Drop the condtions, necromancer needs viable non condtion weapons, they are fine with scepter and staff.

7800 hours ingame, and counting.

Yes, axe is the only useful power weapon for them and they need more. Conditions aren’tcutting it in WvW.

Strongly agree.
Also please do 1h sword or something, I feel like greatswords are so overused.

1h sword would be cool as well. I just like using greatswords so thought Id throw an Idea out there.

Yeah I’d like to see it eventually, I just feel when I walk into Lion’s Arch the most common weapon I’ll see is a greatsword, I’d like One Handed swords for a little variety.

That and the fact that I can wield an axe, but not a 1 handed sword? It just doesn’t make much sense to me, I could at least see not being able to properly wield a greatsword from a story standpoint, but I was very surprised when I found I couldn’t use 1h swords.

I would like to see both Greatsword and Sword on my necro. I recently got Twilight on my guard but when I previewed it on my fully Arah clad necro, she looked so darn kitten!

I also want the Stygian Blade because it matches my other weapons so well (Malefacterym and Eye of Rodgort) – I’m all about the looks, can you tell? :P
