    Looked at 10 minutes of the skills video and just noped out. It just sounded disgustingly OP that I just couldn't keep going; my heart couldn't bare it.

    I HAVE to see it in action. It's the only way I can tell myself it's not all that now.

    I had the same feeling. So necromancers will be the best healers, have the best AOE potential, will be able to do delayed burst combo's like Warden, have stamina morphs for pretty much every ability (which admittedly isn't a bad thing, but not something the other classes have) and if there are corpses nearby many of their already really good skills will become even better...
    I mean its too early to judge, but the feeling I got wasn't that of a balanced addition to ESO

    I have a question @Shimmer . Can you use a fallen ally's corpse to cast a spell requiring a corpse and still resurrect them after?

    Going to assume that next patch will consist of a large amount of nerfs to all classes in order to make necro look more appeasing to purchase. Just like in morrowind

    I hope not... I'm so sick of nerfs, it's all we've been getting for the last few patches feels like.

    Awesome news about the campaign alliance lock and the Volendrung Artifact! :)
    One time emperor per account per campaign is a good change too!
    @ZOS_BrianWheeler Thanks for listening to the request of adding a campaign alliance lock B)

    As I understand it works on dead bodies and the corpses you creates.
    Unknown if it work on dead ally's but if so it does not have an effect on res.

    You can not use the corpse another necromancer create.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    It worries me that there’s so far no mention of snare balancing. Should be one of the biggest PvP changes. Maybe it’s still too early...

    People are just reverting to exactly what they said about Wardens pre-Morrowind. Everybody cried that they'd be P2W, but from what I remember, Wardens were actually quite underwhelming at launch aside from people crying about cliff racers. I suspect the same is going to happen with necromancers.
    Beware the battle cattle, but don't *fear* the battle cattle!

    I think... I think I am just gonna quit PvP for month or two when Necromancer will be out... :disappointed:

    Oh and btw. I just realized that there are are no justice NPCs in Cyro... passive "buff" for a necro...

    I watched it all... and now I am regretting it. Necro setup is so OP / broken that my head hurts when I even think of it :weary:
    Even if ZOS nerfs necro "mathematically" by a lot it will still be BiS for DPS role, Tank role and Healer role... and most likely in PvP too.

    "The Necromancer might become the most powerful PVP healer with the upcoming 3 player instant resurrection ultimate! "
    The Necromancer will be great in PVP and may make Templar and other types of healers a bit obsolete.
    Though it is too early to judge this class since it didn't go through the PTS cycle yet.
    In PTS they may nerf it a bit to make it more balanced.
    Maybe instead of 3 players instant resurrection, it will be 1/2 players and with ultimate reduced to 170/180.
    ZOS may also decide that such ultimate has no place in Cyrodiil and remove it entirely.

    That ultimate was insanely powerful, I feel the coat should have been higher.

    At the very least they could raise the ultimate needed to 300/350.
    It is such a strong ultimate that I'm not sure that it has a place in the game.
    1/2 players maybe, but 3 might be too much, both in Cyrodiil and Battlegrounds.

    What they should do is make even allied guards aggro in response to "criminal" necro skills.

    "Alessia Farm is under attack!"

    *goes to investigate*

    *allied Necromancer is taking a beating from allied guards for casting a skill on an enemy player's corpse*
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    The era people considered Nightblades and Wardens as the greatest classes may soon be over.
    The era of the Necromancers(or Necromongers :trollface: ) is about to begin.
