I recall there being an entire mini dungeon devoted to an Asura Necromancer somewhere near the Asura starting area. Something about preserving her soul in golems?
Any of the colleges could work, in my opinion. Maybe it would be more like determining what flavour your Necromancer is, rather than which one is the most Necromancer?
Statics: A focus on building structures and objects that last without maintenance. Perhaps a necromancer focused on averting death completely, removing the decay of typical life.
Dynamics: A focus on new experimental technologies, and addressing problems that are only just being realized. A necromancer that would toy more with the line between life and death.
Synergetics: The college most focused on magic and the metaphysical. This type of necromancer would probably be very focused on the exact meaning of death, and the underlying nature of life force.
Maybe that doesn’t help, but it could be something to consider.
Mixing insults with your post is like pooping in a salad.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.
(My necro’s bio, which shows that you can make it work by stringing things together.)
Let’s begin with something simple. I am a graduate of the College of Statics, with a specialty in toxicology learned from only the most knowledgeable of hylek. I am dedicated to efficiency and delight in finding new ways to use old materials. I believe the dead have unlimited untapped potential. I am a Cryptician, and more precisely prefer to refer to myself as a Bureaumancer of Necrotic Efficiency.
Imagine having a work force that didn’t require rest, sustenance, occupational safety, and best of all, fair compensation for their time or work! The dead would be the perfect unskilled workforce. People are just disposing of bodies. Waste! I’ve just had unforeseen challenges with the implementation of training and control of the reanimated laborers.
Layman’s terms? They bloody keep trying to kill us. NO! No, that’s not why I’ve lost all my independent research funding and was placed under constant Arcane Council supervision. There was an incident. With puppies. On "Bring Your Progeny to Work Day". I figured I should start with something easy like pets you didn’t have to feed. Since they were technically dead. The puppies. Not the progeny. Initially. I still maintain their progenitors were negligent.
My biggest fear? Being dishonored and having my legacy ruined. It’s not like Zhaitan had any trouble with his workforce. I’m supremely confident that I can surpass anything that overhyped bookah could accomplish with his minions. I’m sure the Council will come around once I resolve the control issue. It’s a real killer.
I didn’t join the Order of Whispers because of all that alleged cloak and dagger balderdash. They appealed to my belief that proper administration is required to maximize operations in all things. The best managers take a hands off approach, remaining behind the scenes, if you will.
Heh heh, dance my little flesh golems, dance.
Ahem, I shaved my head by choice. It was more convenient than trying to satisfactorily neutralize the putrid miasma my hair collected in the laboratory. The sacrifices a girl has to make in the pursuit of progress.
