Guild Wars 2

Just so everyone knows we have no defense mechanism against if in viable pvp builds..

Bye now..

um troll?

necros have multiple defenses against roots…. sigh.

You mean like using Consume Conditions, Putrid Mark, Deathly Swarm, Plague Signet, or the popular one, soaking it with Spectral Armor & Death Shroud?

I think what the OP is getting at is that Necro had limited counters to immob.

Consume – long cast
Plague sig- longer CD than immob’s
Putrid & Swarm – require hitting an opponent and either long cast (in the case of mark) or flight time (in the case of swarm)

I don’t really think this will be more of a problem for necro than anyone else, but immobilizing people to death will be common if they really go through with stacking duration.

like… whaat? i mean… WHAT?! how did you come too this conclusion? this change will have no impact on necro in tpvp

first of all.. without even being good at necro, you have 2 condi transfer abilities with off hand dagger and staff… which is what most necro run. and roots and immobilize are conditions. plus consume conditions

Stun sigil nerfed in 2 hours don’t worry

It was a stupid, stupid change by the devs.
Condition removal was setup nonchalantly, you can take it, you can not, either way you should manage. Actually getting good condi removal is pretty niche and not something most specs can have…

Conditions are setup exactly opposite.
They require hard counters, if you don’t have them your spec typically isn’t viable.

Empowering immobilize just increases that gap and doesn’t improve gameplay in any way.
