Necromancer feel gimmicky?

Been playing the Necromancer since launch and it feels very gimmicky and not at all practical. The whole having to rely on corpse mechanic seems like one huge flaw that really can't be fixed.

Seems like Necromancer should be king of DoT, but only viable dots are not in the necromancer skill lines. ESO is trying to push for "Class Identity" but it seems like with this class you can't really rely on most of your skills.

I just think it needs a rework from the ground up, but they will never do that. It may just be me.

    I think it just needs some fixes and a couple of their skills need to be evaluated (For example; Blastbones). The Necromancer's kit gives you plenty of ways to generate corpses to keep your damage up.

    I don’t get it.

    My healing necro is just a Templar without shards.

    My stam necro is a fricking mystery to me. I honestly don’t get how to maximize “strategic” corpse play.

    While I made a Necro DD, I play my Necro tank much more often. It feels pretty satisfying and different enough to the typical DK tank to be quite fun. I don't really use the skills that rely on corpses, but even for DD you should be able to build around them if you don't like how they work.

    Its not too bad overall, most of your core skills as a Necro DD (Blast Bones, Skeletal Mage/Archer) will generate all the corpses you need
