Player proposes adding Necromancer class to Forever on Blizzard forum

On the European Blizzard forum, a detailed proposal has appeared to introduce a new class to World of Warcraft: Forever — the Necromancer, a cloth-wearing class with three specializations. The thread has so far collected a single post with no replies, but the idea itself deserves attention: the player emphasises that the Death Knight already occupies the undead niche in the original WoW, and a separate "Necromancer" was never carved out for it — and the author considers Forever a rare chance to pitch such an idea.
The author proposes three specializations. The first is a Summoner: a basic ghoul pet at the start, temporary skeleton warriors and archers as you level, and at the top of the talent tree the channel "Army of the Dead", when a wave of undead rises from the ground at once. He takes Age of Conan as the benchmark, where a necromancer had eight summon slots. The second specialization is "Lich": a pure caster DPS with dark magic and control, culminating in a temporary transformation into a lich with boosted health and damage. The third is an "unholy healer": instead of direct healing, it offers long-duration healing effects and temporary health points, designed to "corrupt" holy magic. In case Blizzard isn't ready to introduce a healer, the author suggests a third spec in the spirit of the Death Knight — but in cloth armour.
Context matters: the thread has collected exactly one post — the author's own. Blizzard has not replied in the thread. The author himself understands the odds: he writes that the "necromancer in WoW" has been his dream since Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and he has seen strong implementations of the class in Age of Conan and Guild Wars 2; weaker ones in Elder Scrolls Online.
In practice
— Nothing changes for now: this is one player's wish, not a community discussion. Blizzard hasn't responded in the thread, and there's no public position on possible new classes in Forever in this thread. — If the idea resonates, a constructive comment in the same thread makes sense; as a single post it'll quickly sink into moderation archive.
