Thank you for the kind words.
I think you've only picked Mail armor because it's the least used, and would balance the amount of armor types. Personally I think that's silly, a Necro strikes me as cloth, changing that just to try to justify them belonging more in the current itemization is silly.
Blizzard cannot even make 2 classes unique from each other, there's no way they'll make a necromancer class AND make it different from warlock/death knight.
Always love your post's Teriz
Everyone on the internet is a dishonest actor.
Very interesting idea, very good job.
"Let this scar signify the first blow against the mortal world. From this seal shall arise the doom of men,who, in their arrogance, sought to wield our fire as their own.Blindly they build their kingdoms upon stolen knowledge and conceit. Now they shall be consumed by the very flame they sought to control. Let the echoes of doom resound across this wretched world, that all who live may hear them and despair,"-Archimonde
What I think would be useful in every class proposal and what you have not provided would be what your intention for their DPS rotation/priority and healing priority and intended gameplay is.
Just a list of abilities can be cool but not necessarily useful for evaluating the proposal.
Sometimes it seems like people just come up with a list of abilities, rather than considering how they would ideally be used.
This is the first class concept I've ever read. This wouldn't work or would require tons of fine-tuning, conceptual changes before going live but hey was a fun read.
The class idea is great, and I know what I am about to state is purely a personal matter, though I would be quite heavily annoyed if Necromancer became a new class within the game. The sole reason of that is, my draenei Priest, who I have worked oh so hard on to forge his backstory, was a Priest who became one with the Auchenei, and you can only guess where that led him.
He did, however, escape Auchindoun before things got a bit too extreme, and he was left wandering Outland, alone, forced to use his grasp over Necromancy and shadow/void magic to combat the Burning Legion, who he has an unbreakable hatred for. Prior to his fall into the darkness, he was a very powerful Anchorite (draenei Priest), and in returning to his people, seeking to unlock his touch over the light which had become locked to him due to Necromancy, may have been one of the sole reasons he was not executed on the spot, though it came damn well close.
Anyway, my point is, a Priest is the best possible mix between somebody who has a grasp over both the darkness, and the light, and if Necromancer was released as a legitimate class, well... it just wouldn't feel the same in my shoes, you know? Knowing all of those awesome abilities exist out there in that class, though I could not transfer over, as I could not touch on the light side of my character. Aside from that, it would remove the uniqueness of the class from a roleplayer's perspective, and that'd also prove to be an annoyance for me. Just my piece of cake, and I would be fine if they just stuck with Death Knight's to fill the gap up with.
Death knights have one spec revolving around necromancy. Frost and blood's only tie to necromancy seems to be army. I'm all for putting necromancy back into death knights but it's hardly there and besides death knights are more of the product of necromancy rather than necromancers themselves.
Undeath is my favorite thing in warcraft so I am all for necromancers.
DKs are necromancers. Why? DKs raise the dead. Necromancers raise the dead. Necromancers are spellcasters. DKs are spellcasters.
Now, I'm aware that Blizzard has gone out of its way to make DKs less "necromancer-y" by stripping away raise dead from blood and frost for little to no reason, but they still have army of the dead.
I'd be much more for making DKs more like necromancers than making necromancers unto themselves.
Goblins had zero lore with priests and shamans, too...
And there ARE (or at least, were) gnomes in scholomance

Okay, the Paladins are Priests. Why? Paladins use the Light to heal. Priests used the Light to heal.
Okay, Priests are spellcasters. The Paladins are spellcasters (honestly I do not know what idea of "spellcaster" you have, but if a Death Knight is a "spellcaster", then a Paladin also is).
Exactly, we should also make the Paladins more "spiritual", and so we can eliminate the Priest class.
There you are right, if Gnomes can be Priests or the Tauren can be Paladins ... anything can exist thanks to Blizzard!
Paladins smack stuff with hammers as their primary means of attack. Priests shoot shadows at stuff as their primary means of attack.
DKs have a mastery of shadow, necromantic, frost, and blood magics, many of which are manifested into a diverse range of abilities which they use to assault their foes from a range along with their melee attacks, not the least of which is the ability to raise the dead.Okay, Priests are spellcasters. The Paladins are spellcasters (honestly I do not know what idea of "spellcaster" you have, but if a Death Knight is a "spellcaster", then a Paladin also is).
Paladins have what... two spell attacks, that aren't basically them smacking stuff with a hammer?
Shadow paladins don't make much sense.Exactly, we should also make the Paladins more "spiritual", and so we can eliminate the Priest class.

That is just amazing. People that say this is the same as DK and Warlock are just being ignorant. Again , very good work. I really hope this class comes out in WoW some day.
So you mean an Unholy Death Knight but as a spellcaster instead?
