Not necessarily in terms of strength or effectiveness.
What I really like about Epidemic, is that it defines us as Necromancers. It’s unique only to us, something to make other classes look at us and be jealous. It’s also extremely satisfying and has high potential.
Also more importantly, it has alot of style. It looks awesome, in fact it actually looks ALOT like a similar spell Magus in Warhammer had, that same swirly radiating effect.
What I’m mainly talking about is Aesthetics. I want necro’s to have more awesome and defining animations like that.
Fear was originally supposed to be that as well, but that’s sort of out the window by now.
