Necro Class - Just Another Rolling Nerf

So most people are going to go out and buy the next dlc for the class basically. Bait.

30 days it will be nerfed. Switch.

Pattern and practice here. Wait till zos offers for discount. You will pay less and maybe avoid such early nerf.

Its just a sucker-play at this point.
They are going to take all the fun right out the class like they do every time.

    Bait-and-switch is price manipulation to increase traffic over something not actually being offered.

    Post-release adjustments are typical of any popular online game. Unpopular but necessary.

    Obviously it's not necessary if it's already in a perfectly balanced and healthy state. But what are the odds of that?
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    For dummy smacking magicka Necro feels kinda underwhelming. And also not very fluid. Flaming skull is weaker than Ele weapon even with it's passive. Not sure if bug, or just I can have just one corpse at a time, but Blastbones sometimes dont leave the corpse for Mystic Siphon to work. Ultigen is tied to self heal that consume corpses - getting another flesh atro is very slow. But the sustain is amazing. Breton is not needed at all, probably should go with Khajiit or Altmer. Probably the cat, due to crit-execute.

    Tbh, this class might have crap DPS like Warden. Give it time.
    It has good access to debuffs, but mostly beneficial for other players, including the DPS ultimate.

    Minor Vulnerability via Shock Damage / Synergy, Major Vulnerability, Major Breech, Major Fracture, Frost Damage / Minor Maim, Heal Absorption, Minor Protection, Empower (for allies and pets), AoE resurrection, purges, and resistance buff based on % healed.

    The class lacks major sorcery, major prophecy, or really any raw stat boosting passives or self buffs for damage. You'll have to rely on external sources, outside of the class.
    Mages guild, pots, Psijic...

    I just see them as a better healer than dps, but when parses start coming out, the numbers will speak for themselves, if they make it to live. ;)

    As mentioned elsewhere:
    I'm sure the devs will make certain that the Necromancer class has no worthless/bad skills, skill morphs, and passives.

    ...the devs... will make... certain...

    ...no... worthless... or... bad...

    :p;):lol:

    ...and because developers are also only human, it WILL become neccessary to rebalance thijngs once they let a great host of players at it, see it perform in the wilds of cyrodil, and notice where things didn't quite work out as intended...

    Magcro is OP. Far from underwhelming. The rotation is nice, the damage is crazy. If you pair it with Breton, almost infinite sustain. Its really good. Sadly I think they will nerf it.

    Your dps is *** because you use all the wrong skills.

    Everyone watch out, we have ourselves a Necromancer Master already.

    Tho, many have done 80k+ necro parses already...

    Yea. Sometimes your skills hit super high. Next time they don't. Sometimes you do 80k, then you do it again, same rotation, same gear everything and have 120k.
    So yea. New dummy does not seem to work properly.

    160k blastbones is buggy. Also, all minions do 100 crit. Which is a bug too we think. Example blastbones, skel wizard.

    Each time you start new parse it amplifies Light Attack damage, Elemental Blockade damage and Blastbones damage. It's those three damage sources that get inflated. If you relog then everything gets reset and first parse will be unaffected. Then it starts to amplify again with each consecutive parse ;) You technically could get as high damage as you want given you've spent enough time parsing in the same instance!

    I think allot of ppl wanted this class since the game was announced so it wont matter
    It also has the best class identity of all the classes i wish my warden could have a fully bar of stamina dps warden skills
    instead of having to use weapon/guild/pvp skills that every one gets

    You can do a fresh test on a stam necromancer and hit 100k+.

    The only thing bugged, as far as I know, in those tests is the pet crit rate. It's probably still ~90k even with proper pet crit.

    Wut.

    The stam necromancer bar setups don't look much different from a stamden. The two classes are really similar in a lot of ways, even down to the basic concept of the DPS rotation and the organization of the skill lines.

    PvE stamden bars:

    Bird, Rending Slashes, Shalks, Netch, Bird of Prey. Bear.

    Hail, Caltrops, Poison Inject, Trap, Bird of Prey. Bear.

    PvE stam necromancer bars:

    Skull, Rending Slashes, Blastbones, Rearming Trap, Detonating Syphon. Dawnbreaker.

    Hail, Caltrops, Poison Inject, Skeletal Archer, Detonating Syphon. Colossus.

    Or something like that.

    Not much of a difference.

    Last i looked 99% of the skill you just listed are not warden skills and not in any of the class tress /fail

    2 skills is what a warden has for dps 3 if you count bear - no i dont count regen/buff skill and it still would not make even 1 full bar even if i did
