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.

Compatible Builds

It is possible to build a character which meets or mostly meets the recommendations of multiple builds simultaneously. The chart below shows skill morphs which conflict between different builds.

	Necromancer Initiate	Baleful Summoner	Deathbringer	Undying Warrior	Flesh Sculptor
Necromancer Initiate		Spirit Mender	Flame Skull Blastbones Expunge Frozen Colossus Bone Goliath Skeletal Mage Shocking Siphon	Bone Armor	Render Flesh Expunge Spirit Mender
Baleful Summoner	Spirit Mender		Flame Skull Frozen Colossus Bone Goliath Skeletal Mage Shocking Siphon	Bone Armor Spirit Mender	Render Flesh
Deathbringer	Flame Skull Blastbones Expunge Frozen Colossus Bone Goliath Skeletal Mage Shocking Siphon	Flame Skull Frozen Colossus Bone Goliath Skeletal Mage Shocking Siphon		Death Scythe Expunge	no conflicts
Undying Warrior	Bone Armor	Bone Armor Spirit Mender	Death Scythe Expunge		Expunge Spirit Mender
Flesh Sculptor	Render Flesh Expunge Spirit Mender	Render Flesh	no conflicts	Expunge Spirit Mender

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.
