Guild Wars 2

So, I was thinking about how 1 dimensional necro’s are at the moment, and a good change to make some different styles of game play would be to change the dark combo field on well of darkness to a smoke combo. Why it’s a dark combo, and a necro’s only viable combo finisher is blast makes no sense, because dark field + blast finisher = blind, which well of darkness already does. A thieves black powder ability is very similar to well of darkness, it blinds in an AoE over 4 seconds, yet this is a smoke field, so it would kind of make sense to give necro’s the same.

This is just a small change that could really spice up the necro in it current state.

This is a good idea – would be a very nice change.

When looking at necro combo fields, another combo finisher on any weapon other than staff would be nice – but this would be much more difficult to balance.

I would assume the biggest reason for keeping necros from having access to lots of finishers is that many ‘dark’ finishers are life leeching. That’s a very powerful finisher to be able to create on your own, especially as a class who already gets skills that steal life.

@ Redscope. You clearly are unaware of necro’s finishers. To get the life steal from dark fields you need projectile finisher, necro has 1 projectile finisher which is necrotic grasp, this is only a 20% proc rate and is very slow. Necro already has 2 other dark fields to use, so losing this 1 for the sake of more diversity and interesting play would be more then acceptable.
