Though honestly, it seems like a lot of people liked the sluggish gameplay because to them it felt more weighty and meaningful. Playing a ranged rogue was fine, but was not really doing it for me in the way that the Demon Hunter did in Diablo III. The players that opted to play the Sorceror or the Necromancer had pretty good experiences. I think maybe my general takeaway is that much like Path of Exile… playing melee is arguably the wrong choice. All signs point to the Druid feeling even worse than the Barbarian did. However, after watching this video from Wudijo… I decided against it. I contemplated trying out the Druid, because that is another class I have liked quite a bit in the past and wished that Diablo 3 got. I had accomplished the ephemeral goal I had for the weekend which was maxing out the Necromancer and was largely done with the game after that.
I stopped playing a little way into Saturday because after hitting 25… I just felt like I didn’t care enough to keep playing. I’m seeing quite a few comments showing up in my threads about how much they enjoyed the experience. The thing is… the game that is there seems to be what a lot of players wanted. I’ve tried to give you a close approximation over my several posts about Diablo IV… but none of them really explain the totality of the experience. There was a side thread going on over slack about how they felt like the game just was wrong, that there was something not right with the combat, and that they could not put their finger on it either. Then Ace played it and had some of the exact same comments. I thought maybe I was struggling to grasp the brilliance of this game. You would think that the Necromancer would have improved my opinions of Diablo IV, but in truth, it didn’t because there is something intangibly wrong with this game and it is almost impossible to put my finger on it. Necromancer felt pretty solid and honestly a bit on the grossly overpowered side, and Barbarian felt like I had made a mistake at the character selection screen. At this point, I have leveled Barbarian and Necromancer both to 25, and they were wildly different experiences. That gameplay is something that I have enjoyed greatly in other games, so I figured it was worth a shot here as well. This past weekend was the Open Beta for Diablo IV and since my friend Ace was going to give it a spin, I thought I would try out the Necromancer.
