Guild Wars 2

Almost 1 week after the patch came and i still see no topic about a change took place, but not mentioned in the patch notes. Completely in Anet style …

Fear no more interrupt bosses.

Have anyone noticed ? Not long ago i was able to prevent half of the skills of the bosses with fear. Now seem the fear doesn’t affect the bosses at all 90% of the time. You can see the debuff on them, but they continue to spawn aoe, channel, hit or run directly at you. Have this been discussed somewhere?

Patch Notes:
General

• Fear is now properly affected by Defiant.

It was in patch notes. And it’s a good change. Necros are no longer OP ;P

Ohh i see. I think this was the last nail in Necro coffer. Any point to take a Necro in dungeon? Can they do something (anything) better than other class?

necros are still a good dungeon class, lots of aoe + blinds.

Konfuzfanten.6503:

necros are still a good dungeon class, lots of aoe + blinds.

You mean the one ability that has a 60 second cool down and only lasts for 5 seconds? Thieves apply blind much more reliably and more often.

Elementalists do AoE better and more often than necromancers. In fact they can give other classes AoE by dropping Ice Bows and Fiery Greatswords. Neceromancers cannot do that.

Necros specced in conditions and wells are still VERY valuable. They bring decent DPS and great support. It’s definitely not a class to complain with in fractals.
I would not bring more than 1 though (due to stack of conditions which is not well designed)
