Class Request: Necromancer

[Raagnar]

You could have more then 8 pets in AoC, a lot more. With FF servers the way they are this can never happen. For those that did play aoc... remember being around a couple lvl 80 necros with all their pets out? lag out even high end PCs. I would much rather have 1 strong pet then 16 little ones, especially when you get multiple necros in the area.

And just because necro was a crappy job in ff5 and mentioned in a few others doesnt make it staple FF material. Doesnt matter if they were in old ones or not, traditional necromancers do NOT fit in FFXIV. The same way RPers roleplaying they were raped do not fit in the world of eorzea(there are ppl who do this). Thats not to say they couldnt make it work, THM have a strong respect for the dead, if anything they would want to destroy undead. So you would have to be a renegade THM to want the dead as slaves.

What makes them crappy?

WTH are you talking about roleplayers for? They purchased the disc the same as you, they are entittled to play how they like.

Necromancers were in more then one FF game. Why would they have to be THM related? They can add any lore the desire. That doesn't go to say making it a job of THM wouldn't be a bad idea in the future, as it would work right into the existing lore easily.

i have to ask this, because you seem like a smart guy.

Why would rape... not fit into Eorzea? i mean, rape is terrible, horrible, traumatic. but do you believe that just because it isn't DIRECTLY mentioned (and it is hinted at) that rape does not occur in Eorzea? a world about to enter a new age of darkness where people's stresses are high and are constantly under siege from beast tribes and the garlean empire?

I'd say it would likely be an unfortunately common event.


As for necromancer. Do want, forbidden magic would be one of the perfect ways to get through an age of darkness, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Much like Summoning Fenrir did for the Crystal War, or becoming Odin's vessel for eternal life (till he needs you that is.)
