Guild Wars 2

It would be cool if the Necromancer’s scepter had a projectile animation like the Risen Ravagers scepter animation. The light purple projectile it shoots at you looks cool in my opinion.

I’m just starting a Necromancer and as far as the scepter animation goes, it’s the most dull out of the scepter wielders I’ve experienced.

Keep in mind that projectiles are not just cosmetic in GW2. Right now i think the scepter attacks are not considered projectiles and so can get past reflection effects (like the veteran reef floater dome).

Maybe my description is wrong. When I say Projectile I mean the orb like ball that appears when the scepter is wielded.

Example: The Mesmers scepter shoots out a purple projectile ball and the Guardians scepter shoots out a light blue projectile ball. I don’t see anything coming from the Necromancers scepter when wielded.

Thanks for your reply.

The necromancer Scepter hits the target directly – think of it like a ranged melee attack. Goes right through projectile shields as mentioned which is very cool.

Yep. The lack of a projectile also makes the Necromancer’s Scepter auto-attack one of the fastest hitting attacks in the game. I’d happily go without a projectile on my Mesmer’s Scepter in exchange for increasing the attack speed.

I didn’t know that. Excuse me I’m just getting started with the Necromancer, and yes, that’s very cool.
