    Class Request: Necromancer

    There have been many threads about pet classes. Although Summoner is nice, I have no fond memories of it from FF11.

    On the other hand, the Necromancer class from AoC was the only thing that kept me interested in that game, because it was implemented so well.

    I would love to see a Necromancer or some other type of pet class added to FFXIV that allowed you to have *multiple* pets simultaneously. You could have 8 pets in AoC which was just right.

    It would be thrilling to see my tar-Lalafell running around with 8 Life Stealers.

    Thx

    I could quite especially see Necromancy being a Job for THM, some of the quests suggest that THM can summon and manipulate the dead.

    Would definately like to see them add this class when they add the pet system.

    Why'd you make two threads?

    Regardless, replacing summoner with necromancer isn't gonna happen. I, and a very great deal of other people wouldn't want it.

    Can't say I'm interested in Necromancer at all for this game really. There's just no "dark" feel to it

    I was just using the AoC Necromancer as an example of a class that could summon and keep 8 pets without a timer on the pets expiring.

    They could implement summoner and allow us to summon multiple instances (or multiple primals). That would be interesting.

    What I would like to see is perhaps they create a job that is a single pet class to satisfy folks who want that, and then create a class that has multiple pets to satisfy those of us who enjoy having a mini-army.

    * I made a thread in the suggestions forum because I realized thats where suggestions go - but I wanted to have some useful discussion about it, and this forum is typically visited more frequently.

    They're not going to implement Summoner. Yoshi-P doesn't like the idea of there being multiples of a primal and them not being extremely strong. Summoning will be a one-shot deal you earn every time you kill a primal, though to be honest, I don't like that idea either as it'll easily wreck PVE balance.

    Necromancer is a class with lots of fun design space, however, it doesn't have a FFXI history, so it's less likely to be added. Also, these class request threads are way premature. You won't be seeing any classes that haven't already been announced/planned until after 2.0 if even then.

    no Yoshi said summon primals is going to be different than summoning other creatures.
    he specifically not only said there will be a summoner class that can summon carbuncle but that he himself wants to be summoner.

    So there will be a summoner class that uses Carbuncle only? Seems like a pretty damn weak idea to me.

    SMN is already confirmed via one of his latest interviews so GG there @ reading. Secondly Necro doesn't fit the whole FF style but I love it in GW/GW2 so I would not be 100% opposed to having it. I just don't think it's gonna happen XD

    ^ This is a pet class. I would love to see this in XIV. It would add a new dimension for sure and make summoner / single summon seem fairly antiquated (which it feels like to me)
