The Necromancer Blastbones changes won’t help it like they think it will. The class itself needs an overhaul. First off the flame skull and its morphs. Increase the damage, remove the every third cost effect. The Ricochet Skull can act like Sorcerer’s curse ability where upon its initial damage it causes a an effect that blows the target up causing an AoE. Restructure Blastbones so that it simply summons bone spikes from the ground similar to the Warden’s Scorch ability and it deals ice or disease damage and creates a corpse. Avid Boneyard becomes Chilling Boneyard it causes the chill effect and slows the target. Why activate your own synergy if Harmony is gone? The Shocking Siphon should become Grave Lord’s Cloak and it should act like a normal ability where it costs resources. The base ability creates a AoE effect around you that causes shock damage. Having it slotted gives you major prophecy and savagery. Consuming a corpses increases your damage done by 3%. Its morphs could be Reaper’s Cloak: deals disease damage & once the effect ends you explode causing additional damage. Mystic Cloak: Increases your health, Magic, and stamina recovery by 200. I think these changes would boost necromancers enough that they are on the same level as other classes. I thought about giving them access to stuns, and major sorcery and brutality but felt like they could get them elsewhere. Also, the Blastbones new effect would have a stamina morph & a magic morph. The magic morph would have an execute effect, while the stamina morph debuffs the enemies or something like that. Edit: Chilling Boneyard probably feels like that Ice Shard ability from the Warden kit. So maybe we simply keep the chill effect and introduce minor breach to the ability. Also let’s change Reusable Parts & Death Gleaning: Reusable Parts: Consuming a corpse restores X magic & stamina. - Death Gleaning: instead of getting resources when an enemy dies around you, you heal; removes the need for an ability to be slotted. - just because it would be nice on a werewolf. Why the change to the passives? I feel like consuming corpses are the necromancers crux. Making them gain resources for consuming corpses and healing when people die is very thematic for the class while also helping with sustain even during PvP easier or with survival during both PvE & PvP.

Thank you 😊 finally magsorc is getting the same amount of love and attention that the rest of the classes have been getting for last 9 years

Back in year one it was op, but then all the other classes where getting real attention and mag sorc was nerfed time and time again, it never felt the same. Sure there are builds out there throughout the years like heavy attack and pet builds but running pets realistically wasn't main damage even the sets they came out to buff them where way too bad much like the newest sorc set from archives is really trash. So it's good to see it finally getting some real buffs

Glad to hear the balance to Master Dw, what we really need is defile buffed back to 30% (just defile not major vitality) for pvp.

All very good or decent changes, happy to see them actually tackle underused morphs with completely new ideas. Here's some very small, quality of life changes I would like to see: - Remove 8% stam from Bound Armaments, add Major Savagery/Prophecy for slotting and 1% crit chance per dagger. Makes it hybrid friendly, we don't need +18% stam. - Add Major Breach to Haunting Curse. - Convert all sources of Purple Magic Damage to Shock (Curse, Daedric Tomb, Suppression Field). - Convert all sources of Crystal Magic Damage to Physical (Crystal Frag, Shattering Prison, Rune Cage).

I really like the Nb change. I kinda new in pvp and gank a lot. While I'm farming the sets for Arterial Bursting I'm just running around with Oakensoul, Orders Wrath and Shattered Fate using Conc Weapon to get used to the play style. Really like it, IC event was great. Nice that gets a buff. I might keep that playstyle at least for BG's were people love healing others and I allways get full healed quickly when I'm trying to teach myself running around with 48% hp. I know your build isn designed for BG's but it helps running around there low hp to kinda get used to it.

You’re the 80%. Touts great you’re learning to play the class but you are hitting people with 12k incaps and surviving and you are a noob. You shouldn’t have it that easy. NB is overpowered and easy mode

Finally some real sorc buffs!! Been such a long time coming. Hopefully most of this goes through very close to what they've proposed with only some minor tweaks still needed. Thankfully it seems the attitude towards sorcerers has shifted on the forums (mostly). Seems like lots of people are finally understanding just how bad it got with the class (magsorc especially) over the past couple of years. Still some resistance to these changes, but most of that is from people that, quite frankly, aren't all that reasonable and shouldn't be listened to in the first place. Only real additional change I want to see is bound armor and morphs hybridized and give us major prophecy/savagery while slotted on either bar (they can remove the max stats to give this since those are now on expert summoner) which will help round out crit surge as the class HoT and finally hybridize that piece of sorcs kit.

Great video. I'd love to use Asylum staff but part of the problem with status affects is everyone runs Pain's Refuge. So applying a lot of status effects can sometimes work against you giving them a lot of damage reduction. Also if you want to apply multiple status effects easily, elemental essence is OP and super annoying, it's all over the place in PVP now.

What I want is the weapon skills to interact with class type more so even if speced same as a different class the weapons would act a little more unique to the classes

Necro used to be the pay to win class but now with the new class out, it seems like a really good marketing move to favor that class over something old to push sales on both newer players and older players. However for the ppl who did pay for necro, it's now the pay to lose class as it has been meme'd which makes me incredibly sad. I never liked the necro play style personally but I do use necro for solo play and it's rough in comparison to other classes. It feels like ZoS just slapped their paying customers in the face with that class

While it's still too early to tell, I like the attention sorcerers finally get since anyone who's played this class for longer than 5 hours knows survivability has been rather bad since forever…

I’m pretty sure they specified hardened wars requires a pet for its heal functionality. So, you only get the heal IF no pet shielded shield. The other more states you’re healed regardless of weather or not a pet was shielded. The wordings confusing, but I’m pretty sure hardened wars heal requires a pet.

Mag sorc metal next patch

I think PvE dps sorc is still meh. The damage changes for non-pet sorc don't make up for the damage loss from not having pets. Stam petsorc is still lousy due to the high magicka requirements. But I think PvE tanksorc has gotten a major boost with Encase changes. Not there with a DK or necro but better than before. If they made the minor Brutality/Sorcery buff from Dark Deal a party wide effect then they'd be up there.

Stackable shields already got adjusted and really aren't that big of an issue either.
