Guild Wars 2 Necromancer

Guild Wars 2 just released its newest class, the Necromancer. This class shows how combat has evolved since the original. While other classes remain prone on the ground when they have zero health able to use only their downed skills, the Necromancer goes straight into Death Shroud which is just as powerful as their normal form.

You can also activate Death Shroud at any time, by using your Life Force, a special power you collect through enemy deaths, skills, and items. When using Death Shroud, you become a spectral shade, the screen darkens and you gain access to a new set of abilities. For example, you are able to summon a Shadow Fiend minion to assist you.

Your regular form abilities will consist of Bone Minions, Life Siphon, Grasping Dead, Locust Swarm, Putrid Explosion, and even a Fear. It almost sounds like a mix between a WOW Warlock, and and Diablo II Necromancer. So far, the other classes that have been released are Ranger, Warrior, and Elementalist. The game will launch around November 2011.
