Blizzard's Remaking Diablo Within Diablo III, Plus Necromancer reveal


Blizzard's going to release a remake inside of Diablo III as part of a 20th anniversary patch. It will have a 16-level dungeon and the four main bosses from the first Diablo. It will be called the Darkening of Tristram and will be free to all Reaper of Souls owners on both PC and console. Blizzard said in a press release:

"Celebrate 20 years of Diablo by traveling back into the depths of the Cathedral where it all began in this upcoming Diablo III: Reaper of Souls content update. Get ready to explore a monster-filled dungeon 16 levels deep, and come face to face with the four main bosses from the original game—all with retro touches like special graphics filters and eight-direction character movement."

The patch will be on the ptr next week.

This is exciting! Time to start playing Diablo again. I kind of got out of it after getting bored with barbarian builds. I experimented with a really cool zombie bears witch doctor build but I used mainly barbs for those higher torment levels.

Blizzard's also going to have a Necromancer pack that will add the necromancer to the game as well as an in-game pet, two more character slots, two more stash tabs (on PC), a portrait frame, pennant, banner, and banner sigil. 

Check out all the info about it and watch the cinematic trailer for the necromancer here.

This might get me back into playing Diablo. The main reason I stopped playing was that I didn't find it competitive enough for me. It felt more like a grind to me in way. I preferred playing Diablo II pvp back in the day when I was a middleschooler. My best character was a level 98 elemental tornado (nado) druid. Good times playing pvp in D2. My friends were always playing and liked to go pking (player killing) together. A lot of trolling went on back then. :D

So yeah this will be a game changer for Diablo. It's always been a pretty popular game and the necro will definitely make it better. Who wouldn't want to wield the powers of the undead and spells?
