Ritualist > Necromancer Class Idea

[MartaDemireux]

So I still don't see it being allowed as a Discipline learned by adventurers.

Spoilers:

The ALC guild questline in Ul'dah actually has you attempting and succeeding at bringing a dead loved one back to life but it's only temporary and she succumbs to death anyway.

So while the game's lore does state that it is a terrible practice and should never be done, it has been done and is being done with our players actively involved to pursue it in certain circumstances.

The guild itself couldn't be in a city-state on our little island (and therefor not selectable at character creation) but it could be on another continent - somewhere Eorzea's "laws" don't persist.

Otherwise it does sound painfully busy to me and if I'm reading it right, the Opus buffs/debuffs can be placed on a party member? Not sure it's good to include a system that can lower someone's DPS.

I had actually thought about the idea of this being a class/job from another country for an expansion. >w>

As for the Opus, they only buff/debuff a party member that you put the Draugr buff on and your pets. The idea is to grab a DPS and use the correct Opus on them. For Melee and Bard, you use Beserker (now named Reaver) to boost their Strength and Dexterity and for Magic, you use Magus to increase their Intelligence. Sentinel is there for when you need to beef them up like to protect against a big attack, when you're soloing and need a beefy pet, or if for some reason you placed Draugr on a tank and want to beef them out like a pseudo-cooldown.
The way I designed the Opus was that I wanted the Necromancer to be able to support their Draugr's type of gameplay (Melee vs Magic) but with a cost so that it didn't make it okay for people to die all willy-nilly just to min-max with a buff. Maybe I could just remove the debuffing and retune the buffing.
