Following the Diablo III Wizard Li-Ming, Blizzard announces that another powerful Diablo world hero necromancers Xul has already arrived in Nexus. As a necromancer, Xul never come to battle alone, thanks to his trait, Raise Skeleton. This allows the necromancer to call up the dead to do his bidding, calling up a new servant for every enemy minion he kills. Here are his other abilities:
(Q) Spectral Scythe - It takes a moment to start up, but Xul charges up his scythe and tosses it forward, like a boomerang. It will deal moderate damage to foes that get caught on its way up and on its way back.
(W) Cursed Strikes - This allows Xul to charge up his melee weapon, granting him area-of-effect damage on basic attacks for a short period. Any enemy hero hit will see their attack speed slowed.
(E) Bone Prison - This is another slow startup attack, but when it starts up, Xul summons a bone prison from underneath a target. The affected foe will be stopped for a brief period, setting that enemy up for a barrage of attacks from teammates.
(1) Bone Armor - This is a unique fourth ability for Xul, one that surrounds him with a shield. Upon reaching a level one talent during any session, the player will select whether Bone Armor can deal damage, slow down enemies, or allow Xul to evade basic attacks.
(R1) Poison Nova - This Heroic ability takes a moment to start up, but then Xul will unleash waves of poison projectiles that will stretch a significant distance. Any target hit will suffer significant poison damage for a prolonged period.
(R2) Skeletal Mages - Xul's other Heroic ability summons a foursome of undead wizards. They'll pop up in a straight line and fire on enemies, causing damage and slowness to anyone hit.
