I would rather have a necromancer class

Specializing in Forum Thread Necromancy, perhaps?

Like a few others I think a Lich class/skill line would be over the top. Lore wise it seems a rare occurrence that's difficult to obtain. Not to mention it would be like painting a target on your back anytime you walk into a populated area. Sure you might be able to disguise the rotting flesh with a few illusions & some make-up but the smell? No hiding that!

Having a Necromancer skill line (or even class) seems more obtainable, likely lore wise, and far less obvious. Anyone could be a Necromancer your neighbor, your spouse, that nice old lady down the street that brings you sweet rolls on holidays. Questing given the premise can make playing a less than reputable character a little more tricky (which is why I wish the game offered 3 different response types to choose from - not every one is a hero.) but could be done. People have ulterior motives all the time. A skill line might be better than an actual class given the current Sorcerer skills. Maybe something with blood magic?

Necros are rampant as enemies but it give a good idea of the kinds of skills to expect.

Also current Necro summons could be kinda fun? The whole cheap/expendable pet spam rather than standard dps.
