The Necromancer in Diablo 4 is an individual who follows the teachings of Rathma. They think on the balance between good and evil, for there is no greater equalizer than death.

Likewise, do note that the classes in the game use tiers/groupings for each skill and talent, unlocked once you've spent enough skill points.
