Flame Skull

✭✭✭
This spammable is one of the worst in the game and one of the least used.
He's one of the least powerful, and the secondary effect that slightly increases damage on third casts isn't enough to make the spammable competitive with others.
Almost all skills of Grave Lord and Bone Tyrant use skeletons or bones, not to mention corpse mechanics. And I can't imagine a new spammable using a tombstone or a ghost.
The only alternative to replace Flame Skull, remaining in the theme of death, remains the scythe which has enough potential to compete with the animation of Lava Whip and Puncturing Strikes. Scythe have only one skill but it's an area skill, with even less damage and the animation to go with it.
Here are some ideas found on the internet :

Of course these are just examples, the scythe animation could be completely different but it will still be better than a copy paste from Stone Giant and Crystal Fragments.
It's up to us to come up with names and effects for this new spammable. The cost of this skill and its damage will be adjusted accordingly.

✭✭✭✭✭Personally, I would take Skull over most class spammables. It's objectively better than Cliff Racer or Swallow Soul (damage, damage type, cleave). It's mildly clunky to weave, but much much smoother than Crystal Frags, Stone Giant or Jabs/Sweeps. Dark Flare is so weak most don't even think of it as an option for a class spammable. At least Whip is good, but a lot of class spammables need rework.Edited by WrathOfInnos on February 14, 2022 8:27PM1 -
Wellsley✭✭✭Cliff Racer is bad too. The others you mentioned the necromancer can't use but I agree, a lot of class spammable need rework.0

✭I rarely see players using it.
Many Necros are either running full dot builds or force pulse for uptime of EC/Brittle. FP also has the superior cleave. If every cast of flame skulls had the cleave it would be a choice between that and FP, but FP wins hands down now ever since they nerfed the death knell passive.0
