in Pve this class still good,I just wish Zos fix necro 10+ skill bug first and in PvP better some.

I just wanna play a spooky mage without worrying about my main class skill breaking.
It broke when it used to attack my enemies and it still breaks now that it is supposed to attack me.

Necro is performing pretty nicely with corpsebuster, Stalking Blastbones rework was a bad change, but we can just pick the other morph and ignore that, makes no difference for me.

Overall, the class is on a better spot right now than it has been for a great while.

Seriously need the Stalking Blastbones back and they need to make the Blastbones invincible, like it has a health bar!

I’m a tank, so the changes haven’t affected me yet. The poor class immobilize is something I have learned to work around by now.

Yeah. I did Infinite Archives the past couple weeks as a bit of a warmup to getting back into the game, seeing what I missed the past few years... Necromancer is pretty weak for damage and so-so for healing at best... For comparison I popped on my arcanist and was just melting through foes even in healer gear because crux is such a simple mechanic, ontop of just overall massively higher damage numbers, while corpses are basically hard carried by the Corseburster set to even be somewhat viable and useful (Which only applies to damage, meanwhile arcanists can run any set they feel like and even apply crux to healing while mecromancers are forced to run this set if they want their class mechanic to be even remotely useful!), which I don't have yet, meaning my necromancer struggled pretty badly. Meanwhile even for healing arcanist just has so many goodies from buff circles to ally armor, debuffs and more.

For example the leaping blast bones deals about 8k in healer gear, while my healer-geared arcanist gets the damage laser to deal about 30k over the whole channel which is about how long the skeleton takes to assemble itself, find a target, then leap and explode, meanwhile the arcanist is just lasering people all the way to the back-line. And that's without having 3x crux loaded up for double damage and a massive almost-50% cost discount for it, because I didn't go the morph that adds extra channel time and thus hits per crux making it even more damage and went for the barrier morph instead for a bit of extra survival. That's almost 60k damage, in healer gear, SIX TIMES what my necromancer was doing with blastbones, WITHOUT the morph that gives it an extra 3 ticks and thus an extra almost 9k at a 45% cost discount too over the 4 second channel that fires all the way in a line at huge range that can also be traited to give a defense bubble, vs an 8k explosion that takes those 4 seconds doing nothing and gives almost nothing else but a minor healing debuff!

Also the crux-generating ability hits 3x and explodes on the third hit in a huge circle, which is a lot better than the skull taking 3 entire separate casts, costing mana each time, to bounce to an extra target or two on that third cast with the bouncing morph meanwhile the Arcaist's ability detonates every single cast in an AoE without a target limit meaning they need to cast 1/3 as much to get vastly better results ontop of fueling their class mechanic with every cast without even thinking about it which feeds back into the ludicrous laser above. Necromancer's design is showing its age something bad and definitely needs brought up to par. It's honestly so skewed it's not even funny and makes me a bit wary of returning if the balance is that lopsided.

The healing is much the same. Their basic heal hits 3x and with one morph can even give allies it heals ultimate charge! Then you have the laser heal which can restore resources, multi-person barriers they can spam that can either be stronger if you do spam or heal like the resto staff healing bubble on multiple people, has a ground circle that can provide resources and heal while also giving nearly every minor buff in the entire game, and another one that gives armor, plus a weapon-enchanting skill that gives them yet more resources ontop of sorcery buff just for having it slotted on EITHER bar so you don't even have to double-bar it, though I'm not entirely sure if that works on heals or not. Meanwhile Necro has... a circle heal that can cleanse if it eats a corpse that no one uses as far as I'm aware, a rez ult that can be useful but also is rarely run to my knowledge, and a healing ghost that basically just acts as a single-target Grand Healing and just kind-of tickles healthbars compared to the damage coming in.

Makes me wish Necro got a rework to bring it up closer to Arcanist standards as far as ease of use and all that goes. Most of its damage just feels like it tickles enemies and the necro healing feels like it's lacking by comparison, which is a shame because I originally got into the game as a necro. I loved the idea of a class that used such traditionally-dark magic to help and heal, and it just seems that Arcanist does everything a necro can do other than the rez ult but way better to the point it makes me wonder if anyone even runs a necro anymore other than gimick corpseburster dps builds! If the only reason a spec is viable (not even necessarily GOOD, just "usable"!) is because one set is carrying it that hard it's probably a pretty bad sign on how the game's balanced.

Edit: Also didn't know editing apparently removes my vote from the post, but it should be pretty obvious what I voted.
