This is entirely the work of my own imagination, and does not reflect anything that currently exists or is rumored to be in the works for Elder Scrolls Online. Since the release of the Warden class and with the upcoming Necromancer, this is now annotated to show how accurate my predictions were.

Necromancer is a class in Elder Scrolls Online. They are suitable as DPS and Tanking builds, having a variety of skills that can be effective for both. They often rely on minions from their Necromancy Tree, but can be effective damage dealers using Necrotic Chill and Death Magic.

Necrotic ChillEdit

Yes Well, it wasn't on the Necromancer, but I did predict the introduction of a frost-damage based skill tree, and many of the abilities in this tree ended up being seen in the Warden's Winter's Embrace tree. In particular, the Frozen Armor is basically Frost Cloak (There actually is a Frozen Armor passive, so I even got the name right), and Tornado is very similar to Arctic Wind

NecromancyEdit

Yes Well, a bone-themed tree was inevitable for a Necromancer. I was fairly close on the Ultimate for this tree - except that you become a Bone Walker instead of just summoning one. Raise Skeleton was also an obvious choice, seen as Skeletal Mage. Corpse Bomb seems very similar to Blastbones.

Death MagicEdit

Yes There's some parallels here between this and Living Death as well as the Warden's Animal Companions. Death Shield has some things in common with Reanimate, the Living Death's Ultimate skill, in that they are both aimed at directly defying death. Buzzing Flies is a pretty-near-exact match for Swarm.

If your health is reduced to 0, you will instead turn into a statue, unable to attack or be attacked, but still able to receive healing, and the field will additionally deal X Magic Damage per second to all enemies within it. This effect can occur no more than once every 5 minutes.
