Necromancer Weapon - Existing element or new element?

For the Necromancer class, has there been any indication of the weapon damage type? Will there be a new element? I'm thinking for Magicka, as it stands now there are Fire and Lightning staffs for damage. Frost is mostly for tanking. Physical will likely be for stamina using a two handed weapon (I think the 2h axe has scythe graphics). Maybe it'll be based on your own health and you have to use a restoration staff...

So do you think they will go with existing elements add a new weapon element?

    A necromancer is just a type of sorc. We already have sorcs and magicka based weapons (staves) in game. No need for anything else.

    As long as we get an item/morph/cosmetic that changes the existing staff effects to the necromancer powers colour palette I'm happy.

    In class it's probably going to be magic/disease. Out of class stuff like weapons? No, that's not changing for one class.

    Just non-elemental magic damage. Same as templar.

    If you read the description, you will see that it uses all 3 existing elemental types of damage.

    If you ask me Necromancers should have "Life Essence" magic. IE: Life taking and Life Giving ESO will never do it though.

    What do you mean? It's been done. Try out the Nightblade class sometime. :p
