    Or you will have to accept that the Necromancer class is not for dealing DPS, it is for tanking hence why they get an ultimate that buffs their health by 30,000 points.

    This would make me sad if this was the case but classes are better in some roles more than others. For me a sticky dot or two that are better than the ones in game currently would be so helpful.

    I don't think it'd be the complicated to make the class fun, I mean honestly but I don't know the inner workings of ZOS.

    I would do:

    Make skulls faster, drops a corpse (only a head but it's part of one so I count it, we need more corpses)

    Give Blighted Blastbones a DoT on enemies hit

    Boost up the self-synergy damage of Boneyard

    Make the final hit(s) of Skeletal Summons be a DoT, has to go full duration

    Tether, you can tether to a corpse for the full duration or tether to just the ground for half.

    Animated Blastbones ultimate morph now resurrects up to 3 allies but also spawns up to 6 zombies that explode and do AOE damage to enemies in the area. Also places Heal Absorption on them. Drops corpses

    Empowering Grasp- No longer powers summons or grants empower. On top of the CC's it does it also does DoT damage to enemies in the circles.

    Fear totem is instant and pulsates to fear every 2 seconds after, drops a corpse.

    Instead of complaining, take action and delete all our necromancer characters. It's a simple step that I've already taken.

    It seems like an odd move, to delete your character. Unless you want to tempt them to buff necros to get some crown sales for riding lessons and skill lines as you level a new one.

    Necro bash builds are actually worse than dk in pvp, only people don't seem to use them. They drop em dead with super high burst and consistent threat while being pretty hard to kill. Good thing few are catching on....

    That meme is ridiculous. Both Templar and Sorc are in far better shape that Necros.

    The meme was from almost a year ago so not quite as relevant now as it was then.

    This is an old(er) post that got Necro-ed (heh)

    That pic was more about PvE, where necro has its niche as elemental catalyst slave/aoe major vuln and they make good tanks.
    But yes, even with their small deficiencies sorc and templar are miles better than necro in PvP and have been for while now.
    Balanced by people with no prior gamedev experience, couldn't fix performance issues in a decade, can't code a real matchmaking algorithm to save their lives, more maintenance downtime than all the other MMOs put together, more bugs introduced than bugs fixed every big patch, same stagnant combat for years.

    Kind of funny thing is that Necromancer was just on sale in the crown store

    Yes, buy the new Mule Class to hold all your crap!

    I just want one decent burst skill, my skills to work as advertised (Boneyard, looking at you. Blastbones targeting, looking at you too) and just one unique major buff in my passives.
    While buff-cros have their real uses in hard core PvP groups, and especially core trial groups, they certainly aren't as player friendly as sorcs and arcanists.

    Unfortunately the attempt to simplify their rotation simply renders the magicka morph of blastbones useless, the dps is no easier to increase for average players, particularly with the destro nerf, and the old interesting rotation for hardcore players is absent. It's lose lose at the moment.
