Guild Wars 2

D/D ele might be the strongest pick but lets not forget what would rise to power as they get nerfed.

Cele signet necros is one that worries me the most.
All I am saying is let’s not be one dimensional and nerf one class at a time but actually BALANCE the game by actually asking for a buff/nerf for multiple classes.

Nerf Celestial amulet: problem solved.

How is Cele signet necros even over powered?

Mia Crazymike.1780:

because it [apparently] counters d/d ele.

not overpowered stand-alone though.

I main engie and still do but sometimes play ele to be more useful for the team. Cele signet necros are problematic for builds that do heavy burning and bleeds (do these still exist?)

Being an engie, I have a bias against necros but for the sake of balance, I think it’s good they’re around.

I can’t stand threads about burning being OP or pls nuuurf burning – because cleanses and celesignec exist to counter them. Besides, aside from ele, burn builds are squishy.

I don’t use Boons vs CeleSignet Necro.
How useful is that build vs me?

Apparently you don’t understand what makes necros strong (against celeddele). Necros in general are a reactive class, as opposed to a proactive class. They are strong against proactive classes that create a large number of boons on themselves, that the necro can react to and corrupt. Necros are strong against proactive condi classes that spam condis, as the necro can then convert it to health, transfer it back etc. Necro won’t get out of hand because their strength is currently reactive, rather than proactive (see old dumbfire). Necros also don’t have punishing tools against proactive crowd control (they can trait for ds as a stun breaker, but that is only defensive reactively, and does not punish the person ccing).

Depends, if you have no condi clear it can still be dangerous vs them. Cele necro shuts down bunker builds. Thats why teams always focus them.

Rather than nerf ele, I would like for more boon hate to counter them. If they brought sword thieves back into the meta it would help.

Revenant has a little boon hate as well and are fairly good against eles.

Cele necros are nothing to be feared by. Remove burning speed evade frames! Change burning on ring of fire.

I thought necros were focused for their lack of disengagement which equals easy 5v4 while they spawn.
