Guild Wars 2

im a long time gw player. i love the necromancer in almost every game ive played. the only one i dont like them in is gw2. why?

1st aesthetic the minions you summon are not scary. they look like balloon animals or shaved cats. theyre cartoony to the point of absurdity. i would rather minions were completely taken out of the game than have what weve got. I LOVE necromancing and dark magic and what youve given us is something a preschooler dreams about, yes dreams not nightmares. and im not even kidding about taking them out, either do it right or dont do it. you can always have spells powerd by death or something.

the damage, this is poor with the exception of some bleed builds and wells are alright for stripping boons and applying conditions. but bleeds quickly reach the max stack in parties and why cant we have a high damage class? make DS increase power and precision dependant on level and grant immunity to certain conditions or something (im not saying it would have to do that i just dont want an extra life bar with skills i cant change and that i dont like).

i honestly think everything about the necromancer is wrong . comming from a guy that preferrs necromancers curses blood magic death magic to all other classes, i dont like playing my necromancer. and so i dont. it isnt fun and it isnt what i envisioned a necromancer to be. what i envision a necromancer to be is having scary minions and dark lingering curses. and life leeching attacks. i want my enemies to feel like a wraith of death is still following them either through poison bleeding or leeching even after a fight has disengaged or ive lost. instead you gave me a character that takes hits like a champ and not much else….. comming from the gw1 necro this is a poor substitute. wheres an insidious parasite lingering curse parasitic bond aura of the lich and life siphon?you have flash kill classes so why not give the necro a solid counter to them by giving them decent damage mitigation transfer to minions or spirits or higher burst damage. no more ballooon animals!
