No. There's no such thing as "core of X magic". Especially since BfA showed necromancers using blood rituals/sacrifice and not vampirism.
Why should I have to? Nothing says we must have a WC3 hero as part of the class creation.Cool. Feel free to attach the Bard concept to a WC3 hero as well. Good luck.
Demonstrably false. What Blizzard said is just that they put the ideas they had for the other two classes at the time (runemaster and necromancer) into the death knight class, not that they put the whole necromancer concept into the death knight concept. "Surrounding the concept" means "except the concept itself." If Blizzard really did what you're erroneously claiming they did, then we would not have necromancers in WoW. But we do."Ideas surrounding the Necromancer were put into the Death Knight class" is the same thing as "We put the Necromancer concept in the Death Knight class".
Again, demonstrably false. Blizzard never said "theme". They said "story and setting", which are different things."No class jumped out at us that fit the setting and story of this expansion like Demon Hunters in Legion" is that same as saying "There was no new death class concept that fits the theme of this expansion
It revolves around the afterlife side of death, which is not what the necromancer class is about. The necromancer is about undeath, not the afterlife.which revolves around death.
They did no such thing. At least no more than amplifying "necromancer concepts" within all existing classes. All classes got necromantic abilities, remember?So instead we amplified the necromancer concepts in the existing DK class".
A coincidence that Blizzard has shown they don't give two shits about, considering they completely ignored your "must balance the armor types" arguments with the demon hunter. Not to mention "not having a tri-spec class option" has not been shown to affect the goblin's popularity one iota, especially considering that didn't help the gnomes'.No, but it is quite a coincidence.

In fact, I just wanted to add this: the only reason Frost and Blood death knights summon their ghouls today is because the ability is now off the global cooldown, meaning it doesn't interfere in your rotation, therefore you don't lose DPS by using it.
