    We allready have warlocks. There will be no necromancers, jedis, bounty hunters in wow.

    Using death to heal doesn't make sense thematically. How does killing something help it live? Also nature healing/damage is already druid or even shaman to an extent so this doesn't differentiate it really from either of those. Its essentially just adding bloat by just adding a cosmetics class.

    We already have a Necromantic class. Its called a Death Knight.

    If you're talking about me, then don't worry, I'm done talking about Necromancers. IMO, Shadowlands closed the door on the possibility of that class ever appearing in WoW. And besides, we have Death Knights already.

    that is both reaching and bait.
    Anemo: traveler, Sucrose
    Pyro: Yanfei, Amber, diluc, xiangling, thoma, Xinyan, Bennett
    Geo: Noelle, Ningguang, Yun Jin, Gorou
    Hydro: Barbara, Zingqiu, Ayato

    Electro: Fischl, Lisa, Miko, Kujou, Raiden, Razor

    I hope we do get Necromancers in WoW so everyone screaming that 'we already have the classes warlocks and death knights' can shut up. Blizzards shitty ass version of necromancer (Death Knight) is nothing like the real thing.
    Be careful who you chat it up with here on these forums. If you are NOT for WoW and about WoW, people will report whatever you say and get you banned

    i doubt it will happen. Blizzard has already called the death knights the necromancer class and shadowlands might be the last death themed expansion.

    Any hope for a Necromancer anytime within the next 10 years died when they were absent from the expansion where we go to the literal afterlife.

    This thread was a great idea.

    Honestly, this is a great find. I also ate some pizza today and this event confirmed that Tinkers will happen in WoW. Confused? Let me explain:

    Pizza is made from dough, marinara sauce, cheese and various toppings. One of the toppings on the pizza I ate was pepperoni. The word pepperoni has four syllables. Syllables... this word contains the first three letters of Sylvanas' name. Sylvanus hates Mechagnomes and wants to punt them into The Maw. (I mean, can you blame her?) The Maw is where all souls go to die (or something, I skipped all the cinematics because I'm way too good at this game to care about its story). Mechagnomes, however, do not have souls because they're mechanical Gnomes (and Gnomes don't have souls anyway). Therefore, the only thing you can possibly conclude is that Sylvanus is punting Gnomes ad infinitum into The Maw and thus this massive influx of soulless beings can only possibly be tempered by the introduction of the Tinker class sometime in 9.1 or beyond.

    Checkmate, atheists.

    Then I am sad for sure. I have always hoped for a cloth wear caster necromancer class. The way they are suppose to be.

    Except there's no 'hard rule' on necromancers. Depending on the fiction/brand, sometimes they're portrayed as casters, sometimes they're armored, towering juggernauts that happen to reanimate and control the dead. Sometimes they're regular townsfolk with a dark secret. There's no correct singular portrayal of them.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
