Maybe necro wont bring pets. They just have too much bugs wirh sorc pets so I cant imagine doing the same mistake.

Whatcha think then? Maybe a soul tree for single target damage?

There'll have to be some form of re-animation in some way - it wouldn't be necromancy otherwise.

Being used as a thrall by an enemy player in pvp would be so frustrating... I love the idea!
It would be awesome if some new staff weapons were introduced.

The ultimate badmouth in PvP will no longer be tbagging, but will be bringing someones corpse back to life and using it to wash the dishes.

Tank (bone), healing (blood or spirit), dps (minions) lines.

Or something quite similar, given how the Warden and subsequent class restructuring has been done.

My guess is it will be NB skills combined with Sorc skills... Eww... even thinking about it gives me a head ache of how OP & Broken that would be...

Shadow Streak - be invincible, invisible and teleport over 30m without increasing costs when used permanently. All while your DoTs tick, crit and get empowered by your passives.

SO Ladies and Gents, we know now that there IS a necromancer class which will be released.. but how will it work?
In PvP, will i be able to re-animate up to two foes? with them becoming simple NPC's with 20k health and acting as a pet? Or will I be able to summon skeletons from the ground?
Will it be viable for PvE?
Honestly, I'm loving what Im seeing and hearing, and this year looks like its gonna change ESO in a better way.
Let me hear what you think the abilities will be!

I think ZOS will use the same trick as with DK -> warden, so it will be basically sorc, except it will have skeleton instead of clannfear and zombie instead of that other thing sorcs have, and where it will differ substantially is colour tone of spell effects; they will be green-ish instead of violet-ish.

EDIT: almost forgot. Unlike sorc it will be paywalled, of course, to make up for the cost of Adobe Photoshop license for making skills green, and subtly OP to ensure commercial success.

I think a class can have summoned entities without them having to be pets (pets as we know them with the sorc scamp, matriarch, etc). I wouldn't be surprised if their are necromancer abilities like the warden bug swarm, cliffracer, etc where the necromancer summons skeletons instead to run at and attack an enemy if that makes sense.

I actually disagree, I liked the point about a paywall.. because its mildly true (i don't mind - i play this enough to fund their endeavours) BUT I think it'll be a drastically different class all together. I think it'll be inherently weak, with no source of protection, but it'll rely on what it can summon to be strong.
Im interested to see how it plays out though.

This would be a good idea - I think skeletons are a given, but id like to see how they utilise the idea!

The problem with the necromancer class isn't even how powerful it might or might not be its the fact that regardless of what they do it will never live up to other players dreams.

It's like meeting your celebrity idol in person, you'll get disappointed. It could be the most amazing balanced class ever to hit this game... doesn't matter... it'll be torn apart by those disappointed that the idea/dream they had of what the Necromancer class should be didn't come true.

I think a number of the skills that could work here are already in game. The hands reaching from the ground could work as a root. Some sort of fear mechanic. A skeleton summon that is on a timer, similar to the shade. A large skeleton ultimate. Definitely a zombie summon of some kind.

But, considering this is being released alongside dragons, I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a dragon priest ultimate. You summon the priest and he performs a shout. Or at the very least, draugr summons.

I'll do the stamina one, I hope for a backbar different than Endless Hail - Caltrops - Poison Injection...

I hope it won't stink
