Heroes of the Storm welcomes the Necromancer next week

Melee specialist

We’re only a week out from Xul the Necromancer joining Heroes of the Storm.

The Diablo II character class was a fan favorite, at least in my circles, and that seems true of some folks on the development team, too. HotS game designer Dustin Browder previously talked about how “people became very passionate about which version of the Necromancer should ultimately go into the game,” and noted that the hero took “easily twelve or more [weeks]” in the concept phrase compared to the typical six-to-eight-week schedule.

Another Diablo character, and a specialist, at that? I’m glad to hear it.
