They did. Frost and Blood are actually the specs that don’t fit the fantasy of DK as much as Unholy does. But I like them.
Disagree, no they didn’t. I’m an old school OG RP gamer. Necromancers don’t wear plate armor. All the extra explanations are 
imo. Unholy, Frost & Blood are branches of power in the DK tree. Necromancy contributed to the creation of DKs, DKs didn’t replace them. Same ppl saying the same type of stuff on why we wouldn’t get another spellcasting class and now we have Evokers. Not to mention Blizzard putting out a survey on what the next class should be, it’s probably gonna be Necromancer, like it or not, especially because that’s probably the most asked for class by the community and only lore heavy class mentioned but not in game. We have a dungeon (Necro school) and raid (Necropolis) around “Necromancers” kind of weird we can’t play one.
That was literally fake. I can’t believe how so many people believed in that.
For Blizzard to ever release a Necromancer class they would have to make an expansion where the class fits in the lore. When did they ever release a class that was not related to the expansion itself? Never. DK, Monk, DH, Evoker. If they were to release something like Necromancer they would have done it in Shadowlands.
Your understanding of necromancer is stereotypical and wrong. Poor explanation. Tolkien, the father of fantasy, called Sauron a Necromancer. Did Sauron wear cloth and casted spells with a staff? No, he wore plate and used a 2H mace as a weapon. UHDK is a necromancer, you like it or not. I agree it’s not like Kel’thuzad (which is officially a lich), but necromancer is not limited to wearing cloth and using a staff.
Watch Midnight and The Last Titan coming in the next years and the class you’re talking about won’t come in any of these expansions.
They did make playable necromancers. Death Knights are necromancers. Liches are necromancers. The Lich King was a necromancer. We can play as Death Knights.
There are like 3-4 people asking for necromancer and the rest are asking how you separate the necromancer from DK and Demo… which there is no answer.
I really dont know why they are sending out surveys for another class when they have their work cut out for them with what they have currently.
play long enough and everyone recognizes your main, sometimes you just want to play and chill without everyone knowing its you in that game.
I think it’s ultimately up to the creative developers (Blizzard) to parse the difference between a DK and a Necromancer. Knowing them, they won’t.
HoMM3 has a good example of this.
They said there is too many overlaps. They know the difference and there isnt enough of one to warrant the development of a new class. Plus there is Demonology so its not just the difference between DK and Necromancer but Demo and Necromancer. If going to disease route then you have affliction, blood healer by siphoning blood from an enemy to heal your team is basically just disc. Everything people have suggested is covered right now.
I think if people are going to make a suggestion then they should have an idea what they are looking for, otherwise why bother trying to bring into fruition when you have no idea what the person is wanting. Its like calling up a bakery and just saying “make me a cake” and then saying “they make the cakes, they should know what im looking for in a cake”. Then you get a chocolate peanut butter cake and your allergic to peanuts then blame the bakery for making you an unspecified cake.
What exactly are people looking for when it comes to a necromancer? Diseases? Undead? Having an army of summons? All of those are represented in terms of gameplay.
Such an odd thing, perhaps you are just too social in the game.
how is it odd?
