This ult isn't nearly as strong as it seems tbh. In PVE maybe. But then you have a healer or tank sitting on their ult pool waiting to use this if someone dies. But if no-one dies, that player is basically wasting ult the entire fight.

And in PVP, 3 players is a small amount of players. If you have 10 players dead and raise 3 of them, you aren't doing much really. Plus, you can't choose who you res, so you better hope it isn't a level 40 or a glass cannon player who is just going to die the moment they get up. And again, you are just sitting on this ultimate, wasting it essentially, if people aren't dying.

I would imagine the amount of players who run this skill and use the Ult at 500 ultimate in the bank will be the majority. And the number of players who are sitting at 500 ultimate without using this or any other ultimate just in case they need to res someone will be high.

Where do you get that number from? Last I saw was 200 ultimate.

listen here, i know is crazy but... maybe we can test it before judge?

I can see only two places where this ultimate will be used or useful, by a necro tank/healer in dungeons and zergballs.
In other scenarios is just a waste of space remember is "random" resurrection, in trials it will rez tre dd that will die 2 seconds later and in pvp it will rez tre level 40 that will die 2 seconds later i guarantee.

Do you have something productive to add? The general sentiment among the people I've talked to who are in trial progression groups seems to be that an instant rez for multiple people is too powerful. What would be your preferred way to balance it?

His comment is spot on, to be honest. The class hasn't even gone through the final balance pass yet. In fact, on the internal servers Necro has been tweaked, and we don't even know how yet. So why waste breathe on being critical when your opinion is formed on out of date information?

You can store up to 500 ultimate. That is where I get the 500 from. The 200 cost is irrelevant if you never use the ultimate. And most people are going to be sitting on their capped 500 ultimate while waiting to use this ability. And in most situations, it is just a waste of ultimate if you never need to res someone. There are two scenarios with this ultimate:

Scenario 1: You don't cast an ultimate during a fight just in case you need to cast the res ult. If no-one dies, you don't use your ult at all during the fight. You just wasted ultimate because you probably have 500 stored now and you aren't using it just in case.

Scenario 2: You cast your other ultimate during a fight, like warhorn. Outcome: a player dies and now you don't have the 200 ultimate needed to res them because you just cast warhorn. So you are just wasting an ultimate slot.

It is not as good an ultimate as it looks.

These "Trial Progression" groups you talk to - have they actually ever cleared any content? You can gather that Reanimate is a poor choice in an ulti just from reading the description. I'm going to be so disappointed if anyone sits on ulti points for Reanimate, instead of popping something truly of group value, like Horn.

Why don't we playtest the class and abilities before nerfing them based on text and not actual gameplay?

Another example of theorycrafters being the bane of MMOs.

My 2 cents:
Cost 250 - 300 ulti (150 cost for resurrecting 3 players is basically 50 ulti for a player's "live". Almost like reversed NB Incap before numerous nerfs (this ulti used to cost 50 ultimate points back in the day) ).

Base morph: Resurrects 2 players in AOE circle. Resurrected targets have low resources. (So if you will not be careful they can die right away again.
Morph 1: Resurrects 3 players in AOE circle. (One additional player).
Morph 2: Converts to a single target ability (You can only resurrect 1 player). Resurrect target recovers % (40, 50 60 ? ) f its resources upon resurrection.
