Tip: use it while in DS… yes, it also works in DS.
Did this change your opinion on the trait? its very easy to stack might with and will definitely improve your DPS by quite a bit…
Lemme know what you think… (on the trait and the vid :p)
FOR PROFESSION BALANCE FORUM:
I also posted it here, because some people have necro alts but don’t check the necro forum (where i posted it first)
IMO its the most misunderstood trait all due to arena net’s HORRIBLE tool tips which are sometimes completely wrong…
I hope I cleared some stuff up and that people now understand what it really does.
(It still is underwhelming, however)
It’s a terrible trait. Most people know it gives more than one stack but it is still terrible. That’s because the last thing you need when at low health is more damage. Furthermore, your not going to realistically get more than 5 stacks unless multiple people are hitting you in which case you are dead anyway. Furthermore, if you save up death shroud to use this trait to its max effectiveness your not using death shroud properly. It is one of the worst traits in the game and what you posted changes none of that.
Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.

Also, I never said that this trait was good/bad, I simply stated how it works and how to maximize its effect.
I read that thread, at most 3 people didn’t understand the trait fully. Reread it yourself and you’ll see most people know exactly what the trait does. Also, I understand what you did. I explained why what you said doesn’t justify how bad the trait is. Maximizing this traits effect is a death sentence. Also, you stated your opinion at the top the traits is good. That isn’t even remotely true as I explained.

Most people didn’t get, no one corrected the guy who made the thread or said “that is not how it works”. Also, I said HOW to maximize the effect of this trait (below 25%, In full DS, against fast hitting target) not that you SHOULD. And didn’t you see the question mark? …good? = as in stating with the right things could be usefull to some extent. But yes, it’s a horrible trait, (but again) I was merely showing how it work because
It is misunderstood.
Problem is you won’t be full DS at 25% health. That’s what people are saying. The only form of damage mitigation excluding spectral armor for necros is death shroud. Having a full bar under 25% health is a matter of inexperience. And even if you do, and if for whatever reason you do get 25 might stacks, your low health and the diminushing of your ds ressource makes you vulnerable.

I can tell you for certain that people in that thread like spoj, bhawb, and Dranor definitely know how that trait works. The issue is not understanding it’s that the the trait is terrible. It isn’t nearly as misunderstood as you think, but I guess it’s fine for the very few people who don’t understand.

Its a bad trait. It requires you to be hit multiple times while very low HP on a profession with already bad might stacking (except in a single build). It is entirely meaningless in PvE where you want to maintain 90%+ HP, fairly meaningless in WvW since you shouldn’t be getting that low, and in PvP a sudden spike of might isn’t at all going to change anything. Its not like you’re going to be in a fight, and bait it out with full LF and the second you hit low HP you’re like “haha, gotcha now, eat ALL THE DAMAGE”; because in reality you’ll do it, maybe deal a bit of extra damage, and die all the same.
still useless trait, by the time it becames use full you will prolly die in a couple of hits. so you only get a couple of might before going into downstate. yay
It doesn’t seem productive to a low hit point threshold trait, to have an offensive boon trigger. To me, it would be much more logical to have a defensive boon trigger.

I think this particular ‘synergy’ is supposed to be what they’re emphasizing with the ’don’t die, Death Shroud! and then die’ trait.
