I still want a flesh golem pet. Every time I replay the main story quest where you make the flesh golem for Abnur I get a little sad at the missed opportunity.

I just imagine the flesh colossus as us making him better.

Though it would be nice if we could keep him around longer.

That being said, anybody notice the enemy necros aren't utilizing corpses anymore and just chucking zombies at you?

Just my personal opinion. The reason why blast bones is sometimes unresponsive is because the initial target you activated the skill with is dead, so the blast bones simply stands because it has no target to attack. I think it should be altered to attack any target in front of you.

Permanent pets? No.
Alternatively though, shambling/decaying zombies, basic skeletons and lingering ancestry spirit summons that last for at most 2-3seconds should be baked into the skill line passives for necro.

Zombies for AoEs dps - leaves behind Decayed Soil, deals XX% damage every 0.5 secs for 1.5 seconds (Bow, 2H, Lightning staff)

Skeleton for melee/tanking - attacks the lowest health foe for for 3 seconds, dealing XX% damage every 1 second for 3 seconds. (SnB, DW, Fire/Frost Staff)

Spirits for healing - Gathers up all overhealing done and bursts, leaving behind a Soul Mist that heals for XX% for 2seconds. (Resto staff)

Each one triggering off of critical hits / heals. Summon is based and scaled from Front Bar weapon. Passive summons do not leave a corpse. Can have up to 3 at once.

If you find it such a "disappointment" then tell ESO what they could do to improve it? Or suggest how you would design the class?

I don't want perma pet like sorcs but I just hope that the next class does not have fire and forget pets and they go some unique route.

I mean they eventually made Magden pretty strong but that took years to do. Necro is frustrating at times but only needs a few skills to be tweaked to make it great.

I like my stam necromancer, but admittedly he plays more like a warlock.I can't see a necromancer wandering about with zombie or skeleton pets, though. Who would do that? It's clanky, smelly, and offends people that could still be useful.

Sure, most game settings have the insane necromancers ruling over a cemetery, raising the dead as friends and minions, but they don't last very long once the local residents figure out what's going on. Many of them are tragic figures that started to dabble in necromancy to bring a loved one back.

The other kind of necromancer with a standing host of undead are the purposeful ones, who sit in their lair and raise an undead army to conquer a place, or create undead guards as a side product while perfecting their art in order to become undead themselves and simply "outlive" their adversaries.

For the adventuring kind, the dead are a tool to use and throw away. Making corpses radiate energy and explode fits that as much as draining a dying opponent's soul and using that energy to recharge one's weapon enchantments. The step to temporarly raising a corpse isn't far. IMO the raised dead should stay until they're destroyed, but the sane adventuring necromancer would destroy his undead tools himself once combat is over and they outunlived their usefulness.

Where the undead comes from is a different story, why raise some centuries old bones, when there is a fresh corpse lying around? The true terror of the necromancer is that your fallen friends will rise and fight for them.

Same with the Warden bear since most (all) bears in the overworld will attack you, they’re naturally hostile in ESO — Then again, it isn’t too much of a hassle to click around a pet to reach a crafting table, but zone chat sometimes expresses their annoyance with pets. Bounties are annoying too, but lol

Except for that group of wyrd that Hircine called weak for losing to the reachmen. I forget what their home is called. Once you complete that quest all those bears are neutral towards you.
