Necromancer Skills & Passives - Elsweyr Chapter Information

Dottzgaming

Hey guys! With the lift of the NDA we can now talk about what was seen from our trip to ZoS HQ. While there, my biggest focus was looking at the necro class and making sure i wrote down all the skills and passives. You can find them all listed here: https://dottzgaming.com/blog/necromancer-skills-passives-elsweyr/

Enjoy!

First; thank you for the great write up!

Second; Any word on changes (racial/class) outside of the new class? New skill lines perhaps?

Np man glad you enjoyed it!

No racial changes - from what i saw all the wrathstone changes were still present. no further tuning.
No new skill line since we got Necro.
Class changes there were a bunch. Since it's a chapter release, you can expect classes and weapons to be buffed and nerfed since the patches are usually really big. From what i saw, most changes were a step in the right direction. There were some changes i loved, some changes i have to still consider if i like or not, but there wasnt anything that stood out like this is bad. So things are heading in a great direction imo!

Ressurection ultimate? Healing absorption on a stam spammable? Aoe major vulnerability? More targetable pets? Passive max health? Defiles, maims, dots, aoe fracture and breach?

Man. Elsewyr is gonna be a great patch to pvp as a non necromancer.

Yeah, I'm trying to stay positive about this and not assume the worst, but it looks like Cyrodil is about to get even uglier. I just see a bunch more useless health tanks in there taking up space and bandwidth, and making things worse by spamming graphics-intensive abilities that tax the servers even more. We shall see though...

Awesome! I’m looking forward to this class a lot!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Necro has no mobility or hard cc apart from the passive pull morph and the delayed fear, right? (I consider the immobilize soft cc as you can still defend yourself during that.) That honestly sounds pretty good. They have clear weaknesses and clear strengths. NBs will probably be a very good counter to them and playing them will be lots of fun!

Given how ZOS has been talking about server load and the insane amount of checks running rn, Im looking at some of the skills for this class and thinking that this is going to add to that in an exponential way.

Edit: Im also pissed they just gave necro a better purge and an arguably better repentance. I think stamplars will be joining stam sorcs in the trash bin.

That’s disappointing to hear about the racials. They did a good job for a few of the races and the others seem to be not very well thought out. I am glad your excited, but I can’t share your enthusiasm. I was really hoping that the community complaints would be addressed.

Necros have low mobility, correct.

I didn't play a nightblade at all when I was there. I only played on my necromancer and peeked at mDK. So I can't confirm or deny any potential rumors of changes because I didn't play the class at all while there.

Hey Dottz. Thanks for the info. I have one questions. For the "Undead Confederate" passive does "Bone Armor" and its morphs count as a "summon" ability? Or are summon abilities just when you create a pet or call in a Blastbones?

No problem!
and the summons are the pets/blastbones, not the bone armor
