Is this ever going to happen? Devs have had at least two years to do this, yet they never reply to any post about nec dot revamps. Can we at least have some kind of confirmation of a yes or no on this from a dev's standpoint please?
sadly the necro population has become so low that the priority to get this done is way on the back burner and has been. Maybe someday who knows /shrug. ( when I say the population I am referring to people that main a Necro not a box
Well eok beta they said after launch they would start working on it again. So most likely in 2019 to never. I'll be surprised if they do it. I look at patch every month and am never surprised it isn't done yet
I feel like they really needed to do more of a spell revamp during RoS beta. Consolidation doesn't fix all that much. Necros will still have like 15 modern DoT lines, not counting swifts.
Yes Aristo posted in October 2016 in the EoK beta forums that as soon as he finished up EoK spells he was going to then finish up the dot revamps. Its been over a year since that and almost a full two years since the "this will occur over the next few months" original comment.
Together with this revamp (if they ever do it), they should double the amount of debug slots on all mobs. (If thats even enough, as now several revamp classes dot due to the revamps where they didn’t bother before.) Here is to hoping!
Looking forward to changes and would love to have an idea of when they are expected, but given all the bugs and other problems being brought to their attention - I have little hope of seeing this anytime soon.
You know I was looking forward to some change to our dots, but something tells me they would screw it all up. At least now, I know what I can do with my current spell line up. Playing a necro since 2000, and raiding just about every expansion that hascome out since POP, there isn't anything wrong with the necro class. Playing the class to the point of beating almost all if not all other raiders on a given night, takes some skill. If they give us a few powerful dots to cast, and anyone stepping into the game can play a necro, then I'd probably find something else to do.
One more patch cycle before I begin collecting on bets that Necro's will not see a dot revamp. Going to be amusing when I start collecting.
