The player using the Necromancer will see the full effects of skill-use, while players in a party will see a more basic visual display. New technology has been developed for the Necromancer, as it's an effects-heavy class.

The Necromancer is playable in both Campaign and Adventure Mode, fully voiced, and has new tomes to flesh out their backstory. New achievements were implemented along with the Necromancer. To use the pack, one needs to have Reaper of Souls installed for PC or have the Ultimate Evil Edition for console.

The pack was released on June 27 of 2017, and costs $14.99 USD in North America. The Necromancer is available in the Rise of the Necromancer pack, released at the same time as patch 2.6.0 came out. The Necromancer's core stat is Intelligence. As such, Convention of Elements is especially effective for Necromancers. The three Elemental Damage types are Poison (blight), Physical (blood and bone) and Cold (chill of the grave). In combat, they rely on bone and blood spells, Curses, Golems and undead minions.

Necromancers in Diablo III are very similar to the Diablo II class, and retain most of their skills.
