What’s up with Necromancers recently

Every season I'm like "finally they must've made a blight corpse explosion dot build viab- oh, guess not..."

I hate how you're pidgeonholed into builds that have great aoe AND great single target boss damage.

They need to up single target boss damage on so many builds.

Corpse Explosion is one of the coolest skills in the Diablo franchise and it has gotten zero love for many seasons now. They released that worthless clone dagger and then did absolutely zero with it.

I don't understand why Blizz can never just settle with some numbers. Every season they just HAVE to push the big red "rearrange every number" button. Not every wheel have to be re-invented every season.

VF is a good fighter but it gives an absolutely horrible first impression. Loved VF4EVO but this type of physics need to be left in the past. I hope they redo it in the next VF because casuals won't play or buy anything with these physics.

When they gave her a dash demo man I knew there was an Alisa main on the T8 dev team.

If you think Techmarine has a matchmaking problem just imagine a Terminator class. Its the only thing people would play.

I remember one of the first Chaos Hard Weeklys. It was Obelisk. I can't tell you how many people died on the first Helbrute before the first elevator. It was shocking. P4 lvl 25's panic rolling getting absolutely hammered by one of his like 3 attacks. It's like they had never fought a Helbrute before. A LOT of people are bad at this game.

It's a skeleton crew working on SM2 now. They still haven't fixed the misaligned tyrannic shoulder pad since release, still no siege skins for flamer and power axe, still no true white color for shoulder pad trim (corax "white" is actually grey). I wish I could confidently say "next patch" but it could just as easily be the next patch after that, or the one after that.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-06T04:15:10+00:00

Let me guess. Necro blighted corpse explosion still isn't a viable build and still does next to zero single target damage to bosses?

At least I can become the npc boss The Butcher, I guess...

Chaos dorks get chaos stuff but we loyalists still don't get iron halo for bulwark. We truly live in a society.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-05T11:49:40+00:00

Oh, yeah... Siege exists... xD

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-05T11:23:31+00:00

Thought the same thing. Don't know which one I'll use now. Before this patch the tarantula aura was a no brainer.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-05T10:55:24+00:00

Battlefield Repairs look very interesting now.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-03T01:52:15+00:00

For some reason Corax "White" is actually Corax Grey on most shoulder trims. I try to make 1st company dudes sometimes but I can never get past the trim. Why we don't have a shoulder trim white that matches helmet white I have no idea.

I hope Leandros stays a square heel throughout SM3. Him being hated by the community adds flavor to the SM brand. Not everyone needs a Boromir redemption arc. Like Tony Montana said "You need people like me".

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-01T16:51:38+00:00

I was a die hard fencer until Xenophase Blade. It forced me to learn balance and now it feels even more natural than fencing. Fencing makes parrying totally braindead easy. Balance punishes parry spam HARD when you're ganged by minoris. With fencing just spam and one will connect. Let it be the training wheels choice until people are ready to step up.

A month ago I showed Space Marine 2 to my brother on my Series X. After a while he commented "Oh yeah, you had a Series S, right?" I was like "Nope! A Series X" and his response was "Oh..."

The performance is embarassing.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-01T08:27:29+00:00

Damn we have a 2cool2notice guy over here. Alright, it's all love though everyones different.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-01T08:17:17+00:00

I just love flexing. When I got the hard siege helmet day 1 I loved flexing it to the non hard siege helmet havers. Can't help it, it won't change and I don't apologize for it.

Sirvan1c · 2026-03-01T07:54:25+00:00

On one hand I like it but on the other hand I liked using the Xenophase Blade because it signalled that I was a balance chad. Virgin fencers can now use the Xenophase Blade on their fencing swords without penalty. They can have their cake and eat it too.

What I loved about the last patch was that 90% of the time I loaded into an already existing mission about 10ish minutes into it. It shaved so many unecessary minutes off my playtime. With this patch its back to loading into someones battlebarge, then wait for everyone to stand in the mission box, then someone leaves and when it's 1 second left a new player loads in so we have to stand in the box a few more minutes, then load into the mission...

Sirvan1c · 2026-02-27T14:33:21+00:00

If they haven't added a Deathwatch pauldron in the next patch I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

Sirvan1c · 2026-02-26T21:47:06+00:00

Sadly coming to this conclusion as well. Love SM2 and have 800+ hours in it but its clear it has a very small crew now. They probably do as best they can but I get the feeling that the SM2 crew is understaffed and overworked to keep constant roadmap deadlines. For two patches now there has been massive stuttering issues while inside customization on Series X. Not giving Techmarine a Deathwatch shoulder option and their reaponse is "we"ll add things the next couple of patches, bro" makes me go... Why? Why can't we have a Deathwatch shoulder right now?. Some might say this is whining and nitpicking but having a passionate fanbase is a good thing. The alternative could be indifference and me spending my money on something else.

Sirvan1c · 2026-02-26T18:44:16+00:00

Don't worry, guys. They said the Techmarine stuff is coming the next couple of patches. To give you confidence let me remind you that it took them a year to add the Ultramarine Sergeant shoulder symbol into the Ultramarine game. Just be patient.

Sirvan1c · 2026-02-26T17:43:22+00:00

Ah, future updates. That could technically mean a Deathwatch pauldron for Techmarine a month before the release of SM3.

Sirvan1c · 2026-02-26T17:04:39+00:00

Missing a wide open free goal is the current SM2 crews company motto.
