as good as someone else doesn't equate to bad. Otherwise that would be like saying every NBA player sucks at Basketball since they aren't as good as M.J.
Oh boy, what is this now? Shall we leave the argumentation of semantics for lawyers and keep them for courtrooms? You were bashing the necro without finding much good compared to other chars... What could that mean? I assumed you found him bad. If my assumption was wrong, then my apologies. My mistake.
Like I said before, if summoning mindless skeletons and kicking back while they have fun, blowing corpses in empty rooms and making walls of bone is your thing... Then by all means.
The only point I was trying to make. Good we found a common point.
I can honestly say that the necro is the only character I ever fell asleep on while playing. Summoner is way too easy, when your summons get powerfull, you don't even have to dodge or do anything really. Just kinda walk through every room and watch the action unfold.
Kinda like watching someone else play a game...
You have your opinion and I respect that. You found it boring. I enjoyed it.Monica...that's the one:P
The only time you are proactive, is when you hit a phys immune in Hell Difficulty. Then you actually require a right click to curse him.
See? With all the faults you elaborated on, how do I NOT assume you think this char is actually bad?
In any case...your taste...my taste...matters not but to ourselves.
I don't know which wave of necro haters you guys are expecting...Since 99 percent of all people on this site are all necro groupies.:facepalm:
Not that I'm a necro hater either..I thought he was a great character.
Although sometimes a pissoff lagger, he was what I considered an original concept.
The thing is that he wasn't nearly as good as other chars at doing the same shit.
Sorc MFed 1000X better than a necro.
Assassin and Pally PK/PvP 1000X better than a necro.
Javazons and Hammerdins solo Hell and bosses 100000X better than a necro. Ive heard of Hammerdins soloing Ubers, not necros..
Soooo. What's left...?
Oh yeah, game lagging, Necro really does it 1000 X better than everyone else. I do admit.
Like I said...I find Monica Bellucci really HOT!
Edit- Hmmm...you seem to have access to some secret poll about who finds necro to be best char or not. Will you share the results?
Why oh why do so many people like necro when he's so bad? We wonders preciousss...we wonders...
However let's put the truth as it is:
The Necromancer IS THE best class.
*prepares his flamethrower as he waits for necro haters*:P
Honestly though, I feel each class in D2 offered decent variety of gameplay so you possibly find good reason to try each character without a feeling of deja vu. So the 'best class' will be different for each person according to their tastes...
And the general mood associated with the necromancer was that he was the outcast one with skills that involved a greater understanding of both life and death. Being able to revive monsters, summon skeletons definitely gave him the dark feel the OP I think was trying to describe.
In that respect, the witchdoctor is definitely a worthy replacement...with zombies and mongrels...toads and spiders and possibly 'voodoo magic'...
However the necro offered a unique gameplay that involved the exclusive use of summons as main damage output which was quite fascinating and why I think there might still be a place for this kickass character. Most of his skills can be improved and added on, despite what people(Jay Wilson did) might be saying about him being too perfect...
I dont get how so many people became Necromancer Nut Huggers.
Every time I log on to Diablofans.com, all I seem to be reading about
are people crying over the fact that the barb got the comeback spot
over the game lagging Necromancer.
I just don't think he was that good. The only way he ever did anything
relevant was by spamming homing missiles (Bone Spirit) or by using the
overpowered teleport from Enigma, matched with the lack of clipping
balance with summons who would all focus in the center whenever you teleported, to insta kill in PvP.
Thats' just lame in my book. Kinda like Tele+WW.
Clay,Blood,Fire golems couldn't kill shit. Only an Iron Golem
could but that's just cause he had Iron Maiden.
Skellies were powerful, but were useless in PVP unless matched
with Teleport for focus fire. Since they were so stupid.
Curses were the only thing usefull about a necro in a multiplayer game.
Everytime Hardcore Baal Runs would encounter summoners, everyone would leave since they lagged the shit outa the game.
Poison spells couldn't do shit unless u had 0 resist to poison...
Some will jump on this post and claim Corpse Explosion was so godly, but was it?
In a good Multiplayer game with strong chars, you wouldn''t even have time to blow
up anything before the other players were done with every monsters in the room.
One frozen orb, a Hammer, and a Lightning Jav and boom!, nothing to explode but air.
So...what's so good about the necro again?
What is this blasphemy?
What's good about the necro?
1.First of all, the best background story! Please do not even argue this one. It cannot be argued. Why? Because I said so... Nah...jking:P
2.The sarcasm behind his words greeting quests completion beats Sianoq by far...
3.His summons are sexy!
4.His poison spells are even more dangerous than my friend John's fart! Hmmm...debatable this one... I nearly died last time...
5.His curses are....like you said- Great!
6.His bone spells looks....uhm...idk...Is 'cool' a good word?
As for the lag...summoners don't need anybody to play with. If they are looking for ppl to play...they suck! You are surrounded by all these uber-sexy summons and you want a barb in your party.....
Seriously though i find Monica Belluci really HOT! I guess you can find ten reasons why you don't like her(you cannot be serious on this one!), it means only one thing- it's matter of preference.
And I think we are making the same mistake as people(in sanctuary) to label the necromancer as a dark character. He upholds balance. What's with a little innocent skeleton...or some nice poison cloud and a little curse here and there got to do with being a dark character?
Blowing a few demon corpses ain't bad at all either.
*cries* I want the necro back...
