Necromancer really fits its class theme

H_E

Necromancer dps really fits its class theme, its dead and just a worse version of anything else with the only thing keeping it viable played being it can apply EC better than other classes which will only last until spell scribing comes out when it will then be valid and reasonable response to kick any cro dps from groups

Want aoe damage: arc, dk out class cro
Want single target damage: arc, nb, sorc, plar, warden out parse cro
want burst damage in pve: arc, dk, sorc, nb, warden out class cro
want to do damage to a moving target: arc, dk, sorc, nb, plar out class cro
want an execute: plar, nb, warden do so far better then cro
need unique group buffs: pick any other class
need common non unique group buffs again pick any other class that isn't replaceable with an item set

there are 0 situations cro is the best option in pve due to how little damage it does and reliant on other for all and any buffs, making the rotation do less damage or be less complex and hit for even less then the complex one isn't the solution to a class struggling to keep its damage on enemies just for said damage to be mediocre

the class is in need of desperate buffs to damage above anything else, not 10%-20% damage nerfs on its main damage ability while the most oppressive damage class receive a measly 7% damage nerf on their main damage

really baffles the mind why the worst dps class is getting its damage nerfed?

Necro has been terrible for quite some time now, I really hope it changes as I desperately want to go back to playing one. For a class that has such a difficult rotation - one would expect that they would be performing at least a little better than the rest once executed perfectly, but right now it does much worse.

That said, I hate most the theme, it's a little juvenile, think Halloween, not really grotesque etc. despite that I can't help but somehow love the class
