This phrase is one of my favorite combat lines of all time, and Necromancers do it sometimes when they enter Death Shroud. I looked at GW2W and made my Necro a human female just to have access to this awesome dialogue. I was saddened to find out that there is an audio effect that happens while in DS, and it makes everything sound very different and distant, like it is underwater. When a Necro goes into DS and triggers the dialogue, it sounds like this:
“I am death incar—WHOOSH”
This is really disappointing, the only way for a player to hear this line in all its glory is to hear someone else. Please consider changing when this audio effect occurs so that the dialogue can be heard completely by the player using it.
Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.
