More Necromancer skills should be strengthened by dead bodies
Saelent
✭✭✭✭✭
The TLDR is the title.
Personally as a Necromancer player I feel like I should be driven away from the corpses by other players in pvp.
The reason for that, I mean from an ‘in world’ perspective, who would actually by mad enough to face a Necromancer in a graveyard?
Shouldn’t a Necromancer get more dangerous as the corpses mount up? I’m not saying all the skills can use ALL of the available bodies, that would get over powered, but if I raise a blastbones next to a fresh corpse I think it should have a bit nastier blast.
So each skill being able to use at least one corpse to get more powerful.
What do you guys think?

I like idea of temporal resurrection prevention or increased delay by some kind of grave curse as opposite to templar faster resurrection in PvP.
Also that's would be interesting if necromancer have some skill synergy similar to Trapping Webs on Boneyard thats would summon few melee skeleton warriors, something like used by Elden Hollow I final boss Canonreeve Oraneth, Summon Darkfern Skeleton when she creates pit with skeleton hands working as root and then several skeletons summoned out of that pit.

✭✭Been recently thinking, that certain abilities should benefit directly from corpses.
Like Blastbones, use up to three corpses to summon up three of them.
Archer / mage / mender, use corpses to extend the duration of them (or summon up to three with half duration of the original).
As well like graveyard, placing it on top of three or more corpses, causes skeleton hands to graps and claw at those in it.
When using Tethers, it should auto focus on nearest corpse instead.
And colossal when used should have any remaining corpse with in 10m explode dealing an extra 6% in frost/disease damage.
Just my opinion though lol.Edited by StormeReigns on February 10, 2020 3:34PM -

I like those, especially the increase of duration per corpse.
3 blastbones at once would get too many people complaining, but I would love if I could summon a blastbones without a target, maybe by using a corpse?
Or maybe an area of effect blast from landing a flaming skull when a corpse is available to use?
Love the idea of a colossus making corpses explode... -

✭I like it in general, but then I really don't want to see 8 stam necros in a Vet Trial run again like it was after the character line came out. With so many necros and so many dead bodies on the ground, they'd just amplify each other. Unless your power is only amplified by the corpses that you make. -

I’d say if it’s a corpse from a minion then a Necromancer should only be able to use their own. But for the corpses of trash? That should be for anyone’s use.
If the game engine allows it then I’d say that only one Necromancer should be able to use each corpse. -
Dagoth_Rac✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I think this becomes hard to balance. You could easily find yourself in a situation where Necro is garbage in certain dungeons/Trials but insanely powerful in other dungeons/Trials. Or you want a Necro for trash pulls and nothing else. I think that is why so many Necro abilities create corpses. It is to keep class power and balance mostly self-reliant rather than on the varying specifics of different boss fights. -

still waiting for Necros to be able to summon undead from corpses. Also for a tanking summon. I really love @StormeReigns's suggestion though. Especially being able to have multiple mages up and stuff.
Would really like to see a tanking summon added to the bone tyrant skill line though. Either a zombie, skeletal warrior, or a big-thick skeletal warrior with heavy armor and a dual wielded weapon. -
Nerouyn✭✭✭✭✭
✭IMO I think they've got this aspect right already.
The necro-noodles use them.
Graveyard gets a boost from it.
Their aoe heal uses them.
Or you can just suck them all up as ultimate juice.
Necro's aren't gimped if they're without corpses at any given moment. Apart from the noodles all of those abilities have some other functionality even without corpses. But corpses provide a meaningful boost.
And there's a lot of variety in how you can use them. Which means a lot of variety in gameplay - something other classes lack (especially warden).
I'm not into necromancers thematically, but this aspect alone is one of the really big incentives to main one. -

Kind of can with the right morph of the resurrection ultimate. Raises a number of blastbones with the number of bodies you use it on, maximum 3. -

Unfortunate that they're blastbones. For the ultimate cost, 3 blastbones is extreme garbage lol. NOW if it completely changed the skill to where instead of resurrecting players it summoned 2 skeletal warriors and 1 skeletal juggernaut for 30 seconds (think bigger skeleton with heavy armor and a 2 handed weapon where the skeletal warriors would be normal skeletons with sword/shield) I'd have literally 0 issue with it costing 325. I'd also not be advocating for more summons. -
StormeReigns✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Also. I am a firm believer, that necros should have rapid rot passive reworked to every 1 to 2 seconds in battle summon shambling zombie that lumbers forward to your target decays leaving behind a 8 x 6m trail of disease for 3 seconds on the ground dealing 2% of targets max health as damage.
Edit for clarity:
Rapid Rot (passive)
When in combat, every 2seconds (1 sec when capped at 2/2), a shambling zombie will crawl put of the ground to your aid and lumber forth towards your target. Leaving behind bile and disease in its trail. The zombies last 2 seconds before completely rotting away. All foes caught in the 6x8m path take 2% disease/frost damage of their max health for 3 seconds while in the desecrated area.
Zombies leave no corpse behind. Nor counted as Criminal act due to no evidence left behind.Edited by StormeReigns on February 10, 2020 9:36PM -

No idea. Not sure why that would be an issue though. Doesn’t have to be a lot of Skeletons that can be raised.
If there are performance issues then maybe it has to do with if multiple Necromancers did this? In that case either reduce how many skeletons you can raise or only allow one Necromancer to raise Skeleton Warriors from a body. There’s always workarounds lol. Better than not doing it at all. -

IF NECROMANCERS had this ultimate I would have absolutely 0 complaints with the class and I would play it religiously.
Seriously, have no idea why something like this wasn't considered. This is by far the best idea I've seen for Necromancers yet. The balance part of it could be from letting only 1 necro use corpses. Like, corpses can't be used by multiple necrosEdited by Noxavian on February 10, 2020 10:50PM -

New Effect: Consumes a nearby Corpse to increase Blastbones Damage by 50%. that would definitely remedy the problem where the blastbones would “reliably” leap to the target and blow up before enough time has elapsed to get the maximum possible damage bonus.
You are aware that animate Blastbones is dependent on your “Blastbones” skill in the grave lord skill line, for example, if you have the blighted Blastbones morph, they will be reanimated through animate Blastbones, same with the stalking Blastbones morph.Would be better if Animate Blastbones (morph of the Reanimate ult) would instead raise a skeleton warrior from each dead body to fight for you.

But on the one hand though, the raise undead army thing could be seen as a potential effect for a Mythical item in the Greymoor chapter.
Mythic item:The Crown of Bones (Any weight.)- 1: Casting an Ultimate ability Reanimates one skeleton per 166 ultimate consumed to fight by your side for 22 seconds, The Skeleton(s) take 2 seconds to reanimate and deal [x] Physical damage or [x] Magic Damage to the nearest enemy every 1 second, the damage dealt is based on your highest offensive stats.

- 1: Adds an additional 4 seconds to your Skeletal Mage and Spirit Mender. Increases damage and healing done with your Necromancer abilities by 10%.

If you have questions or concerns about an in-game disciplinary action, please contact https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/ to ask about a suspension or ban, and any other support-related feedback. We cannot assist with in-game violations on the forums.
- Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.
- Goodbye/Quitting Threads: We understand that sometimes people will leave the ESO community, and want to post a “goodbye” or “quitting” thread. Generally, we have found that “goodbye” and “quitting” threads have a tendency to go downhill fast. It is our policy to read the feedback in “goodbye” and “quitting” threads and close them, regardless of whether they are constructive or not.
- Hate Speech: We take the use of hate speech very seriously in the official ESO community, and have a zero tolerance policy. Our definition of hate speech is prejudice or hateful comments, slurs, or statements that promote violence or intolerance toward others because of the following:
- Race.
- Creed.
- Color.
- National Origin.
- Gender.
- Age.
- Disability.
- Sexual Orientation.
- Lifestyle.
- Any other personally identifying factors.
- Impersonation: We do not tolerate impersonation of any kind in the official ESO community, and take impersonation attempts very seriously when they do occur. Impersonation includes using a display name, photos, posts, or any other material with the intent to fool people into believing you are a ZeniMax Online Studios employee, another community member, a celebrity, or anyone else you are not.
- Inappropriate Content and Language: Certain topics and subjects are deemed inappropriate and not permitted on the official ESO forums. Things that we consider inappropriate are usually illegal, extremely volatile or violent, obscene, vulgar, or simply inappropriate for an official game forum such as ours. Inappropriate content on the ESO forums includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Extreme violence
- Illegal substances and activities
- Pirated copyright-protected material
- Pornography and other sexually explicit topics
- Real-world religion and politics
- Tasteless, vulgar, or obscene material
- Malicious Links: We do not tolerate the posting of malicious links on our forums, for any reason. This includes links to pornographic material, key-loggers, and browser hijackers, but also includes links to private game server sites, phishing scams, and sites that sell in-game currencies and power-leveling services.
We greatly appreciate when our community members wish to report a harmful or misleading ESO-related site to us, but please do not do so on the official ESO forums. If you discover a site you want to report to us, please report them at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/. - Names in Thread Titles: Please refrain from placing the names of ZeniMax Online Studios employees or ESO community members in your thread titles. Directing a thread at a specific individual, or otherwise using a thread to call someone out, is not considered constructive. If you need to get a hold of a specific community member, please send them a private message.
- Naming-and-Shaming: We do not allow posts or threads that are created for the purpose of “naming-and-shaming” other community member(s). “Naming-and-shaming” is the act of creating a post to call out an individual or group by name, and making them the subject of public accusation, ridicule and/or shaming. Generally, naming-and-shaming involves an in-game situation and/or Terms of Service violation, which the ESO Community Team is unable to assist with. A certain amount of rivalry and competitive razzing is healthy for any game community, especially one with PVP elements, but naming-and-shaming goes well beyond that. It typically elevates to a point where the subject feels legitimately harassed. We believe that naming-and-shaming posts and threads can be abused and are very harmful to the community. We also don't feel that publicly calling out or accusing others by name on our forums is in spirit of the game or our community. If you genuinely believe someone has violated our Terms of Service, you should report them in-game via the support interface — do not bring the situation onto the official ESO community forums.
- Personal Information: For the sake of your own identity protection and personal privacy, we ask that you please do not share any personal information in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. This also goes for sharing another community member’s personal information — doing so is not only considered malicious behavior, but it is a violation of our Terms of Service and something we take very seriously.
- Petitions and Protests: We do not allow petitions or protests on our forums. Due to the fact that both promote the use of demands and replies that consist of “/signed” or little else, we feel that neither encourage nor allow for meaningful and constructive discussion. Instead of using a petition or protest, we recommend presenting your thoughts as a request or suggestion so everyone in the community can discuss it.
- Role-Play/Fan Fiction God Modding: We support the fan fiction and role-playing communities on the ESO forum, and ask that you please respect your fellow writers and role-players by not “god modding.” God modding is the act of forcing another community member’s character into a situation they have not agreed to. If you wish to involve another person's character in a story or role-play scenario, please respect that individual’s wishes and get their permission first. Failure to do so is considered “god modding,” and is not allowed on the ESO forums.
- Rude and Insulting Comments/Commentary: We understand that sometimes tempers rise, but it is never acceptable to resort to rude comments and insults. This goes for rude comments and insults directed at other community members, and ZeniMax Online Studios employees alike.
- Selling, Trading, and Sharing Game Accounts: The act of selling, trading, or sharing your ESO account is a violation of our Terms of Service. As such, we also do not allow discussion about selling, trading, or sharing game accounts on our forums.
- Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
- Posting the same message more than once.
- Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content.
- Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation.
- Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team.
- Thread Bumping: Please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!”
- Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

That Wouldn’t be a bad solution to the “Stalking Blastbones” morph.The TLDR is the title.
Personally as a Necromancer player I feel like I should be driven away from the corpses by other players in pvp.
The reason for that, I mean from an ‘in world’ perspective, who would actually by mad enough to face a Necromancer in a graveyard?
Shouldn’t a Necromancer get more dangerous as the corpses mount up? I’m not saying all the skills can use ALL of the available bodies, that would get over powered, but if I raise a blastbones next to a fresh corpse I think it should have a bit nastier blast.
So each skill being able to use at least one corpse to get more powerful.
What do you guys think?
New Effect: Consumes a nearby Corpse to increase Blastbones Damage by 50%. that would definitely remedy the problem where the blastbones would “reliably” leap to the target and blow up before enough time has elapsed to get the maximum possible damage bonus.
You are aware that animate Blastbones is dependent on your “Blastbones” skill in the grave lord skill line, for example, if you have the blighted Blastbones morph, they will be reanimated through animate Blastbones, same with the stalking Blastbones morph.Would be better if Animate Blastbones (morph of the Reanimate ult) would instead raise a skeleton warrior from each dead body to fight for you.
ReanimateCast Time: Instant
Target: Ground
Range: 28 meters
Radius: 12 meters
Cost: 335 Ultimate
Bring your allies back from the brink of death, resurrecting up to 3 allies at the target location.
Renewing AnimationCast Time: Instant
Target: Ground
Range: 28 meters
Radius: 12 meters
Cost: 335 Ultimate
Bring your allies back from the brink of death, resurrecting up to 3 allies at the target location. You restore 5300 Magicka and Stamina for each ally you attempt to resurrect.
New Effect: You restore Magicka and Stamina for each ally you attempt to resurrect.
Raise Undead ArmyCast Time: Instant
Target: Ground
Range: 28 meters
Radius: 12 meters
Duration: 20 seconds
Cost: 200 Ultimate
Raise the dead around you, reanimating up to 12 Skeletal Warriors at the target location. Skeletal Warriors wield the weapons of their former bodies, and deal X Damage based on their weapon choice on striking enemies.
The undead last for 20 seconds or until killed.
New Effect: Reduces the cost. Instead raises the dead to be your thralls, rather than resurrecting fallen allies.
Was kind of a letdown that our Necromancers could only summon a handful of undead allies but not actually raise the dead.
But on the one hand though, the raise undead army thing could be seen as a potential effect for a Mythical item in the Greymoor chapter.
Mythic item:The Crown of Bones (Any weight.)- 1: Casting an Ultimate ability Reanimates one skeleton per 166 ultimate consumed to fight by your side for 22 seconds, The Skeleton(s) take 2 seconds to reanimate and deal [x] Physical damage or [x] Magic Damage to the nearest enemy every 1 second, the damage dealt is based on your highest offensive stats. Up to 3 skeletons can be summoned.
- 1: Adds an additional 4 seconds to your Skeletal Mage and Spirit Mender. Increases damage and healing done with your Necromancer abilities by 10%.
If they added a mythic item like that I would be completely fine with how current necro works.
I'd be genuinely surprised if at least 1 of the mythic items don't let us summon some form of undead, considering the theme of the expansion and the fact that necromancer is still the newest class and a ton of people have been wanting more summons for a very long time now. -
Saelent✭✭✭✭✭There’s another thing, if this was done right with only one Necromancer able to use each corpse then there wouldn’t be whole parties of Necros again. The reason being because otherwise too many skills wouldn’t fire properly (corpse would have been used already) and DPS would drop.

Bradyfjord✭✭✭✭If they increase the benefits of corpses, they may end up having to nerf the baseline performance of these abilities. Just saying, with ZOS, it's worth being careful what you ask for in regards to buffs/nerfs. -

Except many skills already give an extra bit of damage for different circumstances other than corpses. Why are they different? They should use corpses instead.
Like someone else said, blastbones using a corpse instead on distance for the extra 50% would fix many problems. -

✭Necromancer is the only class that totally underwhelmed me. Pretty much all the skills (leaving aside the ulti's) feel underpowered and I don't enjoy how tactically you have play this one to get any kind of performance from it (working out where there are skellies, using a rotation to create skellies, skills that heal or damage between you and a skellie so you have get you position right on the battlefield.....).
And the "pet" durations seems uber quick to me, having to be recast every seventh nanosecond. Why is that? My sorc pets stick around until killed..... heck, in a dungeon or trial they just stick around!
Nice idea, but not super well executed. I have yet to find anyone who genuinely enjoys playing Necro. Shame really.All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost...... some of us are just looking for trouble.GM of Burnish & Gleam Trading | GM of Dark Star Rising | Broker of Equalisers | Former GM of Lone Star & Merchants of Magnus I & II | Trader -

How do you think it could be changed to make it something you’d want to play then?
You don’t want the corpse reliance at all then?
