Fix necromancer animations

Alidel

Part of what makes playing necro feel so clumsy - is that most of abilities animation make your character disappear weapon from hands, cast ability, and then magically reappear back. Most notably it feels bad with the skull that supposed to be spammable ability. Doesn't feel right at all, and if you're melee stamina it's even worse. Why not hold your weapon in a right hand and animate skills casted with the left one? You know, like most of the other skills in game.

This honestly makes necromancer unplayable for me.

I think skull is an overlap between the first 2 casts and the third, as the animation for the third uses both hands. I think the problem with a lot of other animations is because they use both hands it may be difficult (not saying it doesn’t feel clunky, just trying to get to the bottom of why it works that way)

It bugs me that my weapons disappear during things like using my armour buff though, as that animation isn’t new and works on other classes just fine eg dk’s Armour buff.

Necromancer needs a lot more then just animation tweaks granted not to say they don't need those also but the class released from elsweyr riddled with bugs and has been nerfed every patch after that.

Granted this is all really old news and I doubt anyone is surprised at this point but everytime a new PTS comes and I look to see whats happening with necro and all I see is reduction in damage and increase in skill costs with no other buffs or compensation to make up for it just makes me roll my eyes.

That being said @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler or any other dev that knows What is happening with the necromancer class why is it being nerfed repeatedly while the bugs it released with from elsweyr are still plaguing it while no compensation for the nerfs are being given just nerfs.

Everytime we see a PTS with necromancer listed and no buffs for it are being listed just nerfs to its aoes its ults then you nerf the weapon skill lines it can use you guys seriously making it look like you don't want anyone to play this class at all

I actually like the animation: Right hand, left hand, both hands. Plus if you get a burning proc on an enemy, it is actually a blue necromancer flame instead of the regular one. But usually with so many effects going on, I wonder if people actually notice this?

Because it still brings the most OP buff in the game from a PVE perspective, and still tops damage in most cases, at least for Stam.
