Is it just me or is the Necro a total fail?

Catastrophic37 · June 2019

It's basically another sorc, except even the sorc has a perma summon. How do you call a character that summons nothing for more than what ten seconds a necro? I was so excited for this to come out, but was horribly disappointed. Then a stamina necro tank... Not even gonna go there. And what's with the being able to res and entire group? Talk about literally the most overpowered ability in the game. I feel like the creators lost their minds with this character.

I really feel like people are complaining for the sake of complaining now.

"It's basically another sorc" In what way?

"How do you call a character that summons nothing for more than what ten seconds a necro?" 16 seconds. Anyway, good change. Better than double-slotting. Timed summons fit the theme too.

"Then a stamina necro tank... Not even gonna go there" good. Nice to have a class be so diverse.

" And what's with the being able to res and entire group? Talk about literally the most overpowered ability in the game." ....Have you even played this class? Are you trolling? Most people won't even slot this ult, due to how situational and expensive it is.

" I feel like the creators lost their minds with this character." I feel like you lost your mind when you made this post. You somehow managed to complain about Necro, without complaining about any of its ACTUAL problems.

It's just you. I've levelled 3 necros already and I'm having a blast.

Fixed that for you.

I think it's working well, it's had a much better launch than the Warden did and other than the normal complaints of not being competitive vs other things it seems to be going down well with everyone.

Other than a handful of glitches with abilities, I don't see necro as a failure at all.

Its just you, you and all the others jumping on the bandwagon across these forums...

Users of these forums constitute a tiny proportion of the player base. On top of this - it is the min/max elite players who are generally more likely to use these forums, and therefore make up a large proportion of what is already a tiny part of ESOs players.

Opinions here get polarised and influenced by min/maxers and content providers, people who have opinions and experiences formed from a place that is largely not applicable to the bulk of the player base. Couple this with the prevalence of opinions formed prematurely by people with limited experience or understanding... we get a LOT of unthinking subjective opinions which are misguided or plain wrong.

This is what is taking place at the moment, yet again, and it is drowning out genuine constructive feedback about the Necromincer class.

Necromincer is an exciting and very different class to the others available. Utilising corpses being one of the major new factors. So far it feels like a more complex class to get the most out of and this means many people who lack patience or experience will struggle. Likewise people who like to play a certain way, in keeping with the "meta", will when encountering something that needs a new approach or adaptation, cry foul. And as I eluded to, we get folk who just don't know what they are talking about, that's par for the course.

Just my tuppence worth. I am hugely enjoying an engaging, exciting, different and varied class way way more than I was expecting to. It gets boring hearing so many complaining about nonsense.

Necro is definately not a Fail class but indeed fun to play,

They have easier access to strongest buff in game and pretty much good in PVP

mocap · June 2019

only one thing i totaly dislike in Necro - he can't regen ultimate while badass form is active. Tx to PvP ofcuz (another "separate pvp from pve" lol).

Other than that it's fun and still DK is easier to tank, templar is easier to heal and pet sorc is easier to dps (43k dps with 4 skills + heavy attack rotation and BoE guildstore gear).

It's just you.

xMovingTarget · June 2019

I like the necro. Stam though. Apart from some buggy and annoying mechanics around it. Its great and nothing like a sorc. If you had said warden, sure. A little bit. But Sorc?!?!?

phileunderx2 · June 2019

Just you. Sorry😐

katorga · June 2019

I'm on PC and far enough into it to be halfway done with Undaunted and Psyjik. I enjoy the complexity of the corpse mechanics, and kind of like the immersion of the abilities being crimes, but....

Anything that hovers, floats, or teleports is hit or miss on whether you can damage them with your two biggest damage abilities. At that point with magicka, you got nothing.

Skeletal archer is not worth slotting except for enabling passives. Mender can be LOS and just miss healing ticks. Sometimes it doesn't heal at all.

Tether skills need a larger "corpse detection" box. You have to be exactly, directly facing a corpse to land a tether. The delay of finding a corpse, and getting the icon to light up to cast blows your dps rotation. I can't count the times I have to turn away from the target to find a corpse to tether.

The siphon skills need to do 2-3x the damage/healing to make up for their severe limitations. Dot/hots that do not stick to the target do zero in high mobility fights.

Necro is good stamina dps, but it is the exact same build as every other class. So kinda boring.

Naa, it's just you. I really enjoyed leveling mine ...

mobicera · June 2019

Yeah it's just you.
Made a necro tank when it dropped on console and am absolutely loving it.

Xerikten · June 2019

it's you.
every class has abilities that are crap. this one is no different.

Mesoz · June 2019

Most of the issues are with magcro, a lot of it's abilities won't hit boss's that float or hover just above the ground. Corpse targeting is a clunky mess. Magcro's BB morph is mostly useless since you want to be in melee range anyways with it. Then if you need to be in melee, why not just play or be replaced with another stamcro or another stam class.

Arcanist mage/archer dmg is pitiful, target's w/e it wants, and is only useful on bar for the passive.

Stamcro suffer's a few of the same issues, just not nearly as bad since they do have good weapon lines, and actually pulls very good dps.

Necro tank is good an quite a lot of fun and works pretty damn well.

Necro heals i haven't played to much but i don't believe they are to bad outside of mendor being be los'd pretty damn easily, and that kind of applies to every play style i suppose.

All crap skill should be reworked.

Tasear · June 2019

I love nercomancer tank. I think it will even be my competitive tank in PvP and pve. It's also enaging for random dungeons. I think personally it's best class of tank. 😋

Stamina nerco looks interesting with more grim repear feeling and ...I wonder if they do golitah bash better.

Not a fan of mag nerco. Too many elemental themes make me think Sorc instead of dark mage.

p00tx · June 2019

I'm actually having a blast with it. I guess it's all subjective, yeah?

Blackwing_Soul · June 2019

It's just... oh you guys. Y'all beat me to it.

Tasear · June 2019

Coming back to this. I kinda think it might of been better if it hadn't be called nercomancer for us but at last name exist in lore just as it is.
