    Almost everybody was calling for a Necromancer class in ESO and based on this poll Necromancer is the most unpopular pick... interesting.

    There is no choice for specializing in the element Au (I.e. gold).

    Cause they let their expectations of the class get ahead of themselves, again. Same thing with Warden. And with the idea of being forced with a single magic Type they wouldnt want to be stuck with it.

    I’m very insterested in blood magic because of that girl from MK 11 I forget her name. She is lethal though. But I already have a Nord Warden Ice mage that I main and she hits HARD. Almost 100% ice damage aside from force pulse. So I guess cryomancer gets my vote.

    Mind sharing your build? Mine only performs decently but with terrible sustain.

    Gives us a void damage class and void staves.

    We had something like this in Dragon Nest. It was a gravity/space mage, pretty cool with time stop, black hole, teleport, and so on.

    I never played that game, but im working on a small 3D rpg game. One of my classes im working on in unity engine is a void mage, black hole and teleport are 2 abilities being designed. I guess like its back to the drawing board.

    Yeah sure. I run the winterborn set with ysgramor jewelry and staff. Iceheart monster set, atronach mundus. Full max mag enchants. I don’t have everything gold yet. Mostly purple and 2 blue.

    I also use witch doctors brew. Witchdoctors combined with the atronach should make up for lack of mag sustain on a less than ideal magicka race like Nord. Being a Nord though is pretty important for this build actually, especially when soloing dungeons or WB you can get damn near 100% uptime on ults cause of the Nord ult regen and in PVP when drop your ice fields on top of the chaos and then drop your ult RIP. Easy Kills for you and everyone on your team.

    FB:
    Ult: permafrost- stuns enemies hit 3 times in it and 30% immobilization
    Bird of prey for minor berserk and expedition
    Living trellis- main burst heal(heals at expiration or recast) also doubles as HoT and out heals every DoT in the game.
    Force Pulse-main spammable and execute
    Inner Light- for the extra max mag and spell crit
    Frost reach-main CC (I sometimes swap this out for arctic blast for extra heals and still have a CC but I sacrifice damage)

    BB:
    Ult: icy rage or storm? Whatever it’s called
    Frost elemental blockade- 40% immobilize
    Winters Revenge- 30% immobilize
    Ice Fortress- resistance buffs, minor protection
    Blue Betty- mag regen, major sorcery
    Mist form- depending on your play style this can swap out for lotus flower. I swap it out when I PVE. This is a PVP build but it is also performs well in PVE. I can solo a lot of dungeons not all and pretty much every world boss I’ve fought so far I can solo.

    Also the winterborn set is very important for the proc when dealing ice dmg(which is all the time so it procs all the time) you have an 8% chance to summon an ice pillar which once again immobilizes and dmg scales with max mag.

    Thats, like 90% the build I'm using already, only difference is the food, and my Mundus is the Apprentice to boost base dmg however i can.

    The atronach and witchdoctors is the difference maker for your sustain issues. Aside from that could swap out ysgramor for torugs pact which I’m going to experiment with soon. I’m just working on leveling my jewelry crafting to do it. I run frost damage enchants in my staves and Torugs Pact will boost that on top of extra hp and resist. Should hit harder than the ysgramor frost dmg boost

    Whoops! All of the you're sudden experiencing histotoxic hypoxia because your cytochrome oxidase a3 has been inhibited just like in cyanide poisoning. Your cells no longer make ATP because there's no proton gradient for your ATP synthase. Oh no, whatever will you do?

    Obviously biological horrors are also a possibility...

    Biomancy needn't be limited to just healing....
