As if sorc pets aren't cancer enough, people want even more.

Hell no.

This is The Elder Scrolls. In their ground state a Necromancer's undead minions exist only in the Soul Cairn.

As an ESO Necromancer you do have numerous undead minions at your command. An entire Legion of them. Can you not feel them at your back? Can you not see them in your mind's eye?

When you cast a Necromancy spell you call forth some of these minions from the Soul Cairn to carry out your will upon Nirn. When the spell is over the minions return the Soul Cairn. Sometimes the minions leave transliminal echoes of themselves behind on Nirn in the form of "corpses".

That is how Necromancers make inter-evocative hermetic harmonic resonance work for them in the hyperagonal world of TES, or at least it could be with a bit of imagination.

Are you sure? In Skyrim there are necromancers leading around multiple minions.

Because Necromancer's have always been summoners of the dead.

If you want to confuse a dark arts user for it, then you are thinking of a Warlock.

Conan Exiles has unlimited amount of Thralls that you can enslave - but the servers max at 40 players.

Computing capacity is not infinite. If you get pets you have to take something away. Maybe some game could give unlimited pets but you'd have to play in 8 bit graphics, lol.

Werewolves have two wolves, why can't a necro have two skeletons?

People QQ'd for years wanting Necro's in the game. Necro's are in the game. Go QQ about something else.

I don't think it's that you can't have a huge army, but rather that they're such short lived little things. From what I've seen it feels more like planting a temporary turret than summoning a minion.

This is the ESO Necromancer, not Diablo Necromancer.

This is the ESO Templar, not WoW Paladin/Priest.

This is the ESO Warden, not WoW/Diablo Druid.

Etc.

I hope the Necromancer is the last Class.

We need more Skill Lines (Weapons, Guilds etc). And I'm not talking about one Skill Line per update. I'm talking about several at once!

I want Arcane Archer with elemental bow attacks, spear, physical melee staff, some kind of focus or orb that gives you a pure casting look.

Probably from having it in another game or just imagining it to be powerful. I have never played a necromancer before so without preconceived notions I think the new class is fine.

I mean you can summon only 1 skeleton in like every god dam elder scroll games, 2 in skyrim but I keep reading complaint that ESO Necro should command a full size army of undead. Why ?

And even in the MMO's industri I can only think of 1 necromancers that had more then 1 permanent pet and its in DAoC.

I can understand that some player wished it would be a multi skeleton class but reading the complaint it feel like if ZOS went agaisnt all odds for some reasons.

Because its a necromancer. Necromancers traditionally summon the undead to fight for them, generally more than one.

For game balance I imagine they have had to keep the summoning limited or it could be OP.

Diablo 2? Just an arpg?!?!

Diablo 2 ruled!

... Back then.

Hater.

Necro mancer fantasy: undead army. Thats it. People want what they dreamed about, what they got from other games.

ESO engibe cant handle that. Such a shame.

In Diablo II the necromancer could summon more than one skeleton.

Maybe that's the reason?

Yeah, but Diablo II and Blizzard isn't the arbiter of all games. In fact what ideas aren't plagiarized usually suck.

I like the way it is in ESO, players with multiple bots following them around sucks.

Funny thing, this thread. The community religiously begged for the Necro without having the slightest idea about what the Necro is and does.

I disgree. I've played Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. I've ran a summoner or Necromancer in each of those games (not going to bring up the other games I've played Necromancers in) and when Necromancers where announced I like many others figured they'd stick to the past formula in the past ELDERSCROLLS games. So keeping it within the Elderscrolls series...let's have a look shall we.....

1st is the duration of the pets.
-Morrowind Summon Zombies/Skeletons lasted 60 secs. Permanent pets could be summoned using the soul trap spell.
-Oblivion Zombies/Skeletons lasted 25-30 secs.
-Skyrim zombies/skeletons lasted 60 sec and thralls lasted a VERY long time.
-EsO skeletons we get 15 secs. 15 secs. That's disappointing to most of us who have waited for the class.

2nd is the number of pets.
-Morrowind only let you summon 1 at a time...but if I remember correctly you could create a spell that summons 2. So that counts.
-Oblivion only 1 summon.
-Skyrim lets you summon 2 pets. Plus the Ritual stone allowed you to summon...a lot once a day...(still counts)
-EsO lets you summon 3. But the durations are so short they are more torrents than actual pets.

3rd is pet functionality.
All the previous games allowed you to summon skeletons and zombies....both ranged AND MELEE. So why would a magic ranged necromancer call upon a ranged mage skeleton? Makes no sense. I'd summon a melee skeleton that gets out front while i cast from the rear. Make the skeleton sword do fire/magic damage so it can scale with our magic pool and spell damage. And then the blastbone summon....I think we can all agree that at LEAST is suppose to be a zombie. Exploding zombie makes more sense than a skeleton. I'd even go so far as to add a summon thats an infected zombie that rushes ahead and deals melee damage and spits poisonous vomit and explodes after it's killed or the time expires. 2 in 1...a melee blast zombie.

These are a few of the problems most fans of Necromancers have with this class. Only thing i can understand is the summon duration. Perma pets would simply be sorcs 2.0. But 15 secs....come on guys. That's pitiful. 30 secs at least...60 secs max.
