Warlock raising the dead!

Just shooting from the left side, but how about a Warlock skill that allows you to raise a non elite mob back to life with just 1/2 of the original attributes? Maybe put a timer on it like 60 seconds or 120 seconds before it automatically disappears. No extra skills to control, it would just auto attack what you target/attack. The trick would be that you could only res a creature if it is lootable (due to the decay rate). You wouldn't be able to loot it, if you tried resurrecting it after you loot, you would get a message like "the corpse has been tampered with".....just a thought

lol I like that idea :)

Create zombie skill.. starts w/ a 20 second timer and 3 minute cooldown ( 180 seconds ).

Every level increases the "lifespan" of the zombie by .25 seconds ( lvl 81 = 41.75 seconds | 20 + 87/4 )

Every level reduces cooldown by 1.2 seconds ( lvl 87 = 75.6 seconds )

During this time, the Zombie can absorb a number of hits equal to the level of the skill. No hit points per se, but will be destroyed after X number of hits on it.

When summoned, the Zombie has the most aggro for 10 seconds.

87 hits is like an entire boss fight(quickly killed i confess, but not a 5 sec burn).

how about each 10 levels adds 1 hit(with lvl 0 = 1 hit)? (thats 10 hits @ lvl 90)

u got it right, but at least in SW u can't "taunt" players, so the minion will have limited usability, mostly as acting as a tank while taking out guards/capping tower(like u would just use a second person for nowadays).

i'd also give it a 5 second cast(same as rez).

I really like this idea. It would be an interesting factor in the pve parts as well as in SW. However, I think that the minion should be able to absorb aoe's for you, but not regular hits. However, for every aoe it absorbs, it counts as an extra hit to it, so instead of being hit once, it would be hit twice.

Also, i'd think you should be able to rez elite and regular mobs with the skill. Because in most Instances, there are no "regular" mobs, thus making the skill useless for runs. And warlocks already have a low reputation about their dps, so it would give more reason for a warlock to be part of a run.

wouldn't it be wiser though to ask for fix in the broken dmg-mechanics of warlocks instead of new skills?

I just figured the zombie would be destroyed pretty quickly in an instance... you create a Zombie & it draws 100% aggro for 10 seconds; how long do you think it would take the room full of mobs going to the 2nd boss in Pillar to kill it? & then turn their attention on you?

I think any corpse should be able to be Zombied... This would be hilarious in Siege if you kill someone & if they don't rez or respawn, you could raise them as a minion. lol :)) They'd have no control and just run from enemy to enemy.

"that other game" has a skill that pretty much works exactly like this.

What's with the negative warlock stuff, in another game what's suggested is a necromancer not warlock, I play warlock & think it's a great class as nobody want to explore the skills & combos, i get runs & am valued in the party, my 2 cents

I'm not negative about it. I play an 87/60 warlock/priest and think it's a fun class to play. But it's not about how we view the class, it's how other people view it. :/

That other game to quote someone earlier had that skill. It didn't work very well and caused huge lag and crashes after seeing how it worked everyone stopped playing the class. It was far too difficult to make the skill useable at high levels but not overpowered at low levels. They changed the skill regularly but never were able to get it right. To be effective the zombie would have to get it's stats off the caster not the mob from which it spawned. Mobs have very different attack and defense skills that are directed at player skills and defenses and creating a zombie with those skills may make a zombie either instantly dead from any hit or totally immune to other mobs The warden class does this now and is very effective. Why duplicate a class we already have?
