Necromancer class?

[fenlander]

Will this game have a decent necromancer type class in the game?

There’s currently ice and fire in the form of ice gauntlet and fire staff.

Click create a build and then select weapon type and look at the skill tree. There’s also some player build on there for you to look at. Clicking a skill brings up a description. Same with passives.

Simple answer - no
The game does not have any set classes, no spell system and only a few magical weapons.

The game doesn't have set classes and even then it doesn't have any sort of pet/minion system.

There was some questionable leaked information about other weapons that we did not see in beta. Void gauntlet being one. Possible we may see a healing/dps weapon that uses some sort of drain life type skills. But this may be during a far later content release if at all.

Bro, there are no classes...

[AdahnGorion]

Did they not talk about that coming to the cash shop in 2022?

On a serious note.
No.. you are your weapon

[Yinde]

You are not a class. You are a random sailor person that gets shipwrecked and pick up a weapon of some type and starting wacking things with it. The more you use said weapon the better you get with it.

[Voronja]

And the end goal is to try and find the geezer who’s stashed the rum.

I know the game doesn't have classes as such, but the weapons have classes attached to them via skill lines.

All I was asking was is there a weapon that allows you to play the part of a necromancer?

Then your answer is a simple "no".
There are no mechanics that resemble a necromancer, like e.g. summon sceletons/undead or bonespikes or anything. At least not yet, I have heard rumors about a "Void Gauntlet", but no idea when or if that one is added and if it would allow to play necromancer-style.
In the current state (as it was in the beta) you would not be able to play the part of a necromancer in any way.

Necromancers would make this game a nightmare for PvE and PvP. They will camp spawns will their pets on aggressive, farming exp and respawn locations. PvP will be awful as well. It'll always be more than 1 vs 1 when fighting a Necro.
