(2023) Introducing the Necromancer Arsenal

Heroes!

We’ve seen some questions regarding Sienna’s arsenal with the launch of Necromancer so we’ve gone ahead and prepared this graphic for you all to reference at a glance!




The new weapons coming with the Necromancer career are the Ensorcelled Reaper, a slow but powerful scythe weapon, and the Soulstealer Staff, which seeks out lives to snuff as it lives up to its name…

While these spooky weapons perfectly fit the withered hands of any Necromancer, this is still our Sienna! As a Necromancer, she will still have access to all of her existing staves and melee weapons, with the exception of the Flamestorm Staff.

Additionally, of her new weapons, the Ensorcelled Reaper will also be available to her previous careers, while the vile magicks of the Soulstealer Staff are exclusive to the Necromancer career.

We know you’re anxious for more news and information! In the coming weeks we’ll be releasing some dev blogs about Necromancer, starting with one focused on the lore and narrative of the career. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, in case you missed it, the people at Gamereactor interviewed us during Gamescom and they got to ask some questions and have a go at Necromancer Sienna, here’s the link to the article[www.gamereactor.eu].

I don’t think any of the DLC classes got a full array except Warrior Priest, which had to do with lore-wise, his class couldn’t use a lot of Victor’s already existing weapon set. The rest having two new is pretty standard for our releases.

Weapon breakdown per career DLC:

  • Grail Knight: Bret. Longsword & Bret. Sword and Shield
  • Outcast Engineer: Masterwork Pistol & Coghammer
  • Sister of the Thorn: Briar Javelin & Deepwood Staff
  • Warrior Priest: Holy Great Hammer, Flail & Shield, Paired Skull-Splitters, Skull-Splitter and Blessed Tome, Skull-Splitter & Shield, Skull-Splitter Hammer*
  • Necromancer: Ensorcelled Reaper & Soulstealer Staff

Weapons like Moonfire Bow, etc. are part of the Forgotten Relics pack, Winds of Magic, or Back to Ubersreik and not part of career DLC.

*Outlier - Additional weapons were created due to lore reasons that locked Warrior Priest out of Victor’s other shared career weapons.
