Are you dissapointed in Necromancer?

✭✭✭✭✭I didn't have any expectations since I never played a necromancer in games, and had only the in-game mobs, like Liches, etc., to go by, but I played with stam necro on the PTS a bit, and I quite like it. It seems like a well-rounded class, similar to warden in that it has dps, healing, and tanking skill trees, but more boosted in terms of power, mitigation, and utility. The one thing I didn't like is how intense the animations are; they are really well made (and some gave me a chuckle when I first tried them) but during combat they are too intrusive in my opinion, and this will be much more so when there are >2-3 necros in a group.0 -
nator316Soul ShrivendissapointedYes, when I think Necromancer I think of WoW Warlock plus Necromancy skills. Or Overlord Ainz powers1 -

✭noIt is a ton of fun and quite different from the other classes. I love it! I'm chomping at the bit for May 20th.If you're not disappointed now don't worry, you will be after nerfs in few months.
This is warden all over.
It shouldn't be. They are balancing it well now. I get better DPS on my MagSorc and don't feel Necro is OP honestly.Edited by Wildberryjack on May 7, 2019 3:50PMThe purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. ~Pablo Picasso0 -

✭✭Not in any hurry at all so I expect it to be totally nerfed by the time I may or may not puchase the chapter from sale.Edited by rpa on May 7, 2019 3:51PM0 -
Ashryn✭✭✭✭✭noI've never been a fan of Necromancers (& had no interest in playing one); so I was pleasantly surprised that when I tried one on PTS and had alot of fun with it. Now I'm planning on making a new character Necromancer when the new chapter goes live.3 -
Cerbolt✭✭✭✭noI was disappointed with warden so I set my expectations pretty low for necro. So I'm pretty surprised by how good it looks.PS EU | AD - For the Queen!

✭✭✭✭✭No opinion on Necromancers, because I never really cared about them in the first place / have had no expectations / haven't looked at how they work / don't play 'meta' or measure DPS / etc.
They're another class option, in a theme that does nothing for me. /shrug0 -
kinguardian✭✭✭✭noI really like it. With all the changes I am so frustrated with all my characters. Not long ago I started a dark elf nightblade and it just doesnt work I dont get it smoothly. But when I tried the necromancer with a breton it was so good. I like all the powers and it really fits. I hope they dont mess this one up1 -

lol are you for real?
it's a NECROMANCER, what did you expect them to do? Not summon the dead? lmfao
yes that's exactly what I was expecting them...to summon the dead...A LOT OF DEAD not just 1 temporary pet...actually u dont deserve me to spell it for you...clearly you haven't even played diablo 3 necromancer builds otherwise you would have already know what I meant.3 -

✭People seem to have such a low opinion of Necro's coming out. And Wardens and, apparently, just about a everything.
Is there a class that people actually like and feel like they're balanced and enjoy playing?2 -
Morgha_Kul✭✭✭✭✭
✭noHonestly, it's not something I'm in any way concerned with.
As a matter of practicality, I have 12 characters already, and no more character slots. I have enough to do.
As a matter of lore, necromancers are the bad guys in pretty well every culture in the game, so I don't see them as being appropriate as player characters. Not saying no one should have access to them, I mean, people can play murderers as part of the Dark Brotherhood story, just that I have no interest in playing them.Exploring Tamriel since 1994.0 -
twilightwarrick✭✭✭I feel a bit gutted it seems more a stamina based class, than a magic class
for gods sake a Necromancer is a dark arts sorc it obviously should be magic focused
I was planning to make this my first magic build I'm not sure now ,
wow good job again eso, and it needs more offensive abilities .4 -

✭✭dissapointedDissaponed in it as a class? no
Dissapointed in the fact that it's not spellcrafting and/or onehanded + rune skill line? YES1 -
Starlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I had few to no expectations. Not a fan of necromancers in fantasy games in general.
But, I noticed a lot of the stamina morphs are... very PvP specific. That, certainly, is diassapointing.0 -
Kraken13✭dissapointedVery disappointed, some as other classes nothing really new here, lots of possibilities to waste. A pity.1

I don’t really focus too much on balance side personally I personally care about the feel of the class. My problem with the warden is it felt shallow. The theme was way too broad. It was essentially a shallow beast tamer, chloromancer and cryomancer all thrown into one. If you are a person that likes to hold a theme, you pretty much had no options and a ton of skills that didn’t really flow together and just wasn’t visually appealing to use. When I played I didn’t feel like a beast tamer, chloromancer or cryomancer. It felt like I was thematically mixing off the dollar menu. The healing abilities of the class are a lot of the same also it needs better variety and stuff showing in actually using plants and not just off faint animations.
The necromancer did a lot better at sticking to a theme that flows through all its skill lines. My biggest problem is it’s not a real pet class. It basically 16 second long abilities that fade out. There is no horde you are making. It totally misses the mark of what draws people to the necromancer. It needs to have a option for a pet build. Which is A lot easier fix then the warden imo0 -

Funny, I seem to recall in-lore Necromancers easily being able to summon at least 2-3 skeletons and over-all being undead focused. Yes they have dark magic abilities, but to say their main focus isn't summoning the undead and other monstrous creations then we are playing 2 different games.
Heck, one of the main abilities we SEE from necromancers in game is a channel onto one of their summons that is very clearly giving it a buff through some sort of beam ability.1 -
linoge63✭✭✭Poll needs another option.
Ask me again in July.
Zactly.
Whatever players report and video that they are enjoying will be placed on the dev guillotine at least once then for sure just before the next new class comes out.
Instead of buffing other classes or retooling and adding new bells and whistles, it will be gutted and made next to obsolete1 -
ArchMikem✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭dissapointedI’m happy with it, though it definitely needs some tweaking. Some of the abilities feel clunky, and I really don’t like the justice system getting involved

uh, have you seen any videos from the PTS? we can summon multiple undead and when they die we can use the leftover corpses to make even more skeletons0 -

I want play a bard so much. I want a class that focuses on buffing and debuffing (maybe even like a control mage or something with strong CC). A different approach with the "healing" role.
I think that would be fun! Archeage has one like that - Skullknight is the main class I mean but I forget the name of the one that’s basically a Skullknight with heals (the musical ones)0
