User:Patrigan/Class Suggestions:Necromancer

Introduction
This page contains a suggestion for a new class in World of Warcraft. The class discussed here is the Necromancer. I will first give a general overview of the Necromancer. Then I will give a possible lore explanation as to why Necromancers are there, seeing that the Alliance is not a big fan of death. Afterwards I will go into the Spells, first a quick overview and afterwards an indepth idea of when they learn what. Finally I will discuss the 3 talent trees that this class should be recieving.

General Overview
The necromancer is an intrigueing class. He has several interesting points. Some of which are quite obvious, others are not so straightforward. I will attempt to touch each and every single of these points in the creation of this article.

Obviously, the necromancers are shadow users. in that sense, they are very much like the Warlocks. They also use Shadow Bolt as their main Shadow move. The rest of their Shadow spells are not that much equal. Some will also make use of fears and terrors. However, they aren't a big fan of the shadow dots used by the Warlock. The shadow of the Necromancer is more direct. The other side of the Necromancer his shadow is the control of the dead, described below.

Death is one of the trademarks of the Necromancer. He is able to raise the dead, aswell as make the living die. Ofcourse, a "Kill" ability is overpowered, so the class will be reflecting htis ina slightly different way. Death has multiple Schools, Shadow Frost and Nature. The shadow reflects the offensive part. The Frost reflects the cold of being dead, but also the chill you get when facing death. The nature part is the way how Necromancers are capbel of killing everything that lives, including nature itself. Blight is a perfect example of how a necromancer can kill the earth. the most important part of his Death moves are the simple fact that he can control and enslave Undead creatures so they bind to his will. This can create warlock like Summoning or Hunterlike Enslavings or even a mixture of both. Not always, however, do the Raised creatures bind to his will and they will go offensive on the Necromancer himself. This makes the control of the dea da very treacherous business.

The last and perhaps least obvious of the Necromancers 3 main abilities (also his trees) are his Diseases. The Necromancer is a being out to use his powers to make the world dead, because dead things strentghen his powers. These diseases and Poisons are the bane of the living, thus the Necromancers are hated by druids. His nature abilities are very closely aligned with his Death abilities. His many kinds of rots and contagions are the very source of why so many creatures fear the necromancer.

A common misbelief is that Necromancers use demonic powers. This is untrue. The only class capable of controlling Demonic powers are the Warlocks. Not even priests controll demonic powers. This is the sole reason as to why a Warlock should never have a Necromancer as his Hero Class.
