Spending 2800 Platinum on a flashy Necromancer set won't make one's minions swing any faster.
That being said, it is also important to remember that these items in the Diablo 4 premium store are cosmetics only. The images from the cash shop were shared by Uberkull on the official Diablo subreddit, prompting many players to voice their complaints regarding the game's monetization. Unlike in Path of Exile, Diablo's free-to-play rival, the armor sets in Diablo 4 only fit one class – which makes its equally exorbitant price tag feel significantly more unfair by comparison. The reality paints a different situation, as premium cosmetics in Diablo 4 cost $28 per set, making it even more expensive than Blizzard's free-to-play title Overwatch 2.

When it came out in June 2022, Diablo Immortal notoriously had aggressive microtransactions and people were worried that Blizzard Entertainment would make similar choices with Diablo 4, set to release a year later.
