sure, the mini cleave is a nice change, but let’s ask for more shall we?
currently, we have:

Necrotic Slash
“Slash your foe twice.”
Damage (2x): (0.9) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Number of Targets: 2
Range: 130

Necrotic Stab
“Strike your foe again.”
Damage: (0.7) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Life Force: 2%
Number of Targets: 2
Range: 130

Necrotic Bite
“Strike your foe and gain life force.”
Damage: (1.2) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Life Force: 6%
Number of Targets: 2
Range: 130

now i propose the following:

Necrotic Slash
“Slash your foe twice and gain life force.”
Damage (2x): (0.9) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Life Force: 3%
Number of Targets: 2
Range: 130

Necrotic Stab
“Stab your foe and gain life force.”
Damage: (1.0) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Life Force: 3%
Number of Targets: 2
Range: 130

Necrotic Bite
“Strike your foe, gain life force and transform a boon into a condition.”
Damage: (1.2) x Power x Weapon Strength / Armor
Life Force: 3%
Number of Targets: 2
Boons Converted: 1
Range: 130

discuss!

It’s already one of the best auto-attack chains in the entire game. Why does it need buffs like these?

Keep in mind, that I main necro, and very heavily at that. Necro dagger is either the highest or second highest DPS auto-attack in the entire game. It really doesn’t need buffs.

The dagger AA chain is VERY fast and if it gained life force on the first two attacks, I think it might be too powerful. I wouldn’t mind a corrupt boon ability on the final strike, but perhaps it should be tied to the Dagger buff trait so some investment in it is necessary.

The Necro Axe auto attack is the one that needs help… it’s the most pathetic AA in the game, aside from Necro staff…

80 Necro (5), 80 Guard (4), 80 Mesmer (3)
80 Ranger (3), 80 Warrior (3), 80 Thief (3)
80 Ele (2), 80 Engi (3), 80 Rev (2)

Dagger auto is just fine, honestly. If you change anything more about dagger, now that they announced the new 2 changes, it would be a slight reduction on 3’s CD, but I don’t think that is at all necessary.

Necro main-hand dagger is fine. It’s very high damage and good life force generation, but the trade-off is that being in melee puts in you more danger than at range.

If you want to fix power necro, address staff being not so great for power builds, but almost required for defense, and the axe being overall weak in damage and utility, especially when it comes to life force generation. Also, make focus cast times shorter.

Boon Corruption on auto attack, lol? Boon rip maybe if they make it longer. But corruption is way too powerful.

axe needs attention, but not that kind of attention.

If you want more boon strip, buff Axe #3 to strip two boons instead of one.

Outside of that, Axe could use a little bit more damage or life force generation.
