    Just a new class idea I had and wanted to share. I've listed some potential skills below, to give you guys an idea of what I have in mind with some background information as well. Enjoy!

    Masters of darkness, necromancers harness powers akin to the creatures of the anderworld with the belief that in understanding one's enemy, one must learn their methods and utilize them to better learn the weaknesses of it. Manipulators of both mind and body, necromancers induce fears, apply damage over time effects, and can even reanimate the dead or summon demons of monstrous power to do their bidding. The Necromancer uses a percentage of his maximum health to cast many of his spells. Instead of mana, the Necromancer fills his bloodwell, which has a maximum capacity of 25% of his own maximum health. The Necromancer can choose when to use this bloodwell as a shield, and may also draw from this well to cast spells when needed. If the Necromancer chooses to do so, his spells will not refill his Bloodwell. The Necromancer may only have 5 summoned creatures active at one time.

    Skills:
    1: Nightmare Bubble - The Necromancer creates a nightmare bubble at target location, which bursts after a short delay, dealing 60% of his base damage to all enemies caught in the small aoe.

    1: Bloodwell - Bloodwell is a toggled skill. When active, the Necromancer will take 25% reduced damage, as his bloodwell will absorb 25% of the damage taken. The Necromancer may also cast spells using his bloodwell as opposed to his actual health. This ability lasts until toggled off, or until the well is depleted.

    2: Bloodball - Tosses a Bloodball that deals 100% of your base damage. Enemies that are hit are slowed. This slow decays rapidly over 1.5 seconds.

    3: Soul Siphon - Tosses out an ethereal chain. If this chain strikes an enemy hero, it deals 75% of your base damage, and grants the Necromancer a soul charge. The Necromancer may only have one soul charge. Reactivating this skill with summoned creatures active will grant them a temporary boost in stats.

    6: Skeletal Summons - The Necromancer summons three skeletons, who have 25% of th necromancers defensive stats. They have 110% of the necromancers move speed and deal 30% of the necromancers base damage with their auto attacks.

    9: Into Darkness - Fade into darkness and teleport yourself a short distance away.

    12: Leeching Pool - Deals 200% of your base damage to enemies who walk into your pool over 6 seconds. You regain 50% of the damage dealt as health.

    15: Bone Storm - Destroy up to three summoned creatures to create a slow moving vortex of bone which follows your cursor for a period of time, dealing damage and slowing enemies.

    18: Blood Orb - Launch three blood orbs out, dealing damage. If they strike an enemy, they bounce off, becoming heal orbs that only you or your allies may pick up to regain hp.

    22: Demonic Summons - Summon a massive demon of the abyss to do your bidding. This demon has 45% of the necromancers defensive stats, 120% of the necromancer's base movespeed, and deals 60% of the necromancers base damage with its auto attacks. It's auto attacks also apply a damage over time effect. This summon may not be destroyed by bone storm.

    26: Bloodhound - Toss out a bloodhound which deals 300% of your base damage in a line. It then runs to the Necromancer, healing for 45% of the damage dealt.

    30: Ghoul - Summons a ghoul, which has better damage and speed than the Demonic Summons, but less defenses. Cannot be destroyed by Bone Storm. Ranged attacks.

    35: Swarm of The Undead - The Necromancer summons a maximum of 7 skeletons which only last 7 seconds. Reactivate this skill to destroy the skeletons, each dealing 25% of your base damage in a small aoe.

    40: Lord of Hell - Summons a lord of th abyss to fight at your command. This unit may not be destroyed by bone storm, and has 75% of th necromancers defensive stats and 110% of his movespeed. In addition to this, it deals 60% of the necromancers auto attacks in a sweeping aoe in front of it.

    Sounds pretty dark. In the battle of good v evil here in Dark Oz, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?

    Nah... First of all you need a better name... Like "Mortuus Trakilakium":cool:
    And secondly, you forgot: "It needs to kick the EDIT of all the other classes in PvP, rendering them useless.";)

    What if, instead of adding a Necromancer to the good guys, BP came up with a way to sort of expand the world/map. For example, you could choose to fight for the 'good guys' OR the 'bad guys'. Like right now its from the good guy view point. Say, if you chose bad guy, you'd have to fight against the good towns and such. Like raid them as quests, for example. As far as bad guy class, you could have the Necromancer, maybe Werewolf, Dragon, and maybe like a Troll or Spider creature. IDK, just throwing out ideas. Please post your thoughts.

    If they are going to create another character type, it has to have skills based on Andermagic!
    The Necromancer fits this, but not sure about the skills xD :)
