Necromancer Character Ideas

dazee · April 2019

My first Necromancer is probably going to be a power hungry anti hero type, if she saves people and does good it's becuase she gets something out of it or it fits into her plan to gain more power.

What are your Necromancer character ideas? I mean character ideas not build ideas.

SFDB · April 2019

An armored lord of Darkness with an enormous hammer who wades into battle with his endless horde of the damned flanking him. His name inspires fear, his approach is answered with cries and fleeing.

Because I'm the hero.

When a daedric prince invades the world, sometimes you need the evil you know to defeat the evil you don't.

Evil does not like company.

I really hesitate between stam DD, Mag DD, Tank and Healer. My character's theme will change depending on that, but anyway, it will be a khajiit.
I'd really like to use the golem transformation with a 2H xD
I'm most likely going to play a DD with the resurrection ulti.

So, an agile, sensual and deadly female khajiit who can play with your soul if you happen to die.

Mine is going to be very much like yours as a power hungry anti-hero.

Current head story is a Dunmer from House Telvanni who is betrayed by other members of the house and somehow ends up on Mannimarco's chopping block. Get his soul stolen, but breaks out of the Wailing Prison as per the story. Then returns to the world and starts using dark magic and seeking power for a quest of revenge.

I do wish that the game offered more "evil" choices when handling quests. It's sometimes frustrating to be playing more anti-hero concepts and having to save kittens from trees because you want the achievements etc.

At least you can extort some of the road merchants!

Every time.

Also out of principle I make terrible choices for other people.
If a quest arc ends and it's something like "Should I be with the person I love and happy, or go back to my family and be miserable?" I always choose the one that makes them miserable.
If you're going to ask a random person you met 20mins ago to make your hard life choices for you, you deserve to have the terrible outcomes.

The problem is that I wanna make a healer and its difficult to be the bad guy being a healer 😅

Do what we do with evil clerics in our RP games. You just heal everyone and act all nice, but secretly view them all as your minions who are doing your bidding so you can gain wealth and power.

Jarndyce · April 2019

I usually roleplay good characters so this will be new and different.
I have never role played a Khajiit or a vampire, so I am thinking a Necromancer Khajiit Vampire Lord. His personality modeled after Regis from Witcher 3.

DreadDaedroth · April 2019

I'd like to play a mad,twisted argonian bringing corruption and disease instead of healing, he'd be a Defile Tank for PvP (I already have sets like leeching plate, affliction and curious how they'll rework them).

RaddlemanNumber7 · April 2019

When I make a Necro I'm going to start it off from the Elsweyr tutorial and move forward from there, not going back at all to do the whole Wailing Prison / Vestige / Main Quest thing, or any other old content. Necro's don't need to be a Vestige in order to explain away their ability to resurrect themselves, and I don't think I could stand going through all that again for the umpteenth time anyway.

If Imperial the character will be a fugitive Worm Cult member from IC. A rat who abandoned an obviously sinking ship.

If a Breton the character will be a former sexton who got a bit too involved with his work, got caught and fled. I might try to dress him up like a clergyman with that tonsured hair cut an' all.

If a dunmer or altmer then the character will just be put in the skeleton polymorph and I'll play it as if it's the skeletal thrall of its non-combat pet - probably an "alfiq" but maybe a banekin or scamp.

A zombie thrall "controlled" by a pet is also a possibility, maybe dressed up as the Prophet, Sai Sahan, or Lyris with character race as appropriate. I think this is probably the only way I'll ever play a Nord or Redguard.

Necros are going to be bad. Necros are going to be fun.

"Dark knowledge is still knowledge, and thus useful. The most useful in my experience." -Neloth of house Telvanni

Originally he used necromancy, and similar dark arts purely for academic purposes. He was curious of it's potential, and possibbilities.

Imagine if we could simply summon the murdered, and ask him who murdered him? Or we could simply force others to tell the truth, and reveal their crimes when accused? No more false judgement, or getting away easily.

Upon the crisis on the land he decided to put these arts to use. Defeat the enemy whatever it takes. Well actually there is one rule he would never step. No one gets doomed for eternity.

Will try do go all out of the box with the necro.

I have 8 lvl 50 så like to try out something total new.

Will make a Ice, magic shield tank.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=132648
IceHeart set.
Light Fortified Brass set.
Combat Physician set.

with skills like this
Active skills

The will give me 7 possible shields.
1: Dapend Magic (Ability).
2: Combat Physician set (Proc. it with Swift Scythe, that is a self heal).
3: Concentrated Barrier (Psijic passive).
4: Tri Focus (From Destro Ice Staff)
5: Iceheart (Shield from Monster set)
6: Reinforced (From CP The Steed)
7: Hardening Enchantment (From Weapon)

Are there other ways to get more shields and still have max resistance:P??

Minor Breton noble schemed out of her position as heir and fled Highrock. Obsessed with conquering mortality due to near death experience. Sees herself as morally good. Generally really nice person but will do some pretty sinister things with a smile on her face. (Evil does not comprehend itself)
She didn't join the worm cult because she isn't into daedra worship and won't serve another entity other than herself.

"Necromancy isn't evil the same way pyromancy isn't evil. The dead are merely tools to be wielded and there is nothing evil about that."

Alcest · April 2019

I'd like to have possibility to ressurect 1-2 dead players to make them my AI zombies with their gears and skills what they have on the moment of their death. This would make huge variability with this class, endless gameplay. But I suspect it is technically impossible with current servers state.

Browiseth · April 2019

i'll be making 2. one of them will be an Imperial still loyal to the daedra worshipping empire, the other will be an argonian living in an average argonian community in black marsh who is shunned by her peers

logarifmik · April 2019

An old Breton healer, who studied the dark arts in order to find treatment for terminally ill people. Those, who suffered from incurable diseases and were desparate enough, often came to him with a plea. And he helped them to the best of his ability. Most of the time the cure came without any side effects, but not always so. The most important thing, that the patient will live. The Cycle is broken and Arkay is fooled once again.

So, I'm thinking about Neutral Good arcane oriented character, which main MMO role will be a Healer.

Wildberryjack · April 2019

Mine is simple, if it benefits me I'll do it, if not then I'll walk away. Society shuns me, why should I help anyone if it isn't to MY benefit? They don't accept me, well I don't accept them. Everything I do will be determined by cold analytical reasoning.
