I would want it, but it goes completely against the lore of the game, as well as the fact that most of the people you are trying to stop in game are necromancers...so right there kinda kills the chance of it being put in game.

Now...if you were to say a Conjurer, well then that fits right in and has been in past games...infact sorcs already have a kind of semi-lore breakingish daedric pet summon.

So instead of making polls begging for things that will never happen, like this and flying dragon mounts....

Why not make an effort to see a return of existing TES classes instead? Would be far more productive.

Although I did say yes, but Sorcerer comes pretty close to Necromancers. They summon minions, and "siphon" health through critical surge. What I'd like to see, is something totally new, like a monk, or dragonborn.

I guess necromancers would be cool, but sorcerers can already summon a few daedric beasts so necromancers could maybe summon a few undead beasts to give a hand in combat

I would love to have a necromancer class into the game,however i dont think that Zenimax has any immediate plans to add new classes.I really hope that they will add some short of undead summon with the upcoming spell crafting system so we can at least have a taste of the necromancer class.

Necromancy skill line for all!!

I'm gonna have to say no for right now. I'm not opposed to it really, I just think there are a lot of bug and balance issues with the classes we already have that need to be addressed before we can really consider adding anything new.

My reason to vote NO is not that I won't fancy playing a necromancer. However looking at the setting a necromancer should automatically be outlawed the moment any guard notices you using a necromantic ability. Although this could be quite nice with the Justice system in mind, I fear allowing player necromancer totally breaks immersion.

Well, this goes for vampires as well, doesnt it? Yet theyre in game so...

Anyway, Im all for variety but how about they fix and balance whats already there first?

[quote="UrQuan;1211973Well, you'd think so, and yet it seems like all 3 factions make use of necromancers when they're sending forces to invade and otherwise make a nuisance of themselves in another faction's territory. It seems like every time I do a quest where it's "The Daggerfall Alliance/Ebonheart Pact/Aldmeri Dominion has sent a force that you need to stop" there's some sort of necromantic aspect to what I'm fighting.

True, very true! Perhaps my interpretation is heavily clouded by Oblivion and Skyrim. In ESO it seems indeed that all factions use necromantic magic against one another. If in this Elder Scrolls setting necromancy is more or less accepted I stand corrected.

This is true yet not entirely correct. Each faction has been infiltrated by people serving daedric interests, and you often find those people at the tip of the spear in enemy territories, fomenting warfare. I just did another one of these missions a couple days ago in the ebonheart pact, where Aldmeri dissenters were killed by their own leader. This is all part of Molag Bal's evil plan, not Ayrenn, Emeric or Jorunn. The point of these bad individuals is to keep chaos going, and a lot of finger-pointing between the leaders in order to ensure warfare never ends.

Nah , while im not against them adding necro skills , i would rather have new skill trees , instead of a new class.

Just add a quest chain and so on that allows every player to get said skills.

With this said , probably necro skills will just be part of the spellcrafting.

I'm against any new classes, and for new skill lines. Spell crafting should help a lot with all the "Caster" class requests.

To address all of this talk about necromancers being "lore breaking", who says they have to be the good guys?

While one can suspect that all the nefarious deeds of the enemy factions are executed by Molag Bal infiltrators, I think there is little evidence to support such a claim.
For example: in the Ebonheart Pact, starter area you get to aid summon an undead creature to stop an Aldemeri invasion. The story of this action continues for other quests in the same area.
Later in the very same area (if my memory serves me right) you get to choose to either enslave an army of wraiths or set them free. Both of these actions were performed under the authority of the Ebonheart Pact, while at the same time - pending on your choice of action - they do feel evil.

While I can sympathise that the actual leaders of the factions are not themselves giving orders to use nefarious magics to achieve their goals, I can imagine their underlings to go 'the extra mile' to succeed in their assigned tasks. It is war after all.

There is already an evil caster class, i.e. Sorcerer, why would they make another one?

I'd suggest more something like a nature type class, with builds such as Ranger (stamina) and Druid (magicka). That fits into the lore as well and isn't almost identical to something we already have. Of course I might be a little too heavily influenced by D&D. It's probably best they first focus on spellcrafting and another stamina world skill tree.
