Melee specialist
We’re only a week out from Xul the Necromancer joiningHeroes of the Storm.
TheDiablo IIcharacter class was a fan favorite, at least in my circles, and that seems true of some folks on the development team, too.HotSgame designer Dustin Browderpreviously talked abouthow “people became very passionate about which version of the Necromancer should ultimately go into the game,” and noted that the hero took “easily twelve or more [weeks]” in the concept phrase compared to the typical six-to-eight-week schedule.

AnotherDiablocharacter, and a specialist, at that? I’m glad to hear it.
Prepare yourselves, heroes – Xul and his minions arrive next week!pic.twitter.com/SBBksJYZ5c
