Let me start by saying that I am happy I got to C2 necromancer as it took great effort seeing as I took pyromancer which in itself is the most annoying class if you love fireball. With that sad id like to make a list of pros before hitting the cons since the tittle of this thread demands I rage.
Pros : You get 5 skeleton pets which makes for great distractions for annoying trash mobs.
-You get a tanky Shoggoth that takes great damage before falling.
-Corpse Cannon its just a great damage skill.
-Nice turret for continuous damage.
-Nice meat shield for 15 sec of aoe.
-An ok wall.
Cons : Skeletons are literally worthless in any boss fight as all it takes is 1 AoE from the boss to obliterate 90% of them.
- Skeletons are constantly bugging in random areas forcing you to relog to resummon or else the skill just fizzels if you try to resummon at location.
- Skeletons deal mediocre damage.
- Because of all the negatives of having skeletons you waste a vast amount of corpse resource.
- Shaggoth also bugs constantly.
- Both Shaggoth and Skeletons only attack when you stand still and let them regroup right on top of your location, making for dodging AoEās and boss attacks a real pain.
- Corpse Cannon has a ridiculous cost of corpses, literally 2 casts = 500 silver.
- All the skills mentioned above cost a dreadful amount of corpse resource.
I have gone thru 100k silver of corpse potions just grinding in Alameth, using the skills regularly as it is the only way to optimize the class damage. There isnāt that much needed to fix these problems really.
First off lower the cool down of Skeletons to 30 sec because of their fragile nature you are guaranteed to summon them continuously.
Second make disinter A PASSIVE, gathering corspes should not feel like a chore, let us collect corpses naturally, or at least make Disinter a buff you can turn on to gather corpses of your fallen enemies.
Thirdly please PLEASE change pet uiā¦all pets in the game are utterly mentally challenged, in fact leave them as is, just make them respond immediately when you attack an enemy, pet should rush at the target as servant acts to its masters enemies.
Seriously thou please change corpse gathering or remove the gimmick all toghether and double the cost of SP the skills need. Either way the necromancer in its current state is in my opinion a terrible class to strive for. I see classes out damage me and when I want to compete I am punished with a bill to buy more corpse potionsā¦Please helpā¦
- Edit : And pleaseā¦ make all pets teleport to you if you run too farā¦ the fact that IF one of your pets agroes a random mob as you are fleeing or passing by makes for a painful traveling experience because if your pets agro something random thatās it your forced to kill that mob or lose your pets since they will stay there and not return to you.
