imageElder Scrolls Online: Hands On With the Dark & Glorious Necromancer - MMORPG.com

During Bethesda’s Game Days at PAX East, I finally got time to try the Necromancer in Elder Scrolls Online’s forthcoming Elsweyr chapter. I can say, with some trepidation, that the Necromancer may be the most interesting class Zenimax has ever imagined for their MMO.

Read the full story here

    "but there’s a kicker for a lot of the Necromancer skills - using them in front of townsfolk can make you wanted by the guards around town - just as if you stole something or killed someone."

    That's a nice touch.

    Stopped playing this game when I found out my level 40 well geared toon did less damage then a level 1 with no gear.

    I was attacking a mob near the starting city with my level 40. Then rolled a new level 1, and did more damage to it as the level 1 with no gear.

    Hours of playing to become weaker.

    If you were weaker then you should stop playing games completely. Only if you stayed in way under leveled gear would I believe that and that would still be a stretch.

    I'm as pumped as Bill is waiting to setup my Khajiti Necromancer. I think this is going to be a blast to play. I haven't had fun with a Necromancer since GW1. Already played with my ESO character setup settings so I know exactly how I will set him up to look, and the name I will use for him (always a lengthy process for me). This one will look forward to Bill's promised video tomorrow and will see you all in Elsweyr!

    It’s accurate. With the level scaling, your character ends up doing less damage the higher level you get. Until you get to max level, then you get your ass handed to you until you get some better gear and champion points.

    Some quests have you fight in cities. It will be interesting to see how they work this out. Still looking forward to making a Necro/vamp. :)

    With all the gear sets that just drop in the wild and are awarded by questing, it's really easy to gear-up. I still don't need to craft in this game.

    So I'll probably hop back in to ESO when this expansion releases to see how it has come along. Plus the Necromancer sounds pretty sweet.

    On another note, for some reason Lawrence Schick reminds me of this guy

    This certainly isn't the case "overall", Were fighting the exact same mob - whilst they are all cp160 some are far stronger than others. If so maybe it was RNG. Either way the reality is that a level 40 is not that much more powerful than a level 1. And whilst the boost that a level 40 gets is less than what a level 1 gets - on the basis that stat boosts have been applied, gear improved and new skills learnt - it remains very, very significant.

    At the end of the day levelling in ESO is not fast. Its a long way from level 40 to cp160. In time however the gains kick in and there is absolutely no doubt that a level 1 might rule the roost. (Although a level 1 with many hundreds of cp points ......... )

    It's just the same tired, dumb, troll, shit some people have been posting since level scaling happened a couple of years ago. Either that or a truly clueless horrible player.

    Mundus stones, food, set pieces that drop like candy and rounded out skill bars makes it so that a level 40 can't help but be tons better than a level 1.

    I know that could be what it is but I'm trying to give @Jordnivek1 the benefit of the doubt..... 

    It is hard to comprehend though how a person, even someone who has no real idea, can do less damage with a level 40 in gear than a level 1 without with no gear. You do get more powerful as you level. Period. The increments are tiny but they are very real even going from 1 to cp160 when the character boost is in operation.

    Well ..... based on the many archaeological digs and studies of prehistoric oral and written traditions handed down over millennia scholars believe that there must have been many types of "dragon". A classification has even been created - a simple version of which is shown in the diagram.

    Purists contend that these scholars are wrong however and believe only in the purity of dragons.

    If you couldn't care less you wouldn't have posted it.

    And no. I just find it funny that you believe that your diagram means anything in the world and lore of the elder scrolls.

    He quit because he saw no reward for the time he invested in leveling his character, relative to a level 1 character who ran by and did just as much damage as his character.

    Meme less. Comprehend more.
