Death is inevitable. What's your speculation of the Necromancer's specs?

[Jekyll]

Mine would be:
Armor: Cloth
Proficiencies : daggers, staves, one handed maces/swords, wands.

Blood
Role : Healer
Mastery: Harvester-
cursed victims will drop blood orbs more frequently and with a higher potency.
The blood necromancer uses blood curses, vampiric magics, and sacrificial rituals to siphon the life force of their enemies in order to heal their allies.


Bones
Role : Ranged dps
Mastery: Weaver-
Each spell cast will increase your minions' damage and longevity
Unholy Necromancer sends out waves of venomous spiders and insects, skeletal minions and haunting spirits as well as other unholy constructs.


Flesh
Role: Tank
Mastery: Sticher -
increases the life points of the bone and flesh stitched armor that absorbed some of the damage they receive.
This Necromancer prefers to salvage parts from their fallen enemies to create damage absorbing meat shield that has its own life points.

[RyudoTFO]

Armor: Cloth
Weapons : daggers, staves, one handed maces, one handed swords, wands


Acolyte: Healer
Mend the flesh with dark magic and absorb the negative status effects on your allies.

Gravekeeper: Damage Dealer
Summon hordes of undead soldiers, to fight by your side.

Plaquebearer: Damage Dealer
Become the host of powerful plaques and crippling diseases, spreading them onto your enemies, to see their flesh melt and bones dissolve slowly.

Its way too late for Necromancer now

[Nnyco]

I feel like death knight already uses way too much necromancy for another class to do basically the same.

Not really. If you think by now that Blizz can't add a necromancer class that uses necromancy and still play different than the DK then you are trying really hard to shut your eyes and ears to that idea. Blizzard can do it. They have already done it since the Necromancers and the Death Knights were put in the game during early development. They got cut out eventually and in the DK's situation, put back in the game.

Yeah because the heavily hinted and totally predictable WoTLK 2.0 emergency button isn’t going to be pressed.

That will be a stretch that even stretch Armstrong would wince at!!

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Races: Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Worgen. Orc, Troll, Blood Elf, Undead.
Armor: Cloth, Mail

I like the dental feel of this.

People said Demon Hunters would never be in game because Warlocks and Rogue took their place. Look where we are now...

[mostvp71]

I just don’t see it, I think we’ll be getting Tinker for next class all signs point to it. I sincerely doubt that Necro will ever be thing due to there being no story or big baddy behind another undead theme expansion, Bolvar is neutral in most situations unless he’s corrupted by an Old God but I don’t think that’d be grounds for an undead expansion let alone give Necros from it.

Either way, I’d rather them fix current class designs than add another class but Tinker seems inevitable at this point.

[Louz]

Sounds interesting, but weren't people speculating we "need" a mail class now?

Not that we "need" it, but it would only make sense, since only two classes wear mail and only two specs in the entire game use ranged weapons.

Mail armor, ranged weapons, edgy death theme... Sounds like Dark Ranger, yes? Unfortunately, it also sounds like another class is elf-only (with maybe humans and forsaken).

Theres a big difference between "oh they got meta already" and literally having already a class focus on life energy necromancy and such.

Right, but then again there's the paladin and the priest. Like I said, people who don't want to open their eyes to this idea will not do it no matter what.

between warlock and dk, necromancer is already covered.

[LilSaihah]

blood - use lots of vampirism to tank
frost - freeze your enemies to death
unholy - diseases and minions



wait a second

[RangerDaz]

Dark Ranger and Tinker have a higher chance of becoming the next hero class rather than Necromancer.

[snackfeat]

Death knight. Never going to happen.

[VladimirM]

Tinker 100%

if tinker becomes spec on live from now to eternity, you are getting my account to do what you please with it.
