Well, it is safe, we get no new shroud.
I, personally, am a bit disappointed because the shroud always was a part of the necromancer and specifically of the reaper.
Anyway, I´m looking forward to scourge but with less excitement than before.

It was obvious we would never get movement or other support / defence as long as we had shroud. I’m more interested in exactly what the new class mechanic is

They had to do something new and the only new mechanic you can do with a necro is remove the shroud.
They did the same thing to the ranger, making him adsorb the pet to obtain it’s power.

I’m not shure about it’s survavibility in an enviroment like sPvP, we’re already slaughtered all the day still with the shroud, I hope there will be a serious amount of movement and defensive skills to grant us a chance to survive in sPvP without our old meatshield mechanic.

But that’s the only thing that scare me, I really like the theme and the new role. Finally we’re able to cover our biggest lack and obtain a way to support our allies in some manner.
Support builds are frequently defensive, then we’ll obtain ways to survive better… I hope…

I’m just wondering what they will do with all the core traits that only works in shroud or on activation… Almost half of all the traits have to do with shroud in some way or another. Will they be changed or will they be worthless?

Going to have to wait for a balance update sometimes before the expansion. Most likely for the anniversary that coming up later this month.. I hope.

They have no more excuses to not balance the necros correctly now that we’re shroud-less.

Except base necro and reaper will still exist. Just because a new specialization exists doesn’t mean it’s required to play.
