[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9619249, member: 5142"] Off the top of my head, D&D has a Necromancer problem IMHO. You can technically do Necromancy as part of the Wizard, but the game needs a proper Necromancer. I have had SO MANY players utterly disappointed by the D&D Necromancer because it doesn't really "feel" like the sort of Necromancers that they played and latched on to in video games. I think that aesthetics and playstyles are an important part of why people gravitate towards certain classes in video games. A lot of game designers recognize that it's important to give players some clear archetypes that appeal to different types of players. The Necromancer and WoW Warlock both fill the role of the "edgy" caster with an aesthetic to match. They exist for the people who like dealing with dark magic but are also effectively pet classes. I don't really think that the D&D Warlock, for example, fits that "role." [/QUOTE]
