Necromancer Orc

[Sollet]

I just got intel on every captain in every region and I don't have a single necromancer in any of the regions... Nor do I have an orc named gravewalker. Are necromancers really THIS rare or is my game just broken?

I've seen 3 Necromancers so far in 1-2 sittings between 2-3 hours, of which the titles I have seen Necromancers have are:

- The Crafty
- The Gravewalker
- The Warlock

But I have ALSO noticed that all of these Necromancers I had and the many Necromancers on Streams and Videos ARE TRICKSTERS, thus it is likely that only Mystic Trickers can actually be Necromancers if they have the Titles that allow them to have the Necromancer Trait.


P.S: I'm doing a Guide on how, what and when Necromancers appear and can be utilised, I'll link into the steam discussions when it's done :)

Necromancers can be any class or tribe, they just have to have the cursed scar effect(bleached skin with purple/black viens). Those titles you listed are garunteed necromancers but it can spawn with others. I have a cursed warmonger tracker who is a necromancer.

I found 1 warlock marksman in minas morgul after 80 hour playtime but he was lvl 62 and i had to shame him,lucky for me he gained weakness to execution which is not a big deal:)

The necromancer trait can appear on a lot of different classes and tribes I don't have a complete list but they seem to have bleached skin at a minimum they don't need the black veins as shown in the picture of my necromancer olog.

Everyone with "Cursed" before the tribe can be a necromancer, doesn't mean they will be, but gives a chance.

Crafty, Gravewalker, Warlock has close to 100% of being one.

How to gain curse on them? Give them curse weapon, then hope.
If you give a necromancer another element weapon, as poison or fire. Their necromancer ability will be removed

[thefacelessone]

Haven't seen that yet do you have any screenshots that show it I will have to test it.

[ProfessorCookie]

Would take several, but sadly put all guys in garrison and deleted save to be ready for DLC tomorrow.

Basically I noticed it, and I tried it out by sacrificing my necromancer by giving him other elemental weapons.

Then talked to Uruk Hollow (That is famous SoM/SoW) through discord, and he had also noticed all necromancers are Cursed.

Doesn't matter skin color, or tribe or anything. It's just the curse that is the main factor
Still doesn't mean they will have it 100%, curse only gives the chance.

I have noticed they lose it if they go below 20, and gain it when going above 20.
But not always the case, sadly.

Still it's only those three titles that has the biggest chance of getting it, or has it always has it.

I actually just found a necromancer called Bush the Sweet, I think it was "Bush". And he was a cursed Terror Assassin

Necromancers aren't too rare in my game, but their not very common also.

i have a few necros but only because i been playing this game alot xD they are rare i met my first one at like lvl 30 killed him because i was not paying attention, from what i experienced they can only gain the trait to rezz orcs if they gained their cursed weapon themself. u cant just give him a training order and expect him to become one i tryd that atleast on 10 orcs from lvl 1-60, however i recently met a slaughter tribe dude who had cursed weapon from the start before i recruited him. after lvling him through 2 missions he had become a full fledged necro boi, also the only dude that i found that is a necromancer and also a decent class (slayer) so dlc rlly is pay to win.

heres all my dudes with the trait that i found so far https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/921419279571350871/58F83474CD129897199F4EC6E5C7DBAAB93F85FA/

I just make a Fort hav 4 necromancer warchiefs on my PS4

[Proto]

Necromancy is a rare trait indeed as its much better than anything a commander can do. In one playthrough managed to grab a bunch of mystic tribe that can use necromancy and surprisingly enough found a Dark tribe Slayer that can use necromany which is the first time I saw it before.

[Fate (-{SoH}-)]

On an entire playthrough i never once saw anyone with necromancy there is a chance i may have instant killed acouple of them.

I just wish my enemies were alittle more resilient normaly when i put my enemie down they stay down on the rare chance they come back it's just that once unless i dodge finishers and what not entirely.

I just got this guy in a spoils of war box, undead defense berserker:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1350035308

He originally had mighty defenders, replaced that with thick skin. Not sure where I want to put him...

edit: put him in the fight pits, was losing the 5th fight. Badly. Was considering alt-quitting for the first time in an online fight since I started playing the game. He raised the dead gangs, and apparently the other overlord was terrified of undead LMAO. got great strength, which is cool, I was more than half expecting him to get mighty defenders again or curse master.

I have one Necromancer in the 90 or so hours I've played this game. I also had "The Tower" (mine was called Kruk) but he died when I was reclaiming my Fort after I lost it during one of the games Bruz Quests.

Shame too. I was so psyched when I found Kruk the Tower and it took me like two or three attempts to dominate him (think I died once or twice in my quest to do so) and I really loved the concept of bringing "The Tower" under my control. Ultimate revenge.

Anyways, its safe to say Necromancers are EXTREMELY rare. If I remember right though, Im pretty sure the developers did reference in one of their livestreams that there is a way you can forge them yourself so to speak, but I don't think they ever fully explained it.

Hoowever I do believe they mentioned the method involved finding one of those Orcs with the grey sallow skin and blue veins (like Zog if you've met him) and taking of one of their arms, but I don't know the specifics. There's probably a guide for it though. Good luck.

I have this guy from a spoils chest, othe rthan that in two play throughs and hundreds of hours I have found 4 necromancers total: 1 berserkers, 1 tracker and 2 tricksters. I have yet to even see The Tower other than invading other player's forts. Just a few Pretenders who are all terrified of spiders and thus basically useless.
