Witch Doctor had been the de facto “pet class” of Diablo III since the game’s original launch. The first and most obvious task we had before us was differentiating the Necromancer from the Witch Doctor. But it was also a big challenge to bring this character back for a new generation by adding him to what is a completely different game. So when we finally got together and decided we were officially going to make the Necromancer for Diablo III, I was like: “Hell yeah, let’s do it!” It was a big honor. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Diablo franchise as a player and now a designer, years at this point, and the D2 Necromancer is definitely one of the most memorable parts of that. That was some of the most fun I’ve ever had gaming. I remember my brother and I installed Diablo II and we both picked the Necromancer, and we both ran around exploding corpses and reviving monsters for hours. Childhood might not be a fair term I wasn’t a child when I first played Diablo II, but I wasn’t exactly an adult either. The Necromancer was a childhood favorite of mine.
