What I would like to say to anet:
So you decided to crap all over the best necro build by ruining our best skill (epidemic) whilst doing kitten all to compensate us (lower epidemic cast time should of been done).
Yeh have fun epidemicing with a 1 second cast time on an ele who has infinite dodges or vs a guardian who can throw up a block at any moment – hint – this is impossible to skillfully do because of the long cast time unlike corrupt boon which is fine.
We need some buffs to the necro now imo. (o yeh and not to kittening minions). Give us some buffs to the staff auto attack and give us reduced epidemic cast time.
QFT
Given that poor necros have the lowest variety of conditions and the highest cooldowns of almost any condi classes, the only thing that made them even slightly decent was the fact that they could piggy-back off other classes condis (like eles and guards for burning). Now that epidemic was “fixed” it becomes a far less effective build with no compensation at all. It was hard to get off before; good players poop themselves when they see more than three damage condis and start cleansing or running. That’s not to mention the amount of AoE team cleanses flying around or the fact that all conditions are lost when a player goes down.
Getting a good epidemic off on a target was difficult before and now almost impossible.
I am very happy that you both are stating this because everyone treats me like I’m QQing when I point these things out.
