By my count, this is the 30th "Necro Needs Help" post since the U38 PTS.

What has ZOS done? They reduced the cost of their ultimate a bit and increased the damage of a spammable that has a myriad of functional issues. They also gave an increase to the duration of an ability that will counterintuitively reduce its own duration if recast anyways. Have fun.

@ZOS_Kevin The state of necromancer is sad, and has been sad for months, yet despite the huge amount of feedback (over 30 posts), nothing has been done, and the team hasn't even indicated that they have any plans to fix the class, nor have they indicated that they understand just how bad the necromancer is right now.

It's silly that they lack required named buffs that every other class has.

It's silly that their main abilities cannot proc sets, despite not actually counting as pets and not being commandable with the pet keybind.

It's silly that both of their class stuns are completely unusable, with one being bugged for well over 6 months now.

It's silly that the tethers are completely useless in any sort of mobile encounter.

Has the feedback been heard? If so, why was nothing substantial done in U39's PTS, despite much more substantial changes occurring to classes that were already in a good spot? Why was nothing substantial done in U38 despite the feedback and pleas for change dating back before that?

We need communication on this. Necromancer is in arguably the worst place a class has been in the history of the game.

whats funny is the skeletal mage/archer were actually nerfed with u35, and they were sub-par before that lol

Even worse - they were nerfed to fit into an arbitrary "DoT Standard" even though they are direct (pet) damage abilities.

Barspace is tight so id rather see the sorcery go on a skill thats mandatory on your current bar layout.
Perhaps the armor buff base morph should get it since there is currently no skill that grants both resolve and sorcery/brutality at the same time, giving necro something unique

I like this one since iirc the mage/archer leave corpses don't they? That way its another corpse generator to allow more corpse procs of other skills.

I will say this though for those expecting a big rework/fix for the class, don't hold your breath for it. Sorcerer was completely dead in PvP for 2 full patches (U35/36) before it got even the smallest buffs and the things it has gotten have only enabled stamsorc to run the OP proc sets (Masters DW/vate ice/maarselok/dragons appetite) that every class already runs (magsorc still struggles a lot now that mara's can't carry it anymore). Warden and NB both took months if not years to get buffs to make them playable/strong same with DK, so I doubt necro will get anything good anytime soon even though I would love to see the class get some good QoL buffs/fixes such as major sorcery/brutality, make skulls speed faster, fix blast bones AI, improve reliability of agony totem, make mage/archer count as both DoTs and pets, etc.

I think a fantastic buff would be to make Necromancer skills more powerful based on the amount of "Death" in the vicinity, sort of like a crux system but with corpses.

For every corpse within 10 meters of the Necromancer certain Necromancy skills will become 10% more powerful up to a maximum of 30%

Huge bomb on the back flag and suddenly all necros in the vicinity enter godmode 😂

Oh no, skulls will now hit for 901 instead of 900 damage and the blastbones might actually look at me now instead of running off drunk
