Guild Wars 2

Is this class getting nerfed anytime soon? I haven’t been following these boards as much.

I feel rediculously OP on one and I this is like my 2nd time playing one.

Marks, fear, bleeds, lots of hp

Wish my thief could come close to this kind of usefulness in a team fight.

Your thief gets the 1v1 farming perk. You can give up your cheesy stealth and stupid burst damage for team utility if you want, but you don’t get to have both.

Exactly. Necros have good burst and (still yes, over the top AOE with conditions ONLY, not power), but they don’t have anywhere near the options for roaming/mobility/survivability/evade+cc spamming like thieves. Fear isn’t as spammy as people make it out to be. It’s a decently long CD mark, a DS ability and a wall you need to not stand on.

the way I see it as a thief you either choose to be a 1v1er (0/30/30/10/0 or variants thereof)

or burst (10/30/0/0/30 or 25/30/0/0/15) which is not good at 1v1 with poor condi removal

Thief IMO in a bad place compared to necro.

Funny, I said the same thing when I hopped into PvP with a level 2 thief I rolled. I feel ridiculously OP playing a thief. Stealth, stabstabstab – dead. Stealth, stabstabstab… not dead? Shadow Trap across the entire map and find a new target. rinse and repeat.

You can 1v1 any non-condi bunker with a burst spec, don’t be misleading.

And most importantly, you don’t die to anybody if you don’t want to as D/P. All it takes to reset and retreat is a BP>HS or shadow refuge.

If I’m stuck losing a 1v1 or bump into a thief on my necro, there is no question, I WILL die. And I can’t run away. Neither can my berserker ranger for that matter, or my warrior.

Necro’s only use is in a teamfight. Any time he’s left alone, he’s dead. He can’t disengage against bad match ups. He can’t port into elevated terrain if he gets focused unless it’s a preset minion with a long cd.

PLS nerf the necro he is not balanced

People are so “angry” about the Terror/Dhuumfire combo that they now call necro OP whenever they die to one. I kill them with a powerbuild while they try to AoE me down, OP. I minion master them to death, OP again. Built around vampiric, the healing received from it is too much…

The peoples hopping on the bandwagon and playing them because it’s the FoTM are just making it seems even worse, because 2-3 necro can be a bad day, as can be 2-3 of anything really if you’re not prepared.

When I want to relax from the hate I receive as a necro when I solo tPvP, I hop on my guardian and just build for an anti fear/anti burning build, and normally kill these necro with ease. Does it work everytime? Of course not. Is it a viable counter? Sure is.

These burst build do have cooldowns, and knowing them goes a long way. Like any other burst build, if you’re stuck out of stunbreakers you’ll normally eat dirt, especially if you face them alone.

I think a mix of not facing us often and that we were merely a speed bump before is what created the whole Armaggedon in the first place. I do however hope that we can use this spotlight to bring our class more in line with the attrition style we were “promised”, not just mindless nerfs to calm the mass.

Look, I get that the dhuumfire+terror 30/30/10/0/0 is a tragic Op build in the current metagame, and needs to be looked at. But when I get called op when I’m not even using a condition build. Clearly, something is wrong with this community logic, and it’s almost impossible to even take you seriously whenever you call for a nerf anymore. At this point, I will ask you to l2p, and move on. Or, make a constructive thread, instead of some misleading misinformations, and generalization. Be more specific, not every necromancers’ build are over the top. In fact, there is only one which is the dhuumfire+terror combo. So next time, if you ever lose against a hybrid/power/minion/condition withot dhuumfire builds, it’s most likely a l2p issue or simply the player you faced is better than you. Face the reality for once.

I’m not asking necros to get nerfed.

I just may switch to one because they simply do more than thieves.

Just heard ANet might be nerfing them. Wondering if the rumors are true.

I refuse to play condition Necro until its fixed…its boring as hell now.

So my Necro is full glass cannon and named Condis Rfo Nubs. Y’know, had to make it clear.

So far only downside to playing the 30/30/10 necro is that you can disengage from getting zerged. You can get away from 1-2 guys tho with the right placement of spectral wall and some fear, etc. I am running spirit walk also so the swiftness helps too.

Possibly strongest class in GW2 atm.

Makes my thief look like this in comparison http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j108/bulahbroadbottom/skinny.jpg
