The Necromancer in Vanguard deals with all sorts of creepy dead things... flesh golem type persistent pets, temporary undead minions, raising the dead to serve your purposes, exploding corpses and showering nearby enemies with bone shrapnel and gore, cursing enemies, draining the life from their foes, taking the form of the undead themselves (always fun at parties)..... The joys of being a necromancer go on and on. This is the only dedicated pet class in Vanguard at this time.

Their starting Stats are as follows:

The official Vanguard description of the Necromancer can be found below:

"Masters of unlife after death, Necromancers have the power to raise undead minions from the remains of fallen opponents, hurl spears of bone at enemies, or cause the corpse of a dead enemy to explode with force or spew poison gas. Necromancers can also summon a powerful abomination that will act as a constant companion to their masters. Abominations can equip items, gain levels and grow in power and in size as their master gains increasing power."
