2. ⚔️ Divided Community Reactions to Necromancer Nerf
· The community is divided on the Necromancer nerf. Some feel the nerf is excessive, while others argue it was a long-overdue adjustment.
· Users who believe the nerf is excessive argue that similar nerfs should be applied to other classes' invincibility/survival skills, such as the Barbarian's 'Undying Rage' or the Crusader's 'Draw and Quarter'.
· Conversely, users who believe the nerf was necessary say that Necromancers were previously too powerful, making it impossible to touch idols in battle.

3. 🤔 Wraith Form Strategic Shift and Developer's Necromancer Pattern
· Necromancers must now exit Wraith Form to deal damage, meaning strategic judgment is required for when to use it.
· Maintaining Wraith Form means sacrificing damage reduction, so balancing offense and defense has become crucial.
· Some users point out that it's unfair for only the Necromancer's Wraith Form to receive a 40% damage reduction, unlike the invincibility skills of Barbarians or Crusaders.
· There's an opinion that developers tend to favor Necromancers, and this nerf might be a temporary adjustment before new essences are added.
· Based on long-term Diablo Immortal experience, there's a pattern where Necromancers, after being nerfed, always returned in a more powerful form.
· Therefore, it's possible that Necromancers will become powerful once again with the Inferno 12 essence update.

· The significant reduction in physical damage and armor penetration in Wraith Form is considered a harsh measure.
· Free-to-play and low-spending users who have invested heavily in potency and armor penetration, specifically building their characters around the Necromancer, may find it difficult to switch classes and could be severely impacted.
