PoE2 Butchers a Classic: Raise Zombie Reduced to a Useless Shadow of PoE1

You're thinking of a different "Classic" Raise Zombie.

Classic Raise Zombie life decayed over time.
Classic Raise Zombie required consistent re-cast.
Classic Raise Zombie required manual Cursing.
Classic Raise Zombie requires manual use of other skills.

What you're talking about is the abomination they made later with 40+ zombies on the screen that pinned enemies in place leaving near no risk or effort on part of the player.

I know this because my still living HC character was from pre-Ascendancy days on my profile.
Personally I like having one big banger pet but what they did with Necro for years was gross.

I never want to see that garbage again. The original zombie was almost fun to play.

You don't have to play poe2 and be mad that it's not poe1.

i play both, while i do enjoy the improved way of skeletons in poe2, i dont see how Zombies in poe2 are in any way shape or form an improvement from poe1.



It does feel like a downgrade. As a zombieplayer on and off since when they where added in poe 1 i feel your pain. I want to use them, but dont really know how atm.

But poe 2 is still being worked at, so i choose to belive that there is more build tools inc we have not seen yet that will solve this questions for the zombie lovers :)


ye im mostly just mentioning in the"hope" that the devs are like "oh shit they right" and in whichever league it may be that it gets fixexd (hopefully before the game gets out of EA)[/quote]


Yes, we voice our thinkigns around things we love in teh game and give feedback. By now i feel shaper has ironed out all the points in all the shapes you could to make it understandable how we feel on it.

But it is slowely going in the right direction i feel atleast every patch with more options for summoners, so thats nice!

And i hope in time we will have a perma zombie army & skellys going around also! ^^
