==Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls original release==
The non-inclusion of the Necromancer in Diablo III was greeted with a great deal of protest by loyal fans, and as a result Blizzard has repeatedly had to explain why they made the decision. Their main argument was that the Necromancer was done so well in D2 that they didn't see much to improve upon in D3, and didn't want to just repeat the same character in the new game. This contrasts to the [[Barbarian]], who they thought they could update and reinvent in interesting ways.
