The Diablo 4 Necromancer class is able to bring forth an undead army to do their bidding, or use the power of blood and darkness to siphon life force directly from their enemies.
As such, it’s a class you don’t want to miss out on trying in the Diablo 4 Beta.
Here’s everything you need to know about when Diablo 4’s Open Beta will end.
Why Was Necromancer Locked in Diablo 4 Beta?
The Necromancer Class was locked because it was not available in the Diablo 4 Early Access weekend.
Like the Druid Class, the Necromancer only unlocked during next weekend’s Open Beta, beginning on March 24, 2023.
Both classes will also be available right away on Diablo IV’s launch day: June 6, 2023.
All Necromancer Abilities in Diablo 4

- Use Bone magic to physically assail enemies, increasing in power the more Essence you collect.
- Darkness
