Those aren’t playable though. Previous to the scourge DKs were humans with the souls of orcs yeah but that’s a very different thing to the WoW Class.
Draenei actually.
It’s a pretty weak hook tbh. Especially with how WoD turned out.

I’m sure they try a lot of different ideas throughout development. Why do people need a source for something that never came to frution and has been circling throughout the community and RPGs since forever?

Sorry, I need proof they ever thought of it.”

Most important to the fantasy is ranged magic, and frail/weak clothie. All of that is part of, vital to the fantasy. If you change that it is no longer a necromancer. A mage wouldn’t be a mage if you gave them plate mail and a sword.
Not that I like repeating what some already stated.
But Necromancer class missed the boat when they decided the Death Knight. I would advice request for more glyphs in game to allow for customization.
Warlock would be a more ideal candidate if you ask me for those glyph since their spells can be compared to Necromancer. And perhaps changing demon pet to a skeleton or something like that.
Mages can change their pets with glyphs, so why not warlock?
Aliens don’t count, go away ):<
lol how would it hurt you? it wouldn’t. You don’t have to play it. DK will still be here. DH didn’t ruin warlock.
Lol glyphs… That’s a good one. They’re another abandoned feature.
You guys realize that Necromancer’s in WoW are literally almost always literally pure evil. I don’t think there has even been a single necromancer that has been good. If the DKs are considered bad. Necromancers are on a whole different level with most of them getting wiped out due to almost all of them serving the lich king to get their powers.
so if i teach you a little bit about medication, healing and whatever…does that make you a medic? no
its the same thing about the necromancer

Arthas required multiple artifacts to have that power. It’s really not comparable to the run of the mill unholy DK.
Unholy DKs are more about spreading diseases around and summoning a few undead minions, they aren’t about having a consistent large amount of undead minions doing their bidding.

Still more realistic then asking for Necromancer class or preaching datamine over modern models that uses the same amount of polygons as the Player Character.
Actually, how much older are the Draenei compared to trolls? I don’t actually know, to be honest.
All that needs to be done to dismiss this whole argument is to look up the definition of “necromancer”. I already did but cant post links
Draenei is the oldest playable race. Their oldest lore is 20 000 years ago.
Sure, most people would say fantasy monks don’t wear tight leather, summon nature gods and use the powers of Beer either, but here we are. Druids aren’t always shapeshifters, demon hunters vary but are usually ranged and use steam punk weapons. WoW classes aren’t exactly like other classic fantasy.
Here’s the thing, necromancers were going to be playable in WOTLK, then blizz thought DK was cooler and whatever design they had they put it into unholy. So pretty much even in game design they are what necromancers were meant to be.
They did a trial with the new Belves eyes, nelves eyes and orcs backs. That was all the proof they needed. People loved it, it’s clearly stronger than a new race.
Except unholy DKs don’t just know “a little” they can ltierally summon an army of undead. They were the the champions wielding the most powerful necromancy tool in legion for a reason.
You an alien too.

Orcs are aliens too tho
Yeah, but aren’t trolls also ancient? I know they’re at least 10k+ as a race, since night elves evolved from them, and trolls are one of the oldest races on Azeroth, period.
Because its abilities are both in unholy and affliction lock thus no real reason to have one less its another mail range class but to be honest theres little to differentiate it from those said specs without removing identity to those 2 said specs. I honestly dont ever see it happening
It doesn’t matter. Necromancers are literally too evil to be added as a class.
