The summoner/Necromancer

What do you want with your "Pet"?
If its humanoid id like to be able to equip it items. the whole nine yards. min maxing my character and another at the same time might be a tad much but it sounds like fun to me.

Undead skeleton armies or we riot!

Anyway, as someone said before, I really hope it isn't like the GW2 Necro summons. Necro is actually my favorite in gw2 and the skills are a lot of fun, but the minions are really a let-down. You have like 5 to pick from and that's it. Every single necro use the same 3 creatures. No customization and all look like weird animals.

Reading the Overlord novel was the sole reason I got into MMORPGs again. So, yeah.

I just like the idea of npc creation like overlord went over in their mmo.

I doubt any one character would be able to control a horde of summons unless they're a glass cannon, and even so that is crazy unbalanced. There's nothing wrong with summoning elementals or guards to aid in fights, or even summons from other planes of existence. I don't want to walk around the world and be like "Oh, look another necromancer." while that player is running around with 20 zombies. And with all this hype, it feels like 10%+ of the playerbase is going to be Necromancers.

Most people dont get inspired to play necromancers from Overlord I'd say, it's just the vocal minority that want to be necromancers. I'd say most people wont be even playing them.

I would bet with you that the most played class in AoC will either be the fighter, rogue or mage.

Well actually me too. If not main then at least as an alt. I have high hopes and I wish there is some role options and not just pure dps.

normally summoners are a hybrid class anyway so that's should be easy to do

I don't know how to feel about this because I have only seen GW2 and WoW on how pets operate. I can say this however, I feel the summoner's main source of damage should be through their creation/summon rather than them self. In wow both the beastmaster hunter and the demonology warlock use two different forms of companions, beastmasters buff up one pet to do insane levels of damage while demonologists use an army of demons to pump out damage, and I believe both version would be great in this game. The difference is while you can do both those things in WoW the main source of your damage always feels like it is from the player and not the minions, so I would personally love a class where you send off your pet and someone seeing a summoner's minion(s) and think "oh crap better not let that hit me". That being said I wouldn't want all the damage to be centered on the summon to where if in pvp someone either kills or ignores the pet the summoner would die instantly.

I agree with this sentiment.

Id like to see a necromancer that can summon like 10ish Undead troops from corpses of monster slain with temporary uptime with one permament deathguard type of undead that would be customizable ( my fav one is killing humanoid monsters and choosing to raise them as your deathguard with the boss monsters varied abilitys ), i mean if necromancer are strong that way it can always be balanced by giving them a big downside like... cant be healed by clerics ( have to rely onthemselves with somekind of lifedraining abilities )

Or Like some petclasses from Daoc, Necromancer there summoned one pet and became intagible, like a ghost behind their one pet, and all his abilities were cast through the evolving pet ( the pet just did melee attacks etc and you cast spells that did dmg around your pet and then you had debuffs/curses you could cast on monsters.
Other one was Bonedancer, you could have one big general pet that they controled and 3 others that were controlled by the general but you could choose what they were, you could make them warrior tankers/archers ,healers/buffers or nukers/debuffers
