Necromancer Mage Spell?

Ok so I love the idea of Necromancy spell for the mage/wizard (whatever) class. Whats a Necromancer/necromancy? It's basically a person (or ability to) who can communicate with the dead and reanimate them.

So here's my idea: Imagine a scenario if you please, you're grinding some mobs for XP and whatnot, and then suddenly waaay too many mobs surround you. You can moe them down, but it's annoying as heck and they huddle in a bit group to chase after you. Ah-ha but you have your Necromancy spell! Simply attack the highest level mob there (or which ever one you please) and once they are weak enough to take down with one last blow, you use your necromancy spell!

Now not only have you defeated that mob, they'll fight for you! Because you've reanimated them to do your bidding for a short bit! This buys you some time as the mobs now target the one you just used the spell on!

Another successful escape!

So thats my idea, I'd love to hear some other opinions on this! Toodles!

 

While the art is as hell, the idea is really, really lacking

How would this even work? If it's an entire class, you're missing a ton of stuff. If it's replacing a spell for Mage, why? They're all fine, and this spell is pretty weak too.

Coupled with the lack of detail about the spell itself, this idea definitely needs work if you ever want anything to come from it.

 

Heal =\= fine

 

haha

 

Heal needs a nerf, not replacing. It's an essential mage/support-type spell.

you too bloww y'all just need to git gud

/s​

 

Fair point, I'm still fairly new to the game. I'll keep working on this idea, and play around with the mage class until I really get the feel of it and what would be right/wrong.

 

im gonna like this just because the art

 

:D thanks!
Again I'll keep working on this!

 

nah fam, since every mob that attacks, there's a health bar, and any player can hit it.
if you use ur necro spell on a mob, then like meteor or something, you'll kill your own slave.
if you don't use meteor, u can't escape that well. Also which spell do u replace for necro???

 

I like the idea of necromancer but thats should be a class you cant just add mage extra spell for no reason
Also that mechanic is terrible idea since if for example youre using a good build that one shot mobs you cant use it

 

Also mob ai kinda suck

 

Hey pudds
It's nice but..
not now. We have the nerf mage war
also that would have to be fleshed out a lot
(Hey, you commented enough to post images! Sweet!)

 

Couldn't you just convert a boss and then kill it without it fighting back? This seems extremely OP.

Also... how would it be activated? How would it be unlocked? What are the equivalents for other classes? How much mana does it cost? Nice art though.

 

this is an awesome idea good job dude.

 

My sentiments exactly.
