Why are you doubling down on removing the most used ability in Necro's kit?

I am sorry you lost the morph, personally I always play stamina and I would NEVER touch my necro again if they removed my precious Green Skelly, I even have a poison themed outfit for it. @ZOS_Kevin This honestly sucks for the people that like the blue and the way it worked. Honestly, I hope you can add these morphs back through scribing in the future, or maybe finally a third morph. If scribing later doesn't include Class Skills - then it's going to suck.

Yeah I played a high elf. Having to spam another stamina skill that does less damage is a straight nerf for me.

I find this a very frustrating outcome and have decided to cancel my sub and stop buying crowns for me and my family. We’ll move back to WoW and check back next year. The last year of development and now this are just insulting at this point.

Yup, my necro will be my master crafter/mule now I guess. Can't wait to abuse nightblade and sorcerer in pvp soon

Yeah I'm done with necro as well. I've stuck with it for years while it languished at the bottom of the barrel getting 0 updates while nightblade got buffed every single patch, but deleting our only good damage skill in the entire kit is the final straw. There were a million better options suggested but ZOS doesn't care about necro OR about feedback.

I'm looking at nightblade too but it seems nightblade DPS is still F tier and the patch aint changing it

Sacrificial Bones, we can call it SB for short.

I recently came back and mained a necro DPS. We all know how this is going to work out:

Accept, adapt, move on.

Currently getting my Arcanist to max lvl and enjoy that ride while it last.

I garantee in some years beam will be removed.

I like calling it SacBones for short because it should've been sacked before it even hit the PTS.

looks very bad because it uses stam and there will be no mag semi-spammable for necro in pvp, where I always need two spammables for sustain.

Mag skills for necro already costs almost nothing. Taking away the semi-spammable, what do I do with the mag pool? Arterial Burst again like my poor templar? They're forcing me to use the same skills across all characters.

also it has to be fired while in combat, so we can't pre-fire it for a burst combo?

And nobody is going to use the new morph since other skills in the line are just garbage. It's 15% not 50%.

EDIT: unless it's for all damage done, or Major Berserk. Even so it'd still be weaker for combo execution. Point blank blastbone was my execute...

The unstated point of the NB changes is keeping it S Tier for pvp. Look at the changes over the last few patches, it is a pvp wish list.

The unstated point for Necro is removing its ability to compete with just one of NB's playstyles. If you add up the changes over the last few patches, ZOS has systematically removed the Necro bomb in pvp. Major vulnerability nerf, Harmony removed, avid boneyard nerf, now highest damage blastbones morph gets removed.

At least that is the way it appears to me.
