Job Idea: Necromancer

*Please note, this was designed for fun and I do NOT expect SE to implement this in any way, shape, or form.*

Necromancer (NEC)
Off-Healer with DPSing Pets
Weapon: Scythe
Attack Type: Mid-range, Slash attack
Armor: Caster
Limit Break: Danse Macabre (Healer)
Cross Class: Conjurer and Arcanist
Important Stats: Intelligence for Damaging and Healing, MP for cost

Summoning the dead and using the blood of their enemies, Necromancers are masters of both life and death.
While their healing spells appear weak at first glance, once they activate their ability Dark Blessing, they double their healing spells' potency, while weakening their offensive power (but not their pets'). Additionally, several of their oGCD healing abilities focus on healing a percentage of health.
While lacking in AoE heals, they can use the ability Neither Mantra to turn two of their healing abilities, Dark Pity and Impiety, into AoEs. They can also do the same with their DoTs and Shadow spell via Evil Mist.

Special Mechanics and Skills

Bloodlust
While damaging enemies, the Necromancer will collect their blood to use in a variety of ways as Bloodlust. Bloodlust starts at 0 and is full at 100.

Skeleton
Necromancers can summon the undead as pets to fight their enemies.
As opposed to Arcanist, Summoners, Scholars, and Machanists, Necromancers can have a hoard of Skeletons out at once.
Comparatively, Skeletons only hit for about 1/3 the damage of other pets and can only take 1/3 of the damage.
Starting out, a Necromancer can only have one Skeletons at a time but can summon up to three, once they gain the proper Traits via leveling.
Skeletons share one spot on the user's Partymember list and share an HP bar. When one Skeleton reaches 0 on their own HP bar (which will be above their head), the collective Skeletons' HP bar will lower.
All Skeletons are considered as one unit and any healing effects (singular or AoE) will only effect their Shared HP Bar and will be dispersed evenly amongst their separate HP bars.
When commanded to use a skill, all Skeletons will preform that skill on the selected target. Skeletons will only use Hell Touch unless commanded otherwise.

Samurai, Geomancer and Chemist I think will be added next.

This job sounds like an overpowered lagfest. With 5 skeletons you're proactically a full party unto yourself. Healing 5% of your entire party's HP automatically every time they hit is insane. Your bloodlust would almost always be capped, since 5 pets = 25/100 points eevery couple of seconds. Add to the fact that your main character is getting +1 every auto attack, and +1 per tick from each of their DoTs... Honestly, there doesn't seem to be a reason for bloodlust at all at that point. Just make all of your heals free. /shrug Sure, it costs 50 for one of your special heals (Why does it cost bloodlust points to heal? Shouldn't that be for damage attacks?), but it's so easy to obtain, you'll be able to cast spells constantly with no penalties at higher levels.

Also, um... INT for healing and damage? So they've got this massive power, an army of basically immortal soldiers, and they gain the advantage of using their INT to cure and damage foes without having to change stances? It seems liek the ultimate solo job, but parties would be a mess. You wouldn't need any tanks or healers. You could get 4 Necromancers together and have 20% HP regen every 2 seconds.

When coming up with the idea for the pets, I thought one individual Skeleton would be about 1/5 the strength and defense of an Emerald Carbuncle.
Do you think maybe limiting the number of pets to two or three would be a better idea? >o>
Additionally, Vampyrs only heals for 1% but maybe I'll lower it to 0.5%.

Bloodlust
Really? >o>
I was worried that people would say there wasn't enough ways of gaining Bloodlust or a fast way to gain it. >w>()
Maybe I'll remove the gaining effect from some of the DoT and remove its Auto-attacks then.

INT and Dark Blessing
I went with INT versus MND because I wanted to both differentiate it from the other healers and to show that while it is a healer, it specializes in off-healing, healing only when it needs to then switching back to DPS. I also thought that giving it caster gear was more thematically fitting.
The idea is that its core healing spells are halved until you switch to Dark Blessing, versus with the other healers, where their DPS skills are extremely gimped until they use Cleric Stance.
Maybe I'll add more restrictions on Dark Blessing and its effect on certain spells and abilities to balance it out.

It will not be added ever in this game. It will get banned straight away from China due to their strict regulations on displaying "death" "skeletons" and stuff like this. The game there is already altered in many ways. Devs won't make a whole job only to get it banned in one big market. Plus I don't think it fits very well in this game's Lore. Nothing good ever comes from summoning the dead.

I like the idea, and actually toyed with the idea of a necromancer job as a healer. The way its described, with some tweaking as is being discussed now, could be a really fun job to play!

Necromancer class won't be added due to Summoner and Scholar existing. And Summoner pretty much is a Necromancer.

There are other Lore-related reasons, mostly being that raising the dead is considered profane and anyone who practices it is pretty much hunted down and killed.

What's the Dark Knight's excuse with channeling the power of the Abyss and Summoners conjuring familiars/entering trances of dead Primals? And it's very clear the Mhachi are Black Mages. And the BLM in the 60 Job quest summoned a Chimera subspecies known as the Barghest but was too weak to control it.

Edit: Oh I forgot. Hildibrand and the Zombie brigade plus Lore reasons dictates the Au Ra origin was from procreation between Hyur and Voidsent. Pfffft on your Lore.

Edits

General
- Players can no longer gain Bloodlust from their or their pets' Auto-attacks.

Pets
- Players can now only have up to two Skeletons once they get Skull Rite I and three when they get Skull Rite II.
- Better defined how Skeletons work as a unit versus individuals.
- Increased Hell touches potency from 30 to 50 per Skeleton.

Healing
- Dark Blessing now effects both the user and their pets healing and damaging potency. Additionally, its recast has increased from 5 seconds to 10.
- Vampyrs was decreased from healing 1% to 0.5% of partymembers maximum HP. Additionally, it can only be used while under Dark Blessing and players cannot switch out of Dark Blessing while under its affect.
- Bloodmist can now only be used while under Dark Blessing.

DPS
- Scourge and Shadow now increase Bloodlust by 10.
- Scourge II now used 20 Bloodlust.
- Damnation can now only be used under Dark Blessing.
- All DoTs, besides Curse and Hex, no longer increase Bloodlust.

I'd be ok with this if our job trainer was a certain person... still waiting for that happy ending SE.

Necromancer is one of the funnest classes in Everquest I/II, and is an amazing class idea concept and plays very fun and well. However, due to the rest of the worst seemingly hating the things. (Aka: They cannot handle seeing skeletons in video games.) they do and will not play the game, or even tell their government not to play it.

I also don't think it would fit the "Hero" role the game throws you in. Less its 4.0+ only and the story takes a darker turn for you.

The idea of this is that instead of having one stronger summon, you have three weaker minions. Additionally, the Skeletons need a little more control because they only use one ability when left on auto.
I also think that maybe if this stuck with a undead-and-dark-theme, while SMN and SCH with a more biological-and-mystic-theme, it could pan out. >w>
Plus, it would match your name better. :-D

Magius kind of said all the good points here...
Dark Knights use the power of darkness, Summoners are using the power of primals, Black Mages power originated from Mhachi, who gained all their Black Magic knowledge from voidsent.

Would love a Necromancer class to be added, but I'd rather it be DPS focused. Things such as:

- Mostly pet focused, where majority of damage comes from pets (unlike SMN)
- Have the ability to conjure a weak pet prior to killing anything, as you kill things you gain stacks which allow you to either buff your pet or unlock stronger pets
- Have the resource in which you use to do (or increase) damage be your hitpoints, making VIT very viable for the job in addition to INT
- Have an ability to regenerate some HP through a drain attack (like e-drain but for HP not MP)
- Have the ability to sacrifice a pet to gain HP

As long as I can amass an army of skeletons to lag the crap out of friends, this sounds like fun. The days of D2 and having at least one Necro in the party spec'd for skeletons was like watching a slideshow (of awesome).

Okay, let's look at this point by point:

1.) What's the Dark Knight's excuse with channeling the power of the Abyss

Dark Knight doesn't have an excuse for this, and if you've done the Dark Knight quest line from 30-50 you would realize from reading all of the text there that Dark Knight are actually looked upon as dangerous and unsavory. The point of fact is that in Ishgard the Dark Knights are actually publicly decried and often times hunted down and killed (like Frey was). They are sometimes grudgingly allowed to operate because they do serve some purpose in rooting out unsavory elements in the Holy See. However, most of these operations are not officially condoned by the government and a Dark Knight that oversteps their bounds will be hunted and killed.

2.) Summoners conjuring familiars/entering trances of dead Primals?

Let's get this straight.... Primals can not die. Primals are not living beings. They are aether manifestations of a common will which wishes them into existence utilizing the power of crystals. Primals, themselves, are simply constructs conjured by the imaginations of the people that pray to them and their living will gives them the forms they have. If a Primal loses all of its followers, that Primal ceases to exist. It does not die, it simply stops being. This is why Primals attempt to do things like 'Temper' or 'Drown' living souls to force them into worshiping them so that they can continue to exist. Summoners are not utilizing the power of 'dead primals', they take trace amounts of the Primal energy left from their encounter and use that to summon a baser form of the primal.

3.) And it's very clear the Mhachi are Black Mages. And the BLM in the 60 Job quest summoned a Chimera subspecies known as the Barghest but was too weak to control it.

The Mhachi are indeed Black Mages, and the BLM did summon a Barghest. Also, in the SMN quest you deal with reanimated corpses. Yes, these thing are all things that are practically possible using Black Magic and Voidsent. That being said, because it's technically possible does not mean it is accepted or acceptable practice. In both cases the arts that were being practed are Forbidden Arts, and both times they were dealt with extremely harshly.

4.) Hildibrand and the Zombie brigade plus Lore reasons dictates the Au Ra origin was from procreation between Hyur and Voidsent.

The Zombie Brigade here is handled rather delicately. Simply put, yeah... zombies exist, however they're not accepted into common society. The Zombie Brigade is an elaborate exaggeration and all in told a massive joke about the whole situation in general (as most of the Hildibrand line is meant to be). As for the Au-Ra... No. The Au-Ra are much, much more likely to be the offspring of Hyur and Dragons. This is pretty much the current running conception given what we have learned about the races and their interactions with dragons through the storyline presented in Heavensward. They are not originated from Hyurs and Voidsent. Voidsent are the antithesis of life and the combination of life from this world and voidsent inherently produces abominations such as the Succubi.

So, all in all.... Nercomancers are not something that the Warrior of Light is likely ever to become. In the standard lore, Necromancy is considered to be a pervserion of the dead in all its forms (even the Zombie Brigade isn't looked upon in a good light for most of the time) and as-such is met with staunch resistance and nearly every time a civilization has turned to it that civilization has fallen, i.e.: Mhiachi, Belah'dia.

Lore reasons. In the WHM storyline you encounter a would-be necromancer. The products and byproducts of necromancy poison the lifestream and the effects are felt miles away by the Gridanian elementals. Being a necromancer as a player is about as shady as trying to justify FCs summoning primals. Doesn't make much sense in the lore scheme for the Warrior of Light to walk around poisoning the land and disrespecting the dead.

Can't get behind it. Just doesn't sound like it would fit in very well with the setting.

As well as the actual Au Ra information referring to a Dawn Father and Dusk Mother. As well as Au Ri containing traits not found in draconic races. So yes it's rather implied that Hyur or another race consorted with Voidsent. How or why is unclear.

The only real part of the Au Ra that is Dragon is the concept template they used for the female but it's still more Voidsent in nature. Even the devs refer the Au Ra in likeness to Demons rather then Dragons.

Why is it so hard to accept that Au Ra have no more connection to Dragons and void sent than Miqo'te do to Couruls?

Let's not forget that Dragons were concerned to reproduce asexually and Voidsent consume Aether to the point of killing and devouring different beings in order to consume THEIR Aether.

TL:dr Dragons don't need mates and Voidsent would sooner eat you than look at you. And if Au Ra are half Dragon half man, than Miqo'te are the decendents of Myracidian Cat [Kupo]ers.

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. There are at least six civilizations that preceeded us in the current era, if not more.

If I remember my lore correctly, the field of death and the dead fall within the duties of the Thaumaturge. That's why the guild runs a burial chamber. One of the guildmasters even references necromantic divination in one of the early class quests.

If a necro could shape shift into something like http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130327055500 I'd play it =)

I would like to see another dps caster.

No new Jobs until we get Red Mage... Seriously...

Combine Bravely Seconds Fencer and Wizard and you've got the perfect hybrid... Blazing Wolf stance > Frost + Hammer, and so on. Hey, FFXIVs Arcanist (well, Summoner) was seemingly partly based on/inspired Bravely Defaults Arcanist (which essentially had Fester), so I can hope, right? Fencer already functions similar to Monk (Wolf Fang will take you from Wolf stance to Aurochs, for example) and Spellcraft could function similarly to Ninjutsu in how they change the effect of another ability (hitting Ten turns Mudra into Fuma Shurikan, for example. Hitting Hammer would turn Frost into physical ice damage, while hitting Mist would turn it into a DoT spell). Arguable not point in having Heat/Frost/Lightning when XIV has no elemental wheel to take advantage of, but the Fencer side of things could always apply a debuff to replicate the elemental wheel, or the spells themselves could; Open with Frost, then use Heat to melt producing water ready to hit the enemy with Lightning.

If 4.0 gives us anything but Red Mage, Blue Mage, and Samurai, I'm going to scream...

Sorry but I'd much rather have Geomancer >.< It's nice how much thought you put into it though. I feel Necro doesn't fit this world. It even edgier than dank knight, maybe. What could work is like a Necromancer that summons creatures from the void, like some of the NPCs ive seen do it. I know there's at least 2 leve quest targets that summon voidsent things. Would be cool :D

This sounds hilarious

i think in every FF world necromancy is forbidden , and even then....when asked about it in FFXI times , SE told players that necro wouldnt be viable becaus necro can only summon at night ...and whatnot , we got puppetmaster tho (that it was fun on its own a bit frustrating when overload D:)

what we really need is Beastmaster , dual axes or ranged weapon (whip?)

In order to keep in with the lore and theme of the game, I must insist that my bikini-clad tank not be met in with the presence of a lowly necromancer.

Needs more synergy with Dragoon, as they are the job most familiar with death.

Nahh I don't want another pet job how about a healer that can use death spells to absorb HP from the boss to heal people
