Why is there almost no necromancers? In ESO or others games

Todays games in the genre of RPG or MMORPG I feel there is a lack of specific type of class, vocation, or whatever you want to call it that is missing it is as the title says Necromancer. My question is why? Its been bugging me like a splinter in my brain. There is so much cool ideas, abilities, feeling, innovation, execution that are associated with necros. I don't want to say that developers and people that design classes can't see past their own noses and go mainstream and don't add necromancers as a available class heck even a skill line for sorcerers would be fine, but I would rather want a complete class on its own. There were initially going to be 5 classes in this game and the Warden class is missing, or cancelled I don't know, maybe it would be adequate to fill that with Necromancer? Bone magic, Poison, and Pets skill lines or talent trees or whatever you call them in this game for the necro yeah its taken from Diablo big fking whopp wanna fight about it? Could be easily renamed. Undead themes > Daedric themes imo. Same way I think about WoW between Undead > Demons.

Lorewise for all your lore fanatics out there it would make sense isn't the main villain in this game his name starts with M in the story that snatches people souls a necromancer? Fight fire with fire. And souls being taken away=to what we connotate with death. And death is associated with the magic of necromancy bringing people back from the dead.

The Hobbit films based on the books made by peter jackson the main villain there the pale orc is a necromancer as well meaning most of the marketing strategy is already done there the hobbit films reach out to more people then ESO will, and someone might want to live out their fantasy in the game in this case ESO by playing a necromancer like that pale orc. There is so much genres and themes on todays popculture even without traditional RPG DnD games that explore the theme of death: the walking dead, world war Z, dying light, left 4 dead etc... GW2 has necromancer classes and why shouldn't ESO have them?

There is tons of fan made abilities out there in the internet that imho most of them would be better thoughts for abilites or spells then what the class team of ZOS or bethesda can come up with. But those two companys are good enough on its own. I'm just saying this if they are to lazy to think of new spells, or abilities there is easy way out.

Fail.

The Pale Orc (Azog) and the Necromancer are TWO completely different characters.

Which you'd have known if you'd read the books written by Tolkein upon which the films are based. But considering your previous efforts at research I'm guessing you haven't.

As to ESO, there may not be an actual Necromancer class, but it's likely there will be death themed spells much like there have been in previous TES games.

And why does everything in ESO need to fall back on what every other game is doing?

Also, what Warden class? Five classes? First I've heard, do you have a source?

Doesn't matter still counts as one because they are both mentioned in the film my point still stands. Maybe next time lad take everything with a pinch of salt protip.

Nope. Many separate characters are mentioned in films. If you're posting something like this, it isn't in the hope of a discussion. Its intending to get a reaction out of posters. That is covered under the forum rules for trolling and flame-baiting. Rethink what you want to discuss, and post it in clearer terms, please.
