Comprised of controlled, calculating individuals, the Priests of Rathma have long known the true stakes at the heart of the Eternal Conflict. Known to uneducated outsiders as Necromancers, these masters of blood, bone, and the dark arts are often misunderstood. Driven to protect the Balance at all costs, those dedicated to walking this path see neither good nor evil in their actions; simply obedience to the cycle of being.

The release date and price for The Rice of the Necromancer Pack
chinese necro incoming!
listo para mi coleccion
15 Eurodollar? HAHAHAHAHAHA NOPE! They think we're stupid?
Let the hate commence. People will find a reason to complain about anything. I'm looking forward to playing the Necromancer. It is a fun class to play and I had a blast with it in the Beta.
Though curious if I'll have to remake my build I posted or will it be transferred to live status once the pack is released.
15 USD = 15 EUR.. Math fail.
15 USD without taxes = 15 EUR with tax, yeah retarded murricans list prices without tax, talk about misleading customers, it's american nature. Just leads to enraged Europeans, they should list prices that you actually pay, but i guess it's hard to code value for each state tax. But why even physical stores?
$15 dollars to support D3 and play a new class seems like a great deal to me. For those not interested or don't see the value in it, there is also free content coming in 2.6 - which is a win-win in my book
Apparently, others out there have not played other DLC bloated games. this is OK for me. Sheesh my son has spend tons of money for all his Payday2 DLC. This will be fun. along with the new areas in 2.6.0. They have done a lot for not charging extra since the seasons started.
something something Fall of Oriath
If I buy the pack for PC, will I have to rebuy it on consoles (PS4 for that matter)?
So far I haven't found a clear answer anywhere.
I was ready to pay 30+ for this. Necro was my main through 80% of my thousands of hours with D2 and now that he's back he will be my main again!
Fuck you Blizzard. I could buy a meal with $15. I definitely won't pay that much for the hundred plus hours I'll spend dicking around on Necro.
The nerve of these people.
Yes. They are entirely different version and don't use the same account in any way.
There aren't many games that give you the PC and console version of it, for the price of one. Only just recently, Microsoft started doing that with a very select few titles.

On another not:
I'm totally fine with this price. I was actually expecting the $15 pricetag.
$15 is really nothing - even for someone like me, that's between jobs..
If you really need to complain about such a small amount of money; then you REALLY need to sort out your finances, as you obviously have issues with handling your money..
15 euro isn't bad, considering they had to design a new class. A lot of people are angry here, but if you even bother to read this and type a comment, is it too much? Pretty sure loads of people will do it.
Also even playing 30-40hrs with a class I wanted to most is definitaly worth it for me.
But ye I agree that we're different I don't want to blame anyone for that.
You guys just wait for Demonmonger to come and comment. He will explain you everything. Properly. In details.
I just thought that since all games are linked to one account (including the Overwatch on PS4 etc.) maybe they could check if you've bought the DLC on one platform and add it to other.
