For a healing/raising LB it's quite funny XD

Visually speaking yes it would be gorgeous !!!

I would love something like "Soul gatherer" or "Cup of life" as name to say that the Necromancer would spread his power to bring back dead

For the LB they could even utilize the effects from the Mega Death spell that Forgall casts. Maybe a few skeleton themed items as well.

I would LOVE this idea. Love love love darker themed jobs, especially in the Final Fantasy universe.

The ideas proposed in here are actually a lot better than I expected when I clicked on a Necromancer thread. Would definitely be interested in playing something like it.

I would love to see a Necro in this game i feel like your idea would work very well. or replace summoner XD

I like your general idea, though as someone else said, I think some of your skillset would need revising.

the immediate thing that came to mind is that all of your healing comes from damaging the enemy... so if the boss goes untargetable or invulnerable... welp
in a8s there are phases where the bosses can't be targeted at all but the raid runs about doing mechanics (and taking massive damage). you'd have no way of healing through something like this

I don't know if it would be any more viable, but perhaps Necro could have standard spot and aoe heals, but, like Darkside, not naturally regenerate MP, and it has to recover MP by damaging the boss. The idea being you'd have to balance doing enough damage to keep your MP up, so you have enough to actually heal.
Perhaps an emergency CD where you steal some/all the MP from a teammate

Mp stealing skill
Good on physical dps but not much mana to steal
Horrible on healer if miss-clic

Could be easy on Blm illimited source
Except if done in burst enochian

Would work best if damage dealt is converted to a percentage of MP rather than a direct MP drain. Similar to Blood Weapon on DRK, but on a larger scale.

yeah was only an idea of the top of my head, thinking to use on one of your team who don't use MP, but then again I didn't think about the possible trolling aspect. as fun as it would be to run in and snatch all the whm's MP, in DF I think people might get mad quick lmao
