Necromancer Skeletons Buffed in Diablo 4 Server Slam

We’ve seen many players complain about the nerf to Necromancers since the previous beta phase. The weakness and very quick deaths of skeleton skills was one of the primary concerns. However, we just heard that skeletons are in the process of getting buffed right now, as Community Manager PezRadar announced:

Just a heads up:

We have pushed out a server side hotfix for #DiabloIV Server Slam to address feedback regarding Necromancer minion survivability. This will take a few hours to propagate on all servers globally. This is a backend update.

Hi all –

The team has just deployed a hotfix for the Diablo IV Server Slam that will be addressing some of the feedback we’ve seen regarding Necromancer pets and their survivability. This is a backend change so users will not need to download a new update. The hotfix will take a few hours to deploy to all users.

Just a reminder, the Server Slam test will be ending at 12:00PM PDT on Sunday. Thanks again to everyone who has logged in over the weekend to help test our servers prior to the launch of Diablo IV.
