Necro Epic Wishlist

[Deth]

I am sure the Necro epic has already been designed, but I was just curious what you guys are looking for in our epic.What I would like to see:-A cool looking one handed scythe. (Even Duck Stick would be cool I guess.)-A Beating Heart.-Human Skull.I will add more if I think of any.

<p>An all bone greatstaff inspired by H. R. Giger designs with a head that changes into an impaled version of the head of the mob you are fighting (think about that in PvP!), otherwise a glowing impaled human skull. </p><p>I am a Necromancer, let me show you your own death!<img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/908627bbe5e9f6a080977db8c365caff.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>I have a 33 Necro, Dethdkdzs, on Kithicor.</p>

<p>Anyone who wants a twohanded epic is now my personal enemy.  I'd like to see a one handed dagger with a skull pomel or made of bone and possibly glowing green or black.  As for stats i hope to god that they remember that we ARE NOT sorcs.  Give us a goshdarn USEFULL effect on it plz plz plz!  I as a necromancer have flat out refused to do Claymore and SoD for the simple reason that the effort required is NOT worth the quality of the weapon in my eyes.  IMO any weapon that requires that much effort AND a raid to obtain it should be better than ANY other weaponyou can get from raiding.  So what im hoping for is INT and STA and lots of Health and i dont care how much power is on it.  I want spell damage and crit and either a usefull proc for soloing or a useful proc for raiding.  So long as i can look at it and say:  [Removed for Content] thats nice...I cant imagine myself using anything else.</p><p>Plz SOE dont screw over summoners again...I dont think i could bear the disappointment anymore...</p>

<p>ok we don't need to resort to hyper-exagerations and whining! Necros are NOT doing badly and have not been stepped over as much as you would infer. Not all quest rewards are perfect for every class. Period.</p><p>I agree... 2 handers that can not be converted to one handers... are problematic because they forever cut off a slot that might very well be useful in the future... So, if they do want to give us a 2H... I'd like it done like the warrior epic was in EQ1... ie, have it be 2 items that can be merged into 1... Like have it be 2 symbol/secondary slot items, that can be merged into 1-2hb staff... That'd make sence and be flexible to use. </p><p>As far as effects... I'd really like if they brought back something like the old splurt effect from EQ1. Or... maybe looking at the proposal above... Have 1 of the pieces have a proc that doubles the damage of one of our DoT lines... and have the other piece double the damage of the other DoT line... Then have the merged weapon double both DoT spells and shorten their spell duration.... so there's some benefit to using the 1hb over the 2 secondary pieces.  </p><p> I think this would make a pretty sweet epic set!</p>

We are not getting a weapon that will convert, they have already stated that they want epics to be adornable, which means they will not function like HQ rewards where you can convert them and therefore not adornable.2.  2H weapons are useless for casters, there won't be anything on it that will make me use it if its 2H3. Not sure which class you play but necros got shafted pretty good on this expansion.  Mostly gear wise but also in the spell department.  Our VP set is a joke, the 2 nice pieces we get screw us on other gear with similiar effects that other classes don't share.  ie the forearms have +7 crit on them but there is another non set piece that also has +7 crit on it and another nice effect, I think only 1 other mage class has +7 crit on the forearms.  Our 80 spell is an absolute joke and not sure what the developer who designed it was thinking, its so useless that doesn't even warrant a hotkey space or any desire to upgrade to M1.What I'd like to see on the Epic is similiar to what others have said.  Stats STR INT STA, we aren't healers and don't need wisdom.  We aren't a fricking scout so we don't need AGI, since you don't make any other inventory increasing items that aren't 100 lb boxes give us the ability to carry that crap.Effects need to be something that helps increas the pet dps, since for the most part the class by itself is pretty capped on damage increasing abilities or gear.  Give us something that reduces our cast time, sometimes I feel like it takes forever to cast crap.  And give us something that blows away every other item for that slot.  I don't want to get this and then have it open to debate on which is a better weapon 2 days after I get it.  It needs to be more powerful than anything Trakanon, the Avatars, or The Tangrin will EVER drop.  We've waited 2 months since this expansion was released, where these weapons were promised upon release.  Don't keep talking about those unfortunate fires in October were the reason why it wasn't released, we aren't stupid.  Stop pulling punches, and I hope SOE realizes that Epic weapons are gonna be make or break for a lot of the raiding community, most have already stated that this will be the final straw if you can't get your act together with this stuff.

<p>If I could ask for something I'd really want, then I'd like the possibility to use the buttons for :</p><p><b>pet_protectme</b> and <b>pet_protect yourself</b> </p><p>in macros.</p><p>In battle I'm only using my keyboard and quickbars/-keys and I would be happy to combine the 2 commands in 1 macro. That's all I'd like to see.</p>

[Kinox]

have you tried dragging the two icons into your macro window?As for the above poster...I really dont think its asking too much that SOE stop treating all mages the same.  Of course not every quest reward is always gonna be good for your class, but on a quest of this magnitude where one can only imagine how much effort and dedication it will take to get it, i have to say they should make sure its a bloody good weapon.  Necros have gotten screwed a lot since DoF came out.  We now have "limited pets" instead of dots that dont benefit from group buffs, aoe immunes, or our own stats.  I have yet to see a piece of KoS gear that I can say...[Removed for Content] thats a nice piece for a necro...and Even our EoF set gear was a joke.  And i swear, i cant even fathom why they insist on wasting one of our set pieces on FLOWING THOUGHT!  If i want flowing thought, theres plenty of jewlery that has it.  Dont waste my class specific set gear on something that quite fankly, most necros DONT need.  As for the Regeneration they decided we needed...i mean...seriously?  All my attacks proc a heal from lich PLUS my lifetap and aoe so i really dont understand that either.  As for claymore...mage reward was a threat decreaser?  Umm...seriously?  Necros hate is almost never an issue because we split our hate between us and our pet so really...unless ur so unskilled as to let your pet die  (too close without bloodpact usually) then thats not really very useful.  SoD mage reward was decent, and had i the time and group to get it updated...i might have worn it.  Might.Basically, to sum it all up, the epic weapons (for every class), should be the DEFINATIVE weapons for that class.  There should NOT be a more appealing weapon (though occasionally circumstances might require a different one) obtainable by raiding or pvp.  Because this is a weapon that is going to take a lot of effort and dedication and a raid on top of that.  Anything less than that and you're just wasting your money on a company that doesn't give a crap what  you want.

<p>I would love to see a 1h item with an impaled skull.  Graphics could have blood dripping from the bottom of the handle.  Yes, the Str/Int line would be GREAT!!  </p><p> But, most of all... clicky effect... WTD (WAKE THE DEAD)!!!    Conjurors got their Call of the Hero back, and by all that in unholy...I want WTD!!</p><p>Thank you</p><p><img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Electri Cal'Diva, Butherblock</p>

People gripe about us doing too much dps as it right now. I'd like a DMF(dead man floating) effect on top of Splurt type effect also lol. One more thing I'd love is pets to cast Harm Touch every 3 minutes like they did when Necro spectre pets were Gods in EQOA <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.
