Why Season 11 and Necromancer don't release at the same time?

[Kontinuum]

Bone armor set is now the best.

Probably, but Rathma was in the Gift.
It is possible there will be some balance changes before S11.

We can assume they'll stick with what they did in Beta, probably, so Rathma it is!

Which one is that again?

Yeah, no surprise. It was the most popular set on PTR, and blizz know it's the most "iconic" playstyle, it's no surprise they'd release that one first.

I'll probably grab that on Journey, then use it to grind out the leg's needed for my Inarius build.

Go jump in the game and participate in 10 public games. The vast majority of them will be only Necromancers in your party. This would have been what the entire season looked like if they launched at the same time. It's still going to be Necro heavy, but at least it will be diluted a bit.

Because... it's the only new bit of content we've received in a while? Also, the Season wasn't going to be purely Necromancer or even close to it. It's a fun class but it's not enough to get people to completely forego what they enjoyed prior to its release.

I am ok with one week difference.
But no, 4 weeks.

Does it give non-season a head start?

To balance it and find exploits before they jump onto the season ?

Just take a second to think about it and also observe in game. It's a brand-new shiny and the non season game is like 75% Necromancer right now. If a season launched at the same time as the class, everyone would kill two birds with one stone and check out the class on a seasonal Necromancer. Most cycle through classes for seasonal characters. It's still going to be heavy on Necromancers, but it's WAY better this way, giving people a little time to check out the class and then proceed with whatever they planned for the season.

because blizzard wanted us to test it for one month before season 11, so they can put all fix it need to had
