    Both of these changes are now live!
    Necro Buffs:​
    The Goal of This Buff:
    These changes are not major, however we aim to increase necro's usefullness with small updates like this. This buff is supposed to make the class more of a defensive powerhouse, one that you'd consider picking over something like heavy in certain situations.
    • Zombies now apply weakness 1 on a melee hit for 10 seconds.
    This allows the zombies to not die as quickly while also debuffing anyone that would be aiming to clear the flagroom for the enemy team’s offense.

    • Skeletons now apply slowness 1 on a melee hit for 5 seconds.
    This would allow mobs to land more hits on a player while also assisting recovery by slowing down flag carriers.

    • Bow-Skeletons now apply slowness 2 on arrow shot hit for 5 seconds.
    Same idea as the previous point, however since the bow is the final upgrade of skeletons, the slowness level is higher.

    Banner Hitbox Fixes:​
    What was done:
    Two tags were added, one removes the hitbox from the banner, allowing projectiles to travel through it. The second tag fixed the color issue with the banner that the first tag presented.

    Edit: If you see the banner on fire upgrade your minecraft to a version higher than 1.8. You cannot see it on 1.8.9+.
    (Praise putty for making these happen^^)

    Played a bit of Necro with some friends. There was about 3-5 of us but the usefulness of the zombies were still very minute. The class is definitely improving but this change doesnt give it enough viability to make it worthwhile. The Zombies are too slow to be used in any serious combat scenario so attempting to farm a killstreak is difficult since your backup is slower than walking speed. Speed II actually gives the zombies a chance to hit a player, but it's barely much. If the class continues to change in the direction it currently is it could possibly be a useful defensive class.

    So Miskey Orange Storm and I all did some testing on the t server last night.. Basically what we found is that the AI of the mobs are complete ****. Like for example, Mobs with the highest speed have a hard time hitting the player while they are standing still so much less while they are moving. Skeletons have trouble hitting players with their bow and blazes miss their stuff a majority of the time. We concluded that to make Necro useful it'd need some hard fixing with the AI of the mobs, because even though they all can actually do damage, they're just bad at hitting and aiming and die so easily.
