Guild Wars 2

Imagine a necro summon undead skill that allowed you to raise the corpse of the player that you just killed, in all their zombified glory! How cool would that be? I mean, not actually taking control of the player, but making a copy of their character model, turning the skin a bit rotten /green / covered in blood etc. Id even put a GW1 “disease” style green cloud around them to show they are zombies not real players. I think it would be a really sweet touch in pvp. You could even go as far as making the summons different depending on the profession of your dead foe, with regards to their skills and behaviour.

I look at GW2’s Necromancer as more of a Warlock. Their “undead” minions seem more like demons or fiends than actual undead. I’m not saying the class should be more similar to other game’s Necromancers… just doesn’t feel like a necromancer.

Well the hint is in the name: Necromancer. They deal with death all the time, and in GW1 even used the corpses of dead foes and allies alike to create their creatures of the underworld. I agree it’s not exactly “zombies” but that’s getting a bit pedantic I think.
