Ideal Character Race & Faction:

Yes, it is true, some Character Races and Factions seem to excel better with the class training then others. What this means is that certain character races and Factions will receive a race and/or faction bonus that goes towards gaining trait exp.

The ideal Race for the Necromancer Class are:

Stygian (+1 Necromancer Trait, +1 Demonologiest Trait)

The ideal Faction for the Necromancer Class are:

Elvanor: +1 Demonologist Trait

However, you do not have to be one of these races or faction to be a Necromancer, you can be any you wish.

Necromancer specialties include:

Direct damage,

Damage-over-time,

Undead minions.

Necromancer Class Traits:

The class traits system allows you to customise your build to match your fighting style.
For the Necromancer Class, the following traits are recommended:

Level 10 Necromancer

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Necromancer = 20% Increased timer & 10% Health per level = You need to summon minions and have them active to level it. (You need a Darfari Witch Doctor II in the witchbowl cauldron to get necromancy craftable for summoning, it requires corrupted bonemeal to summon them and additional necrotic pets can be obtained by killing bosses for their recipe drops).

Level 10 Demonologist

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Demonologist = 15% Sorcery Damage per level = You need to deal damage with sorcery to level it.

Level 5/10 Shaman

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Shaman = 2% Decreased mana cost per level = You need to cleanse debuffs or have less than 25% mana to level it.

If you decide to put 10 levels into Shaman, you will have to pick between Priest and Ranger for your last 5 levels.

Level 5 Priest

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Priest = 6% Increased sorcery healing per level = You need to use healing spells to level it.

Level 5 Ranger

Trait bonus and how to level it:

Ranger = 4% Increased ranged damage per level = You need to use a ranged weaponry to level it.

You can only earn 35 trait points, in total. So it is recommended that you lock the following trait lines, so you don't start accidently leveling them up:

Conqueror, Barbarian, Guardian, Templar, Herald (possibly Priest or Ranger).

You can do this by going into your inventory screen, and clicking on the EEWA button/icon on the left of your hotbar. This will open up the EEWA menu screen.
Navigate to the traits section, and click the lock icon next to the traits you wish to lock. This will prevent you from leveling those traits and allow you to only level the ones your class will benefit from.
This is something only you are be able to do. If you chose not to lock any traits, you risk not earning enough exp to get the most out of the Demonologist Class.

Necromancer Attribute Points:

As your class level increases, you will be rewarded with extra attribute points in the areas that will be of the most benefit to you and your class training.

However, to get the most out of your training, I recommend that when you are allocating your naturally earnt attribute points, that you aim for a minimum of:

50+ Accuracy, 50+ Vitality, 30+ Agility, 30+ Grit.

By putting your points in these areas before the others, you will increase your stats faster, and higher then what you could as a default character with default attributes.

The Pros and Cons of this class

Pros:

When built properly this is a great solo class, and can be a great addition to any team.

Cons:

Every spell you use gives you corruption. You need a Darfari Witch Doctor II in the witchbowl cauldron to get necromancy craftable for summoning, it requires corrupted bonemeal to summon them and additional necrotic pets can be obtained by killing bosses for their recipe drops.

Class Leveling:

There are 7 levels of training to complete before you finish your training and become a Level 8 Grandmaster.

Each level has 5 tasks for you to complete, 4 hunting and gathering tasks, and a 5th task which is actually a test of skill within the NUGaming: Maze Training Dungeon.

You must complete all 5 tasks before you can progress to the next level of class training.

Each level is completed in a different biome.
