The Necromancer is a dark caster that summons multiple undead pets at the same time to swarm and overwhelm enemies. Call upon hordes of wildly unique Undead minions like skeletons, wraiths, abominations, ghouls, and more, and wield Plague and Frost Damage to whither foes to a tragic end.
Conquest of Azeroth is an upcoming reimagining of World of Warcraft, complete with 21 original classes paired with all of Ascension’s custom features. CoA features 21 completely new classes with 69 total specs, crafted from the lore of Azeroth, each featuring their own spells, talents, and unique playstyles-progressing through the Original Trilogy on Ascension.
Azeroth has always been bigger than the bits we’ve been able to see, and the goal of CoA is to allow heroes access to hidden parts of the lore and mythos to challenge familiar foes in new ways. Conquest of Azeroth seeks to restore the wonder and excitement of stepping into Azeroth for the first time, and bring back your thrilling journeys learning your class and exploring the world.
CoA will be one more step in Ascension’s expansion from classless into fully Custom WoW, creating a premier place for custom WoW content.

Now we're talking! EDIT: Just finished watching the video. Goodness, this is 100% exactly what I've always been hoping Blizzard would do for their own Necromancer class, if they ever got around to it. The Death, Rime and Animation 3-spec idea you all did - perfect. Can't wait to play this.

[@tarndarckblack318]

The team of Ascension WoW did an amazing job with the necromancer class proving it can be way more than a mix of warlock and DK something that you would certainly love Nixxiom !

[@Roxar96]

I was thinking about you watching this ; This trailer was insane with the war3 music

[@Birgit622]

Go away nixxiom

[@angamaitesangahyando685]

​@@Birgit622Why hostile towards Nixxiom? Isn't he a legendary Machinima creator? Or has something happened? - Adûnâi

[@JanissaryTR]

I really want it to be released now

[@Smokie1523]

See this, blizzard? All that money and team size, and these guys create the necromancer class we've all been waiting and dreaming about with no where near the budget, or team size you have.. you guys really have given up, haven't you? This looks incredible! Great job, guys! Absolutely no notes! It's perfect!

[@JoeGameVideos]

and they use all assets of wow xD

[@ApexWolfPR]

@@JoeGameVideos meaning blizzard have the tools to create something even greater but they choose not to...

[@ApexWolfPR]

@@JoeGameVideos yet what i said still stands, this just shows that blizzard can make all of this but actively chooses not to, and yes this will most likely be free when it launches and yeah they are taking donation after all thay need to fund the time investes into this

[@ApexWolfPR]

@@JoeGameVideos wether if they get sued by blizzard or notis not really our concern as we are aware of the possibility of it due to the nature of the server, all we can do its plat and if its gets shut down be thankful for the creativity of this team to turn wow into something different thats actually good

[@danmcgladdery1813]

They’re more interested in making gender neutral races, female dwarves with beards and humans with elf ears.

[@a.lischenko2177]

whys this so much cooler than anything blizzard is doing

[@kromster1427]

omfg i love this class well done COA team well done cant wait for 60 phase!!!

[@TheEvilWarlock]

Do you plan on doing these short intros for all 21 classes? 'Cause that would be neat.

[@mtgmaster8]

mcdoubles has been doing longer ones on his channel if you havent seen them yet.

[@ascensiongg]

We sure can if you like them.

[@Anticlitmatic]

@@ascensionggplease do!

[@TheByron130]

​@ascensiongg yes please.

[@ValeraRom]

we need more videos of CoA like that 👀

[@joezar33]

Notice they done a few CoA lately , thank gwad , only thing I'm actually looking forward to on Ascension server

[@yoink3611]

no we dont no one is gonna play this shit

[@ValeraRom]

@@yoink3611 so don't play "this shit" mah dude

[@neartzim4240]

you can watch mcdoubles videos if you want more of CoA

[@ascensiongg]

we'll make more like this if you like them :o

[@tarndarckblack318]

I have to say i have been playing the necro class on the PTR for a bit now, i just love it you guys made a necromancer class that his unique proving that it can be its own thing and has a Unholy DK and Demo Warlock player i am thankfull and proud to say that your work is near perfection wich also goes for all your other classes, even the classless servers are just incredible

[@ascensiongg]

Hey this really means a lot to us, hope you continue to have a blast.

[@TheLollercaster]

holy shit! that looks really effin' good! If only Blizzard did this! Animations and just the idea are super great!

[@oussemamenthole2586]

As a Necro main in gw2 this looks sick

[@bradellz7111]

You guys literally are the best hands down bro. Thank you!

[@Frostgnaw]

Rime is such a cool spec. All about build up and sustaining your built up buffs to massively increase ypur dps. One of my favorite specs.

[@Akihito_Kanbara]

Finnnneeeee I'll finally install and try out Ascension.

[@johnestell3442]

Awesome video! Keep em coming team Ascension!

[@clapalme2106]

This reminds me of the early days of Affliction Warlock.

[@MrMcGibblets04]

Oh my God it's Grenth!!

[@Leslie-hg6wl]

I would love to see the necromancer in-game. The frost-based spells while summoning the dead. *chef kiss*

[@Torbirk]

Cool concept! Imagine a healer spec that focuses on maggots to heal allies

[@MrCuevas18]

Hopefully you guys can show case the other classes soon so that all the people you're letting in to beta can get a sense of the classes

[@trythis2006]

this is the only thing that still gets me hyped about wow, keep going guys!!!

[@kromster1427]

MY CLASS BABY LETS GOOOO

[@pcheaven2404]

So hyped for the upcoming alpha in a few days !

[@shouty3]

when it hitting ?

[@RaiderDave42069]

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most played class in CoA, it's so cool

[@lucaspanda616]

This right here is what ive wanted in wow since tbc!!! I guess I'm going to go get a ptr token for this 😂🎉

[@sloppysandman6758]

Hyped AF for CoA

[@goodcitizen7064]

Looks pretty cool.

[@조오컷]

Necromancer = warlock + deathknight

[@square3one921]

This is really cool, not like we have been asking for it in retail forever by now.

[@russelllapua4904]

Reminds me of the Bonedancer from DAoC

[@SebastiánWilfredoTorre]

Looks amazing.

[@halason1]

This looks incredible

[@Guatdefook]

This is what Unholy DK wishes it could be on retail.

[@Reyra29]

Full guardians(kinda pet) spec, COUNT ME IN !!!!

[@Seisure33]

these guys should be hired by blizzard to let them make the change needed, looks so fun to play this class

[@emmanuelluque6770]

Bien ahi amigo el tiempo que voy a pasar jugando este server va a ser insano !

[@OhCanadaGamer]

Making Activision Blizzard look bad with a fraction of the budget.

[@DigitalConceptz]

When will this become available? Looks sweeeettt😮

[@ascensiongg]

It's in alpha development now, but will eventually go live and be free to play for everyone

[@DigitalConceptz]

@@ascensiongg amazing!!!! So excited thank you guys for making all this possible

[@ZezanB]

please make lich form a permanent form change and not just a temporary buff please. (I wanna play as a Lich the whole time.)

[@GGdayze]

Literally just bought COA just for necromancer

[@Nathanomaly]

Is this going to be similar to the summoner necromancer from Diablo 2? I have always wanted an MMORPG to have a class similar to that, probably not amazing in PvP, but absolutely awesome and fun in PvE. Regardless, I am hyped for this class and it will definitely be the one I play when this comes out. You folks are doing really great work and I want you to know that I am thankful there is a team trying new things and coming up with cool and new ideas for classes. It is this type of imaginative stuff that makes the game all the better, new content and trying out new things will always be the best thing to do for a game to keep it interesting. Looking forward to when CoA comes out, please do not rush anything and take your time.

[@crepooscul]

Good choice of music :)

[@crenshawpete273]

Compared to many classes right now it's kind of underscaled but the kit itself feels fun.

[@bqd993]

this looks pretty damn awesome

[@Kudeghraw]

The only thing I missed when transferring from Everquest to Warcraft was the Necromancer. Looks like they just mashed up an affliction lock with an Unholy DK. Necromancers are the unquestioned kings of DoT. No other class should be even matching their DoT damage. Necros should also have strong pets as that is their bag, summoning dead folks. Either focus on a single strong pet, or many weaker ones. Pallies obviously get the class advantage against them. Necros have to make a deal with the darkside to get mana. That means losing a small amount of HP per tick to gain mana regen per tick. Different than a warlock's Lifetap/Drain life. Lifetap would actually be an attack to leech HP for healing while doing damage. A Nuke/Heal. Obviously squishy as a pure caster, they can sacrifice pets for benefits like armor to absorb a burst attack or increase healing rate and amount. Hopefully they get it right.

[@nikolaikalashnikov4253]

I would like to see a new *_Mounted-Dragoon_* class with default Brown Chocobo Mount that plays like a (Melee &/or Ranged) Hunter: With "Stances or Forms" that allow you to change Mount Forms that allow you to specialize further into (1) Tanking ("White" or "Silver" Chocobo), (2) Healing with either "Green" Nature Heals & spells OR "Gold"/"Yellow" Holy Heals & spells, (3) Added Magical DPS Abilities with "Red" (Fire), "Blue" (Frost), "Black" (Shadow), "Purple" (Arcane). Altho, I think there should be a Cooldown & Cast-time to change between Specialized-Forms: Like, at least one-second to ten-second cast-time (to prevent accidental changes). And some kind of cooldown (that can be lowered with talents). Like, for example, a "Magic Spec" might be able to instantly change between Red, Blue, Black, & Purple with no cooldown (making a "Stance Dance" Caster Class), while they could NOT change into Tank or Healing forms repeatedly & instantly. And actually, this idea would be really cool because you could make a "Stance Dancing" Healing Class as well with "Green" & "Yellow" forms: Like, having "Yellow" Form spells costing Mana, but generating Nature Runes where you have to change to "Green" Form to use up your Nature Runes into Nature Heals ? Same deal with Magic Spec: Fire & Frost cost Mana but generate Runes that can be used for Shadow & Arcane spells ? There's actually different ways to implement this idea: It can be as simple as generating Generic Runes: Or, it can be a more complex system that generates specific types of Runes: Like, a "ShadowFlame" system where Fire spells cost "Red Energy" but generate Shadow Runes that, when used, award "Blue Energy" for Frost spells that generate Arcane Runes that (when used) generate more "Red Energy" again for more Fire spells ? Many different systems & play-styles that can be developed off this idea: Something to think about ? And to state the obvious, it's not "Stance Dancing" if you don't restrict Spells & Abilities to their appropriate Forms. Also, the "Physical" Talent Tree could double to offer different paths to either allow you to continue into a Physical DPS specialization OR to specialize in Tanking: Kinda like the Feral Tree allows you to either get better at Cat DPS or Bear Tanking. Overall, kinda a crazy Class idea that maybe, in retrospec, should be divided up into TWO or THREE different classes ? Altho, I do really like the idea of "Stance Dancing" Healers & Mages, but maybe that should be a separate Class ? Altho, I do not know what the Name or Concept would be ? ...Maybe "Sorceror" for Fire/Frost/Shadow/Arcane dancing ? Altho, conceptually, I am not sure what you would call a Healer that has both Holy _AND_ Nature magic ??? Hence, the (Mounted) *_Dragoon_* Class that gains special powers & abilities depending on what kind (color) of *_Chocobo Mount_* (Form) that they're currently using ? ...Conceptually, that's one of the only ways that I can see having an excuse for a Class to be able to have both Holy _AND_ Nature magic ???

[@nikolaikalashnikov4253]

For "Stance Dancing Healer" (with both Holy _AND_ Nature spells), the only thing I can think of would be some kind "Summoner" that instead of conjuring beings, they are instead, focusing & "conjuring" different aspects of themselves (& the Universe) in order to "transmute" or transform into different "Aspects": Like, maybe a "Spirit Form" that gives access to the Astral Plane & it's Holy Magics, but conceptually, takes a lot of "spiritual energy" to maintain, which is the reason why you'd need to change back into some kind of form ("Stone Form") to re-connect to the Earthly-Realm and give access to Nature spells that allow you to "revitalize" your "spiritual energy" to be able to assume "Spirit Form" once again ? Alternatively, I think we could have a "Sage" Class that studies both Nature & Holy magic ? ...Or, I would say that "Monk" magic could be both Nature-based & Holy-based... but, of course, there's already a Monk Class :P

[@chriswahl1337]

If this is why Wildcard isn't as balanced as I'd like it, I'm totally cool with it. Narrator extra calm in this one.

[@giorgimachitidze1759]

This is so cool...I miss times when wow was this good...

[@Xailion]

The original DAoC Necromancer was the greatest mmo Necro of all time.

[@solomonkane4254]

Круто! Просто нет слов.

[@Chusaudzuidze]

it is just me or this look like DK but in range type :D

[@mugene]

its all about that night elf mohawk

[@Ziploc_Wonder]

Okay so... this... I think I want to reinstall and play this... I'm absolute trash on A52 server with trying to craft my own build, I know. I'm probably just a trash player in general... but this... this looks like a ton of fun. I've always loved Necromancer type classes, and I really do wanna try this.

[@RTMaster1]

I bet the "vast armies" are like 5 or something

[@Kyle-ly6bt]

3 for most specs, 5 for animation. And animation can summon more temporary ones. Considering limitations that can come from having lots of minions, its a great direction.

[@ayrill]

holy thats exactly what i wanna play :D is that playable already? and if not when is it going live? xD

[@Molhedim]

I hope we can actually play as a minion master and the minions are powerful and not just there doing minimal dps and die easy. I want to play a minion build that is actually good and can compete.

[@magnusx8615]

Idk why they never did Necromancer as class in wow retail, blizzard is a fking disgrace

[@lukepearson1760]

This is so cool

[@wesleyvl8572]

We needt this in wow

[@PeteWside]

Why not Lich? This is more like Warlock crossover

[@sfumato8889]

Awesome preview ! Can we play conquet of azeroth with old models and animations ?

[@ascensiongg]

You will be able to play with old models!

[@smitty78749]

should be death darkness and undeath, leave the rime for the Lich class

[@uhhmon319]

I have wanted this for yeeeeears

[@mytwocents8023]

So they mixed warlock, death knight and mage

[@darrenthorn4606]

its been out for ages?

[@iBaluu]

When will CoA release? Been waiting for 2 years already :(

[@ascensiongg]

Honestly really appreciate your patience: 21 classes is a huge undertaking and we want you to absolutely LOVE the final product. It'll take a bit more time for polish, but it'll be worth it.

[@WoWUndad]

from one full stack private server dev to another ... yall at ascension put in more work and produce so much more, than the 2 man classic sod team remaking 10 wotlk spells in lua every 2 months. if you flag a npc you summon as unclickable and have it replicate a spell or something dynamic, you have yourself a retail level talent like druid trees or divine image, or fire mage phoniex in the next cave expansion

[@mohamedadel7856]

when we can play it and test it and have fun ?!

[@vanbuinen7796]

Animation spec: Revert the last patch, as it completly breaks the summons. Very low damage and cant tank mobs now.

[@-Wolfheart]

So undead dk with cloth armor and more minions.

[@ascensiongg]

Only class in history that's been able to use multiple permanent pets!

[@Erial0]

Is the Lich form only for the Rime specialization, or does the other specializations have it too?

[@shinokto3972]

This looks gratis. Keep it up

[@neganinja]

how do i get to play in this realm i really want to play it :)

[@platty7047]

Das wird lustig im 40 Mann RAID wen alle noch ihre Pets als Necromant auspacken 😂

[@tybro1999]

Can I still be a Lich and play as Animation?

[@istvangrezal5872]

Death knight + warlock = necromancer.

[@Serphentin]

If it doesn't come from runes, don't call it runic power. Also I feel like you definitely could have figured out how to make a healer or even tank from Necromancer.

[@mkmike4903]

Sounds like my friend pingas.

We have something called "Warlock" with 3 different talent specs and what you are talking about sounds more like "Demonology-warlock"

[@666Raco666]

Where can I play this,on wich server,is it wild card or the other server....I'm kinda new in Ascension

[@ascensiongg]

Hey! Conquest of Azeroth is in alpha atm: it will be free to play when it launches. Wildcard is free to play RIGHT NOW: log in and click "Elune" server. Free Pick (choose any ability and talent) is free to play RIGHT NOW: try the "Area 52" server. Select your server once you log into the game!

[@frankcastle9691]

So every new class is horde only?

[@ascensiongg]

Nope! There's races for all classes on both sides, just seemed fitting to showcase necromancer as an undead.

how they get wow to look so good my games maxed and it doesn't look like this video.

is this locked to certain realms? I downloaded the game and didn't see any options on Area 52 or Elune.

I have wanted this class in WOW since it's release, it feels abit strange to release it at a time when WOW is sorta falling apart in it's storytelling and the height and peak of what WOW was once before crumbling under it's own rehashing and bad choices and retcons, As much as i always love the Necromancy classes in any RPG i feel like WOW missed this by a mile

[@ascensiongg]

Luckily we are a WoW mod and not the base game.

[@GamingCraftTeam]
