Vampirism

i would love a necromancer class maybe with a scepter as a weapon. anyways wat exactly would be the diff between a necromancer and Black mage doesnt the Black mage use the Void as a energy source. so basicaly Black mages can do necromancy right? i havent done the black mage quest for a long time but wasnt there a coven of them in the far east of necromancers(Black mages playing with the dead). even the THM guild leader sed something about "he was scared of i woulnt make it and he might have to use Necromatic ways" or something to that nature.

BTW please Square give me Necro lol i wana play with the dead

Supposedly it exists in Ul'dah as a secret, highly forbidden, form of Thaumaturgy/Black Magic. In 1.0's Ul'dah story line you actually see the Echo memory of the then Goldsmith Guild Master being "Killed" (Turned out to me much worse than death) for attempting to bring back Ascila's (Aka Minfillia's) father from the grave. No one really knows how, why, or by whom the attempt at necromancy was thwarted but the result was the same. Niellefresne is now in an eternal slumber even beyond the grace of death. Not dead but not truly alive either.

We really need Void Sorcerer/Necromancer as the new healer class for the next expansion

I thought the closest thing we have to a vampire is the Dark Knight. I might have to play DRK more, just to be sure.

Dark Knight does have some vampirism going on.

Syphon Strike sucks MP and Souleater sucks health.

Blood Weapon turns us temporarily into MP vampires. Dark Arts Abyssal Drain sucks out health from everyone it hits. Sole Survivor gives us HP and MP if the marked enemy dies quick enough. Not sure if Blood Price counts, I always considered it more along the lines of fueling yourself through pain than draining it from others.

... but remember, Dark Knights use dark arts and are shunned for it. Any straight-up vampires or necromancers need to keep on the DL even if they're heroic.
