Much of the feedback from this set has been that the bonuses it provides are not nearly impactful enough to justify its use, despite Beautiful Corpse being an interesting effect that allows for some clever and new uses of the Necromancer toolkit. In order to reinforce the Necromancer’s defiance of Death itself, we’ve added more aptly powerful and thematic bonuses to help them gain some potent staying power in battle.

Originally during testing, this set went through many iterations to try and avoid behavior where the set could enable Nightblades to become incredibly powerful in areas they have not been; many restrictions and regulations were put in place to attempt to quell issues. As the set went to the PTS and we began receiving feedback, much of this feedback was pointed at how overly complicated the set seemed to be. As such, we’ve simplified the set immensely while also easing back on its ceiling potential, correcting both some of the insane power the class obtained when not using their Ultimate, while also allowing the set to fit into the normal play patterns Nightblade is traditionally played – where it can utilize Ultimates more rapidly than most other classes due to its passives and costs. It’s our hope that the set still remains impactful at enabling Nightblades to tap into the Siphoning power fantasies more effectively, with an outcome that is simpler to use and understand.
