Paaaatch Time, Will Necromancer Be Fixed?

Elusiin

What do you guys think will come from this patch? Fingers crossed Blastbones and despawning corpses is fixed...

EDIT: Love seeing the poll results, the cynicism is real.

Oh lord, a nerf to what? Magicka Necromancer is the lowest DPS in the game atm. Stamina though, damn... Maybe we can get that mythical thing called balance (buff mag necro, nerf stam necro)? xD

Or we could all hope for the ultimate balance. Why not have both be on par with each other?

LMAO I forgot about that ad... It would be nice if numbers were adjusted to do that, but I don't expect it. I'd just be happy with a fix to blastbones and the despawning of corpses.

I haven't played the class yet (console peasant) But I'm still going to rock a magcro regardless of issues. I'm just hoping for some decent self heals (HOTs) for harder content

No

I seriously doubt they have had time to study all the feedback, adjust abilities and pathing/locations or skills, test them and evaluate the new build for today's patch. I'd expect it to take a month or so, that's if they even accept that other than blastbones there are big problems with magcro. Stamcro is better but still has issues with some of the skills.

Ahhh you're probably right. I wanna hope for the best though. I just want my Blastbones to work...

I don't care tbh. ZOS made sure of it by destroing eveything I cherished about pve & pvp. All I have left is questing, crafting and housing...

Criminal Act has become a popular addition, it gets added to more Necromancer skills that consume corpses and other classes get in on the fun too! Sorcerer's Daedric Summoning of Familiar, Clannfear, Twilight, and even your Stormy are now Criminal Acts. Nightblade's Shadow Cloak and Shadow Image spells are now Criminal Acts, and so is your entire Assassination Tree because killing is wrong! Templar's Repentance is now a Criminal Act because you are stealing life energy from the dead, shame on you!

They actually seem pretty close:

I've seen the opposite statistics. What was the setup for these tests?

Lol

My other stam characters are on par with or out perform my stam necro. No need to nerf that.

I hear boneblast doesn't work nicely for either stam or mag. I also hear mag necro is weak. So a fix for boneblast and a buff for mag necro would be all I'd like to see with any patch. If Stam necro is nerfed I'd just have to make him a tank, which my DK tank is better.

Fix Volendrung.

To be fair: they had a month and a half of Necromancer PTS feedback and only did one corrective cycle. So they’re had plenty of time—almost 2 months now—to analyze and correct the class.

Even sadder is that console will almost assuredly be a month or more behind any kind of balance pass.

No

You kidding me? It took them 2 years to slightly buff and fix Mag Warden.

If anything comes towards Necro, it's nerfs like:

Blastbones:

Blastbones and it's morphs have had their damage reduced by 70% and the skeleton now waits 45 minutes before chasing it's target. This was done to bring the skill in line with other useless skills for RP reasons (it will result in overall increase of the DPS by 47% because we say so and also 'reasons').

Hexproof:

We reduced the amount of negative effects removed to 1 and increased the cost to 34500 health as the skill was over performing. It will result in overall LoL

Intensive healer:

After much feedback, the intensive healer morph will now last 0.5 seconds and has had it's healing reduced by 150% (it will now damage you)

Crown Store:

We introduced additional server hardware to improve performance of the Crown Store. Additional hamsters have also been hired and are currently undergoing intensive training.

Put the filters exactly the same as the stats had in the other topic, only these are from today.

The only problems i've had with necro are casting. Sometimes you can't seem to target things properly and you end up just light attacking repeatedly because skills won't go off.

Obviously new around here!

No

Patch notes are out. Quest and achievement fixes.... priorities.

Mathius_Mordred

No

Called it. Expect another month before major changes to this class, 2 more weeks minimum .

Coatmagic

Lol

How about will all the questing in group bugs bug be fixed xP
