ok so i have had a few ideas i would like to post on the three classes i play which is hunter warlock and death knight now as death knight first were in the games was a melee summoner mix and i feel like the necromancer part can come out more and this is how i would like it to show ive put alot of thought into it so here it is for my death knight necromancer
just some basics on how to make it is unholy will be the necromancer tree
ur basic system is going to be intellect u will prob share armour with holy paladins wat will be unique about them will be dw intellect weapons if u want or a staff no shield or off hand u will also become all casting no melee even though u dw it will just be for the stats and i think it would look cool
first thing off would be ur necromancy skills u would always keep a minon but i thought of a better way instead of using the normal ghoul or the glyph for the geist control undead will make a view with this becoming unholy will turn this spell into dominate undead with that it works like a hunters tame but instead of all these different pets there all just model holders u can dominate any undead except maybe a few like liches but they will all keep the same abilities and the spell dark transformation will kinda work like a hunters bestial wrath instead of changing there form they will keep the normal one just glow green or black either or and of course gain the new abilities
next would be ur spells instead of runic power it would convert over to mana but u can keep ur runes ill give a list of spells that change
Icy Touch will stay the same its already a casting
Plague Strike= Plagued Bolt-Does direct damage plus puts blood plague on them
Pestilence is the same except it dont have to be melee range
Mind Freeze would be taken out as strangulate would be ur only choice and Chains of Ice stay the same
Blood Boil will be the same just increased radious
Death Coil= stays the same but is ur base spell Is a 3 sec cast and sudden doom is a chance on hit
Blood Strike= Blood Wrath- same thing in spell form
and ect most spells will use a rune wit some mana some will be just mana like death coil and most attacks that use two runes will convert to mana i didnt wanna type all spells out as im sure u can figure some of them out
also two things i would wanna add out side unholy is to add more of a summor to things like a permanent pet for all three specs
Blood-Blood beast-chance on hit to heal the blood dk-leach-channeled move heals dk-blood implosion-does aoe damage-also any way this creature dies it summons blood worms
Frost-skeletal frost mage-about the same as water elemental just add some undeath moves
