Lets Talk Necromancer!

[KoujiGeki]

OK Guys lets talk Necromancer! A Job OR Class that i think that SE could have real fun in putting in the game. Just like Dark Knights, Necromancers are the other side of the coin on Casting Classes.

A brief lesson on Necromancers if you do not know.
Necromancy (/ˈnɛkrɵˌmænsi/) is a claimed form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.

Necromancer can specialize in also Disease, Poisons, and Decay.

But how would it fit into XIV. Well lets Dive in!

As a Class!
It could have the old Dark Magic spell like Scourge, Drain, Bio Poison and Siphon MP. It could also Have Enfeebling DoT combo like Paralyze with a Umbral DoT dmg. What most people don't know about Nec is that its a Master at life and death. Not just a narrow sight of Death, Necs can also sap their own HP or MP and give to to a Target. BAM Now they can be and awesome support job. Which can bring bake Sacrifice and a new move that works takes away a portion of Necs mp and gives Target MP Tick! (Psst this i think would help Plds out Immensely).

Its Weapon of Choice!?
Can be......Scythe! (Omg i think i can sense the rage about to ensue but here me out please!) I choose this weapon to add to the menacing effect of Necromancer as it seemed in my other Thread that Scythe would be impractical as a melee weapon so ill just give it to Necromancer! And it would free Drk up for Greatsword, BUT back to the point.

PETS!!!!
Now here is where it even out. So unlike Beastmaster and Summoner which i assume will have a barrage of Pets to pick from for any situation. Necs will have 2 types of Undead pets Skeletons which can be the DD/Tank and Ghost which will be the Mage type. That way in fights that way Necs wont be useless if the Boss resists DoT or Enfeebles. Both pets will have the Normal Abilities that their enemy counter parts have.

Now Necromancer can go 2 ways. If Necromancer starts as a Class it be its own thing that it Job can be Lich! But i won't delve into that. Now IF Necromancer was a Job it can branch literally off of either Cnj or Thm. Seeing as Necromancer can be the polar opposite of Cnj or just a deeper darker teaching of Thm. (psst another quick note that Necromancer is actually a branch off of Thm which is blood magic based!)

If its a Job what will the Af look like?
Well have no worries thanks to Final Fantasy 5. Here we have it!



Both male and female Necromancers Af!

I am the kinda person that like to go the way that most would shun in a chance to gain more power! Necromancer would be right up that alley. Please Support if youd like Necromancer to be added Thank you for your time!

NOW SUPPORT YOU FOOLS!!! (ノ'Д')ノ

this is pretty much what a thaumaturge is based on its storyline..it most certainly is not a Miracle Worker nor does its ability's revolve around the manipulation of its surroundings the two things that define thaumaturgy.

While I agree overall, I just think it should be a job for THM.

Otherwise, /signed!

Considering they seem to have ditched how Thaumaturg was the whole Light / Darkness class I see the gap it could fill. But SE has always been iffy with the class they were erring on it with XI but decided against it in favor of puppetmaster.

I would be in support of it, always wanted to be a Necromancer in a MMO ever sense Ultima Online.
