    Necromancer is supposed to be a kit for donors, yet it is (at least considered by me) the weakest kit in the entire game. Mobs can be easily avoided, blaze spawners rarely ever come into play, and quite frankly Necromancer is boring- no skill is really required, just place a spawner and go hide somewhere. It's supposed to be the undead counterpart of Engineer, but Engineer is massively more powerful and useful. I don't even see people ever buying Necromancer, and only using it if they bought VIP or up. Here are some suggestions that could improve Necromancer:

    -Blaze spawners removed
    -Necro can actively buff individual mobs, possibly with a cooldown or item cost
    -Attacking other players with the sword will drain their souls, increasing the Necromancer's powers
    -More control options (commanding the minions, telling them to head to a specific area)

    Necro is currently very underpowered and does not have a set role. Hopefully a rework will come soon.

    Necro is very UP and I like this idea. Makes it more similar to engineer. Maybe you can make an entire rework to fit this in? :wink:

    This whole post made me laugh. Last time I checked Blazes wernt even in the game anymore. Last time I got 10+ kills (think it was 17) I got Spiders.

    This just shows how underused Necro is. People dont even know how the class works anymore.

    I like the draining of souls bit, sounds more like a necro to me!

    I agree.
    Mostly the option to tell were they need to go, can be very helpful, since you don't have to remove and replace the spawner for that then.

    I like the ideas, at this point any buff/rework of the necro would make me happy. Unless I am playing necro wrong, which is pretty hard to do (place spawner, hide, and kill with my pickaxe), my minions never get more than 3 kills, and quite frankly that number is even generous. I average 2 minion kills per game with necro and its pretty annoying knowing that the whole concept of a necromancer is having the dead fight for you? But, if you have played necro you know that underpowered slow weak zombies don't kill anyone and half the time don't even target the enemy. Now, I don't mean to rant or insult the staff behind mcctf because I know its a lot of work to make all the changes necessary to keep the server running smoothly, but I also see numerous threads on this topic and it would be nice to know if a buff/ rework is in progress. And I didn't mean to type such a long reply to the op but after playing multiple games and getting a max 2 kills with my minions, it kind of ticks me off :stuck_out_tongue:
    Necro changes needed!
