Guild Wars 2

Signed.

My necro has too boring weapon sets compared to pretty much any class and I’m willing to pay money to transform him into elemetalist or mesmer.

I’m not rerolling because I have no time.

Just make it possible.

Or rework the necro.

Thanks.

I get that you are disliking the bugs that a necro has, but as for bad in pve, I don’t see it. My build works perfectly in pve. the skills do 98% of what they are supposed to do and I’m sometimes able to take down champions myself(other times kite them until one other person comes along).

Before you say anything, My necro is lvl 80, geared out in mostly rare/exotic gear, is a semi-hard condition spread necro focused on bleed, poison and weakness spreading as well as kiting. My build consists of a 10/20/10/20/10 trait distribution and weapon sets of staff/scepter+warhorn.

Minion master was only good for the early levels, if that’s your build you should look into becoming a condition-mancer. Not assuming you are, just a friendly suggestion.

If you want the full build I can provide it.

I know this sounds like an over dramatized whine, but I’m a necro, and this last patch is basically the last one I can take. Our class has been made completely useless in PvE, and we still lack the actual fixes/buffs we desperately need.

I’ve spent way too much time and effort on my necro as my main character and it is completely depressing. So please, let us class swap (one time only) for 800-1000 gems or something like that.

I’m being completely honest, I would like to continue enjoying the game, but I don’t want my months of effort gone completely to waste.

I completely agree – I am fed up and feel cheated, please allow me to swap classes, or I’ll have to move onto something else… It’s no fun feeling as if I/we picked the loser class (when compared to most others (Mesmer)).

Being pigeon-holed into a single play style isn’t “fun”, it’s a requirement… For a game that “eliminated” the traditional roles (healer, dealer, warrior) – it makes the least amount of sense to force (viable) play styles.

I know that, hell I agree with some of the stuff said on here. But a lot of it is whining about the class being useless in PvE, or the weapons being boring. Which it’s not.

The weapons for example. Secpter has an AoE cripple/bleed in one skill, poisons with a skill that does more damage the more conditions are on them. that one weapon alone was meant for pve. you get another kiting cripple skill with just the axe as well. Almost all the weapons are good in pve, however they are mostly directed to condition damage. Necromancers are conditioneer’s. yes there are other things it can do, but if you don’t want to do conditions, then you should just spam 1 for the staff skill, or play a hammer guardian or something.

Conditions are the lifeblood of this profession. If you look back to the videos made by ANet way before the beta’s, they were always about taking the foe down with conditions and kiting them to death.

The only thing I could say that possibly makes them not as great as necromancers in GW1 is the lack of minions being able to be produced, minion related skills, and spiteful spirit.. that skill was my favorite, and not having those things in a gw game seems off. Besides that though, there isn’t a whole bunch wrong with the profession. The skills mostly work as they should, and they hit hard if you are geared properly.

If you dislike playing a specific role, wait for TES:O to come out. Maybe you will get you’re ‘proper’ necromancer fix there.

I would love an item like this implemented.
Nothing important, really. But i don’t feel Guardian is my playstyle anymore, so i wanna change it into Warrior or something.

Or ANET can make it like make-over kit. The cheap one lets you change class with same type of armor (example : Guardian <→ Warrior, or Ranger <→ Thief, etc) and the expensive one lets you change to any class you want.

Just my opinion tho, would love to see ANET’s reply.
