Overall other than some summoning buffs Necromancer was in a good spot. The Necromancer:Ībout time I can make a Magemancer! Followed up with a slightly improved Fire Golem and we can elemental these minions to oblivion.

If you’re doing either of the improved Nova skills, he might work good their as well. Gearing this lady up has always been pretty much the same, get some +skills and go for the eyes! The Frenzy Barbarian might be a good choice if your set on using Inferno as his taunt will come in handy and he can keep enemies at bay while you use your improved armor skill to avoid a bit of damage. Thunderstorm still needs a lot of work to be remotely usable seriously.

Nova and Thunderstorm gained a damage synergy from Static Field.

Already a niche build with a bit of improvement here.

Frost Nova increased damage by about 25%.

Changes to Armor skills all around, Chilling looks to be much improved.

Blaze added a speed bonus and increased damage by 60%.

Inferno got improved, time will tell if it is useable.

They actually had to nerf it because it was too powerful with buffs.

Hydras cap at 6 and don’t have a cooldown anymore.

In general casting delays removed from other skills to allow you to multi spam different ones now (Blizzard and Meteor for example). Let us see where she got some new toys, which mainly come in the way of one skill in particular. The updated Blaze might lead me to a fast victory, and I’ll probably dabble in an Inferno hot head as well at some point. I usually play Hardcore only and her and I do not gel well with the majority of my characters failing to make it out of Act 1 normal. I’m going to admit, this is by far the class I play the least.

First up though is our trusty spellcaster who has always been a solid Magic finding champion.

Wait, was that someone using a Holy Bolt in my party against Lister? I swore I heard it was the new hammer and a leading contender for a 125 FCR Paladin build possibly?!!! The other two classes get some updates as well, but I’m thinking the Paladin is going to walk away with the overall win in 2.4 with the changes to Holy: Fire/Freeze/Shock auras as well. Today we cover the changes on the final three characters that get a little bit of spice added to their arsenals.
