Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer: My intention is not to ask for a nerf to stealth, since it’s the Thief’s equivalent to Deathshroud in terms of defensive and offensive applications.

While both mechanics are very different, on a macro level, Stealth is to the Thief what Death Shroud is to the Necro. It allows you avoid some damage through proper usage, has potential to increase your damage output, and receives numerous benefits through traits. While the actual direct benefits, such as boons/cleansing/healing/mobility of both vary, they have somewhat similar roles in their applications.

Hence, why are Necros not “officially” allowed to revive/stop in Death Shroud?
I mean, we can technically stomp in DS if we mash buttons fast enough to make the server think they triggered together or whatever, but that doesn’t seem like an intended consequence, and no one’s complained about it thus far. I just don’t get it. Moreover, Necromancer’s used to be able to swap weapons in Death Shroud, but that “feature” bugged out when Transformations received an update, and ANet decided they liked it better that way for some reason.

By utilizing stealth, Thieves can revive and/or stomp with reduced risk, as in PvE, mobs will drop target, while in PvP, targeted skills will miss. Necromancers, however, have no such benefits, and either have to tank the hits and rez/stomp, or endure, letting their comrade die/foe rally. And before I hear stealth apologists come in yelling that DS is equivalent to impunity every X seconds, stop and think – gaining life force to tank a hit requires as much effort and planning as using stealth. Moreover, if we were to get hit while rezzing/stomping, we lose our built up resource, similar to a Thief who uses all X seconds of stealth to achieve that purpose.

tl;dr – Let Necros ShroudStomp or ShroudRez. There’s no reason not to.

i agree.

death shroud necro should be able to revive or stomp.
the death shroud necro still can be cced anyway though.
