Regon Phoenix.8215 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Quick description of the elite: Something which would require maybe the most tactical gameplay compared to all other class. This elite could have very great battle mobility and surprise effective burst damage, especially when combined with help of other players. While it does not have sustain of Reaper or Scourge, it still have ways to deal with damage, especially ranged damage. This Elite would use basic Shroud, though, its use of Shroud most likely would differ quite a bit to Core necromancer's use of Shroud. This elite would play around lots of combos with its own combo fields and combo fields of allies, and it can maneuver through out battle field a little bit like Thief. While slower than other Rifle users, this Elites have good damage and it have the most important thing necromancer lacks - mobility. > **Adept Minor Trait** > You now can use **Rifle** and allow you to use **Paradox** abilities. > Grant you new F2 ability. > > _Adept Major Trait Line_ > **Major Trait 1** > Switching places with your F2 shadow version will also cleanse all movement affecting conditions from you. > **Major Trait 2** > Scoring a critical hit on enemy will inflict cripple on them for 2 seconds.

Anchoku.8142 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 It looks nicely detailed and thought out. Some aspects may be problematic but may be fixed with scaling numbers. What are your thoughts on LF generation by enemy deaths at 1200 range? Regarding the Mesmer and Thief or Engi-like skills, do you think there is a space for Necro to have them?

Well, necro do have staff and staff's range is 1200. So, it should be okay. > @"Anchoku.8142" said: > Regarding the Mesmer and Thief or Engi-like skills, do you think there is a space for Necro to have them? Engineer? You mean Reanimator who melds technology and necromancy? Thief? You mean Grave Robber who collects and use necromantic artifacts of the old? Mesmer? Sounds something like a Ghost Lord who use life force of his fallen foes to temporally bring them back to life as illusions of their former lives. So, yeah, absolutely.
