Guild Wars 2

Lich Form used to be even stronger in the beta, than it got nerfed. Since then it wasn´t changed at all. So why it is a problem now ? It is easy to avoid, on a long cooldown and when you use it you are a sitting duck with a big target on your head that says “Please beat the kitten out of me”

Is everyone forgetting that for the Lich Form attack to even be strong the necro will be built glassy, and thus easily disposed of if focused? I mean light armor class here people come on…

Deals lots of damage at the cost of low defense (and we’re talking about a long cooldown skill, no one is out there spamming this.)

As it should be.

If it were a Melee attack that cleaved id agree with you OP, but seeing as how it’s a VERY slow moving VERY telegraphed projectile they can only be used during a 180s CD and that it can be reflected back at the necro with relative ease along with several other factors (IE heal and utilities are locked out) I’d say it’s fine.

Personally I’ve never had an issue with dealing with it during team fights, but then again most, if not all, of the teams I’ve played with had SOMEONE with a reflect.

I use Lich in spvp because the rest is kinda stale.

I die alot when using lich, too much actually, and the only map it;s remotely usable on is Khylo and then only when defending clocktower combined with worm and spectral armor and 50% less damage when falling.

very niche..

Lich is actually a pretty bad elite that you can put on CD by dropping off a 1 inch ledge..

no attacks on lich are worth using except #1 because you simply don’t have time to dish out more then three #1 attacks before being reduced to nothing withint a second.
the #2 on lich is usefull but the casttime is horrid, the rest of the lich skills are useless when in combat because of the long cast times and being blockable.

I would like to see someone casting all their skills in lichform and lasting as long as the elite takes to run out. on high end games. without dying, while in combat..
I doubt anyone without a tpvp team would be able to pull it off.
