They said at BlizzCon "late" 2017, so I don't know why that's a surprise to you.

Personally I'm just excited that D3 is getting any new content at all, beyond a handful of new legendaries.

didn't they say "first half of 2017"? i already found that way too long, but apparently we will get it just before blizzcon.
also: content?
- a fan service class for an outrageous price (anything above 5 euros / dollars IS outrageous)
- set dungeons which are four already known tilesets with some conditions to be met weren't content when they first arrived
- four new sets with some art which empower enough skills to differentiate four specs, one of them will be the best and the rest garbage
- and i am already at a loss here. was there anything more to that DLC? i think it was one zone or something like that, not that it would matter since we already breeze through every zone without unique characteristics and only looking for big packs of mobs
the rest of the game will be unafflicted by this thing. maybe they have one guy to write the quest dialogue for the necro (and sure as hell voice the class, too), the rest is just another class. not like the crusader, where the class came with a lot more.
we still have all the old stuff in this game, we got screwed on those two QoL changes and we are still severly disconnected from the developers.
just yesterday i logged on and tried to build some spec i read about. yeah, some hundred items in my mail and no place to store that crap. or compare items i found in whatever season they came from to items i already have. next thing i did was to try craft / cube yellows to get the items needed for the spec, since i hadn't stored enough of that stuff SOMEWHERE. i gave up after 30 minutes, couldn't even bring myself to enter a rift / grift. diablo 4 can't come quick enough.

I went to another game SWTOR after the huge disappointment of the 20 year anniversary dungeon, which was so unbelievable bad. It's funny how much content other games make, in 3 months there is the equivalent to 8 years of D3 content.

So now its waiting time again hoping speculating.. seems like that is the one thing D3 endgame is about hoping someone would care to make something worthwhile..

As expected zzzzzzzz stuff for the most part we already knew and most of what was said that's new info is disappointing. Unreal....

Yep POE is now working on their fifth expansion not to mention every league introduces a new game mechanic which stays in the game once that league is over , and there's about 200 builds in the the game that end game viable something diablo three will never have both more than a dozen builds and end game content worth doing.

While nothing gets me SUPER hyped, I like the sound of a Tanky Melee Necro, specialising in health drain and Golems. Fingers crossed that will be a supported build...

No, it was definitely stated as coming in second half of 2017 during one of their two Blizzcon D3 presentations.

Content that will come with the necromancer includes two character slots, two stash tabs, a pet, and a portrait frame. The new areas and QoL changes will be patched in so if you don't purchase the necro, you'll still get these things.

RE your stash space issues, if it's to the point where it makes moving stuff around nigh impossible (been there myself), I suggest doing a very aggressive cull of your items. Just get rid of the ones that aren't legacy items of use still as well as any items you're not using and are not used for the build you want to make.

Assuming, you have unlocked your 4 stash tabs from seasons, you'll have some hope of storing all set items and complimentary legendaries for the popular builds. I found it particularly hard to do this until my 9th tab was unlocked and even then, I had to use every character slot as a mule when that character wasn't being played.

Hoping they do another one of these soon. Can't wait for the Necro

seems like its gonna be too little too late, but we'll see

Q & (maybe) A

'Yep POE is now working on their fifth expansion...'

why exactly are poe players in every goddamn diablo thread/post on every website advertising their game?
seriously, we get it, poe is great.
(not.)

im really looking forward to play the necro and considering i have had years (with breaks) fun with diablo 3, the seasons, the changes being made to builds over the time and tinkering out builds, i dont give that much of a fuck how much the necro dlc will cost, ill buy it and i will have at least one fuckton of fun with it.

It sounds like you're jealous, trying to convince yourself of something you don't actually want. And mentioning "with breaks" even someone like you that attacks and cursing to get his point across mentions you take breaks on a game. If it was a good game you wouldn't have a desire to no play it at times:)

Hes not the one on a Diablo Fan site talking about another game. If you have so much time to waste on a game you obviously dont like then use it to play the almighty POE. Now i am a fan of both so not hating on POE

I think poe players spend more time on D3 forums than in Poe.

Nole just throwing in the honorary truths of things around here

No one is taking offense to that. People are taking offense to you coming to a Diablo FAN site to talk crap.

FIrst of, if you 'take offense' to that, you have serious problems, second, being honest isn't talking crap. Wake up.

lol It has nothing to do with honesty. You are coming to a FAN site to talk crap about a game which is what the site is for lmao. As i said before if you have so much time to talk crap about one game and advertise another then that game must not be worth playing.

While nothing gets me SUPER hyped, I like the sound of a Tanky Melee Necro, specialising in health drain and Golems. Fingers crossed that will be a supported build...

There are already Tanky Melee heroes with summons and with abilities or builds to ''gain/drain somehow health'' , so basically it will be nothing new .
And there is no certainty that the build you mentioned will be viable for the Class.

Really? Because I've played Tanky heroes, I've played Pet heroes, but as of right now, I've not played any Tanky Pet heroes. Also, Drain =\= Gain, I'm specifically after a vampiric health drain build, which seems MORE than possible, as they made a point to specifically mention that the Necro will have ways to drain the enemies health.

But yeah, please point me towards a tanky pet build. Solo pet btw, I don't want to be managing a whole fekkin zoo.

And I know there's no certainly the build I'm looking for will be supported, that's why I said "Fingers crossed that will be a supported build"... i mean, as of right now we can only really guess with any certainty at TWO sets for WD:
1: a Pet set, probably based around Skellies. Heavy pet damage, mid to low Necro damage.
2: a Nuke set. Heavy Necro damage, slim to no pet damage.

BUT, as we know there are four sets on release, it's not impossible to imagine that one of those sets COULD be a middle ground set. Focusing on a balanced damage profile, partially pet, partially nukes. for those that want a little of both. Something similar to Helltooth Gargs, where you deal damage with the necro to increase the damage of your pet and vice versa.
