"yeah because making shields not stack and being able to crit is not gonna cause sorcs going completely defensive and spamming shields just to stay alive."

Nah I read your grotesque post with numerous grammatical errors that you didn't even bother to reread. What I got from your poorly written post was that you don't like shields.

Yeah Necromancy is actually legal in the Empire despite what Arch-mage Hannibal Traven made you believe, he only hated Necromancy for personal reasons but used his position as arch-mage to make it seem like it was bad but it was by no means Illegal, The Natives of Morrowind despite hatred of Necromantic Practice upon their ancestors bodies utilize Necromancy to defend their tombs, What do you think a Bone Lord is? Its one of the most terrifying looking undead their is, it is skeletal, it floats, has an elevated skull and has 4 arms.

The most evil thing you can do in ES is intentionally become a Vampire because with vampires your not only giving the middle finger to the Aedra but your also accepting the fact that you will now oppress mortals and prey on their lifeblood, at least with Necromancy the dead don't feel a thing, Hell lycanthropy may be considered even more evil then vampirism on account of the immortality being a reason one would become a vampire, what reason would someone have to become a werewolf though if not to kill? they are not immortal so it doesn't grant you anything else other then the powers to kill and hunt innocent people.

I would love the option to be "evil" by way of a Necromancer or something like EQ's Shadow Knight. Those were my two favorite classes for years and I still have fond memories.

Lore can be adjusted. Off the top of my head:

Molag Bal has let loose a legion of invisible demons that can infect men and give them access to dark powers.

Bam.

Can I play as an Exorcist class to go around ridding people of these demons??

Tharn did say we'll make a necromancer out of you yet when you made that flesh atro lol

Good , no new classes. The game already has 4 classes , there is no need for more.

If new skill lines are added to the game , make them general access , like mages and fighters guilds.

Necromancy has one place and that is the forum.

Well there we have our official answer...time to move folks! nothing to see here!

I think DaryaK was saying "No" to necro-ing old posts in the forum. Not saying "No" to a necromancer class.

Hello, I would love a Necromancer as, there is nothing i love playing more in a Fantasy RPG then the roll of a summoner and if they made a Necromancer I'm sure that is all i would play ... but with that said i really would like them to fix the summoning with Sorcerers and i believe this can be done ... they have the tools they just need to change some things around ... here is how i would help the summoners out ...

Daedric Prey:
Curse an enemy with a destruction rune, dealing Magic Damage to the target and Magic Damage to all other nearby enemies after 8 seconds.

The enemy that is under the effects of Daedric Prey will aggro your pet's causing your pet's to attack the cursed enemy.

When your pet's hit a enemy that is under the effects of Daedric Prey that damage hit's all enemies around the cursed target within 28 meters.

If you use this skills with not enough magicka to cast your pet's will aggro on the target enemy you tried to cast the curse on for 8 seconds.

If there are no enemies within 28 meters of the cursed target your pet's aggro on that target and deal an additional 85% damage to the target except the Storm Atronach which only deals an additional 50% damage.


Greater Storm Atronach:
Summon a greater storm atronach that has no legs and floats around, following you for 60 seconds. This atronach gains no normal attack bonus(he deals about the same amount of damage as your other pets with this normal attack)

When every you cast Mages Fury/Lighting Form/Lighting Splash your atronach will cast a more powerful version of the spell dealing 550% more damage then yours.

This gives all your pets AoE damage and a good amount of single target damage...making them useful for clearing adds or helping you with a single target.

Thank you for reading

What's necromancy?
I think the closest bet is your summoned daedra and pets from the magic sorcs

I have said it before, and I will say it again. We already have the backbone of a necromancy skill. It's called Soul Magic, that mostly useless skill line with the good ultimate. I say overhaul it. Make soul trap deal more damage, and have a morph that increases damage by undead pets, add a few skills like summon skeleton/zombie/wraith/flesh colossus, and maybe a couple frost based attacks and call it a day.

looks like necromancy is alive and well, on the forums at least...
