    Necros are okay they could use a little love but they work fine for me . That being said for me personally wardens are just \khind of mheh /blah /mediocre and need a lot more fixing.

    Disagree. I've been playing this game for four years and have gone through several stam characters looking for 'the one.' My Bosmer Stamcro is now my main, and I've had a lot of fun with it. It's also the strongest character I have currently.

    what spammable do you use? I find skull really really hard to weave with. I have a bosmer stamcro too because bosmers just make sustain so much easier to handle.

    I had an orc stamcro and as said here...you end up copy pasting a random stam build.
    I have leveled my 12th char as a magcro...and it's maybe the worst char I have. Not funny at all and clunky.

    Wardens are by far better and a lot more funny and diverse. Necros are a failure in ESO.

    To each his own. I have a orc Stam necro and I'm loving it so far. I'm using Necro abilities with good damage and good survivability in PvE and Pvp. I think once I get maxed out I'm going to try healing though.

    Still I do wish there was a undead army build. I expected to be able to summon undead being a Necro when I started the class.

    Summoning undead SHOULD be the main thing about Necro.

    Like that's it, period. They should have at least twice as many summons as Sorc and should be able to have a viable pet based build.

    The fact that out of 15 skills and 3 ults they somehow managed to get it to where you summon less minions than Sorcerer, a class whose focus was never really supposed to be on summoning, is a crime within itself?

    You can have fun on the class, but it certainly doesn't feel like a Necromancer. I'd say it feels more like a Death Knight, but in WoW death knights can have 2 skeletal body guards at all times, summon a big tanky zombie, a gargoyle, and can raise a huge army of like 8-12 random undead.

    And it's not even a pet focused class in WoW....

    This is where you can say "well that's wow and this is eso" and I'd be like, sure, I agree. If the class was called Death Knight and not necromancer.

    The fact of the matter is most NPCs can summon 1-3 various undead. Including zombies, shades, many kinds of skeletons, spirits, etc. The fact we don't have this variety despite the NPC version of the class being shoved in our face every which way feels so bad.

    I feel like they never originally intended on a necro class and that’s why sorcerer had the summons. ZO needs to revamp necro and do it right, and bite the bullet and do sorcerer right as well. Sorcerer can have summons but it should be atronachs (minus flesh of course as that’s strictly necro) and all else should be magic related. Change necro up and add a daedra related summoning from sorcerer as part of one of the classes. Or keep it as part of sorcerer, I don’t know. They could even take the blood magic away from sorcerer, keep daedra and add atronachs fully, and give the blood magic to vampires so that vampire is an actually skill line for once.

    Can agree. I don't think an entire Sorcerer re-vamp is needed, however adjustments to the Dark Magic and daedric summoning skill lines would be cool. Personally, I feel like sorcs should be able to at least choose from all 3 basic atronachs to summon. Storm, ice, fire.

    I also wish the Dark Magic skill line in sorcs actually involved more dark magic, not crystals. Dark magic similar to the dark meteor that NPCs throw that explode into little dark magic tornadoes. Stuff like that. I just find it weird that a dark magic skill line is mainly about crystals...

    Necro shouldn't get any Daedra summons, though. I want them to have complete undead variety.

    Id also say necro doesnt need a complete over-haul, but just some pretty big changes. Like the tether ability should be put into 1 ability, grave grasp should NOT exist as a skill. It is the worst skill I have ever seen in the entire game, healing skill line is fine and so I wont suggest any changes to it. Only thing I'd recommend is changing the ult that rez's corpses as blastbones to raise them as a mixture of the summons that would be added where these 2 other skills were replaced. Like you summon an extra 2 warriors, a healing ghost, a mage, and a big tanky skeleton for 30 seconds. That's with your base summons too. Reason why this would be alright is that you'd need corpses for each one in this new ult, so getting 5 corpses all together could be pretty hard in some situations. The tether ability in gravelord should be replaced with the ability to summon a zombie or a skeletal warrior. The grave grasp ability in Bone Tyrant should summon either a tiny bone colossus (the small ones that we sometimes see necros summon) or a big buffed up heavy armor wearing skeletal warrior.

    With these simple fixes and adjustments, the necro would keep what certain people presently like about it in place all the while adding what people like me desperately want.

    As a final little flavor note: I'd also want enemies that are killed with the Gravelord ult to come back as very basic zombies/flayer skeletons for like 18 seconds. Only if the ult deals the killing blow, though.

    My necros are still like level 9, logging in every day to do crafting writs and level horses.

    One day I'll play them.
