Online:Necromancer
This article is about the player class. For the character class, see Necromancer (NPC class). For the randomly encountered NPC, see Necromancer (NPC).
Necromancer is a class in Elder Scrolls Online. It is available to players who have purchased the Elsweyr Chapter. Necromancers are death bringers who use a mix of Illusion, Destruction, and Conjuration spells, and mostly deal with the undead and fear.
Performing certain Necromancer abilities in front of some NPCs (for example, guards) will incur a bounty. These skills are marked as CRIMINAL ACT.

- In-Game Description: Masters of death, Necromancers can call upon corpses to serve as undead thralls and weave ghastly spells to both harm and heal.

Necromancer is one of the more difficult classes for mixing builds. There is only one dual-build which does not have any conflicting morphs, between Deathbringer and Flesh Sculptor, though these are incompatible for other reasons, since the former is Stamina-based and the latter is Magicka-based. There are no triple-builds with fewer than 2 conflicting morphs.
