Unholy DKs are necromancers.
“ While all Death Knights have some ability to control and reanimate undead minions, an Unholy Death Knight has chosen to specialize necromantic magic”
Thats right from the Blizzard class changes post.
A Necromancer is literally some one who uses magic to communicate with the dead, raise bodies, spirits, etc. Comes from a Greek word that combines the words of “dead body” and “divination.”
None of what makes a necromancer a necromancer requires them to wear cloth armor, they just have to use magic or supernatural abilities to raise the dead.

Unfortunately, it’s quite unrealistic to think a new class wouldn’t be advertised right from the start of a new expansion.
This is the customization expac, we should be getting class customizations too!
Sauron was melee and wore plate. But his armor does fit well with the expansion.
Just like the game doesn’t have necromancer, they have death knights. Same concept different name.
For all intents and purposes Death knights are wows dks.
On top of that you’d have to butcher multiple other classes playstyles and potentially abilities to make it work like:
Affliction warlock
Unholy dk
Shadow priest
Blood dk
Frost dks
Frost mates
Necromancers are not something that should be added as a separate class. Either rework unholy into a ranged spec, make a glyph for warlocks that works similar to green fire (all demons become undead and all curses become diseases), or keep it as is. I could care less which blizzard does.
Nah, Demon Hunter can be Tank/DPS. They also don’t control pets.
Meanwhile, Warlock and Necromancer are fairly similar.
First they take Demonology’s demon transformation back for DH (which was fine with me) and make it a pet swarm spec but now you want to take that away now too?! What would they have left?
Yea…it is rather lore breaking.
Also, they didn’t announce it so there was never a possibility of it happening anyway.
There is nothing a necromancer can do that a DK or a Warlock can’t do. The last thing we need is another class that has to remove abilities from existing classes in order to exist. The most popular thread on most Demon Hunter forums is people requesting a 3rd spec because they find the class shallow. Know why it’s shallow? Because its just a Rogue and a Warlock smashed together. Now you want to smash a Warlock and a DK together?
No thanks.
I really wish there was because they are due for one… Classic got 9 classes, BC none, WOTLK got dk, Cata none, MoP got monk, WoD none, Legion got dh, BFA none. Which means every other expansion so far they have released a new class therefore we should’ve got a new class for Shadowlands.
