I always thought the overlap would be Unholy DK and necromancer, since they both involve magic and raising the dead. Not seeing the overlap with warlock. That overlap was DH, which is why some lock abilities were moved to DH like Metamorphisis.
The problem is that a Necromancer is going to be doing the exact same thing a Warlock is doing now. Simply swap demons for undead.
Mechanically the overlap is Warlocks. Thematically the overlap is Death Knights.
I guess, if by overlap mechanically you simply mean casting with a pet out. If thatâs the case, then hunter is also an overlap with ranged and pets. Frost mage could fit that boat too, water pet.

No, I mean a dark magic caster that summons an army of vile minions, and disabling your target with DoT spells and curses.
Thatâs what traditional Necromancers do. Which is why Blizzard made their necromancer into Death Knights.

Yeah, thatâs why I usually start this argument by saying we already have Unholy DK. Theyâre technically necromancers, except theyâre battle mages instead of casters.

Thatâs a very, very big âexceptâ thoughâŠ
Iâm not bitter, I just find it annoying to see the same delusional requests over and over and over again for many years, by people (not necessarily you, I havenât read the rest of the thread) who resort to personal attacks when someone points out why itâs not going to happen.

Get over it, Karen.

Iâm not wrong. In every tinker thread theyâre elf players crying they should have tinkers because this engineer boss or that engineer boss.
Being an engineer isnât the same as being a tinker
You are straight up trolling.

You can overlap gameplay, or theme, but not both at the same time.

Is it? They even have abilities that can be used at range. Unholy DK run around with a personal army of corpses.
Tinker is the dumbest class Iâve ever heard of, please never make a tinker. Itâs so corny and dumb.
Iâd be fine with any of those tbh. A mechanical class would be especially neat since weâre completely devoid of those.
How is it corny? Especially in a game like wow?

Hereâs some specs for Necromancer
1: LichBorne/Domination
Dps, pet class, caster dps.
Quirks and abilities

Empowered, bonebolt hits additional damage in a cone on the other side of the the target

lich form, a move similar to reckless or avatar you transform into a lich giving you access to frozen armor, frozen bone bot
aura of death, slowly sap the life of all targets in X radius and heal for 10% of the damage dealt is active as an aura.
Use Domination to have your own thrall it can be a fresh corpse or even other player and it keeps the model it serves until death
The mindless thrall then can be used to do other things like, Frosty Explosion
Destroy the thrall causing an explosion of frost to deal X frost damage and slow enemies
Giants hand (stun) A massive skeletal hand reaches out of the ground and graps the enemies locking them in place for X time.

Soul mend (Longer cast heal but heals way more damage)
Soul patch (Dot heal that is empowered the more an enemy takes damage or enemies die in the area)
Link leech (Target an enemy debuff, target ally link their fates together and heal their direct for a part of the damage they deal to the target)

Possession (Enemy) Possess an enemy target, becoming untargetable for 2 seconds, share dots/debuffs with the enemy and deal damage over time youâre inside your target.
Undying, even after death you control your ghost for 5 seconds, during this time you can cast abilities for 60% effectiveness
Dust to Dust: Even when dead you can still cast resurrect on your allies and on yourself?
Graveyard shuffle/grave network: teleport to graveyards
Shadow of death (cheat death, 10m cooldown) an ability that would other wise kill you sends you to the shadowrealm for 3 seconds instead
Graveyard shift: Summon the soul of a hero, the ghost will grant you a buff and or fight for you.
Meh not really. Besides all classes take elements from others. Necromancer tbh should of been added instead of death knights.
