Necromancer next for clothier hero class?

The time would be perfect due to Maldraxxus being explored as a huge factor of Shadowlands balance between covenants.

What does necromancer bring to the table that DK and warlock don’t?

Like how paladin is too close to priest?

A ranged necromancer class would be great.

Necromancers were never a hero in WC3 though. So wouldn’t they just a be a normal class like monks

Creating a new MM class. More involving than the demonology warlock and hunter.

Constructs, Curses, Blood magic.

The idea would be to compliment the demonologist warlock, but to stand apart have all the abilities involving pets revolve around CDs anywhere from ,30sec-2minutes.

It would draw heavily from bith the necromancer and the witch doctor from d3. I know it’s borrowing from your own success, but it’s been toyed with before.

I still want a tinker.

Tinker can come later after they allow the factions to make mobile constructs and/or caravans again. Similar to how Tauren used to migrate on the barrens and plains.

A mobile traps/turrets ability would be essential, so then… tinkers.

It’s going to likely be a Void-user.

D2 necromancer and d3 witch doctors combined? That would be an amazingly fun class to play.

I would enjoy a necromancer class.

Priests and paladins have very distinct differences in the way they’re portrayed, priests being representative of all light based faiths (elune, anshe, the holy light, loa, etc.) and paladins being very specific militant subsets of specific faiths.

Whenever this gets brought up it’s people asking for death knights in cloth. If you have ideas, I’d love to hear them.

Wasn’t DH close to Warlock? I think Necro would be fine, and it’s the #1 requested class in WoW.

If we’re going to add in another class that’s going to share a lot with warlocks, theme wise or gameplay wise, let’s make sure to share this time.

Logic extends to DKs, too.

Panadas we’re the #1 most requested race

As long as it wears mail, sure.

Also need a source for this “most requested class” bit.

Feel like we need another mail and gun/bow class first. An engineer/tinker class where you play in a Goblin Shredder or Gnome Mech would be a good idea here.

Functionally necromancer can be handled just with a suite of appearance altering glyphs for locks.
