Necromancer has a strange history throughoutDiablo 4so far. In beta, they were very strong and had incredibly overpowered minions. But a nerf right before the release of the game saw them get heavily nerfed, and their minions were made almost useless. Finally, with Season 2, Necromancers have been brought back in line with the other classes. Minions are strong again, adding more build diversity as well. If you take a look at ourClass Tier List, you will see that Necromancer is our absolute best class for leveling.
