Guild Wars 2

Does anyone think this could happen? He has the toughness and health required to take a small amount of beating, and his debilitation can make any one character trying to take treb just look like a man down for a short while until back-up arrives.
The Spectral Walk swiftness lasts for the entire duration of the run, and you need to cast it shortly after dropping from the hill in order to recall back in time.

What? I don’t know what you’re talking about with spectral walk. Its not a good skill, they’ll just kill the treb if you jump off the edge. And they’re not a “man down” since its a 1v1.

A well-played necro is harder to kill than some alternatives, so I figure, a player that did not kill the trebuchet guy, did not destroy the trebuchet, and is likely doomed since back-up is on the way, is a man down. His best case: kills the treb and stops it from firing for half a minute max. His worst case: takes too long to do anything useful, dies. This could be a thing.

The Boz.2038:

a player that did not kill the trebuchet guy, did not destroy the trebuchet

Yea, that’s not even close to being true.

Your situation would make your team a man down since you have more people at your treb trying to deal with a single attacker. Its not a thing. Necros aren’t bad on the treb, but for none of the reasons that you mentioned.

Just tried it out, spectral walk has a too short duration (even when specced) to do the treb run… too sad :/

It doesn’t do the entire run, but it can definitely shorten your walk by ~10 seconds, and it grants a good duration swiftness.

Ye, but because of that other classes are just faster (ran some tests a hour ago: Mesmer with portal needs ~21 seconds, Elementalist with max speed ~28 seconds, Nekro is definitivly slower).

Did you test the necro with the new spectral walk, including recall cutting 10s off?

Ye, also specced it for longer duration.
