Basically what the description says, More troops with necromancy WITHOUT using Purple. There is only one troop in GOW that does use purple what has Necromancy and that’s Warlock. I would not mind seeing Valkyrie with her Necromancy trait back !!! ---

I believe that’s kind of the point, as it fits “thematically”. Purple is mostly the color of the undead and magic kingdoms usually. That is why I believe most Necromancy troops are purple. ---

I would love valk getting necro back. Mana shield is a joke, it is basically “protection from mab’s spell”. ---

They’re looking at making mana shield protect from mana drain as well, that will make Valkyrie a lot stronger 🙂 From [http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/welcome-to-nimhains-lair-may-21st/24478:](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/welcome-to-nimhains-lair-may-21st/24478:) > [@Welcome to Nimhain's Lair: May 21st](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/welcome-to-nimhains-lair-may-21st/24478/1): > > Finally, as I said earlier we’ve been looking at better means of offering counter play to Famine + Mana drain in general. With that we’re looking to change the Mana Shield trait to also gain immunity to Mana drain. Now this seems like an obvious solution so why didn’t we do this earlier? The main reason is it isn’t possible, due to some technical issues with the way our Adobe Air client is coded… I mean, it IS possible (it’s always possible to change code), but it’s a high risk change that would certainly introduce some bugs. With the PC/ Mobile version switching over to Unity, we are now able to investigate adding this extra immunity (this is not 100% guaranteed to happen though). ---

I wouldn’t mind seeing a dragon or two with Necromancy. Would work great with The Dragon Soul. ---

No, necromancy is a bad trait and doesn’t need any more in this game. there are enough. it is only useful in teams for soul farming - which are no good for normal pvp or guild wars anyway ---

> [@Tache](#): > > No, necromancy is a bad trait and doesn’t need any more in this game. there are enough. it is only useful in teams for soul farming - which are no good for normal pvp or guild wars anyway That’s not 100% true. If you don’t have a troop with the Necromancy trait the most souls you can gain is 40/40. With each necromancy or Necro-Master trait this number increases (at least it does on the Xbox). Every necromancy trait potentially increases the damage of any troop that does damage based on souls (Pharos-Ra, Warg etc)
