Necromancer Roles?

Ohhgrizyyy

So if its true and we get the Necromancer class what role will everyone be hyped to try on it? I personally have never tried a tank as I've mostly been a PvP'er but I've had the urge to level and try a Templar tank recently. Might just have to hold out and make a Necro tank!

Everything in this game is a "magicka DPS". Once you get past that, then you can start to look at the secondary roles and uses.

Magicka DPS

Not very imaginative but I would want to play it as Magicka DPS.

I might change this to a tank if they make it a class heavily reliant on weaving, as that's my main reason for wanting to move away from my Nightblade.

I mean all dps are reliant on weaving. If you're not weaving light attacks between abilities you're not maximizing dps..

Stamina DPS

Bowmancer!

If stamina sucks I'll give healer a try.

Except warden. That class was literally designed to do everything but magicka DPS.

Healer

Probably Healer first but I will try all until i say hey i like this playstyle.

Everstorm

Have to see what the skilllines are first.

Gythral

surely the roles are:
Killed on sight
Killed on hearing
Killed because it can

Tank

I vote Tank but there is no class is ESO that is limitated to do only one thing. Every class can do everything, build Magicka or stamina, and be dps, tank or heal.

Wardens for example have a tree to heal for example, that's why is better for them to be healers maybe, but they can be many things as well. For example sorcerer's can also be healers.

But in my opinion if warden's got green balance than necro will get something similar but for tanking or maybe they will get something in the direction to Nighblades.

What is surprising me is that ZOS will add a new class to a dlc... i was expecting a new expasion where you have to pay for it.

I only play tanks, so Necro-tank is literally a dream come true.

I think it is supposed to be a new chapter isnt it? I kinda expect necro's to be similar to nightblades as well when it comes to healing tbh

I'm not excited for Necro.

All the grinding to get it ready for content... eh, no.

I would try it as DPS if it wasn't so annoying to level.

Get a buddy who isnt excited for it. Get some training gear and xp scrolls and head to skyreach. Could hit 50 in 1 long day or in 2 maybe 3 shorter days. Most skill lines should be max by the time you get to 50 while mages and skyshards are easy as hell on PC (horrible on console) and well cant say anything for psyjic order since I havent done it and undaunted will take a little time

Why the **** would you play a necromancer, a *** NECROMANCER as anything but a magicka character?

Just the option of making a stamina necromancer (which, realistically speaking, should be reserved for rogue/warrior characters only) boggles my mind.

Completely unrealistic.

Why would you play a stamsorc? Lol sorcerers are magic.

The game doesn't work with that mindset.

Simple......Deathknights.
A heavy dark armor wearing, death dealing, life draining, soul stealing, undead summoning, machine of destruction sounds awesome to me.

Don't get me wrong, I'll play a mag one as well, but a heavy armor tank necromancer is definitely going to be my 2nd one. Just created a vampire nightblade tank a few weeks ago to scratch my deathknight itch. But now I'll scrap him and farm gear for the necromancer.

Healer

I want to play as a Necro Healer. So that way when people die in my group, I can say that I am RPing and just raising you from the dead is my thing, "so it's cool".

Sanctuary_Reaper

Magicka DPS

necromancer performs conjuration, which is a form of magic, so magdps fits.

True, but Nightblade is much more reliant on it than others as it's also their sustain and trigger for one of the DD abilities.
Screw up a rotation or be bad at weaving with other classes there is some time to recover or average out your DPS, do that with a Nightblade and you might as well go home.

Healer

Does "letting your teammates die and raising them as mindless zombies" count as healing? Since you are giving them life back, sort of.
If yes, then yes that's the role

Warden and Dragonknight disagree.

RedTalon

Getting pointed at and accused of being a worm cultist

Would say reachbhmen but that isn't a playable sub race yet

Sorry was no other option

Solariken

I'm not excited for Necro.

Not really excited about leveling a 12th and 13th character on another lame half-baked class. I'd rather have more toys for my main toons.

The whole game is DPS.its the most unimaginative combat dynamic I've ever experienced in a mmo.but I do suspect the will have some healing skill

idk

With how much we know about the class, nothing, I would not know how I want to play it.

All of the classes, every single one of them, are magicka first, stamina second. By design. It is the baseline going back to the original class concepts prior to launch. They have shown no interest in making a class that is stamina first, and necromancy is not going to be changing that.

The best this game will ever have is stamina morphs that build on the magicka base, with the associated carrot to get people to use them. If you feel the stamina carrot overshadows the magicka base, that is fine, but you only feel that way because you want the carrot.
