I'll be entirely honest here, I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never played Diablo 2 or any Dragon Age games. I also mentioned that people do die of blood loss in my last post. My definition of different magic types come from a lot of fantasy games and books from classic DnD, to Terry Pratchett novels and a whole lot of other sources.
As such, while I do think that blood based magic can fit into necromancy, it simply is more confusing for people who don't know the class. I'm pretty sure most people primarily think of raising the dead and draining life force when they think of necromancy, and the current class just doesn't have that.
It's much easier for people to understand a class if it uses the kind of thing they initially expect from the name.
Geomancer is obviously about earth based magic.
Aerotheurge is clearly air based magic and etc.
If the class was still called witchcraft or blood magic, I would be able to have an idea of what to expect from it.

Again, I would love to see some undead and black magic based spells, but the main issue is just that the class doesn't really meet expectations. As such, even though the spells are cool, I was not as excited about them as I could have been. If the class was still called witchcraft, or was renamed to some form of blood magic, I would have been ecstatic. As it is, the class just felt a bit lackluster. In addition, changing the name of the class wouldn't effect gameplay in the slightest, but would help new users know what the class was about. The only problem would be if changing the name was really difficult (which seems unlikely) or if they were planning more traditional necromancy spells, in which my complaint is invalid anyway.

EDIT: Just saw your edited post. First off, my pants are very firmly on right now.
Again, you seem to think that I dislike the spells, and that is completely wrong. I made a list of what I thought were more traditional necromancy spells that I would like to see. I also mentioned that the class currently doesn't match what a lot of people hope for when they hear necromancy. The old name of witchcraft really does fit it a lot better right now. I also mentioned that if they're adding this kind of skill anyway, my complaint is invalid.
Finally, I really don't get why you keep thinking I'm mad. This is the Suggestions and Feedback section of the forums and so I'm doing just that. I'm giving my feedback (that the class doesn't seem as necroy as it does bloody) and suggestions. In the end, it is not my game nor do I have any say in what they do, I just mentioned what I want to see and what I think of what there is so far.
