Necromancer
Master of death — DoTs, pets, lifetaps, and fear.
Role: DoT DPS / Pet / Utility
Core Description
Necromancers are masters of death and decay. They wield powerful damage-over-time spells that can stack with other DoTs, summon undead pets to fight by their side, drain life from their enemies, and manipulate fear and death to their advantage. Necromancers have exceptional solo capability thanks to their pet + fear-kiting + lifetap combination.
EQL-Specific Necromancer Changes
🆕 New EQL-Exclusive DoT Line
Necromancer received a new DoT line exclusive to Legends (level 29+). This expands their already formidable DoT arsenal. Combined with Wizard nukes and Cleric heals, this makes the caster trio incredibly potent.

Stat Priorities
- Intelligence (INT): Mana pool. Necromancer's primary stat.
- Stamina (STA): HP. Lich converts HP to mana — more HP = more safety.
- Dexterity (DEX): Reduces spell fizzle.
- Wisdom (WIS): Secondary — benefits from Cleric primary.
Synergy Notes
Necromancer DoTs stack with Wizard nukes (different damage types, different timers). Lich + Clarity song + Clarity spell = massive mana regen. The pet can hold a secondary mob while Paladin tanks the main target. Feign Death + Wizard Evacuate + Cleric Rez = ultimate safety net.
