SKILL: GRIM SCYTHE. This new skill makes great damage through its huge scythe in a wide arc. The Grim Scythe is essential to "Diablo 3" players as this can be restored Essence and produce powerful damage.

SKILL: LEECH. This skill is a powerful spell that helps "Diablo 3" players to transfer a portion of the health of attacked enemies to the players, themselves and even to their allies. Blizzard promotes teamwork through this new skill.

SKILL RUNE: DEATH NOVA (BLOOD NOVA). Death Nova skill has five skill runes and this Blood Nova is one of them. The Blood Nova creates outstanding damage that is why it comes with a cost too - the player's Essence and Health.

SKILL RUNE: DEVOUR (CANNIBALIZE). This new skill rune is a resource-regeneration skill which enables the "Diablo 3" player to gain back Essence. However, the process requires the player to consume the corpses of his enemies to regain Essence and Health as well.

SKILL RUNE: RAISE GOLEM (BLOOD GOLEM). "Diablo III" fans can now see Blood Golem has been dressed up with skills, animations and clever tricks. The best part is, Blood Golem is one dependable ally who is willing to sacrifice himself just to be able to heal you. Although he will sacrifice himself, the update also mentioned that he can reconstruct himself at a glance.

Necromancer is accessible by the upcoming "Diablo 3" season 10.
