What are the best races for an ESO Necromancer?
One of the best races for a Necromancer in ESO is the Dark-Elf. The Dunmer have a lot of solid attributes that could make for a good Necromancer, such as the Dynamic passive ability that affects their stamina and magicka.
The Dark-Elf has high stamina, high magicka and solid melee capabilities. Pick this race if you want a balanced mix of melee and spellcasting. Alternatively, the Altmer can also be a great pick if you want to go heavy on spells.
Khajiit are another solid option for a Necromancer in ESO. The ever-popular cat-like Khajiit are nice picks for a Necromancer because they have good recovery, meaning you can cast more and recover stamina quickly. They also have some of the best critical hits in the game thanks to Feline Ambush, making them good for a high DPS class.
Then there is the Imperial, which can cast more often due to the inherent ability cost reduction from Red Diamond. This is obviously good for any caster, but you also get high health and stamina as an added bonus due to the Tough and Imperial Mettle passives.
Finally, a Breton is a great choice because they get more Magicka over time and can reduce the cost of their abilities due to Magicka Mastery. Just like the Altmer this is a solid choice if you want to cast spells, which is what you’ll be doing as a Necromancer.
Why should you pick a Necromancer in ESO?
Necromancers are masters of elemental damage that can protect themselves and raise the undead to fight alongside them.
They’re a fun class to play if you’re into that kind of thing, and there are lots of races that work well with them. You can pick just about any race you want, but some are better than others as listed above.
If you like the idea of playing a Necromancer you should go for it – after all, the game should be about having fun. It’s probably not the best class available, but it’s pretty solid overall and should hold its own alongside some of the better classes in the game.
