Official Necro Ability Discussion

[[DE]Megan]

 

You heard it right Tenno, new abilities for Necro are in the works! We discussed our current plans and are interested in your thoughts and discussion.

 

Please post all discussion about Necro abilities here so we can easily keep track.

 

Recap:

 

SOUL PUNCH: Direct X% damage that knocks the soul out of them, 5% armor debuff, stacking.

 

TERROR TOTEM: Necro deploys a totem of terror, causing X number of enemies within radius to
freeze in fear; the rest will flee.

 

SEARCH THE DEAD: Generates loot from corpses (health, energy, ammo, etc).

 

CLONE THE DEAD: Necro creates friendly nano bot clones of the last X enemies he has killed.

sounds pretty cool! i look forward to spending my plat on him!

[Dochi.]

Ooooh seems pretty nice. I wonder how much the X's are :3

[Relish]

OMG, these sound awesmazing.

[Korion]

cool!

[AegisGrey]

Soul punch is probably the best name for a power ever.

 

Life drain seems like it could be really strong if mixed with the Equilibrium mod. Significant energy and health.

 

Edit: And now life drain is gone? I think I liked that better than search the dead.

Next thing you know Warframe will be like Diablo 2 and you'll never know what's going on because the Necro has so many minions up.

 

But I kid. This sounds pretty awesome.

[Hateborne]

Does it come with some seriously dark looking particle effects?

[Smoose3]

So this frame will be one of the best late game frames ever.

[BRad_Skirata]

Necro looks absolutely badass

[tantananan]

awesome!

[RustGear]

nice to see another frame that can heal people

[theGreatZamboni]

Did you guys even consider making him manipulate the technocyte virus?

[unholyblood]

awesome

[OblivionNecroninja]

Search the Dead is kinda "whatever", but I really like the powerset overall.

Also, PLEASE don't change the name of Soul Punch. I love it! It's just so cheesy!

[AlienFromBeyond]

Could you post the actualy 3 ability since it was said on stream that it isn't Life Drain?

 

And how long do the clones from Clone the Dead last?

[ast00]

Make it's drop rate normal and I will rock this all day.

[Masquerade_]

yeah so freaking happy about this 

[SynisterDoom]

Did you guys even consider making him manipulate the technocyte virus?

i think he has a built in poison resistence... at least i HOPE he does... 

[itslikeme]

How his 3rd skill is going to work? 

It seems more like passive than active...

Not a big fan of search the dead, any chance you could also make the corpses explode for AoE damage based on their health whilst searching the bodies?

 

Edit: What was the reason for this thread again? If you're going to ignore feedback don't ask for it.

Search the Dead seems like a dumb ability. And if it's a 3 ability, quite costly just for an increased chance to drop items.

[Skipper1236]

I am a bit curious about his ultimate. Hhat will the number of enemies revived be restricted to. How long will the nano bot clones last?

[SynisterDoom]

well we know he's really cool and all but can we get an ETA?

[SirProper]

I like the sound of the Raise dead. Soul punch is good. Search dead/life drain....not sure which is actually happening, but that feels a bit trivial, although it does make use of Equilibrium that you just put into the game. Enemies...looking at you grineer, already run away too much.
