"Diablo 3" will soon receive the Necromancer DLC in the next few months as the first half of 2017 is almost over. Blizzard has recently confirmed the heaps of additional items that are on their way to the game.

In a most recent Q&A, Senior Game Designer Travis Day and Lead VFX Artist Julian Love were asked what is included in the in the Necromancer pack besides legendary items and set dungeons. Blizzard's power duo then confirmed that fans can expect two character slots, two stash tabs, pennant, banner, pet, wings, and portrait frame.

In addition, they were further quizzed whether a Blood Mage or Dracula type of Necromancer will be present in the upcoming DLC for "Diablo 3". To which, they both answered positively.

They said that the Blood Necromancer set will remind players of the famous Brahm Stoker's Dracula. The two also noted that that set will be majorly tied to the health mechanic, via Diabloii.net.

The Necromancer DLC for "Diablo 3" is also planned to provide other skills for the lackluster Plague set such as the Bone Spirit to the 6-piece bonus. Day and Love said that the set balance on the PTR is "wildly disparate" so, there will be powerful items to arrive next week.

It is also confirmed tons of armor pieces that are not set related will be coming on Tuesday, May 9. As for fixing the number of pet trackers, fans should be able to have everything tracked but if not, it will be added to the game. 

Lastly, the duo has also revealed the rewards at stake upon completion of the Necro set dungeons. Players will be receiving two pennants, citing that the the Necromancer set dungeons are separate from the other set dungeons. In order to get the wings, players only need to complete the original dungeons. 

There was no update on the release date of the Necromancer DLC for "Diablo 3", however. So, it is supposed that what Blizzard announced earlier via Battle Net still holds, hence, it is still planning to the pack in second half of 2017.
