Feedback:User/Yozuk/Necromancer Elite Suggestion

The Necromancer is one of the most flexible professions to play in most cases. They have strong skills that can both support allies and hinder foes. However this is a problem with them that has been mostly unnoticed for a while: the necromancer only has a small list of elite skills that are actually used. If you want to play MM and you're a player, you better use Aura of the Lich because everything else is either too expensive for a normal MM (Order of Undeath), doesn't give enough benefit (Flesh Golem), or is very difficult for a player to use (Jagged Bones). And that's just for a minion master! As for a Curses Necromancer there is a problem there too. The Necromancer has great and I mean GREAT Curse skills. But only 1 of those Curse Elites are ever used. And yes, you know what it is! Spiteful Spirit! Yes, Spiteful Spirit is a great skill and should never be changed, however the other skills don't match it. There are a few of them that will see play in PvP, like Lingering Curse, but for heavy PvE players like me who loves Curses, it doesn't have much to pick from. I'm not going to suggest that the Necromancer be given a Signet of Spirits or Shadow Form equivalent in power creep. Just a few changes to some skills that could give them a little bit more options then just SS, MM and a few specialty gimmicky builds.

I will add new suggestions as I think of new ideas.
