What's the point of killing Necromancers? Can't they make balanced changes instead of making it unplayable?

Elemental Equilibrium / Vengeful + Precise Medium Clusters / Syndicate Operatives shotgun / RMR changes

Good changes show an alternative instead of just removal:

>Syndicate Operative's projectiles could have been spread out more instead of only one projectile damaging enemies- requiring better positioning. Only one projectile from each Spectre would make them unusable. GGG hopefully buffs others to make a replacement or comes out with useable ones this League.
>RMR changes seem fair and I wish this same level of weighing options could be applies in all the balancing changes they do.

GGG should be asking players who spend thousands of hours into their game for suggestions / critiques but it's people who just look at numbers and don't even really play the game that's in charge it seems like.
Elementalist were the most played last league to one of the least played on 3.15 and they're doing the same thing to Necros. Necromancers in PoE has one of the most original classes designed in any game and it's sad that they don't seem to know how to nerf without destroying.

Not mad, the new content looks really good but at the cost of making an entire ascendancy unplayable. Hopefully GGG can maybe test out the new changes with all the things they are changing to Necros and see how they would perform with the new changes and adjust things accordingly.

Necros are able to do all contents but at the cost of a higher budget. Only played for 2 leagues and it has forced me to learn to craft things to make everything more affordable- and I'm thankful for that. As Necros looks now, it would just be better to throw exalts at another build for easier access to higher end contents. Reaper would not be the answer either, that just needs an overhaul.

Is the Poisonous Concoction mod that adds 3% of life recovery based on what you would recover from the flask (affected by passive tree, belt mods, etc) or the base amount of the flask?
